At last an elector, who gave his name to be Mr. Darby, but who, it seems, ob tained from h s appearance the nick-name of" Dirty Darby'," got upon the table. He kept p ssession of it for nearly an hour, and said that nothing was • tsiee than to carry any great measure, and in a short time too, if the Government pleased. The present Lord Chancellor could very easily and rea dily obtain a retiring pension of 5,0001 a ye , r.— (Cries of" You had better go and pick his pockei,") He entreated the meuting to be cautious to whom they intrusted their lives and wive. —(Mach I ,, u,:hter, and " The candidates will have enough to do to satisfy and take care of them.")

RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF THE POLES AT CRONSTADT. The following shocking narrative has been handed to us for insertion. It is in the form of a letter, addressed to the Secretary of the Hull Polish A•soeiation, from a highly re , pectahle master of a Hull ship, just arrived from St. Pe tershurgh. We understand it to be the intention to give this important document a pl ce in the forthcoming num ber of the Hull Polish Record, but meanwhile no time should be Io•t in giving it publicity TO THE SECRETARY OF THE HULL POLISH ASSOCIATION. " Sir,—Knowing you to be a well wisher to the cause of suffering Poland, 1 take the liberty of sending you a short statement of facts, with the hope of stirring up our countrymen to aid the cause of humanity. On the 4th (16th) ult. twelve Poles were flogged fur not taking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas. Fitty was the present number of dissentients, hut only twelve suffered at that time. The town of Cronstadt is surrounded with a high rampart, and at the foot of it, on one side, is a large open space for the soldiers to perform their exercise. Three thousand Poles were drawn up in four lines near to it, to witness this disgusting sight. and at the same time, the magnanimity of their countrymen. Two til , s of soldiers, each consisting of 250 men, stood ready with hazle sticks in their right hands, and with loaded muskets at rest in the left. A band of music was stationed at each end, to drown the cries of the sufferers. At both ends of the line, too, were 500 to 1,000 troops under arms, with field.pieces at either extremity, ready to blow to atoms the bystanders amongst the Poles in case they should revolt, and endeavour to save the lives of their unfortunate countrymen. When their victim was brought out to the line, the butt-ends of two muskets were placed tinder his arms to drag him alone, and the point of a bayonet at his breast to prevent him from advancing too quickly! During the infliction of the first 50 or 100 lashes, the sufferer shrieked out dreadfully. Afterwards, I should suppose his feelings became paralyzed to the lash, until he felt the soldiers drag him up again with all that savage brutality for which they are noted. Having finished their horrid butchery, they let the suffere r fall to the ground, where he lay until the cart arrived to take him away to the hospital, with no other covering to his mangled and bleeding body than a mat. Two or three of the poor Poles received as many as eight thousand, others front four to six thousand lashes ! It was supposed by a surgeon present, who was no Russian, that at least two would die in the course of the day. Should they, however, be so unfortunate as to get better, their fate would he to be fib. ged again, until they did take the oath. The priest and his crucifix stood near the general officer at the head of the line, and promised them pardon if they would recant ! But, no ! the noble-spirited Poles pre ferred even death to servitude under such a monster. I can assure you, Sir, it was a most heart-rending sight to see the blood trickle down a fellow-creature's back, for no crime but reluctance to serve a master they could not love. And why he should send them down to Cronstadt for people of all nations to wit ness his barbarity, I cannot tell. Certain it is that this very circumstance will further the cause of Po land. I must not omit to say that several of the Russian ..fficers behaved in the must indecent mariner ; laughing when they saw the wretched captive writhe under the lash, and telling their soldiers they did not lay on hard enough, for it was only a Polak (a term of reproach). It was awful to see with what malicious pleasure the Russians wit nessed the transaction. When the poor sufferer passed by me in the cart, with all but death in his countenance, and his eye-balls sta r ti ng f ront hi s h ea d , t h e s i ght was such as left an impression on my memory which time will never efface. For the truth of the foregoing, I might ref-T you to Captains—, _, —„ , " Excuse this scrawl, and I remain, Dear Sir, " Yours