WIGAN ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,— In the list of elections and account of the number of Members who are for and against Reform, published in your Paper, you have stated that there were for this borough one for and one against in the last Parliament, and that the same is the case now, which is incorrect. The Mem bers for this borough in the last Parliament both voted against Reform, and one in favour of it has now been elected, under circumstances greatly honourable to the electors ; for although this has hitherto been considered a close borough, four-fifths of the resident burgesses voted for Reform candidates, and most of them gave plumpers— and had they not acted thus liberally and spiritedly they would have been overborne by the out-voters, who had been brought by the other parties from the most distant parts of the kingdom. I thus write to you, pre suming that you would wish to have your list correct. A FRIEND TO REFORM. Wigan, May 18. IRELAND.-CLONMEL, MAY 13. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. ) Amongst the many triumphs of Reform which you have recorded in The Sun,—that fearless advocate of the liberties of British subjects,—perhaps I may not intrude too much by requesting you to record that the county of Tipperary sends forward to the new Parliament two to one in support of his Majesty's Crown and dignity, the people's inalienab'e rights, and the true safeguard of the Constitution. Monday last was appointed for sending a Member for waid to the British Senate, to represent the rotten and close borough of Clonmel,l comprising its dozen mem bers, though the town displays its 26,000 inhabitants.— Eyre Coote—the Anti. Reformer, the nominee of the Bagwells—was the man of their choice. James Morton, a flour-factor, was the proposer ; and David Malcolmson, one of the Society of Friends, the seconder. The usual farce was gone through in about ten minutes. Mr. Hackett, an independent inhabitant, perceiving the motley crew going off, proposed three cheers for the King : it Was echoed by 10,000 persons, nine times nine; yet, strange to say, those Anti-Reformers, those only imaginary supporters of the Constitution, decamped, isithout appa rently caring for King, Lords, or Commons. Thursday the tug of war came on ; two Reformers for " the whol e Bill" were duly elected, and without oppo sition,—Captain John Hely Hutchinson, the nephew of the first and last of Ireland's best pitriots, and the heir of General Lord Donouglimore, was one, and Thomas Wyse, Esq., the other. The independents, one and all, would have thrown Wyse overboard, for his delinquency on the Repeal question, and his conduct to the Man of the People, could they have got one more to suit their knuckle.— Ahoy have thought ill of O'Connell, for leaving Water ford ; but those who are best acquainted with its localities have thought otherwise. The Waterford Boys are too mercurial—too ambitious—in a word, they would fain be all Hon. Members ; hence the disputes, the fights, and quarrels between the Powers, the Barrows', the Wyses', &e. So you will easily perceive that Waterford was not altogether a bed of roses for the Man of the People. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTION. TWELFTH DA Y.-MARCH 20. The important question as to the right of the freemen resid en t i n t h e town to vote f or t h e coun t y was a t n i ne o'clock this morning brought under discussion in the Shire ha, before the assessor, Mr. N,Clarke. Mr. Serjeant Adams appeared in support of the right, and Mr. Hill against. .The question was raised by the tender and rejec tion of the vote of a freeman named Moon. Mr. Serjeant Adams called witnesses to prove that that there were 120 acres of enclosed land to the west of the town, on which the freemen, from time immemorial, bad the right of depastur lug, by turning each a certain number of cattle upon it, on payment of a sum of about 175., at present, per head, but which sum had risen at different times, being, as Mr. Serjeant Adams contended, regulated so as to form a fund adequate to the paying of the land tax and keeping the fences in repair, and meeting all other contingent ex pences. There were also S 7 acres on the north of the town, which were enclosed in 1794, and were, by Act of Parliament, given in lieu of previous common-rights, "to and for the use of the freemen of Northampton," subject to such regulations as the trustees might s ee proper to make, and also to be used for a race course for two days between July and October. The trustees it appeared levied the same rate per head on this land as on the old, and also limited the time of depasturing, &e. from May till February. During the intervening months it was shut up to give the grass time to grow. There were 400 resident freemen, but many of these did not exercise their rights. Three that did exercise it were called, the first estimated his right at 121. ; the second, at 1 81. 18s. ; the third, at 361. per annum. On the con trary, Mr. Hill contended, that the old enclosure was the property of the Corporation, and that the charge levied per head on the cattle was a rent-charge, but which was fixed ao low, in order to give a privilege to the freemen. And, that with respect to the new enclosure , the restrictions aeon it were incompatible with its being the common free hold of the freemen. He also called witnesses to prove that th e land was so overstocked, that no profit could be derived from it. The arguments of counsel, and examination of witnesses have consumed the entire da y , and it is not pro bable any decision will be come to till to -morrow morning. At the close of the poll to-day the numbers were- Althorp - 2,433 Milton - - - 96 Cartwright • - - . 