She also, some time since, took a fancy 'o go to Van Diemen's Land, but when the ship vas taking the female adventurers on board she slipped off.

She observed that she should have starved if she had stuck to the truth; and who would not tell a lie or two to prevent so disagreeable an extremity ?

On Saturday an inquest was held at St. Bartho lomew's Hospital on the body of Eliza Mist, aged thirty-six. The deceased and her husband, who is a waterman, lodged at No. 5, Union-place, Black friars-road. On the evening of Saturday week, Mist came home intoxica , ed, and began abusing his wife. A lodger heard him say "he would do for her," and shortly after some one fell heavily on the floor, and the deceased said " Oh Tom, don't do it Mist then ordered her out of the room; and as she went, something was thrown which struck against the wall. The next day she took to her bed, and two days after she was removed to the hospital, where she died on Wednesday last. She told two of the nurses that her husband was in the habit of getting drunk and beating her. On Easter Tues day he struck her a blow on the forehead, since which she had been subject to firs. On the Satur day night her husband struck her on the back of the head with the heel of his boot. Before her death she fervently prayed God to forgive husband. Mr. Pennington, house surgeon, said the deceased died from concussion of the brain. He found no external marks; but this might be in consequence of a blister having been previously applied to the back of the head. He found the ventricles of the brain much distended, and the brain itself in a very soft state. These appearances were not of recent standing. A violent blow, under such circumstances, was likely to lead to a fatal termination. The dis tended state of the ventricles, which were filled with a transparent fluid, accounted for the fits which came on. The inquest was adjourned to Monday, and the husband, who declared he had never hurt his wife, was conveyed to Cie Compeer in custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. NOSEOLOGY—OR HOW TO TURN ONE'S NOSE TO ACCOUNT.—Two men, named John Dewey and John Croce, were charged with having disturbed the neighbourhood of Tower-hill by fighting. The cause of the quarrel, as it was no common one, we shall particularize. Devey, as it appears, gained celebrity by drink ing beer through his nose, an accomplishment which is called " snuffling the heavy," and has won several wagers by thus irreverently changing the uses for ' which Nature intended that noble feature. On Fri day evening Crete, who is a stranger to him, and has some talent in the same line, felt rather jealous of his fame, and expressed a doubt of his ability to " snuffle a pint clean," without taking it from his nos?, at the same time offering to run the heavy up his own konk without blowing a bit from it into the measure. A wager was the consequence, and um pires were appointed. Devey began and went on for some time in a very handsome style, occasionally addressing a friend and taking a bit of bread and cheese, as the beer flew up his nostrils. Be fore, however, he got t ivo-thirds through his task, he was seized with a violent fit of sneezing, in consequence of the difficulty with which a piece of match passed through, so that he failed. Crote then commenced. To the astonishment of every body in the public-house the beer quickly disappeared, and this wonderful snuffler contrived to whistle during the experiment, " Had I heart for falsehood framed." He was not, however, magna nimous enough to ),ear his victory with moderation but sneered at D eve y' s want of command over his nose, swore the po or man ' s " konk" wasn't worth a —, and never d eserve d to taste a drop of beer again, and use d ot h er provo ki ng l anguage. This naturally led to a quarre l, i n w hi c h a very singular fact came to light—the men struck violently at eaei other, but although each made the other's nose meek again, not a drop of blood issued from either. They bled at the mouth and ears, and other parts of the head, but their noses stood out pale and bloodless amidst the wreck of the surrounding features. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, this is certainly a very odd affair, and it is a pity that two men, who might divide the hemisphere of London between them as far as regards this singular way of drinking, should endeavour to disqualify each other. I suppose they derive their living from their noses.