respectfully, " AN EYE-WITNESS." [Note. This act has been perpetrated since the depar ture of Lord Durham. Another eye-witness speaks ut the Poles as notile-looking men, with fine open countenances. He shuddered as he described the horrid scene.] —Hull Rockingham. THE LATE LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE IN YORK-STREET, WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday the whole of the witnesses in the case of manslaughter against Mr. JOSSENS, attended at the sessions to give evidence before the Grand Jury. We understand Mr. JOSSENS has dis posed of his property in this country and escaped to the continent; consequently it is not his intention to surrender himself to take his trial at the Old Bailey. The new work, entitled " Wild Sports of the West," has been pronounced at TATTERSALL's to be the very best hook of the kind ever published. The author is not only a keen and experienced sportsman, but he is a strong and graphic writer, who imparts something of his enthusiasm to his reader. A nooleinan, well known to the turf, was so delighted with the " Wild Sports of the West," as to send a pressing invitation to the author to join a hunting party at his country mansion ; the latter, however, had just left the kingdom on a military excur,ion to Portugal. Air. ROGERS being called to the chair, stated the purpose of meeting, and said, that as the con flict of election was near at hand, the people should make up their minds as to whom they would sup port. He entreated for good order and an impartial hearing for ail. Mr. THOMAS EVANS read the first resolution, which inculcated the necessity of choosing men as Member- of Parliament who would promote re trenchment and economy in the Government, and would support enlightened and proper principles in our foreign and domestic policy. Mr. T. Evans felt that the oligarchical tyranny under which we at pre sent lived was as bad as any tyranny that had ever existed, and must be thrown off. The Westminster electors should bear in mind the great name, the pre-eminent s'ation which the had hitherto always . maintained among electors,V7ri now, as be fore, show themselves the pioneers, the vanguard, iu the tight for liberty.—(Cheers.) They roust not, out of a feeling of gratitude for what their old Members had done, allow themselves to be injured by those candidates for the future. Mr. PEACOCK seconded the resolution, and en treated the electors to exercise their pre-eminent judgment in the choice of a representative, and no , be led away by any private feelings, Their own welfare arid that of the empire at large were at stake. Many constituencies looked towards West minster electors as heretofore, to show the way; and if these electors led them astray, they would have much to answer for.— The resolution was then unanimously carried. Colonel EVANS was received with the most una nimous applause. He was delighted to see ladies present; he considered they, and children even, were as much interested in this matter as the men. —(Cheers.) Seeing women here put him in mind of the great assistance he had received in getting himself made Member for a small town where the voters fourteen in number —were against him, according to their orders; but they were obliged to elect him, from he determination of the whole town, men arid women, not to be set aside by these fourteen people; and so they got him in in spite of a number of Hobhouse's dragoons, who were ready to assist them if they themselves had been willing to velour. on such an experiment; but he got in. He wished to say a word about a letter he had written about a week ago, in which he said that at the present time, when the greatest part of our institutions were about to be remodelled and reformed, it was es sential in electors to be most cautious as to who were the persons they should intrust these re modellings arid reformations to. As such very strong observations were now made on the expres sion- made use of by candidates, he wished to let everybody know what he meant by remodel. Their revered candidate had made some very unexpected comments on the expression thus used. He had said, or was reported no have said, at the Crown and Anchor, that " he was not for first pulling down arid destroy rig, for that is what was meant by remodeliing.' This was as much as to say, that those who wished to remodel meant to revolu tionize. He(Col. E.), much surprised at this interpre tation coming from so great a philologist, looked in J ,huson, who is also somewhat thought of as a phi lologist, and there he found that to model means to form, fashion, plan ; and to remodel, to reform, model anew—hut not a word about pulling to pieces, or revo —(Laughter)—two or three other D.ctionaries gave the same definition, so he sup