The town during last evening presented a most ani mated appearance, in consequence of its being the eve of the day of the nomination of the candidates. Mr. Ching, in the course of his canvass during the day, wore his colours (pink and blue), formed into a large rosette, on his breast, and in the evening the learned gentleman had a very large procession of his friends, in which he joined as they marched through the town. He subsequently addressed them in a very able speech. He had been accused, be said, of being a Tory ; he utterly disclaimed it ; and hurled the base lie back in the face of those who foully circulated it. He never in his life was a Tory, nor was he ever indebted to a Tory for anything—not even a guinea did he ever receive from one of them. He had sprung from the very dregs of the people, and was proud to say that he was one of the people. (Cheers. ) Captain Byng met his friends at the Sun Hotel, in the evening, who mustered very strongly. The gallant captain assured them that he felt confident of victory. APPEARANCE OF ANOTHER CANDIDATE. Scarcely had the bustling and speeching of the day concluded when the town was again thrown into a state of fresh excitement, and " A new candidate ! a new candidate ! hurrah !" and Lieutenant Walker, R. N., the gentleman who lately prosecuted the courtmartial against Captain Pigott, came rattling down the High street in a four-wheeled chaise, as the candidate in question. The gallant lieutenant, who was attended by some friends, and who really arrived " late in the field," drove to the Globe Hotel, where he instantly commenced distributing his address to the electors, with an abundant supply of copies of which he came ready furnished from London. The gallant lieutenant was soon waited upon by se veral respectable and influential persons in the town, who regretted his late appearance in the field, and as sured him that, had he come amongst them sooner, he should have had their support. He addressed a body of the electors in the evening, and was well received, his opinions having given gene ral satisfaction to his hearers. This being the day of nomination, the candidates, with their friends, appeared on the hustings at half past nine o'clock ; and soon afterwards Mr. Gooding came forward to propose the Right lion. Capt. Byng. Mr. Stevens seconded the nomination. Captain BYNG then presented himself, and was re ceived with cheering, on the cessation of which he ad dressed the electors in a spirited speech, in which, after referring to his past political conduct, he said that he would endeavour, should he be returned to Parlia ment, to rid the Church of all blots which had, in the course of time crept in to deface and disfigure it, and to have poor, industrious, and deserving curates better remunerated (Enthusiastic cheering), and to produce a fairer and more equitable distribution of salary be tween them and the higher classes of the clergy. (Renewed cheers.) He was averse, he continued, to septennial Parliaments, and wished them abridged ; but then he did not think that the country was yet prepared for the ballot. ( Hear, hear.) The gal lant captain, after some further remarks, in which he generally gave satisfaction to his constituents, al luded to the circumstance (which to him was highly flattering, and had made a deep impression on him) pf five old voters in the county of Middlesex, who had; voted for his uncle, one of the members for that county, having said to him, that though they knew little of him, still they knew he was a chip of the old block, and they would, therefore, vote for him. (Loud cheering.) The principles of his family he approved of—he had been brought up in those principles, and would always act on them, and in a manner for the good of their country. (Cheers.) Mr. WiciotAm then presented himself for the pur pose of proposing Mr. Ching. Mr. CHING then rose, and entered at great length into the arguments which he had already made use of in his various addresses to the electors. Dr. ELY, who is understood to be a man of stanch radical principles, seconded the nomination. Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, and no one appearing to propose Lieutenant Walker, the show of hands was taken, and the majo rity appearing to be in favour of Mr. Ching, a poll was demanded on behalf of Captain Byng, which was appointed to take place on Thursday. SLOVENLY LEGISLATION ; BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Members of Parliament are constantly complaining of the laborious nature of their public duties. They rise early and retire late to rest : they breakfast amidst a crowd of applicants for franks or votes ; hurry down to the house, and wait three hours in the hope of find ing an opportunity to present a few dozens of petitions —frequently coming away disappointed: then they have six or eight committees to attend, and perhaps their dinner to get, in the two hours which intervene between the morning