ELECTION INQUEST.—Last week Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Goose and Gridiron upon the late election of the city of London. The worthy coroner sat upon himself for two hours, and, after mature de liberation, returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity. —Punch. ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION.— An Act was passed on the 22d ult., (10th and 11th Victoria, chap. 98), to amend the law as to Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction in England. Under this Act the functions of the several Diocesan Courts in England, which have been suspended, are to commence operation on the Ist of November. It is declared by the preamble that much inconvenience ensues from the continual suspension of the courts. GROUSE.—We are given to understand that the grouse on the Westmoreland hills will, in the ensuing shooting season, be found plentiful and strong on the wing, and that excellent sport is anticipated.—Kendal 111 erclo y. The Prince de Canino, son of Lucien Bonaparte, arrived on the 26th ult. at Stockholm. The Prince is cousin to the King of Sweden by his marriage with a niece of the Queen Dowager. MAGAZINES.—(CONTINUED.) THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. The number opens with an excellent article on " Irish Ballad Poetry," in which some beautiful trans lations are given from the old bards of the Green Island. The old ballad of " The Coolin," written when the coolin, or long flowing ringlets, on which the Irish pride themselves, had been prohibited under heavy penalties, is given from the pen of Mr. Fer guson, and some of the stanzas are of very great beauty. The ode on " The Ruins of Donegal Castle," translated by Mr. Mangan, is a composition of much simplicity and pathos. There is an exquisitely beau tiful ballad " Anna Grace," also from the pen of Mr. Ferguson, which we should gladly extract, but that its length forbids insertion. It is of the same class with Crofton Croker's ballad of " Cormac and Mary," with which our readers must be familiar. "The ake of the Absent," by the late Gerald Griffin, is founded on a custom of the Irish peasantry, who, when any member of the family has been lost at sea, or dies away from home, celebrate his obsequies as if the dead body was present. It is a truly national ballad, and worthy of an attentive perusal. " The Irish Exiles," too, by M'Dermott, is beautifully written. There are also two translations from Carolan—the first (by Mr. Furlong) is said to have been the earliest production of the Irish bard. We will permit our readers to judge for themselves. It is addressed to Bridget Cruise, the object of the blind poet's first love : " Oh! turn thee to me, my only love, Let not despair confound me; Turn! and may blessings from above In life and death surround thee. This fond heart throbs for thee alone, Oh, leave me not to languish; Look on those eyes whence sleep bath flown, Bethink thee of my anguish. My hopes, my thoughts, my destiny, All dwell—all rest, sweet girl, with thee. " Young bud of beauty, for ever bright, The proudest must bow before thee; Source of my sorrow and my delight, Oh! must I in vain adore thee. Where, where through earth's extended round, Where may such loveliness be found? Talk not of fair ones known of yore— Speak not of Deirdre the renowned, She whose gay glance each minstrel hailed; Nor she whom the daring Darden bore From ber fond husband's longing arms; Name not the dame whose fatal charms When weighed against a world prevailed: To each come fleeting beauty inivlit fall— Lovely, thrice lovely might they be, But the gifts and graces of each and all Are mingled, sweet maid, in thee. " How the entranced ear all fondly lingers On the turns of thy thrilling song— How brightens each eye as thy fair white fingers Fly lightly o'er the chords along. The noble, the learned, the aged, the vain Gaze on the songstress, and bless the strain. How winning, dear girl, is thine air; How glossy thy golden hair. Oh, loved one, come back again, With thy train of adorers about thee; Oh! come, for in grief and in gloom we remain— Life is not life without thee. " My memory wanders, my thoughts have strayed, My gathering sorrows oppress m eee— maid Oh ! look on thy victim, ght peerless , Say one kind word to bless me. Why, why on thy beauty must I dwell, When each tortured heart knows its power too well; Or why will I say, that favoured and blessed Must be the proud heart that bore thee? Oh! dull is the eye, and cold the breast That remains unmoved before thee." " Another Evening with the Witchfinders" relates the cases of Jane Brooks and Julian Cox, both of whom were executed, without confession, in Somer setshire. We have also some interesting accounts of Scotch