The expense which attended the prosecution of the • County of Dublin Election Petition was nearly 30,0001. Some idea may be formed from the fact, that the printer, who during the election printed the squibs and placards for the sitting Members, and who was summoned to give evidence before the Committee by the unsuccessful petitioner, was paid for his loss of time 801., although he was never examined. The evidence taken will, if pub lished, display some instances of gross prevarication and perjury. One witness for the petitioner, on his cross examination, denied that he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and within six days after, a person con nected with the Court proved, from the records, that he had done so. FOOTPADS.-The roads below Stratford, in Essex, have been infested for a short time past, at night, with one or two footpads, who have been very audacious in their depredations. One evening last week, a gentle man was stopped at the corner of Angel-lane, near Strat ford, by a footpad, who presented a pistol at him, and compelled him to deliver his watch and a considerable sum of money. On Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, Mr. Mose, a saddler, living near the George at Stratford, was riding on the road not far from that place, when a man jumped from the footpath, and presenting a pistol at him, demanded his money with the usual threats. Mr. a Mose said "Let me dismount , and I will g i ve it to you." He got off his horse, and while the robber had yet the pistol presented, he suddenly seized the weapon and wrest ing it from his hand turned it upon him, and said he would shoot him if he attempted to advance a step. The fellow, who was also armed with a huge stick, showed no signs of alarm ; and Mr. Mose thought it most prudent to retreat. He ran to his horse, mounted him and rode off at full speed to Stratford, taking the pistol with him. It was what is called ,a horsespistol,• and' was found to be loaded. The police are, new on the alert lOoking out for to haves companion or two excursions.ry Pied in nhe his robber, rredato wilo is supposed No. 10,798.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Arita, IS. shortly before the rising of the Court on Thurs day last, the late Lord Chancellor stated that he would come down on the following Thursday (this day) and Saturday, to deliver the judgment in " Brown v. De Tastet," and various other cases, which, after " dragging . their slow length alone" through a protracted period of years (some of them being upwards of 20 years' standing), were at length ripe for decision. His Lordship had repeatedly be fore fixed several of these cases for judgment on spe cific days, on which days they were accordingly en tered in the paper " for judgment." Something or another always interfered, however, to postpone the promised decision; and now it would seem that Lord Eldon's judgment-day was never destined to arrive ; for on the door of the Court of Chancery this day was posted the following notice :—" The Lord Chancellor will not sit to4norrow : due notice will be given when his Lordship will." It is diffi cult to say whether or not his Lordship was more sincere in his promise to deliver judgments on this, than on the various former occasions to which we have referred: for it was on the very same day on which this promise was made that his Lordship's re signation of the Chancellorship was sent in. It is but justice, however, to add, that the Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock on that day, his Lordship observing that he was obliged to go away early : so that it is not improbable that Lord Eldon's resolu tion " to strike" was only finally taken at that meeting of exalted " operatives" to which his Lord ship was then hurrying away from Court, rind which was immediately followed by the notable " turn out" which has given such satisfaction to the nation at large, and to none more than the suitors of the Court of Chancery.

IT having pleased his most Gracious Majesty to appoint Mr. Canning his Premier, to form an en lightened Administration, it must be evident to all, from the various resignations of some of tlie most important situations under the Crown, that it will lead to a most ex tensive correspondence as well at home as abroad, and as it is impossible such a correspondence can be carried on with• out the agency of a Pen, T.