and evening sittings : a long de bate on the Poor Law Bill, or some other less impor tant measure, occupies them till two or three o'clock the next morning ; and at last the jaded senator crawls up to his chamber au troisieme, and catches a few hours of slumber, broken by fancied cheers of the members and sonorous calls to "order" from the chair. No wonder, that after six or seven months of such a life as this, the really industrious and conscientious representative finds his health and spirits grievously impaired. But whose fault is it that a more rational system of conducting parliamentary business iS not adopted? The slovenly and wearisome practices ac cord well enough with the views of the Ministerial leader ; whose cue it is to get the supplies voted, and the Mutiny Bill passed, and to do as little as possible besides. But representatives of the people should not permit themselves, year after year, to be made the tools of any minister. Why they should pertinaciously adhere to old rules which are productive of vast per sonal discomfort to themselves, and constant grumbling among all their constituents whose business condemns them to haunt the purlieus of St. Stephen's, it is dif ficult to imagine. We need not repeit what we have so often stated in this journal, that the public interests suffer most ma terially by the parliamentary modes of doing business. If a master tailor or bricklayer were to order his jour neyman to handle the goose and the needle or the hod and the trowel at the same time, he would be looked upon as an ignorant idiot. But this is what the House of Commons is constantly doing. Sir Robert Peel stated, on Tuesday, that twelve committees were sit ting, and that he was a member of six of them, and he had other business to attend to in the house. M any other members are in the same situation as Sir Robert, as any one may discover by referring to our table of , " Impossible Attendance on Committees," published a short time before the assembling of the reformed I Parliament, in the delusive hope that some rational, methodical system of conducting business would be ' adopted by the freely-chosen representatives of the people. Nothing of the kind was attempted by those who had sufficient influence to bring about any change for , the better. On the contrary, they opposed all such efforts with dogged obstinacy. The consequences are n ow, apparent. Lord Althorp admits that the business of the house is in an unusually backward state ; and this, too, notwithstanding the speechmaking propen sities of members have been meritoriously restrained during the session,—for, with the exception of the repeal debate, the time of the house has-not been con sumed in unusually lengthened discussions. How long members of Parlia men t w ill persevere i n practices which, if applied to the ordinary business of life, would gain them the reputation of being fit only for Bedlam, it is impossible to ibretel. We have, however, observed symptoms of a growing feeling among their constituents, as far as relates to private bills, which sooner or later must break out in action. Every one is annoyed at the scandalous manner in which the committee business of the house is con ducted. Questions are decided by men who cannot by possibility have heard a tithe of the evidence upon them, but who are driven in by the attorneys and agents just at the time of division. Then, there is such dunning in the lobbies, such prompting in the committee-rooms, such manoeuvres for delaying or hurrying on the matter in question, with such frequent disclosures on the part of members of the profoundest ignorance, that almost every man of sense and proper feeling returns full of resentment from the House of Commons , after tAlsrileally melancholy exhibitions. Of one thing only Can the agent for and the parties interested in a bill be certain ; and that is, pro pudor that the points at issue will not be settled according to their real merits, but according to the supposed per sonal interest of the members of the committee or their connexions ; for in almost every instance there are a sufficient number of members who act upon selfish grounds, to overpower the really well-informed and conscientious few.— Spectator. [To the above the writer might have added the impropriety of allowing the Clerks of both Houses to continue to act as agents for Private Bills, by which nearly the whole of th e i r ti me i s genera lly occupied —a circumstance which must be apparent to every one having any knon ledge of the proceedings of the House. Mr. G ues t very laudably brought this subject before Parliament last Session, but no reform has as yet been effected in the matter.