—(Laughter.) The policeman who took them into custody had reason to think that Devey supported his family through his nose at fairs and other public exhibitions. He knew nothing of Crote. Devey—Please you, my Lord, Crote acted un proper; for I am sure it was he as throwed the match in wot stopped my draught. Why, my Lord, I drinked two pints just afore that, and I done it so clean, that you or any other gentleman might a drinked after me. Crote—No, my Lord, I never meddled wi' none on it, and I would'nt a cared if there was half-a-dozen matches in mine. —(Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Are you both ready to give goad bail that you will not again disturb the neigh• bourhood ? The two men were quite unprepared, but would willingly be security for each other. The LORD MAYOR consented to take this secu rity, and the defendants went away friends. Before they parted from each other Crote set all Devey's pretensions at rest. In a tap-room, near tile Mansion-house, he laid a wager of a shilli ng that he would snuffle a glass of gin without winking. Up the gin went, and Crote held out his hand for the shilling. " No, (said the fellow who betted with hi m ), I d on ' t t hi n k it was gin. " There then," (s a id C ro t e , who had snuffled the spirits without swallowing it, and he squirted themouth ful into the eyes and mouth of the loser), " ---your buttons, y ou can smell it, and see i t, an d t a ste it al together, you nasty, insignificant, know-nothing \varmint." A young woman of very respectable and pre possessing appearance, named Anna Somerville Beau mont, was brought up under rather curious circum s,auces. She went about a week since to one of the rnas,ers of St. Paul's school, and by her state ment of having:received a good education, and as B OW- S TREET. Sarah Solomon:, a young and good-looking Jewess, who keeps a saleshop in Whitechapel, was brought up on suspicion of having received eight five-pound notes, ten silver table-spoons, a gold watch and seals, and other valuable property, the produce of a robbery committed in the chambers of James Tho mas Graves, Esq., a barrister residing at No. 2, Fig-tree -court, Temple, knowing the same to have been stolen. She was remanded for a week. Within the last two months upwards of forty sets of chambers in the different Inns have been broken open and robbed. HATT 02V- GARDEN. George Cooper, aged 38, a man well known at several of the minor theatres as Harlequin, was brought to this office in the custody of Brenckhurst, the Inspector, and Knott, a sergeant of the N. divi sion, charged with having attempted to commit an assault on the person of a child eight years of age, daughter of a Mr. Joseph Stride, of Chapel-place, Islington. Also with the like attempt on Elizabeth, aged eight, and Rebecca, aged six, daughters of Mrs. Sarah Blackwell, of Chapel-place. Rachel Stride stated that the prisoner enticed her into an uninhabited house near the Liverpool. road, where he gave her some pictures and three halfpence. The witness then described what fol lowed, which is too disgusting for publication. He then left her, having previously made her promise not to tell any one what had happened. On the Mon day following she again saw tbe prisoner, who treated her exactly in the manner he had done previously. Sergeant Knott proved having taken the prisoner into custody ; he was lurking about the fields in the Liverpool-road. Witness had since made inquiries, and had brought the two other children against the prisoner for a similar offence. There were many others who had been ill-treated by him, but were unable to attend. The two girls, Rebecca Blackwell and Elizabeth Blackwell, then deposed that the prisoner enticed them into an empty house on Tuesday last, and, after giving them some play-things, ill-treated them. Dr. Robertson, physician to the Islington Dispen sary, had examined the three children, who were labouring under a certain disease. He, however, was of opinion that the capital offence had not been completed. Witness had also examined the pri soner, who was labouring under the same disease. The prisoner made a defence which tended, if pos sible, to aggravate the offence. He said, with the greatest indifference, that the children seduced him to the crime. He was fully committed for trial. The parties were bound over to prosecute, and Mr. Ashby, the overseer of Islington parish, under took the prosecution. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Saturday Mrs. Sophia Horder, a fashionably attired female, about 35 years of age, who keeps an extensive establishment in the dress-making and millinery business, at No. 9, Hanover-street, Ha• nover-sqnare, was charged with purloining eighteen yards of riband from the shop of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, linen-drapers, Regent-street, and three ladies' worked net collars, valued at 41., the property of Mr. E. P. Jones, laceman, 268, Re gent-street. The prisoner was brought to the office at an early period of the forenoon, but it be ing suspected that some stolen property would be found at her residence, the examination was delayed until three o'clock, to afford time for an officer to search the prisoner's house. The tradesmen who had been robbed accompanied the officer. On the nature of their visit being made known, the young ladies, nearly a dozen in number, employed by Mrs. Horder, were thrown into an inconceivable state of surprise and alarm. A search took place, but no thing that could be identified was discovered. O n the prisoner being brought from the office " lock up," she was accompanied by her husband, who, we understand, is in a respectable line of business as a wine-cooper. The female was obliged to be sup ported in the presence of the Magistrates, and her