1,973 Knightley - - - - 1,393 Lord Aurnoite said the events of that day, and the votes polled were so few, that he had scarcely any thing to ad drecs them upon. The poll stood nearly as it did the day before, and their condition was only altered by their being one day nearer the legal termination of the poll. The in terest that day had not been in the booth, but elsewhere. A discussion had arisen on a question of great importance, hut respecting the decision on which he felt personally no concern, for lie hoped and trusted that if the question were determined in the affirmative, he should receive as Much support from that class as he had from every other. Every thing remained in the same state as when he last addressed them. He told them that he thought Mr. Cart wright had a fair reason for continuing the poll, and he thought so still. Mr. CARTWRIGIIT said he was aware the county was nearly exhausted. It was the question that was now under discussion, and excited so much interest, which formed the main reason for his continuing the contest. Another reason was the number of votes still under discussion in the assessor's booth, but he would admit that. the latter alone would not be enough to justify him in protracting !rie contest. He thought at present he was not continuing It vexatiously. He considered himself justified in con tinuing it for the present, but his conduct would be guided by circumstances as they arose. Sir C. KNIGISTLEY said it was impossible to say their conduct was factious, for th e ir c o uld not be anything wrong in endeavouring to obtain for individuals a right they had never before enjoyed. He should always reflect with pleasure on having entered on this contest, for it had afforded him an opportunity of opposing a measure which he considered dangerous, and of giving expression to the opinion of the respectable and independent portion of the county. The Hon. Mr. WENTWORTH said he found it extremely difficult to muster up anything new to address them with. He would just advert to the question now under discussion as to the right of the freemen to vote. Suppose the right admitted, they might be opposed to Reform ; but, Judging from the town election, he should say he thought they were not. But, even if they were, there were other tow ns in the county whose freemen would be able to claim a similar privilege, and whose votes he felt satisfied would be for Reform. His firm conviction was that the contest !vas in reality over, and its effect had been to establish even to that county the great cause of Reform.

We annex a letter which has been addressed by the Brazilian Consul-General to the Secretary o f Lloyd's, in explanation of the charges on shipping made in his office. This appears to refer to the complaints of the merchants trading with that em pire, and to be meant to show that certain charges have been made without the sanction of the Consul. We are not aware, however, whether the merchants will not consider the charges actually sanctioned as too heavy. Having published Lord P.dmerston's communication to Mr. Hammond on the subject, the Consul's letter is, of course, also entitled to a hearing : " Brazilian Consulate-General, 75, Old Broad street, London, May 19. " Stet,—lt having been represented to me that agents or brokers fur vessels clearing tart to the ports of the Bra zilian empire have for some time past, and still continue to charge shippers at the rate of ss. and Sc. 6d. per cocket as consulage paid at this office, where no such con sulage has even been charged, I think it indispensable to declare, that from the beginning of the establishment of Brazilian Consulates in this United Kingdom to the 28th of February, 1830, the fee established by his Imperial Brazilian Majesty of 4s. 6d. per cocket was substituted by a new one of certain sums, according to the class of ves sels with cargoes, in new tables, of which every broker or agent that applied was allowed a copy ; and, moreover, one has been and is always hung up in the most conspi cuous part of this office; that according to this table of fees, the last ship that cleared at this office was on the 11th instant, the British vessel Meanwell, Captain John Michel Morgan, fur Rio Janeiro, with 85 ccckets and 94 hills of lading, and the cargo, "12,730 18 2, as declared in 69 cockets of British goods. " 2,119 1 10, being the estimated value of 16 sockets --- of foreign goods in bond. " £14,850 0 0 together, and which vessel being of the burden of 274 tons, paid (in CA nformity to the orders of his Imperial Brazilian Majesty, of the 12th of June, 1830), for consulage, Si. Bs. 9d., and the other usual fees of 13s. 6d. for a bill of health ; 6s. 9d., Captain's affidavit to the manifest, which appertaining alone to the ship, clearly makes out the only charge for consulage, if provata be made out, per cocket of 25., or bill of lading Is. 10d., to each shipper, and not bs. 6d., as charged by brokers to the parties ; and that orders have been given at this office that after the clearing of all future vessels to make any shipper, who may apply, acquainted with similar parti culars to those above, so that they may be informed of the exact consul :ge paid, which I request you will cause to be made generally known, and particularly to the shippers and merchants to Brazil.