—Editor Su N.] SCHOOLS FOR THE POOR-LADY MARY FOX'S BAZAAR. An examination having taken place, about two years ago, into the condition of some populous districts of the parish of Kensington, it was thought highly desirable to establish an Infant Day and Working School, to be sup— ported partly by the payment of the parents of the children of the poor who required instruction, and partly by annual contributions and subscriptions. The school hav)ng been well attended, and productive of great and obvious advan tage, two others were afterwards established in the same parish on a similar plan. His Majesty, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Kent, kindly consented to patronise the schools and assist in their support, and liberal subscriptions were also made by the Dukes of Bedford, Norfolk, and Richmond, the Lord Chancellor, Lord and Lady Holland, and other persons distinguished as much by their benevolence as their intel ligence and rank. The funds, however, having proved in sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of fitting up and maintaining the schools, Lady Mary Fox kindly set to work, and prevailed on her friends to aid her. The pro duce of their united skill and industry was exposed for sale on Saturday, at Addison-road. The sale was attended by a very large number of person of distinction, and its pro duce exceeded 2001. Her Majesty and the Duchess of Gloucester were amongst the contributors, and there were nearly 500 visiters and purchasers, amongst whom we no ticed the following :—The Dukes of 4ussex, Bedford, and St. Albans ; Lords Lansdowne, Prudhoe, Morpeth, Kerry, John Russell, William ,Russell, Lilford, Erroll, Foley, Mulp,rave, and Seymour; the Duchesses of Bedford and St. Albans ; Ladies of Abercorn, Erroll, Holland, Lilford, Howe, Morley, Jersey, Seymour, Hardy, B. Bouverie, Fitz patricks, Selkirk, Douglases, E. Bulteel, A. Fitzclarence, E. Whitbread, Hon. Miss Fox, Hon. Mrs. Pellew, Hon. Mrs. and Miss Ponsonby, Hon. Mrs. Norton, Admiral Fleming and family, Mr. Spring Rice and family, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Vernon Smith, Col. Fox, Col. and Mrs. Web- ster, Mr. Caleott, Dr. Pye Smith, Dr. Fletcher, and Mr. George Bennett, the missionary traveller. The day was remarkably fine, and the various articles were exposed to sale, and recommended by Ladies Mary Fox, Erroll, Erskine, and Hay, the Misses Bagot and Beauclerk, and Mrs. Blackwood. We were delighted to witness such an exhibition of the industry, taste, and good feeling of some of the noblest and worthiest families in the country applied to a most praiseworthy and necessary object—viz., the in struction of the children of the poor, and the formation of good and industrious habits amongst those who had been too long neglected. We hope this excellent example will not be without its use, and that we may soon hear of simi larGrea t bondßritain of w i o n ul e d ve7 fonn par a ishof stronger union between the various classes of which society is com andex Ireland. ertion s be N in o g th m in a g fis com posed, and nothing, surely, can be' better than:to show by our practice that we do not think it degrading to labour for our own support, or, what is still better, to assist those who stand in need of instruction. The Queen furnished some articles of her own manufacture, as did several ladies of high rank. RESTORATION of the LADYE CHAPEL. That splendid specimen of ancient ecclesiastical architecture, the Ladye Chapel, St. Saviour's, South wark, having been rescued from the total demolition with which it was threatened by the London-bridge committee, and completely restored and beautified, a public meeting was held in the chapel on Saturday to receive the report of the committee under whose di rections that object was effected, and to consider the means by which the balance of expense unavoidably incurred might be liquidated. The meeting was numerously and respectably at tended. Mr. BRISCOE opened the business of the meeting by proposing that the Bishop of Winchester be respect fully requested to preside on the occasion. ( Applause. ) The hon. gentleman expressed his regret that his own engagements elsewhere prevented him from remain ing, but having had the honour of laying the first stone of the beautiful structure in which he had now the pleasure to address the meeting, and having subse quently assisted the committee in obtaining the pre sent•opening to the building, he would not suffer the opportunity to pass without giving expression to the heartfelt satisfaction with which he beheld the com pletion of the highly interesting object which they had all assisted in promoting. He owned he felt proud in having been himself in some degree instrumental in rescuing from destruction so interesting a monument of the taste and piety of bur forefathers, and he was quite sure that all who were present would join him in congratulating the inhabitants of the parish of St. Sa viour, Southwark, on witnessing the final and success ful result of the arduous struggle in which they had been engaged ( Applause.) The hon. gentleman having again expressed his cordial satisfaction on be holding the restoration of the building, soon after re-' tired to attend his duties