SUPERIOR BEAVER HATS. ciIIARLES COVINTON begs to exprest his gratitude to his numerous friend s and the public, for the very liberal patronage with which he has been favoared ; and he takes this opportunity of stating, that in consequence of the increased demand for his NEW and IMPROVED SHORT-NAPPED BEAVER HATS, he finds it absolutely necessary to remove to more extensive premises, . , 192 CHEAPSIDE, two doors from Gutter lane, which he has opened with a splendid variety of shapes and fashion, whereby the purchaser cannot fail to find a Hat in every respect suited to his taste. C. C. again calls the attention of his friends, and the public to his IMPROVED SHORT-NAPPED BEAVER HAT ; and he feels confident, that from its great supe riority to every other Hat, it only has to be known, to be generally approved of. It is well adapted to every kind of wear, being perfectly water-proof, and in consequence of a peculiar method of disposing the Nap or Beaver (which is remarkably short and thick), will not be affected by the roughest weather. This Hat is fight, and of astonishing durability ; and although elastic, as a good Hat ought to be; retains its shape to the last. ",.* Gentlemen's Dress and Livery Hats. CANTERBURY ELECTION. A very numerous and respectable body of the Freemen of the City of Canterbury, residing in Lon don and its vicinity, attended last night at the - White Hart, Giltspur-street, for the - purpose of promoting the return of Colonel Torrens, as Member of Par liament for that city, in the event of a vacancy, which is expected soon to occur, in consequence of the appointment of Mr. Lushington to the Governor ship of Madras. - - - - Mr. G. AMOS was unanimously called to the Chair ; and Mr. SITELDRAKE, tile Secretary, read the minutes of a former Meeting, by which it had been resolved, that it was of the utmost importance that some one should be called upon to undertake the Representa tion of the City of Canterbury in Parliament on the independent principle, and that Colonel Torrens should be called upon to stand forward as a Candi date on that principle—and invited to attend the Meeting of last night, in order to state his senti ments, and give the Freemen assembled an oppor tunity of judging whether they could conscientiously support him. Colonel Torrens accordingly attended, and was introduced by Mr. Sheldrake, and was received by the Meeting with great applause. Colonel TORRENS then addressed the freemen, and commenced by observing, that he was most happy to come forward in obedience to their Requisition, to state his sentiments before them, and give them an opportunity of judging whether, in case of a va cancy, he was a proper person to represent them in Parliament. At the same time, it was right to ob serve, that there- was no actual vacancy, and that it was not very certain that any such would imme diately occur, and therefore he could only say at pre sent, that if a vacancy should occur, he would cer tainly, if he me t w ith proper encouragement, obey their summons, and offer himself a Candidate for their suffrages. The freemen would, however, ob serve, that the situation of Governor of Madras, which had been accepted by one of their present re presentatives, was not strictly such a government situation as necessarily compelled him to vacate his seat; and if he thought proper to take their votes With him to India in his pocket, he might perhaps be able to do so, and, in fact, after having taken the oaths required by his new situation, he had attended his place in Parliament. But be that as it might, there was some probability, on account of recent events, that a General Election would soon take place, and in that case he would certainly do himself the honour to apply to them for their support. Having. said so much on that head, he begged their permis sion to advert to the most extraordinary political events of the present time—most extraordinary, surely, they might be called, when those persons wi: - ) had assumed an extravagant and almost exclu sive pretension to loyalty, had turned their backs upon his Majesty, and entered into a foul conspiracy against the prerogative of the Crown.—(Loud ap plause.)—He did not mean to say that those con spirators had gone so far as to attempt to dethrone his Majesty, and to alter the order of succession in the House of Brunswick, but he did say that they had attempted to erect seven other petty thrones in his Majesty's stead, and that these Tory traders had endeavoured now to put down the King, as they had before endeavoured to put down the, rights of the people.—(Applause.)— if he should ever be called upon to represent them in Parliament, he would certainly set himself against this species of Oligarchy, and represent them on th e principle of Loyalty to the King, and liberty to the People.—(Applause.)—After all, he believed that these Tory conspirators acted, not so much out of disloyalty to the King, as of personal hatred of Mr. Canning. Why they should hate Mr. Canning, it was not so easy to say, and he could only answer the question by asking another—Why did the Devil bate holy water ? Why did bats and owls detest the light ? The reason was, that they hated the light because their de e d s were d ar k ness , an d t h ese people hated Mr. Canning because lie was a friend to liberty. —(Applause.)—l n order to understand this the better, it was material to look back a little upon the circumstanc es in which the country had been placed a little befor e and after the times at which Mr. Canning had come into office as a Cabinet Mi nister. At the close of the war, our fleets and armies had b roug ht it to a successful termination in the Pe n i nsula, W h i le we ac ted in concert with the free Government of Spain. Then, when Fer dinand escaped from the thraldom in which Buona parte had held him, he overturned the free, Govern ment whi c h h a d f oug ht for him and liberated him, and the Duke of Wellington acquiesced in the re storation of the despotism. Then Spain itself rose against th e m i sru l e, an d t h e Constitution was again restored, but the despots of Europe, acting upon the Castlereagh system, had again restored despotism— he said the Castlereagh system, by which the at tempt had been made to crush freedom all over the world. By that system ;he famed Republic of Venice had been handed over to the despotism of Austria; and Genoa had been consigned to its ancient des potic enemy, the King of Sardinia. By that