EPSOM RACES.-FRIDAr. -- - In almost every respect the races yesterday were inferior to the " Derby day ;" the Oaks, although a Stakes of great value and importance, having fewer attractions to sporting men than its predecessor of Thursday ; nor was the company either so numerous or so fashionable. The appearance of the Downs, however, did not induce au opinion that there was any falling off, as compared with the last day of former meetings, nor his the support given to the races generally borne out the belief entertained by us on Monday, that they would prove infinitely less at tractive than formerly. In one point, the difference be tween the Thursday and Friday is in favour of the latter, viz. the journey home, which on the former is so pregnant with danger from the ignorance of some, and the eagerness of others, that those who escape without accident, ought to consider themselves very lucky. The scene on the re turn from the races on Thursday, in many parts of the road, was frightful. We witnessed eight or ten casualties, every one of them occasioned by obstinacy or drunkenness: providentially the mischief was confined to broken vehicles, with one or two exceptions, and these not of a nature to threaten any serious consequences. The confusion and delay that naturally arise at Ewell, from the meeting of the two roads, was, as usual, aggravated by the toll-takers, who, in their anxiety to make everybody pay twice, threw a-ide every thing like civility or moderation. In our former notices of the Grand Stand, we omitted to state that the arrangements of refreshments, &c. by Mr. Top ham, of Richmond, were in a stele of elegance and com fort suitable to the magnificence of the building and the respectability of its visitors. Budd's admirable quadrille band from Richmond was stationed in the Long-room, to contribute to the amusement of the company. In the account of the Derby we should have stated that Colwick, who was so long looked upon as one of the most dangerous horses in the field, was the last in the race, Roadster last but one, Surprise just before him, and a long chasm between these three and those in advance of them. That Roadster shooed be so shamefully beaten, we are not in the least surprised, for nothing else could have been expected from his Newmarket running, even with Robinson on his back . ; but that the renowned Chifney should be where he was, cruelly did "surprise" us. How did they take the measure of their horses? We can not make up our minds to believe that Colwick was " fit ; his running was too strongly contrasted with what he did at Newmarket last year. The most remarkable part of the race, however, was, that it should be won by the little Spaniel, who, in all his performances at Newmarket, save one, proved himself a very moderate nag; after this, who will talk of public running as a guide to the Derby ? As we said in our first notice of this race, nothing but the honesty and goodness of the Whalebone stock, added to the manner in which the race was run, can account for so unlooked for a result. It is said that Lord Lowther did not back him, and that he wins only the stakes ; 3000/. however, will prove a tolerable edge to electioneering expenses. As everything and everybody is bound now-a-days to take one side of the question, we take leave to state that Spaniel is an Anti-Reformer, and that we have strong reasons to suspect that his triumph will not go beyond the Derby ; there will be a large majority against him at Newmarket. His trainer (Rogers) wins two or three thousands by him ; and as he, too, is an Anti-Reformer, it is not improbable that he will subscribe liberally to the Fund. The Black Daphne colt did not start for the Derby, as mentioned by us yesterday ; the Chifneys ran only the Pigmy colt and the Surprise filly, as stated in our account of the horses not placed. We were led into the error by the cards. Our account of the fashionables present yesterday must necessarily be short. We observed the Dukes of Grafton and Rutland, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Mar quises of Tavistock, Graham, Cleveland, Worcester ; E irl and Countess Chesterfield; Earls Verulam, Jersey, Orford, Uxbridge, Southampton, Mountcharles, Derby, Wilton, Errol ; Lords G. Bentinek, James Fitzroy, John Fitzroy, T. Cecil, Forrester, Ranelagh, &c. ; Sirs V. Cotton, C. Coote, M. Wood, L. Glyn ; Colonels Anson, Russell, Udney, F. Fitzclarence, Peel, Cosby, Wilson; Captains Bulkeley, Hunter, Byng, Grant, F. Berkeley, &c. &c. ; with many other gentlemen, whose names we mentioned in our account yesterday. . . The weather, although somewhat gloomy, was favour able. As was the case with the Derby, everything in the shape of interest was engrossed by the Oaks, for which twenty-one horses started, being the greatest number ever known. About twenty minutes before three they got to the pest in good order, and went off at the first start. The following are the particulars : The Oaks Stakes of 50 sous. each, h. ft. ; for three year old fillies. The other conditions the same as for the Derby. Derby Course. Eighty-six subs.