in the House of Commons. The Bishop of WINCHESTER having taken the chair, assured the meeting that he would not detain them long by any prefatory observations, but he should ill s a ti s fy his own feelings if he did not offer a few words on this most gratifying and highly interesting subject. He cordially concurred in what had fallen from his hon. friend one of the members for the county, who con gratulated the parish of St. Saviour on the restoration of this splendid relic of ancient taste and piety ; but he could not help considering that it was a subject of congratulation to the country generally, and more especially to every friend of religion, architecture, and science, to restore as it were to the light of day, and to something like its former splendour, one of the noblest monuments of taste, piety, and learning, of which this country could boast. ( Applause.) For himself, he owned he felt in some degree surprised that he should that day be called upon to preside at a meeting held under the roof of this beautifully reno vated edifice. Few, indeed, would have thought of such a result two years and a half ago, when lie, as diocesan, was called upon to interpose with a view to prevent the total destruction of so interesting a memo rial of the taste and piety of former ages. He felt on that occasion, as he felt now, that nothing but the strongest necessity ought to sanction the demolition of a building which had survived the wreck of time for nearly 600 years, and had been so long attached to a church which was erected by a predecessor of his own. When he recollected, too, that it contained beneath its walls the remains of Bishop Andrewes, a man so eminently distinguished for virtue, .piety, and learning, he felt he owned a strong interest in the pre servation of the building, added to which he considered that he owed it to the parish of St. Saviour to protect from destruction one of its most beautiful ornaments, and to which so many interesting associations were at tached. With these feelings he considered, that as the building was not wanted for public purposes, it was his duty to refuse his consent to its demolition, and he was , hapfly tcrfilkd, on referring to the subscrip tion list, that his own feeling for the preservation and restoration of the Ladye Chapel was coincident with that of a liberal and enlightened public. ( Applause.) To those who had so nobly contributed to that list he begged to tender his most hearty thanks ; but there was one entry there which he owned afforded him more satisfaction than all the rest. He alluded to a donation of 51. " being sundries made up by poor parishioners." When he found that the poor inhabi tants of the parish had thus contributed to such an object from their scanty resources, he should have felt a pain which he could not describe if he had had it not in his power to prevent the accomplishment of an object which, if effected, would have done in jury to the feelings of those persons. (Hear, hear. ) The efforts of the public press in forwarding the object which the meeting had in view were beyond all praise ; and for the zealous co-operation of per sons who were not connected with the parish he begged to rettten his most cordial and hearty thanks. He begged to acknowledge in particular the great services which Mr. Saunders had rendered, for to his unwearied exertions might fairly be attributed the success which had attended the good and holy cause. ( Hear, hear.) There was one point more to which he could not help adverting. In speaking of the benefits which the restoration of this building would accomplish, he could not but feel that the stand which had been made here to preirent the destruction of this edifice would act as an example to resist simi lar attempts which were making elsewhere for the re moval, as it were, of all our ancient land-marks, and to level to the ground whatever seemed to stand in the way of some inferior and pecuniary consideration. ( Hear, hear.) He alluded to a proposition which had been made for the removal of some of the city churches, and in the same spirit he had heard it was proposed to lay Vandal hands on that beautiful structure through which he passed on his way to the meeting,—he meant that ancient and well-known erection named Temple-bar, which he had heard it was intended to remove. ( Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, that such a proposition would be met by the same feeling which had manifested itself in this parish, and that a similar result would attend it. ( Applause.) The right rev. prelate, after alluding to the restoration of the abbey of St. Alban's, which was owing, he consi dered, to the strong feeling evinced in favour of the Ladye Chapel, concluded by returning his grateful thank s to the meeting, and to all those who had as sisted in making the church of St. Saviour's, once more the object of admiration to the country. ( Applause.) The report of the committee was then read. It was very voluminous, and embodied the whole of the pro ceedings which had taken place to effect the restora tion of the Ladye Chapel. The work commenced on the 28th of July, 1832, and was concluded on the sth of June, 1.834 r at an expense of 3,6721., being 1,1261. more than the subscriptions amounted to ; but the committee hoped that the liberality of the public would liquidate the balance. . _ Lord ARDEN, in proposing that the report be re ceived and approved of, expressed his entire satisfac tion on witnessing the complete restoration of the building. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. J. WooLEY, was unanimously agreed to. ➢Zr. Riciimws, M. P., proposed the second resolu tion. The Rev. Dr. KENNY, rector of St. Olave's, se conded the resolution, which was agreed to unani mously, as were all the rest that followed. _ . Mr: W. PAYNTER, in proposing the third resolution, observed that the expenses were not wholly confined to the restoration of the building, as a large sum had been unavoidably expended in making an opening to it ; and, as it was necessary to apply to Parliament to effect that object, it might easily be conceived that the expenses had exceeded the amount originally in tended. The chief interest attached to the Ladye Chapel was owing, not so much perhaps to the beauty of its architecture as to the recollections it called forth. In these consisted its principal attrac tions, and in viewing our ancient edifices it was im possible not to recollect the names and deeds with which they were associated, and the impressions of distant times would thus arise to the minds of the be holders. That great man, Dr. Johnson, once ob served that he could not envy the being whose pulse would not beat quicker on entering the pass of Ther mopylw, or whose blood would not feel warmer in the sacred cause of liberty on the field of Marathon. ( Applause.) He rejoiced to find that a feeling ex isted in the public to preserve those early relics of Gothic architecture which were scattered throughout the country, and he hoped to see it manifested on all occasions similar to the present. ( Hear, hear.) The resolution was seconded by the Rev. Dr. Rus sell, rector of St. Botolph. Mr. S. TAYLOR moved the 4th resolution, and xi gratulated the meeting on the successful struggle which had been made to preserve so magnificent a relic of the genius, learning, and piety of other days. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. Dr. FAN COURT, who stated that he had been a resident in the parish for 35 years, and had left the dying bed of a beloved wife to assist at the meeting. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, of the Common Council, proposed the 6th resolution, and after adverting to the great exertions of Mr. Saunders in restorin the build ing, hoped that as it was originally erected. by Roman Catholics, as most of our ancient religious edifices were, a feeling of good-will and Christian charity would be preserved between the two religions, and that the restoration of buildings like the present would tend to cement it. He was sorry, as a member of the corporation of London, that any impediment had been thrown in the way of restoring this beautiful building, and he promised to use his influence with that body to induce them to subscribe something towards liquidat ing the balance which remained to be collected. The resolution which moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Saunders was then agreed to. Mr. SAUNDERS returned thanks, observing, that the only motive by which he was influenced was the love which he bore his country, and the desire which he felt that her ancient religious institutions should be rescued from the destroying hand of time. He hoped to see the established religion maintained by the wise and good, and that their efforts would not be wanted when they were most needed. He was gratified in being enabled to tell the meeting, that in forwarding .the interesting object which they had all at heart, our Dissenting brethren of almost every persuasion had held out the right hand of fellowship to him, and had contributed to support the undertaking by every means in their power. ( Hear, hear). The remaining resolutions were then put together, and passed unanimously, and the cordial and unanimous thanks of the meeting having been voted to the Right Rev. Prelate in the chair, who briefly expressed his acknowledgments, the meeting separated, after sub scriptions to the amount of 3001. were announced. THE COAL TRADE.—Deputations of Ship owners of North and South Shields and Sunderland attended, by invitation, a general meeting of the coalowners at the Coal Trade Office, Newcastle, on Tuesday last, when resolutions were passed, with a view to the regulation and improvement of the coal trade, which has for some time past been in a most unsatisfactory state. The outports are likely to co operate, and it is to be hoped that by these united endeavours this important interest will be put into its former prosperous condition, in which the entire com munity of this district is so deeply concerned.