and Irish witches, and also in Sweden. The second and concluding number of "Life in the Mountains of Arcadia," is given. Poor Spiro and Xanthi were left in a terrible condition during the Greek hunt. They make a most daring attempt at escape, taking with them " Effendi," the favourite horse of the old Aga, which is, fortunately, successful. They are, however, in danger of perishing, by a more lingering death, from starvation, in the mountai ns, a danger which is greatly increased by the escape of Effendi from poor Xanthi, in whose care he was left, while her husband was reconnoitering. They at length find themselves in the neighbourhood of Greek brigands, headed by "Gogos," the most cruel and bloodthirsty of all the k lefts. Xanthi, however, declares that she can pacify the terrible bandit, and making Spiro conceal himself, she fearlessly ap proaches. She is about to be at once killed, but having succeeded in obtaining a hearing, she tells a story of the preservation of a kleft by a child—the kleft being Gogos—the child herself. After this it is needless to say that the hus band and herself are most cordially wel comed and harboured. Subsequently she falls into the hands of Fehim, the terrible negro of Kyamil Bey, but is spared, in order to be sold in the slave-market, where Gogos, disguised as a Turk, purchases and restores her to the loving Spiro ; the remainder of their days is spent as klefts in " the Cave of the Nymphs" The first part of "An Irish Election in the time of the Forties," from the graphic pen of William Carleton, is of peculiar interest at the present time. The town of Ballyticklem is convulsed with the contest for the county representation be tween Mr. Egoe, an emancipator and advocate for popular rights, and Mr.Vanston, a Tory and Orange man ; they are, however, " arcades ambo," or black guards both. The speeches of the candidates are given with rather too much prolixity, and it is not until towards the end of the chapter that we are in troduced to the " fighting friend," the " Intimidation, the Personation, and the Bribery Committees." We can conceive what it will grow to under Carleton's pen in the next number. " America and its Reali ties ;" " The Death Chant of King Regner Lod brok," a spirited translation of a song, said to have been composed in We ninth century, and of consider able celebrity ; " Horne Gregorianm," an account of Rome during the Pontificate of the :late Pope ; and ,` Wayfaring Sketches among the Greeks and Turks," conclude a most admirable number of this excellent magazine. THE OXFORD AND CAZIIB.RIDGE REVIEW. The first article this month, on " Theories of 3 - us- tification," involves one of the most disputed polemi cal questions, and although it may be deeply interest ing in private, is hardly calculated for the pages of a daily journal. " Protestant Vestries" deplores the spirit in which the parochial meetings are now con ducted. The writer desires that they should be made to perform, in some measure, the duties of a local government, to be held every week, and deciding on the fit appropriation of the weekly or monthly alms of the congregation, the care and comfort of the sick, the due and constant employment of the healthy, the education of the young, the proper relaxation and amusement of all the poorer members of the com munity, and the mitigation of the poor. law, when it presses, as it often must, on the poor. " Civilization and Christianity " laments the defective education of the humbler classes, and points out the various in fluences by - which they are injuriously acted on. ,` The Churches of London," by Ridley, contains an account of Westminster Abbey, at the consecration of the four new colonial bishops, on last St. Peter's day.. This is the longest article in the number, and, as might be expected, contains a minute detail of all the ceremonies on that occasion. " A Few 'Words to Country Parsons touching the Election for the Uni versity of Oxford" contains a severe attack on Mr. Round and his claims to represent the University in Parliament, and pointing out the consequences of his success. The result of the election, however, has ren dered these speculations unnecessary. The author, however, publishes them, because, as he says in the postscript, they will have a bearing on other contests, and even on their immediate subject may have an ex post facto interest. " Church matters in Madeira,' is a statement of the case of Mr. Lowe, resident chaplain in the island for fourteen years, and in which a severe attack is made on the Governments of Lords Aberdeen and Palmerston. The remainder of the number consists of short re views on various subjects, and the usual university intelligence. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE.