husband was greatly agitated. John Orchard was in the employ of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, and about ten o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner looking at some ri bands; he suspected her, and watched her proceed ings ; a drawer', full of ribands was lying on the counter before her, and he perceived her put her hand in the drawer, take out something which he could not distinctly see, and then put her hand in the silk bag which she carried with her. On her leaving the shop witness followed her, and saw her enter the premises of Mr. Jones, in the same street. He waited till she came out, when he said to her that he thought she had got more than her own in her bag. She replied, that if such was the case she must have taken it in a mistake; at witness's request she accompanied him back to his employer's shop, where she took out of her bag eighteen yards of riband, worth about 10s.; witness sent for an officer and gave her into custody. John Andrews, the officer, on receiving charge of the prisoner asked her how it was that she came to do such an act, when she replied that she did it in an unguarded moment, and was very sorry, and hoped the gentleman would forgive her. Witness searched her bag, and found three ladies' worked collars in it, which he afterwards ascertained be longed to Mr. Jones, of Regent-street. Mr. Jones had frequently seen the prisoner in his shop; she was in the habit of coining about twice a week; she had made a purchase this morn ing, which was ordered to be sent to her residence; the witness identified the net collars as his property. The prisoner, on being asked if she had anything to state, replied in the negative. The husband here stepped forward, apparently much agitated. He said that his wife had carried on a respectable business for many years, and her character would bear the strictest inquiry. Her business lately had considerably increased, and her exertions to fit out a lady for the East Indies re cently had been so considerable, that her mind be came confused, and she hardly knew what she was about. He would stake his life on her integrity. The MAGISTRATE said he should not be doing his ditty were he not to commit her. The prisoner's husband did not appear to be aware of the magistrate's decision, and he made inquiries acs to what was to be done with his wife. On being iziformed that she was to be committed to Newgate, he exclaimed in a tone of mental agony, " Good God, "'t possible ?" He then left the magistrate's room, declari ng t h at h e was certain his wife was uneon .eiens of what she was doing when she took the property! Saturday Mr. Grant, the gentleman who has rigured lately before the public in consequence o' omoying and threatening Mrs. Humby, the actress vas brought up on a Judge's warrant for repeatinr tis threats to the above-named lady, under the fol• !owing circumstances:— Some time back, upon a misunderstanding taking Glace between the above-named parties, Mr. Grant was charged at the office with threatening to shoo' 11rs. Hamby on her leaving the Olympic Theatre, Ind on that occasion Mr. Grant was held to bail. He, however, renewed his threats, and anothet warrant was issued. The officer since had not been able to find him, and he was indicted. Yesterday, the officer discovered where he lived, and, by a little finesse, succeeded in apprehending him, when Ephraim Bond, Mrs. Humby's friend, attended to identify Mr. Grant on her behalf. Being a Judge's warrant, it was necessary to con vey him before a Judge, and the parties accordingly went before Mr. Justice Taunton, when Mr. Grant admitted himself to be the person described. Not being provided with bail, a commitment was ordered to be made out, and he was accordingly conveyed to the New Prison, Clerken well, and or. dered to give 24 hours' notice of bail to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, more cape- Cially towards Mrs. Humby. A stout athletic he-beggar, dressed with dramatic nicety as a " British tar," was charged with being a common vagrant, and with having annoyed pas sengers at the West end of the town by his rude demands for relief. The appearance of the fellow was highly "nautical"—clean duck trousers and blue jacket, check shirt, secured with the handkerchief tied in a sailor's knot, leaving his brawny chest ex posed, and exhibiting a pair of' formidable black whiskers, reaching quite round his throat—and alto gether he presented the beau ideal of a British tar which Tom Cooke himself could not have sur passed. The fellow, in order to preserve the " keeping" of the character gave his name Jack Strongarm,—and, from the evidence of the officer who apprehended him, he was well entitled to it, for it had required the assistance of three stout men to effect his introduction to the Magistrate. " Well," said Mr. CONANT, " you cannot be per mitted to beg aboutithe public streets in this manner." " Beg ! what, Jack Strongarm beg !" said the tar, affecting a look of honest indignation ; " Lord love your Honour, nobody never cotched me axing for nothing; why, sooner 'an beg, I'd submit to be keelhauled