Another triumph for the fielders, although not quite so surprising as the Derby ; for all who saw Oxygen run for the thousand guineas stakes agree that it was not her pro per running, and that if the pace had been better she would have won. A reference to our accounts of New market First Spring Meeting will show that we advocated this opinion. Betting at starting, 6 to 4 agst Circassian ; 12 to I DO Oxygen; S to 1 agst Delight; 13 to 1 agst Ales; 13 to 1 Lioness ; 16 to 1 agst Lord Lowther's ; 20 to 1 agst Streamlet, and very high agst any other. Delight made the running, closely followed by Oxygen, and behind her Circassian, Alea, Alin Catton filly, and the others in good places. They maintained this order of running round Tattenham Corner, where several were tailed a ff, At this part of the race Miss Catton came mote in front, Lord -Lowther's filly at the same time getting up to the leading horses. From this point the contest was entirely between Delight, Oxygen, Miss Catton, Circassian, and Lord Lowther's, and it became Delight Flov t ( I.i i nt fl nh i ie g n . gfe wij She aa rt:osn neckot continued u go e rn d olty t i to keep severe till within about a distance and a half from home, when Lowther s. was very severe between Oxygen and well in front till about a hundred yards from home, and Alias Circassian was the next to decline, and then gave way. then Lord that not without some persuasion, just at the winning post • a. inclined to swerve, not that we think her chance seeming t he *race was at all affected by it.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two labouring men were brought before Alder man COPELAND, who sat, for the LORI) MAYOR, under the following circumstances : John Woodgate, a watchman of Vintry Ward, stated that on the morning of the 25th of March, between twelve and one o'clock, as he was leaving the watch-house, he heard a man moaning at a distance from him, as if in great.misery. The man, whose name was Samuel Newton, said to wit ness, that he lodged at the Swan public-house, at the corner of Thames -street; and he appeared without shoes, and wished to go or to be taken to the watch-house. Witness told him that he ought to be at his lodgings, to which he replied, " I have been at the Swan ; and if I had stayed I should have been murdered." Witness took him to the watch-house, and perceived that he had a red mark in front of his throat, and that he was in a very bad state. Witness proceeded to the Swan public house, but found all quiet; both doors were closed, and no light was to be seen in the house. The unfortunate man had been taken from the watch house to the hospital, and lingered until Thursday last, when he died. A certificate had been re ceived, announcing that the deceased had died of a disease of the spine, and witness received orders to take the two prisoners into custody. Alderman COPELAND—Did th e mark on the neck appear to have been occasioned by pressure, or did blood flow from it ? Witness ---I SAW no blood, and the red mark seemed to me to have been caused by pressure upon the throat. Marchant, one of the inspectors of the police, stated that as he was going his rounds between twelve and one on the morning specified, he met a patrol, who told him there was a madman in the watch house, and wished him to go and look at the tut happy person. Witness went in and saw the deceased on a bench with his head upon his hand, and ques tioned him. The deceased spoke thick, and blood issued from his nose and mouth while he said that somebody had taken him by the throat, and fixed his thumb-nail into his throat. Witness desired that care should be taken of the poor man. As soon as the Deputy of the Ward heard that the man had died, he sent to Mr. Cope, the Marshal, who directed that, as the deceased complained of