system England was made a mere tail to be dragged after the chariots of the Despots of Enrope. Such was the state of things when Mr. Canning came into office as a Minister ;and then what could he do ? He could not restore what had been so deranged. But he did what he could. He speedily put an end to the close connection which had been established with the Despots of Europe, and supported the cause of Con stitutional freedom among the South American States, and in Portugal, and he was now employed in negotiations to secure, if possible, the free dom of Greece; and this was the cause of the hatred of these Tory conspirators towards Mr. Canning. They asked why should Mr. Con niny have been so much more popular than Lord Castlereagh ? Their different modes of acting in many .important particulars sufficiently accounted for that, and Englishmen were not slow in the percep tion of what was meritorious in their rulers, and to bestow on them liberally such applause as they de served.—(Loud cheers.)—The Freemen whom he then had the honour to address, were the first great public body of Electors who had assembled since the strange political events which had lately happened, % and he felt particularly gratified at the manner in which these sentiments were received. He trusted they were a symptom of the feeling which would soon be manifested all over the kingdom, and he was most happy that the manifestation of that feeling had commenced with the Men of Kent,—(loud cheering;)—that the voice had arisen first among those men who had always stood foremost in loyalty to their King and patriotism to, their Country— . Men of Kent distinguished long, • In hist'ry's page, in poet's song," &c. He had little more to say to them at present. He was a friend to civil and religious liberty all over the world, while, at the same, he would do all in his power to take care that the Protestant Religious Establishment of this country should be fully pro tected. He would oppose any Oligarchy which might attempt to destroy at once the prerogative of the Crown and the liberties of the people. The prerogatives of the Crown were established for the sake of the liberties of the people, and the good of the community; and he who supported the just prerogatives of the Crown, at the same time sup ported the true liberties and interests of the people, and when an Oligarchy of men attempted to set themselves up at the expence both of the Crown and the people, then came the season for " Flying from petty Tyrants to the Throne." He repeated, that if a vacancy should occur, he would be happy to offer himself as a Candidate for the high honour of representing the ancient city of Canterbury. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that the cause for the support of which they were assembled was that of independence—a very serious consideration, consider ing the immense multitudes of human beings whose destinies were connected with the votes of English electors. As for their votes being carried to India in the pockets of one of their present Representa tives, they must endeavour by some means to coun teract any attempt of that description. Mr. FULLER, the Deputy Chairman, stated that some Gentlemen around him wished to know what were the sentiments of Col. Torrens on the subject of Parliamentary Reform ? Mr. SIIELDRAKE, the Secretary, thought, that as Colonel Torrens was not as yet actually a candidate, it might be as well to refrain from questioning him more particularly at present. Col. TORRNS said, that he had no objection even then to state in general terms, that he was a decided friend to the liberty of the subject; and would cer tainly promote, to the utmost of his power, every . improvement that might appear to be wisely con ceived and was likely to be well executed. A FREEMAN next inquired, whether Colonel Torrens was disposed to be a supporter of Catholic Emancipation ? Colonel TORRENS observed, that he had already, as he conceived, answered that question, when he stated that be was a friend to civil and religious liberty. • But at the same time, he would require the most ample security for the Protestant Establish ments of this country. He was a true son of the-. Church, as they might readily believe, when he stated that his father had been a fat Protestant Rec tor, with a very good Living ; that his mother's father had been in the same situation ; and that he had two brothers—one a Rector, and the other a Dean, with the prospect of becoming a Bishop, on the Irish Protestant Establishment. No one could be a more decided friend than he was to the Protes tant ascendancy in this country ; and as to the charg( of Popery, he threw back the stigma upon thos(• Tory conspirators who had restored the Pope, brought back Ferdinand and the Inquisition, were themselves Monks and Jesuits in principle, and were supported by that devilish party of Apostolicals in France and Spain which was so anxious to under mine in this country that' firm Protestant rock, against which all the waves of Popery would beat in vain.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then called upon the Freemen tc mark by a show of hands how far they were disposed to support Colonel Torrens, iR case he should ap ply for their suffrages in the event of a vacancy. The show of hands was decidedly in favour of Col. Torrens, and none were held up against him. Colonel TORRENs then stated, that in case he were to become a Candidate for the ancient City of Canterbury, be must depend upon the out voters in London and its vicinity, for he knew well what sort of Treasury influence, and other influence, prevailed among a great portion of the residents in the City. He felt himself, therefore, bound to state candidly, that unless he could secure a great majority of the out-voters, he would not think it either wise or pru dent to hazard a contest. He, therefore, threw him self entirely on their exertions. The Meeting soon after separated. Died, on Thursday last, Matthias Kerrison, Esq., of Bungay. Mr. Kerrison was one of the most ex traordinary characters that this age has distinguished 1) the accumulation of property. Born in the meanest con dition of life, and enjoying none of the advantages of edu cation beyond the commonest rudiments, Mr. Kerrison yet has amassed, by trade and by saving, property not much short probably of a million sterling, much of which is vested in the fine estates, late the possessions of Lord May nard and Marquess Cornwallis.