posed Sir Francis was wrongly reported, or some thing. He was by no means a Revolutionist, hut, on the contrary, was delighted to have the Reform Bill, which, such as it was, was yet quite enough to prevent the slightest chance of anything like the ne cessity of recurring to violence for the effecting of further measures. He believed, however, that the sys tem of intimidation to which the people had been compelled to recur, was the real source of the power which they had now obtained, of getti ng their further ends in a quiet manner. The most timid old lady or gentleman may now be perfectly at ease. He (Colonel Evans) would have every wrong set right; he would not consent to the in fringement on any individual property—(Th e Bishops ?)—oh, he did not consider theirs private property—Church property was the property of the people—the ministers only their servants. lie would have public faith kept inviolate. He was so far a demagogue, as some call it, that he thought every legislative act thould be for the good of the many, and not for that of the few.—(Cheers.) With regard to pledges, it had been said that those who requited them were knaves, arid those who gave them, fools. Now he thought those who did not givethernwere the knaves, and those who did not insist on them, the fools.— (Cheers.) He would strenuo us l y support the shortening of Parliaments and the vote by ballot, the two subsidiary points which would make the Bill complete—(Cheers)— and he did not see how Ministers could refuse these measures, to which several of the most distiuguisbed of them w ere pledged.—(Cheers.) The shortening of Parliaments was a measure a thousand times more requisite now than before. Before, the House of Commons had been a mere machine worked by the House of Lords for the raising of taxes, and doing other similar work—as a sort of mouth-piece for giving forth the laws of the oligarchy, and as an executive for enforcing those laws. The next Parliament would have the power of making laws themselves, and it was essential that these new law-makers should be trustworthy, and that their trustworthiness should not be too long tried — it might wear out in seven years. These were his ruinous revolutionary notions on these points ; another was a decided opposition to the great me tropolitan injustice, the house and assessed taxes. — (Cheers.) It the abolition of the-e be ruinous to the country, he trembled for it.—(Laughter.) He had also another ruinous revolutionary plot in his head, which was to do away with the taxes on knowledge as soon as ever he could.—(Laughter and cheers.) They were most destructive and oppressive, not only to a deserving, numerous, and highly-respect able class, but to the people at large—to the human mind.—(Cheers.) With respect to Church Reform, l i he believed this would be one of the first measures brought before the next Parliament ; and from the home questions fifteen or sixteen, sent round to all the ecclesiastics, he had DO doubt the Government • had made up their minds to a speedy and effective reformation. They would meet with his strongest support if they did, as in all other points where they should do their duty, as strongly as he would oppose them if they should attempt the contrary. —(Cheers.) It was most essential though, that the people should insist u p on t h e i r representa tives standing to their arms in this point ; for a good portion of the tithes, one mark to be aimed at, wa 3 in the hands of certain Lay Lords and Right Ho nourables, who would, very naturally, do their best io keep it.—(Neve r fear ; rio.) In taking from my Lords and the Bishops their 30,0001. a year, we must, however, for the present, leave them a tenth thereof, or perhaps their gracious Lordships might excommunicate us ; and what are we to do then ? (Laughter—" It's too . much.") The system of tithes, he felt, must he done away with. The Mi rasters, with all their bayonets, confessed their nability to keep it much longer up in Ireland ; and when it should be done up there, we shan't e long plagued here.—( Oh, no.) The abo lition of slavery he would not merely say he would oppose, but he had every belief that it would very speedily be done away with. And, be sides the benefits to the black, we should have the monopoly of sugar done away with, and not be obliged to pay one hundred per cent. to the sugar growers, as at present—one great maintenance of slavery. With regard to corn laws, he could not better express his own opinions than by quoting Mr. Grote's view of it, who says that we ought to grant an equivalent protection to the corn-growers in proportion to the burden they can show they -uffer beyond what other people bear. This addi tional burden, whatever it was, greatly arose from the tithes; so that, when tithes