every day for a month." Officer—l can swear I saw him ask an alms from a gentleman's footman. " Avast there, mate," said the British tar— " don't pay out your jawing tackle so fast. Your Honour, I was bearing up for the Tower, to get my certificate of service, which I got from his Ho nour Admiral Fleming, properly signed, when a gentleman telegraphed me, which signal I answered, and he dropped a copper into my fist. It arnt no crime, I hope, for a British sailor as has been 20 years in his Majesty's sarvice, and has fought hard for Old England, to take a copper, without axing, when he arnt got a shot in the locker." Mr. CONANT-1 must commit you for 21 days as a common vagrant. " Oh Lord, oh Lord !" bellowed the British tar, pulling out a pocket-handkerchief and wiping his eye—" hang me up to the yard-arm, your Honour —order me six dozen with the cat—but don't go for to hurt the character of a British sailor by clap pin,/ him in the bilboes as a wagrant. Don't go for to disgrace an old man-of-war's-man, what has got his discharge from the Caledonia, and has fought many a hard battle under Lord Emilius Beauclerc. The " tears" of the "British tar," and his ap parent sincerity, caused the Magistrate to waver, when a gentleman whe was accidentally present, stepped forward, and recognised" the tar" to be the individual who had repeatedly importuned him for relief in the morning, and who had been for some time past a nuisance to the neighbourhood. This evidence caused the " tar" to drop down on his luck, and, having pumped all the " salt water" from his " upper works," he left the bar consigning the " eyes and limbs,' of all whom it might concern to a place which must not be mentioned to " ears polite." W ORSHIP- S TREE T. Henry Brown, with several aliases, was further examined on a charge of stealin g from the dressing table of Mr. Desborough, in the Burlington Hotel, a gold watch, &c. The publicity given to the previous examination caused the office to be crowded with hotel-keepers and others whose premises had been robbed. It was proved that the prisoner had pledged Mr. Desborough's watch and seals for 61. at Mr. Cassel's, in Old-street-road, which made a complete case against him. Persons from Long's Hotel attended to inspect the property found at the prisoner's lodgings, but could not identify, among the vast quantify of va luables, any that had been stolen from a lady at that hotel. A waiter, however, stated, that while wait ing upon Lord Torrington, a person came down stairs with a large bundle of clothes, and, joining another person, they went into the Clarendon Hotel. In the evening it was discovered that a gentleman's dressing-room had been robbed. He was confident the prisoner was one of the men. The proprietor of Hatchett's Hotel said his pre mises had been robbed three times within the last three months. Mr. BROUGIITON, the Magistrate, at this stage of the examination, should be stifling the ends of jus tice if he sent the prisoner for trial at the present session, from the number of charges against him. He was remanded for a week. The Conservative Club, Clique, are indus— triously propagating, through every channel to which they have access, that some serious unknown and unintelligible blunder has been committed in the English Reform Bill, now the law of the land, which will inevitably prevent its working well. The report is all fudge. A Mr. LYON, a boat-builder, in Lambeth, and one of his men, died in a few hours of the cholera on Thursday. Letters received from Plymouth mention the breaking , out th ere o f t hi s malady. THE CuouANs.—These brigands of the French Revolution never fought the Republicans in the field; hut distinguished themselves by the massacre and plunder of small parties, sacking defenceless villages, and robbing diligences and travellers. The brave Vendeans, who fought with a valour that excited the admiration of their Republican conquerors, should not be confounded with these bands of robbers and murderers. DREADFUL BURNING.—On Saturday night, between the hours of ten and eleven, the vicinity of Wed don-s.reet, near Regent -street, w is alarmed by the screams of fire ! front No. 13, adjoining Mr. PLATTER'S, the undertaker. It appeared that Mr. EVE, coachman to Mr. WESTERN, Of B.md-street, tailor, had been making some compos, for cleaning the harness, and that on putting in the turpentine. it blazed up, when M rs . EV E attempted to extinguish the flames, which, however, soon communicated to her dress, until she became one mass of moving fire. Flurrying to the back parlour, from the front one, where she resided, and finding the door shut against her, she stood for some moments at the foot of the staircase, and then rushed r i g h t i nto t h e street, burn i ng and shrieking. 11.