—New castle Journal. On Saturday, as Seales's stage-coach was returning, at a moderate pace, from the races, with nine outside passengers and one inside, the vehicle was upset in turning the corner of Frog-lane, near Hampton-court. The accident arose from the break ing of the splinter-bar. The whole of the outside passengers were thrown with much violence in the road, and one young lady was so seriously hurt as to render her recovery doubtful. Five others were also seriously injured, but not thought dangerously so. ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT THE DARTFORD POWDER MILLS.—About a quarter before one o'clock on Friday afternoon, the inhabitants of Dartford and its neighbourhood were thrown into a state of gfeat alarm, by a violent explosion, which was soon ascer tained to have taken place at the powder mills. Men, women, and children, were, in an instant, seen running from all directions towards the seat of the catastrophe, each family fearing they had lost a relative. It was at first reported that two men were killed—then that none had pesished, but that several were dangerously injured. Ofn the arrival of the medical gentlemen at the spot, it was ascertained that no lives were lost, but that three pers o ns were s li g htly woun d e d by being struck with pieces of the building, and one man named Bonnet, dreadfully burnt—his clothes having taken fire, which was extinguished by one of his fellow-work men throwing buckets of water over him. The fol lowing are the particulars of the accident :—During the hour appropriated for dinner (from twelve till one) several of the workmen were amusing themselves in the meadow where the steam-engine mills are situated, when one of th e men struc k the ball they were playing with, which was covered over with netting, within which, no doubt, some gravel and dirt had collected, directly into the mill. It rolled under one of the stones (weighing five tons) and so much friction was produced that about 601bs. weight of powder exploded just as Bonnet was entering the mill after the ball, which was afterwards found compressed nearly flat. Had the wind been in a contrary direction, two or three other mills must have exploded in succession. The materials in the mill which has exploded being only what are termed " green charge," it - rarely happens that any lives are lost in case of alt explosion'; as the men have only to go into the mill (to what is t aired " Wet down") once in about every three hours, not being obliged to be continually present as in the press and corning houses.

Sir Robert Peel had a dinner party on Monday at his residence in Privy-gardens, but owing to the extended debate in the house the right hon. baronet was unable to join his guests. The Earl of Malmesbury, who was to have been of the party, was also prevented being present by the debate in the Lords. The Lord Primate of Ireland (Lord John Beresford, Archbishop of Armagh) has subscribed 8,000/. ! to the restoration of the ancient Cathedral of Armagh, the foundation stone of which was laid by the very rev. the dean on the 21st ult. The vast superstructure of the venerable tower, weighing 4,000' tons, is to be supported during the relaying the found-' ation of the piers, without removing a single stone from the upper part of this immense tower, by means of some very ingenious mechanism invented by L. N. Cottingham, Esq., the architect. Mr. Henry Pownall, of Russell-square, who has announced himself as the church and state candi date for Finsbury, at a meeting of his friends at the White Hart, Holborn, on Monday, declared that he was decidedly opposed to the separation of church and state. He should refuse to make any pledge as to his future conduct, and if returned to Parliament, he would go there free and unshackled, and allowed to exercise his judgment as he might think proper. The polling will take place on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, the day on which the Bill for the Removal of Jewish Disabilities was thrown out by the Lords, the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer dined with Mr. Roths child.