are done away with, the reformation of our corn laws will be made all r he plainer and easier. With reference to the new po lice, he (Colonel Evans) acknowledged their effi ciency, but objected to the enormous sums raised for He did ,not like the sr ;nglishmen too much likes military force—a gendarmerie. He doubted the cionstitutionaliry of a Ministry's having such a fore, n their own hands. The soldiers could not ac' without the order of a Magistrate, but these police men were at the beck of one of the Ministers. He then adverted to the use which had been made of them some time ago by the late Ministry. He would reduce the army,, and the expenses of what he should leave remaining; he had some time ago wished to reduce the exprises by 18,0001, but they would not let him ; the Reformed Parliament would, most probably. The Gallant Colonel proceeded to give his views at some length, and they all gave very general satisfaction. Colonel Evans then proceeded to state, that a parry of gentlemen had waited upon him, and made great complaints against him for obtruding himself en the electors; but having good reasons for knowing that many of those electors had invited him of their own accord, he made inquiries as to who these deputies , were, :aid found they were Cie Rump.—(Laughter.) The Hon. Baronet (Sir J. C. Hohhouse), they said, had no stain. He (Colonel Evans) replied, that as to that he could not speak ;—no candidate's opinion of a rival should he asked. Upon this, hat Hon. Baronet gets up at the Crown and An chor, and says, that he (Colonel Evans) has no complaints against him, and dares him to make any; and that he (Colonel Evans) had himself proposed an address of thanks and congratulation to him (Sir J. C. Hobhouse) on his becoming one of the linistry. It was true that he had done so; but t hat was with reference to his past conduct. Tne don. Baronet would have no address of thanks to him now, he might rest assured. What the elec tors disapproved of, was not his conduct before he was a Minister, but since. Colonel Evans then, in a very able and el, (pent speech, which was re ceived throughout with great approbation, derailed he various reasons he had for &jeering to Sir J. C. Hobhouse. He would not have spoken on this subject, had not the Hon. Baronet taunted him that he had none. He had many besides these ; but these were the principal. The points were— __ That he (Sir J. C. Hobliousi) had voted auainst a mo tion, made in the last Session of Parliament, fir the sui pension of Flogging in the Army and .tia%y, for One Y e ar. That he opposed a Motion made by Colonel Evans to make a small Reduction i❑ the Standing Army in the time f Peace. That he publicly declared in the House of Corntoons.:in discussion o❑ the Army Estimates, that his opinions on Fi nancial Measures and Economy differed as widely from the sentiments of Mr. Hume as " the poles were asunder." That he smuggeled into and carried through the House, of Commons a Private Bill for imposing on his Uon6tt. tuents in the Out•Watd of St. George's, Hanover-square, a Rate of 300 per Cent., to be levied by an irresponsible hotly of Trustees That he, when out of Office, promised to bring in a Bill to reduce the Aristocraiical Qualification for Vestrymen, and, when in Office, refused to per!orin it. That he positively refuses to give a Pledge to the Elec tors, that he will vote for and support the R. peal of those obnoxious and oppressive Duties, the House and Window Taxes. M r. WADE moved the second resolution, which declared that the meeting, for various rea'ons therein detailed, were of opinion that Sir J. C. Hobhouse was not a proper person to represent them in Parliament. Mr. MooRE seconded it ; and gave an extended account of the proceedings of the electors with re spect to Sir J. C. Hobhouse, to show that Colonel Evans had not been put in nomination till the abso lute refusal of the Hon. Baronet to comply with the wishes of the electors had obliged them to come to the resolution of parting with him. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. CRIPPS moved the third resolution, stating Colonel Evans to be a fit and proper person, &c. In his address this gentleman accidentally sta , ed that he had:heard Sir J. C. Hobhouse was now willing to make up matters with the electors—(lt won't do I) —and do as they wished—(lt's too late !). The resolution was seconded, and carried by acclamation. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. It was one of a most respect able and orderly description. SOUTHWARK.