The tide is strongly in favour of Mr. Wonenouss, hut his friends must not relax. -The contest will be one of the most severe ever known. Mr. WoDE HOUSE was proposed by Mr. MASON ; Mr. PRATT by Mr. Sournwst.t..—Mr., WOOEHOUSE spoke with great animation and eloquence. Mr. PRATT, Who is much advanced in life, spoke briefly, and not in an audible tone. Mr: COKE canvassed on Saturday. The populace arc much inflamed against him, perhaps indeed too much, at least on the subject of the CORN BILL. Be was roughly treated. Mr. PRATT'S Committee have very unwisely published bills, stating that Taxation is the cause of the high price of Bread, and that half what every man pays for a loaf is taxes. Mr. Wong nooses friends have most honourably abstained from using the slightest argument of this nature, which they might easily have done, the Corn Bill being a pregnant subject. State of the Poll at the last Return (Four o'Clock, May 9.) Mr. WoDunotisE - - 622 Mr. PRATT - v. - - - 379 TRADE OF WATCHMAKERS. Mr. 13UTTERWORTH, last night, in the House of Commons, in reference to the TRADE of WATCH' MAKERS, moved, that there be laid before the [louse an Account of Licences granted for selling Gold or Silver Plate in Great Britain for the last ten yenrs, distinguishing the number and amount for each year, anti also distinguishing the Licences granted for the sale of goods or wares, contain ing under two ounces of gold, or under thirty ounces of silver ; which was ordered. We understand, in explanation of the motion, that about two years ago the Duty on Licences to sell Gold anti Silver Plate was doubled ; in consequence of which some of the small shop keepers in the country have ceased to take out any Licences, which, with other causes, has tend ed to injure the sale of watches. The present distress of the Watchmakers in elerkenwell, Coventry, and Lancashire, demands every attewion. The object of Mr. BYTTRII• won Ta's motion erir a return of the Licences for Iling Plate is, we find, to ascertain their pro. duce, and to obtain relief, if practicable, for a most ingenious and deserving body of manufac turers. .. t 1 , --.1 S tratiollat-ii0771774.--71 '...e "' l "' i; ' 1 " Cll; ‘ ‘ 61/ '(lllLi t me i t .

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. CASTLEBAR, MAY 12.—A very distressing accla dent, of an awful nature and deplorable extent, occurred on the night of Friday last, at Nen - port, in this County, and has involved . in gloom and-mi. sery . almost every family in that town and neigh. bourhooll It appears that some oft he young people ofthe piece had associeted fur theporposeapei form - inga play, and were accommodated with upper sloe ry of a new horse belonging to Mr. Denis Holm), to which.some were admitted upon paying a mere trifle, and great numbers had gratuitous access The consequence was, shat the floor was unable to sustain toe crowd tliat collected, and the joists gave way at the end of the room where the au« dieoce was seated, those at the opposite end con tinuing firm in the wall— The whole company thus tell down upon the second story, into a nar rower space than they had occupied above,and this floor having also yielded to the weight, they were precipitated into a gateway below. tiere as may be well supposed, a dreadful scene ensued-- the gates were closed, and all was darkness, until the frightful screams of those within alarmed those abroad - . After some hesitation, and Subsequent difficulty, the outside gate was btoken open, and it was then discovered that three persons were killed upon the spot, and nearly 100 injured in a greater or less degree. One of those who were killed in the house was John Duff, Esq. late of Newry, a INilagistrete of the County of Down and two of the adjacent Counties, who retired, after his failure in a re spectable branch of trade, upon a visit to a friend in this county, and was the occupant, at the time of his decease (in the absence of the Rev. Thomas Mahon) of the Glebe Cottage at Newport. This Gentleman was much esteemed, and is greatly re• gretted. He was very corpulent: on Friday morn• ing,the day of his death,we understand he weighed 20 stone. Another of the deceased was daughter to Lieut. Kearns; of the 68th Light Infantry ; and the third was Mary Philbin, daughter to a shoemaker of the name of Sylvester. A woman, named Murdangh, who has suffered an amputation of the leg, and is otherwise miierably mangled, is, we are informed, altogether in a hopeless state. Amongst the wounded are, Mrs. Kearnsoeve rid of whose ribs are broken ; Miss Davis, of Mullawn, who has suffered in the same way ; the Her. Mr. Potter, Protestant Curate; Mr. John Davis, of the South Mayo Militia, and t‘vo sisters ; Mrs. Archbold, who has her collar-bone broken; Mr. James Wilson, &e. , THE GRAN) PEDESTRIAN MATCH.