It is worthy of notice that no Catholic peer voted against the bill. The newly married lady of the hon. and gal lant member for Westminster, Colonel Evans, is said to possess an unincumbered income of 4,000/. per an num, with an elegant mansion in Bryanston-square. The lady was a widow with three or four children. EXPORT DUTY ON COALS.—The follow ingis a copy of a letter received on Sunday last by the ' Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of this town, from Sir M. W. Ridley, on the subject of the export duty on coals : " 10, Carlton House-terrace, June 14, 1834. " Sir,—A report was in circulation yesterday that Lord Althorp had decided on not taking off the export duty on coals. In consequence I waited on him to ask if he' had come to any decision. He replied cer tainly not, and that the question remained as before. " Newcastle Journal. MARY SLATER.—The case of the poor woman Slater is in the recollection of most of our readers—she was found guilty of cutting, with intent to murder, a woman of the name of Moriarty. So strong was the evidence against her, that the jury hesitated not a moment to find her guilty. Se n t ence of death was passed, and she was left to his Majesty's mercy. Circumstances, however, arose, which led to an inquiry ; Lord Melbourne was applied to, and in formation was procured, proving her entire innocence. Yesterday his Lordship was pleased to communicate to her friends, who have exerted themselves in he ehalf, that he felt himself warranted n recommending I.er to his Majesty for a free pardon.

Office, 170, Strand. Orders received by all newsagents. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—An extraordinary circumstance occurred in Hyde-park between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on Saturn slay night. It appears that a police constable be longing to the T division, whose duty it is to watch the back of some premises in Hyde-park, near the Knightsbridge Barracks, observed a man approaching whose throat was bleeding copiously from a wound. In reply to an inquiry the man stated that he had not done the deed himself, but that on his returning through the park, at the baci: of the receiving -house, near the Serpentine River, he was met by a man and woman, ho knocked him down, and afterwards attempted to murder him by cutting his throat ; he succeeded, how ,-ver, in making his escape from them. The police constable immediately removed the unfortunate man to St. George's Hospital, where he remains in a pre carious stated His statement is not believed. On his recovery the circumstance wilt be investigated. The opinion of the surgeons is- that the unfortunate man committed the act himself. MELANctioLY ACCUANT. A melan choly accident occurred on the river Thames on Sun day morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, by which two persons, father and daughter, lost their hires. It appeared that about ten o'clock the party in question, a man, his wife, and daughter, and a son, whose names have not been ascertained, took a boat and proceeded up the river towards Battersea Bridge. When they got opposite Honey and Archer's boat house, the wherry in which they were came in contact with a four-oared cutter With such violence that the head of the wherry was raised completely out of the water, and she filled immeciiate!v at the stern. The whole party were, of course, thrown into the ricer; and the daughter clung tightly to her ..ether, and pre vented him from making any exertion to :Nye himself. Immediate assistance was rendered from t:le shore, and the mother and the son were saved ; but in the interim the unfortunate man and his daughter had slink to rise no more. The bodies were dragged for all day on Sunday, but they have not yet been found. Saturday morning, about half-past six o'clock, a fine dog, of the Norway breed, was seen running along the New -cut, Lambeth, foaming at the mouth, and snapping at every thing which impeded its pro gress, evidently in a highly-excited and rabid state. When opposite the Victoria Theatre it darted at Mrs. Thomas, the wife of a carpenter, residing in the Lower Marsh, who was crossing the road with a child in her arms, and, seizing her by the gown, dragged her under the horses of a break which was passing at the time. The dog thereupon made off in the direc tion of Gibson-street, and the affrighted woman and child fortunately escaped with only a few slight bruises, caused by the horses, which were immediately pulled up by the driver, or the most serious conse quences most probably would have ensued. The dog then proceeded towards the Palace New-road, where it attacked a small terrier belonging to three garden ers, who were going to their work at Battersea, one of whom discovered the rabid state of the animal, and stunned it with his hoe, when it was speedily de spatched by his companions with their spades, but not before it had so severely bitten the terrier as to render it necessary, as a safe precaution, to kill that animal likewise upon the spot. Both dogs were then thrown into the 1 Names, opposite the Bishop's-walk. On Saturday evening last, about nine o'clock, a storm of unprecedented violence fell over the vil lages of Great and Little Abington, in this county. The wind was blowing strong from the south, and the barometer at 68 degrees, when the storm rose ; it was preceded by the most vivid flashes of lightning, ac companied by the most awful peals of thunder. Hail stones, or rather pieces of ice, of an oblong shape, nearly an inch in length, descended with such force as to threaten the destruction of everything in their way, creating the greatest