We cannot deny ourselves the ple asure of giving it to our readers : " Amidst a gallant host who thronged dread Vimiero's field, And sternly fought to win or fall—they were not drilled to yield, Brave Stewart well his lesson conned, as Scotia's scholars dare, For schooled were all, and perfect each, in their fierce task of war. " A Highland piper, Stewart stood, while round him raged the fray, And cheered his tearless comrades on with warlike roundelay; The gath'ring,' and ' The Campbells come,' above the cannons' roar, Swelled loudly forth, and each one grasped his ancestor's claymore. - - " Full early that brave laddie fell below with shattered limb, But wounds were nought, and agony seemed less than nought to him; For boldly he defied the blow, and scorned the ignoble rear, Stern duty from his breast had barr'd the coward sense of fear! " Down on a bank beside the storm that flew unceasing b, The y hardy soldier now reclined and nursed his quiv'ring thigh ; 'lcan na longer lads,' he cried, gang wi' ye to the fray, _ But deil burn my saul if ye shall music want to-day! " " Then seized again the thrilling pipes, his soul was in his strains, And ' Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled' reboiled their northern veins ; While Draw the Sword,' proud ' Scotland,' now with lightning flash anew, At once unleashed those eager hounds, away they dash ing flew I "Now shrill and wild the Pibroch' screamed, as fierce the combat ran, And each heart bounding 'neath the plaid did honour to its clan ; But hark ! that shout, 'tis Janot flies —then loudly Stewart threw Those stirring strains around, Ilurra for the bonnets of ' true blue r The field was won, aye, nobly won, and Wellington that day, Engrafted un his ample wreath another blooming bay ; But surely not less lustrous shone the wreath that Stewart wore, For brightly glanced his garland 'neath its blush of Highland gore ! "A cheer, a cheer for the Highland lad, for none can better claim A Briton's ringing thanks than he who bore that kingly name ; Oh ! may a cry like his resound when next Britannia bleeds, And equal valour nerve the hearts who fight when Bri tain needs !"

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at their offices, 61, Moor gate-street ; Mr. Thomas, the deputy-chairman, in the absence of the chairman, took the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The SECRETARY read the directors' report, of which the following is an abstract:— •• • • " After lamenting the occurrence' of the accident at the Dee-bridge in May last; ' the report proceeded to ex amine the principl es up — on which the stupendous bridges intended to span th e Conway and the Menai Straits are now being carried out. The shareholders b are aware that those bridges diff e r altogether, of construction and thei r ' materi ale both in their mode are exclu sively wrought iron), fro m that which has unhappily failed near Chester. Still it cannot but be and remarkable that the strength and safety of the novel wiil a b n e s structures that are contemplated subjected e l d to strict investigation. So far as those inquiries u hitherto proceeded the result; your directors are assured, eve has given the utmost confidence in the success of the proposed plan. It will be brought to a practical test when the bridge over the Conway is erected, which will be within three months from this time : and your direc tors have the fullest. confidence that the issue will be such as completely to justify the expectations of Mr. Stephenson. " The accounts laid before you a ill confirm what Mr. Stephenson has stated as to the activity displayed by the contractors during the 'last six months, the average expenditure for each month having been 90,916/. Even this average, however, will be considerably exceeded in the present half-year, owing to the progress which is now being made in the tubular bridges—the completion, during that poliod, of most of the road contracts and station buildings—and the winding up of most of the accounts connected therewith. The monthly expendi ture, from the Ist of July to the 31st of December of the present year, is estimated to amount to 120,0001. " Your directors have 'been desirous to relieve the shareholders, as much as possible, from any calls upon them during the late period of depression; and they have been assisted in their measures to that end by the London and North-Western Railway Company. who have paid a part of their calls in advance, and have agreed so to pay the remainder. In future, however, it will be necessary to make the calls at shorter intervals. " The Mold Railway project, which, as an auxiliary to your line, was favourably reported upon by the directors in February, 1845, was brought forward last year by an independent company, and, at the recommendation of your directors to the shareholders at the last half-yearly general meeting, it was resii.lved that this company should take an interest therein to the extent of 30,000/., being one-sixth of the share capital; the Chester and Birken head, and Birkenhead, Lancashire, and ChesbireJunction Companies, having also taken a share interest to the extent of 20,0001. each. Your directors have now to an nounce that the Bill authorising the construction of the Mold Railway has received the Royal assent. "Your directors have prosecuted the Bills to which you gave your approval in February last, in order to obtain legal sanction for the arrangement with her Ma jesty's Government, under which this company is to contribute, on the stipulated conditions, 200,0001. towards the formation of a Llarboar.of Refuge, and Packet Har bour Pier, at Holyhead. The construction of the harbour by her Majesty's Government, and the carry ing out of the arrangement in question in its full in tegrity, have now been rendered obligatory upon both parties by legislative enactment. " The portion of the Bill'authorising the completion