I really think then is less of art in the composition of Spanish women than of any other people whatsoever. They neither paint nor patch, nor have those periodical rnoultings of feathers, which fa shion elsewhere prescribes ; but they all dress nearly alike, and in the same way all seasons ; so that Senora Maria is only to be distinguished from Senora Mariana by a coun tenance more melancholy, by black eyes swimming in More maiden whiteness, or by a figure (which is ever grace ful) of a somewhat larger or smaller mould. The fasquina, or black silk petticoat, is generally bordered at the botton, with black beads, and so disposed into an open kind of net work, as to afford the curious eye a casual felicity of admir ing the most beautiful ancles in the world. Their stock ings are of white silk, anti they are never without a mantels (an ample veil of white lace) which is gracefully hung over their head and shoulders when they go abroad, and at other times adopted as a shawl. Small pieces of lead are attached, I understand, to the bottom of the fasquinas, which account, for the lonian elegance of its foldings and fall. Amidst the many changes that Spain has undergone, the women alone seem to he unchanged. Lattices, and jealousies, and duennas, and indeed all that used to give love-making such a romantic air in this beyond that of any other country, have long since disappeared ; but the passion itself still con stitutes the existence of Spanish women. It is not, how ever, that intriguing kind of love, which we hear of it. France, where a lady changes her love as easily and as oftet as her glover ; but rather devotion to one object, which renders them the greatest tyrants in the world, and makes them exact more adoration than was ever offered up at an) idol's shrine. —Adventurts in the Peninsula. ~.-,„ , , . ~,,re . 1. , , !,,, THE ENTERVIU SR .

The Enterprza was remove d from the builder's dock to the moorings at Deptford in July last, land left Deptford for -Greece on the 13th inst. From the account whiCh has been given to us of the mode in which the •voyage as far as Dover, has been performed, we should conceive that the vessel will fall much short of the expectation which has been raised respecting her by those who have sent her to Greece, and that she is much inferior in that respect to the Persever ance which was sent out last year. The Enter prise did not reach Dover till the afternoon of the 16th. It appears that some delays not at tributable to the mechanism of the vessel did take place, and it would be therefore incorrect to say that a voyage which is frequently performed in about twelve hours from the river, occupied three or four days, but enough delay did occur to prove that the Enterprise is far from adequate to-the service for which she has been construct ed. As this is a question of much public in terest, the delay and difficulty in fitting out these vessels having been even insinuated as a charge against the country of seeking to embarrass the Greeks, we annex a short journal of the voyage to Dover (divested ofteehnicallanguage) in proof of what we have asserted above : "APRIL 13.—The Enterprise left Deptford, and dropped down to Blackwall. 14.—Got under weigh at four in the after noon. Steam-gauge, 36 ; rate of going, 44- miles per hour. The Enterprise steers well, which is her best quality. Brought up again almost immediately, and made fast to the East India moorings, in consequence of a boat, and part of the crew, which was sent for stores, not having returned. Remained all night. " 15th.—Got under weigh at four o'clock the morning, and reached Gravesend at 35 minutes after six o'clock. The tide was very strong in favour. Just below Gravesend, at the request of the engineer, the engine was stopped, on doing which the vessel became unmanagea ble, and it was necessary to let go the anchor to prevent her going on shore. Got under weigh again at a quarter before eight ; but on reaching a part of the river a few miles on this side of the Nore, the steam-guage had sunk down to 23, and at 11, when within two miles of the Nore light, the steam was all consumed. The engine was consequently stopped to supply the boilers, and it was half-past 'l2 before the vessel was again able to proceed. The steam-guage was then 36, and the rate of going through the water was not more than 34 miles per hour. At one o'clock in the afternoon the steam-gauge had fallen to 264, and at quarter past two to 244. At three o'clock it was understood that the steam would not possess sufficient power to work the vessel above one hour longer, and that three or four hours would . be necessary to rectify her defects, and bring her to her average degree of velocity. At four o'clock came to anchor not far from the buoy of the Spaniard. " 16th.—At six in the morning got under weigh, and at nine o'clock the North Foreland was S. by W.