alarm. Fortunately the wind veered round to the W. S. W., and drove the storm, after it had expended the greater part of its violence during 15 minutes, to the eastward, and passed heavily over the village of Hildersham, where it left marks of its violence. Had it continued much longer, the most serious apprehensions must have been enter tained for the corn, which, however, fortunately escaped uninjured. The only damage ascertained is the destruction of about 400 panes of glass on the pre mises at Abington-hall, the lodge and vicarage. The neighbouring villages of Babraham and the town of Linton escaped with little damage. The storm came from the southward. Only a very small portion of the storm passed over this town, and scarcely any rain fell.—Cambridge Journal. PEDESTRIANISM.—We understand that R. Skipper, the pedestrian champion of England, err Wednesday commenced, at Melton, the Herculean task of walking 64 miles per day, for three successive days. His route is by way of Hovingham, Stone grave, and Helmsley, twice and back each day. He relies for the remuneration of his labour on the gene rosity of the public. Skipper defeated George Wil son in 1816 ; also the celebrated Captain Barclay, at Newmarket, in 1822 ; also John Townsing in 18-M ; also Wright in 1824 ; also the celebrated Frenchman, in Paris, 1827 ; also Robert Russell, in Dublin, 1830. He performed the extraordinary and unparalleled feat of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive half-hours, on the same ground Captain Barclay walked 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive hours. He commenced this arduous undertaking on the 25th of September, 1822, at eight o'clock in the evening, and comidleted it on the 16th of October, at four o'clock in the afternoon. To witness the completion of this task, never hitherto performed by man, were collected thousands of ad miring spectators. Among the numerous nobility who on this occasion honoured the pedestrian with their presence, were his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Portland, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Rivers, Lord Foley, &c. This celebrated pedestrian has been in the army six teen years.—Leeds Times. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Sunday morn ing, at an early hour, the inhabitants of Pheasant court, Gray's Inn-lane, were greatly excited, in con sequence of a report that a man had been murdered by three notorious prostitutes, residing in the above court. The following are briefly the particulars of the case :—An elderly man, named James Lacey, re siding at Gravesend, came to town on Friday to trans act some business, when he was detained until a late hour. On his way through Holborn he was accosted by a woman, who requested him to relieve her, and ultimately she invited him to accompany her to a house in Pheasant -court, which he consented to, as he was without a lodging. On entering the house he was introduced to two other women, who asked him whether he would take anything to drink, and one of them pro ceeded to the cupboard and brought out a bottle, and handed him a glass of something, which she said was gin. He drank it off, and shortly , after he was seized with a stupor, and he fell fast asleep. The parties began instantly to rifle his pockets, and in an at tempt to take off his boots he was disturbed, when he discovered his pockets inside out. He imme diately arose from the bed, and demanded to be let out. On which three desperate looking women rushed into the room, knocked him down, and com menced beating him in a shocking manner. One of them seized him by the neckerchief, and twisted it until he was nearly strangled, while another beat him over The head and face with a pint pot, until he was ladeated and bruised in a dreadful manner. The third woman held her hand over his mouth, to prevent him making an alarm ; and after maltreating him in a brutal manner they left him for dead, bleeding profusely from his wounds. The old man, however, recovered, and crawled as well as he was able into the cg.urt, and made an alarm, when Johnson, 81, G division, came to his assistance, and assisted him to the house of a medical gentleman, where he was rendered every assistance, and was conveyed to the hospital. He was, however, able to give a description of the persons who made the attack upon him, and they were all well known to Johnson, who proceeded instanter to search after them, and in the course of a short time he apprehended the whole of the patty, and took them to the station house. The old ;Ilan, on being questioned, said that he was a boatswain, and he had come to Somerset house on some pecuniary business, and had received Go/. in gold and notes ; " but," said the old tar, "to he cautious of the land-sharks, I stowed it away in my boot, and the didn't get a dump from me." He is now in a mutilated and weakly state. The prisoners are all young women, but notoriously bad characters.