-re she was met by a person of the name of DAVID EVANS, who stripped off his coat and threw it around her, hoping to extinguish the flames, but in vain. Horrible to say, so shockingly was Mrs. EVE burnt that she was taken to St. George's Hospital, where she expired in excruciating pain about t en o'clock y esterday morning. She hail been in remarkably high spirits the whole of Saturday, and had just supped with her husband, who likewise was burned, though not dangemusly, when the accident took place. Engines 80011 arrived o n the s p o t, a nd by the exertions of 11 WATKINS, the landlord of Sun, at the corner of Lei cester-street, near the Quadrant, the furniture of the on tunate couple was rescued from destruction. As we predicted last a eek, Mr. Tennyson elected to stand for the newly-created borough Of Lambeth, in preference to Stamford, where he I:ained imperishable laurels. 'We deeply regret this decision, as we are satisfied Mr. Tennyson would have been returned for Stamford triumphantly. He, however, thought differently, and he has, with great propriety, and from a wish not to injure the cause. put forth the annexation of St. Martin's as the sole reason for his so thinking. To say more would have opened a door which all who wish to see Stamford free would be glad to keep shut. On Monday an immense meeting of the Blue Free and Easy took place at the Carpenters' Arms—the electors being eager to learn what was to be done in this crisis. Mr. Lumby took the Chair, and Mr. Adams the Vice-Chair; and after a few of the usual toasts, Mr. R. Newcomb, in proposing the healths of the new electors of St. Martin's, justified the course which Government had pursued in joining St. Martin's to Stamford, and said the loss to the cause would be but twenty votes. Alr.Northhouse thought the loss to the cause would ,be still les., but could not join in the justification of Govern ment. He considered that Government had de parted from, instead of acting under, their general rule in the annexation—Stamford having more than the required number of 101. houses, and St. Mar tin's being in another county, and no further joined to Stamford than Gateshead was to Newcastle, the union of which was resisted by Government. Mr. Newcomb then in a lengthened speech, which was much cheered, proposed Mr. Joseph Parkes, of Bir mingham, as a fit person to succeed Mr. Tennyson. Mr. Northhouse followed on the same side, and enumerated the signal services Mr. Parkes had al ready rendered to Stamford. The meeting was exceed ingly enthusiastic, and the spirit of the people ova , evidently on the increase. It being the general opinion that no time should be lost, two gentlemen set off for London to see Mr. Parkes, and, if possible, return with him. On Wednesday they returned, and called a meeting of the electors, when they reported that Mr. Parkes, from private and professional considerations could not become a candidate for Stamford, but strongly recom mended Capt Gregory, of Stivic Hall, in the county of Warwick—a relation of the eminent London Banker and Reformer—Mr. Grote, and a Magistrate, and leading Reformer of W a r w i c k s hi re . M r . Parkes pledged himself to come with Mr. Gregory to at tend the registration of the votes, and the election-- and to lend every assistance in his power. Mr. Parkes returned the following Address to the requisition sent to him : " TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF STADIFORD. " London, Monday Night, July 2, 1832. " GENTLEMEN,—As I am leaving town to-morrow morning, I have scarcely a minute to acknowledge the ex tremely flattering and grateful invitation conveyed by your deputation to me to become a candidate for the borough of Stamford in the first Reformed Parliament. I much regret that my private duties, and my present circumstances compel me to decline the honour of representing a town, to be elected by which, I can sincerely say, would be otherwise a more proud and just gratification than my highest ambition could aspire to. I could not now go into Parliament without a serious injury to that pecuniary independence which I esteem as the foundation of public character and influence. " I shall, however, always consider the invitation of the independent and public-spirited burgesses of Stamford as a grateful approval of my humble individual efforts in the cause of the borough, and of the memorable and in comparable contest which has so gloriously triumphed in the prostration of an oligarchy so long the plunderers and oppressors of our country. But we have still much to do to obtain the great ends of a reform of the representation ; and I take the liberty of recommending to you Mr. Ar thur Francis Gregory, of Stivic Hall, in Warwickshire, an intelligent and highly informed Warwickshire Reformer, to whom the common cause is greatly indebted. If the Burgesses of Stamford should hour him by an invita tion, I pledge myself that he Will stand or fall with them, and poll the last man—that, if beaten, he will come again —that, if elected, be will prove an honour to the borough representation, and of eminent use to the country. He will support only a liberal and honest Administration ; he will advocate a repeal of the Septennial Act—a wise Re form of the Financial, Ecclesiastical, and Corporate sys tems—the abolition of slavery, and of useless places and undeserved pensions—and the promotion of every practi cal and desired Reformation. " I shall be most happy to give him my free and zealous services