having been ill-treated in the Swan public-house, two of his fellow-lodgers should be taken into custody. To a question from Alderman COPELAND, Wood gate, the watchman, replied that the wound or mark in the neck (of which no accurate description was given) might have been made with a needle. Marchant—The deceased told me he should have been murdered if he had stayed at the Swan public house. One of the prisoners said that the deceased went up stairs tipsy on the night alluded to, and fell down again; and that he (prisoner) pulled him up and put him to bed. The deceased might have sus tained an injury from the fall. William Cordry, landlord of the White Swan, Upper Thames-street, stated that the deceased, who lodged at his house, returned home tipsy on the night in question, and on going up to bed tumbled down. Witness said " That's Sam that's fell ;" and they found him lying on the bottom of the first flight of stairs. Alderman COPELAND—Did he get tipsy at your house ? Witness—No; he came in quite tipsy. I helped him up, and we laid him on his bed, and left him there. All in the house were in bed by half past eleven. At half-past twelve I was called up, and the watchman told me that a man bad been murdered in the house. Alderman COPELAND—Ho ve did it happen that he got out of your house aft erwards ? Witness—The door goes with a spring lock, and there are no bolts to it. When he went out he shut it after him. I have no other way of accounting for it. I know these prisoners to be hard-working men ; one of them is a pensioner, as the deceased was, and they slept together. Alderman COPELAND—When had the deceased received his pension last ? A gentleman replied that it had been paid a few days before. The ALDERMAN, who considered the case a very singular one, said he felt it to be his duty to remand the prisoners. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday a young fellow, having the appearance of a servant out of place, who was charged by the name of James Brown, but whose proper name ap pears to be Egan, was brought up before Mr. GRIT , . FITII on a charge of stealing a silver watch, the pro per:), of Mrs. Owen, No. 3, Upper Dorset-street, Portman-square. Maria Foster, a pretty black-eyed brunette, stated that she resided with her aunt, Mrs. Owen, and about three months ago became acquainted with the prisoner. He was very particular in his at'entions to her, lavish in his praise of her sparkling eyes, re presented himself as a bachelor heartily tired of " single blessedness," and requested to be introduced to her friends. Miss Foster consented to introduce him—the introduction took place in due form, and Mr. Brown continued to visit the brunette at N 0.3, Upper Dorset-street, as her declared lover, and hus band in expectancy. His " particular" attest dons were uninterrupted for about two months, and on Monday evening, the 18th of April last, he called about five o'clock, was shown into the front parlour, and left alone with Maria, by Mrs. Owen, who recollected her own days of courtship, and knew how precious a tete-a-tete is on such occa sions. He proposed to Maria to accompany him to Saint John's Wood, where he was going for some music by order of his master son of Lord Dundas, whose valet he represented himself to be; and she left the room for a moment to get ready. They set out, arid when they reached the end of Lisson Grove he requested her to wait for him a few minutes until he got the muse. Maria waited a full hour by common time, but an age by her reckoning, and at length, despair ing of his return, and supposing that something un avoidable detained him, she wended her way back to Upper Dorset -street, calculating upon seeing him with certainty on the Wednesday evening following, when, according to previous arrangement, lie was to take her-to the play; but from that hour she had seen nothing of her lover until she saw him at the bar of this eflice. Mrs. Owen stated that her husband is a butler in a gentleman's family. She looked upon the prisoner as her niece's lover and future husband, and raceived him as such. When he called on the evening last named, a silver watch belonging to her was laid upon the mantel-piece in the front parlour, and when the prisoner and her niece quitted the apartment she immediately missed the watch. She supposed her niece had taken it out with her, but when she returned she declared she knew nothing of it. Suspicion naturally fell upon the prisoner, more