of the communication - between the capitals of the two islands, by means of steam-boats to be established and maintained by this company, remains for the present in abeyance; but your directors feel confident that they shall succeed in obtaining the powers necessary for this important end next session. After a lengthened inves tigation before the Select Committee to which the Bill was referred, in consequence of the combined opposition of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, the Steam Ship Owners' Association, and the General Steam Navigation Company—(all of whom were repre sented by counsel)—in the course of which the merits of the case, and the reason why this company were seeking the powers in question, were most thoroughly sifted—the Committee came to the unanimous conclu sion to report to the House, that they had heard evi dence at great length upon the subject of permitting the railway company to embark capital in steam-boats, and are of opinion that in the present case it is essential for the interests of the' public, that the powers sought by the Bill for the purpose should be conferred.' But as the Committskon the Holyhead Harbour (Governme nt ) Bill were desiFolas that the evidence upon which the report of..the Select Committee had been founded should be printed ancteirculated among the Members of Par liament, and instructed their Chairman (the secretary of the Admiralty), to move the House to that effect ; and as the assent •of the House to this proposition necessarily involved considerable delay, whilst a renewal of opposition was threatened in the House of Lords, so as to render it probable that the Bill might not be paised ddring the session, your direc tors, after several conferences with the members of her Majesty's Government, tboughi it advisable td withdraw the opposed clauses.. They had a further motive for this course in the earnest desire which they felt, and in which they are sure that you will participate, that this com pany should not be subjected to the slightest imputation of a breach of faith towards her Majesty's Government, in case the Bill should fall through in consequence of the opposition offered to the further powers sought, which, though intended to render the arrangement complete, were not necessarily involved in the agreement with the Treasury. " The capital which the Bills of this session authoriie this company to raise for.the contribution to the harbour, the extension of tbe.line thereto, and for the necessary wharfs and stations,. amouritelo 3,363,3321. "Your directors recommend that of this sum 630,0001. shall be raised by the creation df,12,000 shares of 151. each, being one new share for each original share ' - and that the remaining 34,538/ . be raised b y loan. That these new shares Shall be issued as preference shares, to receive at all times.a dividend at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum, and to. participate with the entire stock in any increased rate of dividend which may be declared. "That these shares be paid upon as follows :- 4/. Deposit on the Ist of September next ; 4/. First call on the , Ist of November next; 4/. Second call.on the 10th of January next; and 3/. Final call - on the 28th of March, 1848. 15/. . . " That interest, at the rate of five per cent. be payable on all calls in arrear after the respective dates, and that five per cent. interest .be allowed, and payable on the 10th of April next, on all calls paid in advance. That the scrip be sent in•for registration on or before the Bth of November next, 'on which day the registration will be comPleted; and that in order to their being registered in the name of' any other' thari the party to whom they shall haVe been originally allotted, it be indispensable that the call due on the Ist of November shall have been paid, otherwise the original allottee to be registered. That the first dividend be calculated from the Ist of April, 1848, upon all shares paid up in full at that date; and that us regards those that may not then be paid up in full, the dividend be celculated from the next succeeding period of three months • from the let April, upon which the same shall have been paid up with interest, that is to say:— ' • • "If paid between April 1 and June 30 the dividend to be calculated from the succeeding Ist of July. " If paid between July 1 and September 30, from the succeeding Ist of October, and so on; but this arrrnge meet shall not preclude the directors from puttingin force, at their discretion, the powers of h o Act with respect to forfeiture. k Should these recommendations of the directors be approved and adopted- by the shareholders, the future remaining calls • upon ' the original shares on which 32/. 10s. has been paid, will be— .£s per share on the 21st of October next. 5 . ~,; ' 21st of April, 1848 . . . 5 „ „ . 21st of July „ •:Ancll 100. „ , „ 21st of October „ ~------ . . . .£l7 102. . • • • , "Your directors conclude .by stating their confiden expectation that , •the line may be opened throughout, with the exception of the Britannia-bridge (across the Menai Straits), in February next, and the bridge itself in the early part Of the succeeding summer. The line may, indeed, be made ready for traffic, as far as Bangor, in October next, 'provided the passage over the river Conway be effected; to accomplish this every exertion is being directed, and the necessary preparations for the opening of the line are now engaging your directors' ' best attention; and they are happy to assureyou that the information which.they have acquired in t he c ourse of their labours for this object, h ave tended to th e con ' elusion that the - local • traffic will be considerably in excess of their original e xpectations. ~ you. have been apprized in previous rep_orts that the terms upon which the London and No ro rth v i d W e way Company . should undertake_ P d rto consideration.