-111R. W. .BROUGHAM. A public meeting of the electors of St. George's parish, resident in the eastern division of the above borough, and friends of Mr. Brougham, took place last evening at the King's Arms, Kent-road. This meeting, particularly towards its close, was, without exception, the most disorderly and tumultuous we ever witnessed. Mr. MARTYN took the chair, and said that as all must be anxious to hear their Hon. Representative, who had so fai , hfully discharged his Parliamentary duties towards them, and that as the eastern division was celebrated for being upon all occasions orderly, he hoped no speaker would be improperly inter rupted, and that the meeting would support him in discharging his office of Chairman. Mr. REtp proposed the first resolution, to the effect, that as Mr. Brougham had supported the Reform Bill, and other measures beneficial to the country, he was a fit and proper person to be one of the representatives of the borough of Southwark in a Reformed Parliament. Mr. JENNER seconded the motion, and very warmly eulogised Mr. Brougham's past conduct. He was still the same man, possessing the same principles as before and as the borough of South wark did not want to be represented by persons likely to promote anarchy and confusion, but those who would advocate measures of tranquil and progressive improvement, not only in the borough,hut through out the counny, no fitter representative than Mr. Brougham could be easily found. Mr. W. BROUGHAM then rose, amid loud cheers, mingled with hisses. He said he begged, before the resolution in his favour was put from the chair, to make a few observations, in order that the meet ing might kno w u p on w hat grounds he claim e d their support. He claimed a second time the ho nour of representing them, partly from what he had already done, and partly from what it was extremely probable he wool,' do hereafter. The Reform Bill was carried by the assistance of the people; by it Governments would be deprived of improper patro nage, always distributed at the public expense. For the future, Governments would stand or fall by their measures, and not by the rewards bestowed upon their supporters. He would characterize the lat Bill as a machine, the working of which depended upon tl►e candida.es now chosen. If good men were returned, the machine would work well ; if, on the contrary, Conservatives or pullers-down were seat into Parliament, it would work evil instead of good. It behoved ihe electors, then, to pitch upon men who were trustworthy, and not to rely solely upon pledges and promises, often made for unworthy purposes, but to look for persons of tried character who had done well, and were still disposed to do well. Nothing, he contended, was more childish than to suppose that the Reform Bill would heal all sores at once. There were a number of grievances to be got rid of, and no measure could he so sweep ingly efficacious as to destroy them at one fell swoop. One of his great fears was, that in the next Raba ment the people should think that things did not go on fast enough. As he before compared the Bill to a machine, he would say that lie preferred one which worked well, to that which worked fast. He, ! therefore, would advise the people to give it a fair and deliberate trial, and see whether it would not cause material alterations, which, in their turn, would lc id to others not so immediately wanted, and most diflirult to be suddenly effected. What a list of al terations to be made by this machine! There were the poor laws, both at home and in Ir.d,ind—there was Church reform—the corn laws—the East India and the Bank charters—the currency and the sla very questions. Let safe and proper men be chosen let them have credit for doing their best, and he did not despair, but the machine would get through the great works it had to accomplish. By this he did not wean to say, that persons who would obsti nately stand still should be chosen, but persons who wanted alterations because they were necessary, and no' for sheer al eration's sake. He had so fre quently expressed his opinions on several measures, that he was almost ashamed to reiterate them. He would do it, however, briefly. A reform in the Church was necessary,and it should be thorough and effective, for if not, the very stability of that Church was at stake. There were three essential matters connected with the Church which should be reformed. All pluralities should cease—all clergy men should reside en their benefices, and be allowed to hold not more than one living, The Church, in stead of being supported by tithes, should be by some proper substitute. Above all things, Church dignitaries should be deprived of their political power, and if they were, he thought it would be the hest means that could be devised to unite bickering and conflicting sects. All this he said as a sincere friend to the Church, and not as its enemy, An ELECTOR here asked the Honourable Candi date whether he did not think that every marl should pay his minister? and whether the Church. man ought to have advantages greater than the Dissenter ? Mr. BROUGHAM—From his opinions upon the leading points might be gathered those he held upon minor details. In the same way, without entering into all the interests concerned, he would say that he corn laws ought to be materially altered. Th.