especially as he never again made his appearance, and she was unable to trace any thing of him where he said he lived as valet. She men tioned the circumstance to Mr. Hobbs, a friend of hers, who had seen the prisoner at her house, and, as he knew his person, she requested him to keep a look-out for him, and give him into custody the fir,t time he saw him. Mr. William Hobbs stated, that while passing through Oxford-market, on the 17th instant, be met the prisoner, and immediately charged him with stealing the watch. The prisoner requested him to come along with him, and h e would make it all right. Mr. Ifobbs assented—but, before they had proceeded half a dozen steps, the prisoner star ed off at his fullest speed. Mr. Hobbs pur sued him as fast as he could, and, at the corner of George's -street, got within reazli of his coat-tails, one of which he seined, but the prisoner suffered himself to be denuded of his coat-tail,and pursued his course tip George's-street, followed by NR. Hobbs, with the coat-tail in his hand, At length he ran into No. 27, where lig took shelter in a room, which turned nut to be his own lodging; Mr. Hobbs was Close at his heels, and the prisoner requested him to give him the coat-tail, as the pocket contained some duplicates which wnuld arrange mquers t Mr, Hobbs gave it, and presently saw som fg lii ng pass fro it t prisoner to his wife. - • - " His wife !" exclaimed Mr. GRIFF,FrII. `- vo don't mean to say the prisCofer nn as vied ?" "He is married, imieed, • - Hob!) , ; " his wife and two children are office." \ • 4 Mr. GRIFFITH—Did you obtain' any -- triri4-ort. property 9 . Mr. Hobbs—None whatever. - / - e - i?ted in a constable, by whom the prisoner was searc:ted; hut no duplicate or trace of the watch could be discovered. Mr. GRIFFITH—I think it was foi tunate for the young woman that the prisoner hadl . an oppor.unity of stealing something before Ile carr c 1 his p rrti cular" attentions any further. Well, Mr. Brown, your affectioa for Mrs. Owen's household seems not to have been confined to her niece—what have you to say to the charge ? " Three-fourths of the evidence is false," re joined the prisoner; " the first place the com plainant says I was in her front parlour; now, Sir, she lives on the first floor, and yen know there can be no parlour on that floor. In the next place she says, I called at five; now, S:r, it was just five and -twenty minutes past four when I called there that day. In the third"— " These are nice points," said Mr. GRIFFITH, and would recommend you to keep them for the Jury. No doubt they will have their due weight with the Court." The prisoner was then fully committel for trial. A respectable man, living in the neighbourhocd of the office, came to ask the Magistrates' advice under the following circumstances : Being unable to get his rent from an Irish tenant of his, he took in a broker, and laid a distress. The ! 4ocrl woman of the room was in bed, eroaning heavily ; and, asking the cause, lie was told she was in labour. From motives of delicacy he declined removing any thing, and, contenting himself with taking an inventory, went away. An hour, how ever, had not elapsed before every article in the room was removed by the good woman, for whose accouchement he felt so much delicacy, and which was a mere ruse. The Magistrate said he was unable to assist him. A DASHING SWINDLER AT BRIGHTON. Brighton has been lately visited by one of those impudent swindlers who often carry everything be fore them at the watering place?, by stringing to gether lies about their condition in life, which 'or dinary means will often fail in detecting. The ad venturer alluded to on this occasion exercised his in genuity so dexterously as to fix himself in an exten sive and elegant acquaintance in the town. He is an EllglikohM in, but represented himself as a Colonel in the Russian service, come here to arrange some family affairs, thrown into confusion by the death of an old uncle, who died intestate. He was full of Russian anecdote, boasted of an intimacy with the Duke of Devonshire, whom he described as a very liberal good fellow, to whom the British Government were under great obligations for the early informa tion he was in the habit of communicating an Rus sian affairs, facilities being afforded to him by his intimacy NI ith Count Diebitsch. Nobody doubted the • veracity of the Colonel, until he thought proper to give a finishing stroke to his importance