He had received a letter f ro m their chairman, Mr. Collet, which corro borated f Mr ully ' the 'stament made by the engi neer, . Stephenso te n, as to the favourable situation of their line. They might be assured that the directors deeply deplored the accident that had , taken place. at Dee-bridge. That feeling of re gret had been greatly aggravated, for the claims of the sufferers from that accident had not been settled. They had, however, made overtures to the other com pany, and he hoped that the matter would be shortly arranged. :With respect to the tubular bridge everything they had seen proved that the r..alculations of . ..their 'engineer were correct: 1 , i -egard to the . steam-boats to connect them l w with '- f ,„_ - quid, nothing _,_ could have induced them to to _ "L` - - don their ' U*.

Their engineer was present, and would answer any question that had reference to his depart ment, and if there. were no objection, he (the Chair man) should propose to the meeting the adoption of the report. In reply to a variety of questions from Mr. IlEx- MAN, The CHAIRMAN said, with re and to the opening g of the line, there were between Conway and Chester some of the heaviest works, but every effort would be made to open it in October ncxt. With regard to the observation of the Hon. Proprieior with referencie to their resident director, he couldsay that the services of Captain Moorsom were ino,!t valuable. Th (the directors) had received constan t reports fromthat gentleman, and they were muc h indebted to him for the vigilance he had shown. With res p ;ct to the other interrogatory of the Honourable Proprietor, he had only to state that the unpaid as only 17,9001. their The lo c e a o pita t l iv e s o f 2 w et e ,O di Oo s , p o o o a o e / d . f w claims on the London and North-Western Company. With respect to approachingthe v e i r n y t l e o s a t e l o theyn when that interest the t o i m ou e ld w b a : no longer allowed, it was scarcely worth while to make any observations. . Tie want of confidence, which they all deeply deplored, would nodoubtt speedily dissipated, when the affairs and position of the company were really understood. He had stated that the traffic justified their expectations, and he hoped that would restore confidence. Mr. STEPHENSON said that he had read the letter of General Pasley on 'the subject of the bridge, and he saw nothing in that letter that required a rep`ly. The writer made a detailea*statement of conversation's that had taken place between himself and another gentleman on the question which he referred to, but there was not a single observation that disap proved of the principle upon which the bridge was to be constructed, and the only points to which he objected was as to the man , ner in which it was to be raised. There were only two or three • persons in the country sv4 , o were acquainted with his plans, therefore General Pasley could not possibly know what those plans were ; but he (Mr. Stephenson) was ready to explain them to any one in that room who could understand. them. He intended to hzkve that bridge supported on chains, and it was only in the method of raising it that General Pasley saw anything to ctndemn. The apprehensions that existed on this matter were en tirely vague, and had no foundaden whatever but in the feelings that were entertained towards what was considered a novelty,. though it was merely the . It extension of a princip le alread y in ceistence nv.ersation appeared that General Pas le y had some co: s with Captain Moorsom on th e q uestion ; ~., u t the latter gentleman, though he might have a genseral idea of his plan, was' not acquainted with the details, and therefore was not competent to offer any' opinion upon it. He thought that, under these cir cumstances, it was very unwarrantable on the part of General Pasley to make • the comraentS he had done on a work of such importance, and upon which so. much anxiety was felt by those interested in it. With respect to the other letter re- , ferred to, signed " A Mathema:ician," the signature was one that the writer had no right to assume.—(A laugh.) lie (the mathematician) sa,.'d that the vibra tion would convert the wrought iron into cast iron. Why, he might as well have said that L'be vibration of cast iron would convert it into plumbage.