in canvassing the borough immediately—in at tending the registration of every voter in the town—and standing by him and the cause of emancipating the ho rough of Stamford from aristocratic domination, till the poll has registered the last voter. " On your parts, I confidently look for an independent support of such a candidate, and that you will promote the utmost economy in the conduct of a contest, without which your ultimate emancipation can never be effected. " I remain, Gentlemen, with the most grateful feelings of attachment and respect fur the independent Burgesses of Stamford, " Your obliged Servant, " JOSEPH PARKES." Mr. NORTIMOUSE strongly regretted that Mr. Parkes had come to the decision of not standing, as few men could possess such peculiar qualifications for representing Stamford. Mr. NEwcoMB strongly supported Mr. Gregory, and it was ultimately determined that Mr. Parkes and Mr. Gregory should be met by a procession on Saturday evening (to-morrow), at their entrance from Warwickshire into Stamford. A requisition was most numerously signed to Mr. Gregory in the room, and Mr. Stinson despatched with it to Bir mingham. The general meeting having been dissolved, the Blue Committee assembled, when all the necessary preparations were made to begin the struggle in the most determined manner. General Johnson, who is an intimate friend of Mr. Gregory, has very handsomely offered to aid him personally in the canvass, and by every other means in his power. Mr. Tennyson has also offered to do the same. The Burghley party, who had rested their hopes of success principally on an apprehended schism of a small but influential party among the Blues, had Mr. Tennyson determined to take his chance of being returned, will now see that this their last hope is fled, and that all parties will now work together with ardour and unanimity. Mr. Gregory, on receiving the requisition, ac cepted the invitation, and forwarded on Friday the following excellent and specific address to the elec tors :- " To the independent Electors of the borough of Stam ford, and the pariah of St. Martin, Stamford Baron, in the county of Northampton. " GENTLEMEN,---I have the honour to acknowledge your highly flattering and respectable requisition to me, to offer myself as a candidate to represent your interests in the Reformed Parliament. " I venture to aspire to this high distinction, and to aid you in the assertion of your rights as British freemen, al— though personally a stranger to you, because I am in formed that my political principles and constant advocacy of the cause of Reform in the county of Warwick are not unknown to you. " It is the first duty of a candidate to avow to a British constituency distinctly and fully his unreserved opinions on all great political questions. " I am an earnest advocate for the repeal of the Sep tennial Act, and for limiting the duration of Parliaments to a period not exceeding three years—for perpetuating the scot and !ore votes—and for further improving the re ,t, c , entative system by insuring the fre•dom and purity elections. " If honoured by your suffrages, 1 will strenuously sup. " I distinctly avow that I will' not resort to any of those base modes of obtaining yoUr suffrages which would equally degrade you as Electors, and me as your Candidate. " If I should be honoured by being elected your repre sentative, I pledge myself to devote my best energies and most unremitting attention to the general welfare of our country, and to your local interests. " I will immediately canvass every voter; I will attend his registration under the Reform Act, and remain on your hustings till the last man is polled. " I shall have the pleasure of paying my respects to yott on Saturday; and believe ma, my fellow-countrymen, that the honour of a requisition from the electors of a borough who have made such generous and disinterested sacrifices and exertions in behalf of the liberties of England, will ever be gratefully esteemed by " Gentlemen, your faithful Servant, " ARTHUR FRANCIS GREGORY. " Stivic Hall, Warwickshire, July 5, 1832." On Saturday evening Mr. Gregory, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Parkes, entered Stamford, being met at the Empingham turnpike, two miles from the borough, by a large procession of gentlemen 01i horseback and electors, and crowds of the towns people, with numerous banners and bsnds of music. The procession entered the borough, received with every demonstration of political enthusiasm (blue colours and ringing of bells, flags suspended on the Church steeples), and perambulated the whole town for two hours. General Johnson, of Witham, was seated in Mr. Gregory's carriage. On the final resting of the procession at the Teinlysott Arms, the head-quarters of the " Blue interest," Mr. R. NEWCOMB, jun., the proprietor of the Lin colnshire Mercury, addressed the burgesses from the windows of the inn, and introduced the new can didates, stating his confident expectations of the success of the independent cause. Mr. GREGORY, on addressing the multitude, was received with loud cheers, and expressions of tri umpb. He said, that