by the intro duction of a Polish Princess, and then his fortune sod denly gave way, and his elegant associates found they were the dupes of a regular " victimiser?' As he progressed on the good opinions of those whose circle he graced, he at one time threw a par;y of Reformers into dismay by telling them that lus friend, Lord John Russell, with whom he had dined that day at Lord Egremont's, had assured him confidentially that the Bill would be mulled in the Lords —an in timation with which he was not a little pleased, as although lie loved a little Reform to prevent the bawling of the multitude, he did not like to see pro perty, which ought to be as sacred as the grave, divided amongst a myriad of vulgar robbers. After having excited consternation of this kind, be joined a whist party, and astonished them in another way. In the management of the cards consisted his pecu liar excellence. He had a most graceful way of shuffling, which he called combing, and he won with so kind and-obliging an air, that even those who were losing took pleasure in seeing him comb. When engaged in this recreation, as he calfel it, he never spoke a word ; and when asked the reason in private, he said, " No, no, I never speak when I play. I speak a little when I comb; but I never speak when I play. I t h en make the cards speak for themselves., After whist it was usual with him to propose a new round game called " Fright," in which he had extraordinary luck, for he invariably struck terror into his antagonists, and never lef, them till he combed them into mere appa ritions. At last this Polish Princess made her appearance at Brighton, and put up at one of the most fashionable hotels, where she assumed a title hard enough to cause a lock jaw in pronouncing; but she was not there long when she was recog nised as an obliging acquaintance from the romantic neighbourhood of Hull. Her Serene Highness's bill was soon made out, and she departed in the Red Rover coach for town. This:led to the inquiry by which the Colonel was at once found to be a Lon don victimiser, and to have been formerly a lock smith in the neighbourhood of Smithfield. He bolted from Brighton after having obtained, amongst other valuable things, a splendid set of teeth and gold palate for his Princess, who had unfortunately had occasion for such articles, in consequence of a cold caught in her native country, in her alarm at the aggression of the Russian troops. THE LATE LORD AND LADY WALSING HA3I.—(From a Correspondent )—The property destroyed iu the late conflagration (exclusive of the building) is estimated at 7,0001. The jewellery of her Ladyship had been some time previously deposited at a banker's. The building was insured in the Sun Fire Office at 4,6001., and the furniture, pictures, &c. at 6,5001.—in the whole 11,1001. The life of Lord WA LSINGIIAM and that of his Lady were also insured for 10,000/. When his Lord ship's body was discovered by PENA:II, the foreman of the Sun Office, the only part that remained entire was his Lordship's heart and a small portion of the upper part of the fate. Archdeacon (now Lord) WALSINGIIAM, takes n arly the whole of the property left by the deceas.A. A IfldfCrOus scene occurred on Thursday at Epsom, In the line of vehicles of all descriptions which. (law up in the vicinity of the grand stand, a stage-coach, full inside and outside, was also amongst the number. A few minutes previously to the starting of the horses for the Derby stakes, a young man, dressed out in the very pink of fashion, desirous of viewing the race from an emi nence, endeavoured to get on the roof of the stage, an at tempt which was resisted by a farmer, awl a fat dame, his wife, who were outside passengers, and who, if the gentleman had succeeded in his attempt, would have been rendered extremely uncomfortable. The intruder, although strongly advised to desist, made the most vigorous exer tions to obtain a footing on the roof, and in the scuffle, he struck the farmer a sharp blow on the nose, which made it bleed. The instant his wife saw the purple stream flowing from the prominent feature of her better half, she went to work in right earnest, and being a woman possessed not only of considerable strength, but also of some share: of pugilists:, science, she gave her husband's assailant such A teaser on the side of the lug, while he stood on the hind wheel, making efforts to raise himself still higher, as to stun bins for some moments.