- protecting scale of duty should be such as to make bread cheap, without ruining the farmer. With respect to taxes, he considered that their improper imposition was the chief cause of having wages and prt,fi sso low. He did not mean to say that taxes could be done without; they were unwisely and unjustly levied by former legislators, and he would do every thing in his power to equalize them. He considered the assessed taxes hard and vexatious, particularly in London; and as he was a sufferer himself by them, it might he expected that he was no friend to them. He believed that the state of the revenue was so sound and htalrhy, that these latter taxes, with the tax on soap, might be either done away with or commuted for some other—for, per haps, a property tax._ . _ An ELECTOR—What do you think of the malt and hop tax ? Mr. BROUGHAM—As a lover of beer, he would say the tax was a bad one; and he wondered how it happened that it was nor already repealed. The same ELECTOR—WiII you pledge yourself to aim it ? Mr. BROUGHAM —You mean whether I shall lend a hand to help this tax off? Yes, certainly. The ELECTOR—We are glad to have one pledge from you. Mr. BROUGHAM—No, no, it is not a pledge, and if so construed take care lest it should be retracted. —(Laughter.) There was another question he would dismiss in a few words—namely, the ballet. If he found that when the results of the Reform Bill were known they did not protect the voter from all influence, whether high or low, though he did not like the ballot, he would deem himself bound to advocate it.—( A cry of "That's another pledge.") He then said that he thought Septennial Parlia ments too long, but was not prepared to state of what duration they ought to be. That depended upon circumstances ; it might be expedient to have them annual, biennial, or triennial. When the question was argued, he would vote for what was best according to his matured opinion. There was another subject upon which he felt a peculiar inte rest. He meant Ireland ; it was an embarrassing subject, but he felt sure that the present Govern ment would do its duty towards that unfortunate country, and relieve it from the miseries entailed upon it by preceding Governments.—(Cries of " The Whigs are as much in fault as anyone else.") No, the Whigs were not in fault; tithes, and the absence of landlords, were the great causes of mischief. An ELECTOR here asked, what do you say about the new police ? Mr. BROUGHAM—He heard of some instances in which the expenses of that establishment were too high. In one parish, the expense of the old police was 700/. a year, whereas now it was increased to 2,100/ ; and he knew of another parish in which, since the establishment of the new police, the rate: had been doubled. He should be glad to see the expense of the establishment reduced, or a better system of police introduced if that were possible. Before he sat down, he would say, on the matter of slavery, that if its abolition could be immediately brought about without anarchy and bloodshed, he would voce for the immediate abolition. He thanked the meeting for the patient hearing he had ob tained, and said, that if he was so fortunate as to he again elected, he would serve them as he had hither- to done, faithfully and honestly. Mr. BARNARD asked whether he would vote for the separation of Church arid State ? Mr. BROUGHAM said, that although he felt for the Dissenters being obliged to pay for the support of their own religion and that of the State too, yet he would candidly confess that he was not prepared to vote for the separation of Church and State.— (Groans and cheers, and a cry of " a Tory in Whig's clothing.") Mr. BARNARD being dissatisfied with the above answer, then proposed an amendment to the effect, That as the Hon. Candidate would make no pledges on divers weighty and important questions, the meeting did not deem him a fit and proper can didate." Mr. JUDGE seconded this motion, and said, amidst the greatest confusion, that the conduct of the Chairman at the meeting of Mr. Brougham's friends, held on Monday la't, at the Surrey Riding school, was most disgraceful. When an amend ment was proposed, he hesitated to put it, and left the meeting abruptly, with Mr. Brougham and his friends.