though a stranger in person, he trusted that his political character in the public efforts of Warwickshire for the common cause were not unknown to them; that the interest of the pub- Fe-spirited electors of Stamford was that of every English Reformer; and that he felt as such long identified with their well-known struggles to escape the usurpations of the House of Burleigh. He did not wish to make this a personal or vituperative contest ; he would not apply unjust or injurious epithets to the conduct of the Noble family which had so long held the electors in thraldom, but no terms could too strongly characterize the illegal in terference of a Peer of Parliament in elections, or the modes by which the voice of the people of Stamford had been, till the last election, stifled and destroyed. His address would inform them of the principles on which he (Mr. Gregory) presumed to request their suffrages and the high honour of repre senting a borough which had made such noble efforts for its political emancipation. He then adverted to the various points of his address—his advocacy of :be repeal of the Septennial Act—the perpetuation of the scot and lot votes—financial retrencl ment—the abolition of useless places and si necures, and undeserved pensions—the extinc tion of negro slavery—the necessity of a sys tem of national education—the reform of cor porate abuses—the revision of the Corn Laws and Ecclesiastical system, and other important poli tical questions. He stated his decided opinions in favour of the ballot, as essential to the purity and freedom c f elections, and vitally necessary for the protection of the Burgesses of Stamford. He advA•ted to the con mental struggles for liberty, and the important e of maintaining a liberal Government to redress the cruel - wrongs of Poland, and to foster the rising spirit of freedom in Europe. Mr. Gregory condo led a long and eloquent address by pledging him self to the political opinions of his address, but claiming the independent right of exercising his du ties as a legislator. He would not for a moment be lieve that the effect of the great measures of Reform could be to return to slavery the electors of Stam ford, who had once freed themselves from political and aristocratic domination. He then exhorted them to respect the law; to maintain order; to al low those who honestly voted against them the liberty of franchise they claimed for themselves, and t o pity, not insult those, who, perhaps, from their hearts Reformers, were from circumstances unable to resist corruption and illegal influence. [Mr. Gre gory's speech was interrupted with frequent expres sions of satisfaction and loud cheers.] Mr. PARKES then thanked the electors for the honour of the offer of their representation to him on he retirement of their friend, Mr. Tennyson ; but after the great personal and professional sacrifices of he last two years in the great national contest for the amendment of the representation, he was obliged to return exclusively to his private and professional duties. He entertained the opinion, that no one could honestly serve them who was not peeuliltrly independent; and although his studies and opinions were strongly political, he would acquire pecuniary independence before he would be tempted to engage in the duties of a representative. No other local cause but that of Stamford, and his friendship for Mr. Gregory, could have induced him to make an exception from a general rule he had laid down for himself, of a greater abstraction in future from public politics. But he should never regret any humble services he might have rendered to Stamford of Re form; the great vital question of the last eighteen months had demanded every possible sacrifice. lle then alluded to the scandalous state of the corporate sy , tem of England—its utter pervasion from its original and popular purposes—the necessity of a thorough revision and extention of municipal insti tutions, and his confidence that tile present liberal ad ministration would make it a first object of their COll - in the first Session of a reformed Parlia ment. The people wanted free elections in lieu of he close, corporate, in-and-in choice—municipal “Ilicers respected, not despised and hated--a good old civil cons t a b u l ar y i n stead of military force, to -ecure life and property—and the civil and criminal jurisdictions of ihe towns purified and extended. Ile appealed to Bristol, where the corporation did ,lot do what they ought to have done; and to other local corporations, where that was done which Inzglir not to have been done. The municipal in • itutions, corrupt and unsuited to the times, were holly without moral or legal force. He then re ,urned them thanks for their pledged support of tr. Gregory. He had no doubt of their trium ,hant success; but be the issue what it might, 'ley would contend to the last moment of the poll. le deprecated any personal hostility in the ap -o:wiling contest; they had a far higher object, I the eves of the whole kingdain would be iixeJ the spirit and good conduct of the independent .I,ecors of Stamford. lie could riot believe that