BERLIN, APRIL 7.—On the 17th of March, the Government at Posen leaned a notice, contradicting a report spread among the inhabitants of the Circle of Birn baum, that the Empress of Russia would come to Berlin, and on her return to Russia, take with her many thousand people from the Prussian States, to settle as colonists in Russia. THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE--The con struction of the New Bridge across the Thames, is proceed ing with great rapidity. The foundations of four out of the five arches have been laid. The piers of the two arches on the Surrey side have been raised considerably above high-water mark ; the wood work is completed, and. the masons are beginning to turn the arches with atone. On the City side, the foundation of the abutment only re mains to be sunk, the piers of two of the other arches being completed, and that of the last arch in a very for ward state. The wood work for the third arch is nearly ready, and will shortly be brought from the Isle of Dogs , , when it is formed, and where also nearly the whole of the stones used are hewn to their proper dimensions. In order to widen the water-way at the old bridge, and to lessen. the fall, which was much increased by the obstruction oc casioned by the coffer-dams for the new bridge, on each side of the old bridge two arches have been thrown into one. From the great labour required to demolish the stone work, it is apparent that the bridge would have withstood the ravages of time for another century at least. It is fully expected that the new bridge will be completed within the vity displayed. period first stated (Are years, we believe), such is th e acti- RESTORATION OF A NOSE.--On Thursday last, Mr. Liston, surgeon in this city, performed an ope ration of a very peculiar nature on the face of a young man, whose nose had been almost completely obliterated, by the effects of a severe blow. The appearance of his face had been rendered quite hideous, more like that of .a death's head than of a living mortal. The method of re storing the lost feature is called the Taliacotian operation, from the name of the surgeon who is said to have first performed it. This is the first time it has ever been tried, in Scotland, and it is hoped from the success attending the operation, that it may not be the last. The writer of this was a non-medical witness, who saw Mr. Liston operate before the pupils attending his class. The courage of the young man who was to undergo the operation, had been screwed up to the cutting point, and it was somewhat dif ficult to say whether the dexterity of the operator, or the fortitude of his patient, was most to be admired. The first part of the operation is to cut off a portion of the small remnant of the original nose, for the purpose of form ing a surface to which the new nose may be attached, and finally adhere by the complete vital union of parts. The second stage of the operation is to flay down from the CC .1•- tre of the forehead to the top of the nose a portion of the skin and muscles which will be of sufficient size, when propped up, to form the external appearance of the organ. The upper portion of this skin is cut very narrow to forin the division of the nostrils, and the whole is then turned upside down and laid over the part where the nose should he. It is then firmly attached to the face by means of a number of single stitches of the needle, and left to adhere and heal up, which generally very soon occurs. It is true that a gash of rather an unseemly appearance is made in the forehead ; but by means of adhesive plaster the edges of the fresh wound are made very nearly to meet, and when it is healed up, there only remains a scar, which is but a very trifling disparagement to the countenance of min, compared with the disagreeable look which always attends a defect in the nasal premontory. The operation altogether lasted nearly half an hour, but the time during which the knife was actually applied to the parts, and in which alone the pain mast have been eery intense, was not more than two or three minutes. It may not be out of place to mention, that tie same able and dexterous surgeon about, ten days previously, performed an operation on the same organ of a gentleman of this city, whose nose, from some constitutional idiosyncrasy, had grown to a most un natural size. Instead of presenting, as he did formerly, the appearance of a handful of large strawberries attached to his face, by some maladroit operation of nature, this gen tleman actually can now, by means of the plastic hand of Mr. Liston, exhibit a nose of as elegant a form as if it had been Cast in the purest Roman model.—Caledonian Mercury.