—(Crie3 of " Off, off.") After this about six persons got successively on LAMBETH-MR. HA WES. A highly respectable meeting of the electors in the interest of Mr. Hawes took pare on Wednesday evening, at the Hoise and Groom, Walworth-road. Mr. BUCKLAND was voted into the chair. Mr. HAWES was received with very general ap plause. He said that it would be almost useless for him to repeat that he was not one who would soy way mar the effects of the late Reform measure.. If he refused to pledge himself upon other points, upon that one, at least, he pledged himself. With respect to Church reform, he maintained that it should stand on a spiritual basis, and that it would be safer from all danger, if it rested or► its ow.•n merits, than by being part of the St•+te, and sup , ported by Act of Parliament. In the law, he would support every measure that tended to bring about not cheap law—bur cheap justice. On the subject of education, he contended that it was of the deepest importance that it should be as widely ex tended among the people as poss►ble. Upon its ex tension depended the future prosperity of the couotry ; knowledge was power, as would be fully set forth when the people were so well instructed as to be able to distinguish bad from good government. There was, then, no measure for the promotion of education among the people that he would not be found the firm and zealous supporter of.—(Cheer-.) Ile frankly would confess that he was for Trienn'al Parliaments, as they would be a means of banging about mutual and frequent communications between the representati ve and the represented. Information and advice could thus be more frequently communi cated. With respect to taxation, he had considered it in all its bearings, and he would say, that nothing grieved hin► more than to see so large a portion wasted in the very collection of it. If the people had been hitherto properly represented, their repre sentatives would have imposed taxes more wisely, and laid them on property instead of upon the pro ductive classes of society. He knew it to be a fact, hat in collecting in Jamaica a certain revenue of 78,0004 a year, not less than 65 0001. were spent in the simple collection ! With respect to retrench ment, tt would be almost impossibl e for him to state seriatim his opioions; but upon one subject— namely, economy as regarded the army—he would do every thing to bring it about. The best way ro reduce the expenses of a standing army would be fur a Government to act liberally—to promote educa tion, and to abolish undue and unjust taxes; and to attach the people to it by kind and good measures rather than by compulsory means. He lid not hesitate to say that the house awl window tax was unjust, and unequal to a great extent, and if he had the honour of obtaining a seat in Parliament, he would use every effort to have it forrhwirh abolished. He considered that a graduated pro perty tax would go far in unfettering the springs of industry. With respect to the vote by ballot, he had no arguments against it, and would even Ire an advocate for it, if he saw that under the new B 11 an improper influence was exercised upon the electors. An ELECTOR here asked whether Mr. Hawes would disfranchise all parsons from being Justices of Peace ? Mr. HAWES was firmly convinced that clergymen were unfit to he intrusted with too much temporal power, and that he should do every thing he could to divest them of the possession of such improper influence. Another question was put to the Worthy Candi date on the subject of imprisonment for small debts. Mr. HAWES—He understood that matter was now under the consideration of Government, and as he certainly felt that a great deal of mischi e f arose from imprisonment for small debts, he would be happy to take up the matter. All he wanted was information, and not inclination, to remedy the law upon the point. Mr. STRONG proposed a resolution to the follow ing effect :—" That the meeting, feeling satisfied with the manly and straightforward manner in which the Honourable Candidate had that evening declared his sentiments, pledged themselves to pramote and secure his triumphant election." Mr. FARNELL seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. FARCEY moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man, after which the meeting separated. TREET COLOQUY.—“Cab, Sir ?"—" No." ..

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—Yesterday morn ing, JoHN ALLEN, a labourer in the employ of Mr. DIMPSEY, a builder, in Stepney, was passing through Green -street, when he saw the body of a young female in one of the unfinished houses, which, from the effects of the heavy rains which fell on the previous night, an d a quan garments, present e d a mos t trad esman , w h o li ves of t i i i t i,gp y oh st o ift f uel b at l po o p o et l ahre o a n nhcoe t h .O e s e respecta ble,oAusttear ted, that in the course of the night lie heard a man and woman quarrelling, and the latter ca lli n g out for assistance.