—(A laugh.) The apprehe nsions, as he had already on stated, were quite unfoun ded, and in this opini he was supported by some of the most eminent taa.the maticians of the day. Captain Moonsoss here explained that he wag ready to make any reports that were required, but that it had been arranged that he should only report to the directors, with whom he constantly com municated. General Pasley had altogether naisree presented what he had said to him, and as far as he understood the plans of Mr. Stephenson he ap proved of them. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated that the shareholders would not be coin new shares. pelled t o take the Mr. STEPHENSON, in rep l y to soz..ne questions* stated that the chains were not used for the purpose of permanently supporting the tube, and tient the vibration would not be felt. This would be understood if they considered that 1,200 tons would very easily resist 200 tons in a commensurate ratio. The whole objections were made upon false data. The CHAIRMAN then .proposed the next resolution, which was to the effect that 42,000 new shares, in shares of 151. each; should be issued, in the way re commended by the directors in their report, to be _disposed of in the way the directors consider best for the interests of the shareholders. The resolution -was unanimously agreed to. A resolution, to- apply to Parliamerzt for authority to run ster-mers between . Holyhead and Dublin, was also agreed to, after some discussion. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman a:id. the other directors, and the-meeting separated. - - _ herAuGMT.Taaj DEPARTURE OF THE GRAND DiaKg CONSTAN TINE.

One, a translation from the Danish of 11. C. Anderson, by Mrs. Bushby, we give : " The drums are beating with muffled sound— How long the way seems to yon fatal ground! Would all were over, and he were at rest! My heart is breaking, bursting in my breast! " I had in this wide world one only friend; 'Tis he, who to his doom of death they send, With music's clanging strains and martial show. And I—paraded with the rest—must go! " For the last time God's sun cloth he behold; Soon, soon for bim will all be dark and cold! And now he kneels, and now his eyei they bind: Oh! may his soul eternal mercy find! " The nine have fired, not one without a sigh: Eight of the whizzing balls have passed him by. One only took sure aim of all the nine— The ball that struck him in the heart was—mine." CHRISTOPHER TADPOLE. Part XII. By Albert Smith. In this number we are introduced to Mr. Barnes, a medical student, and a "pal" of Sir Frederick Ar den's. Mr. Barnes promises to be a glorious fellow, and we are sorry that Albert Smith has only allowed himself four more number s i n w hi c h t o wor k him out. In this number Christopher, who is discharged from the police-office for want of a prosecutor, is re cognised by Sprouts and Ski tt l er, an d i s b y t h em in troduced to Hickory, so that everything is now en train for the discovery of the secret of his birth. There is an admirable scene of a fancy fair at the Gudges, got up by the indefati ga bl e M rs . H a mper, at which young Sir Frederick and Fanny Hamper are discovered in a "peculiar and delicate" situation, but while Mrs. Hamper lectures Fanny for being so very indiscreet, she comforts herself with the idea that " it would not be so bad if her daughter came to be Lady Arden after all." THE DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY. Part HI. By W. Blanchard Jerrold. This serial improves as it progresses, and although the hero may be a disgrace to the family, the author shows himself worthy of the names he bears, Blanchari and Jerrold. VANITY FAIR. Part VIII. Mr. and Mrs. Captain Osborne join their regiment at Chatham, and the latter is introduced to Airs. Major O'Dowd, who commands the Major, who com mands the regiment. They are all ordered to Brus sels, where they meet Rawdon, Crawly, and Rebecca, who are residing with General Tufto, to whom Raw don is aide-de-camp. Rebecca is setting her cap at the General, who is already desperately in love with her, and to arouse whose jealousy, and thus make secure of him, she commences a flirtation with George Osborne, who is fool enough to believe she is in love with him, and who neglects poor Amelia in conseuence. All parties meet at the " far-famed ball" at Brussels on the 15th June, 1815, and are aroused from their intrigues by " the canon's opening roar" on the field of Quatre Bras. THE PATRICIAN. The present number of The Patrician fully sus tains the character of this aristocratic periodical. The article on Spanish literature is very valuable, and the trial of W. Bernard for sending a threatening letter to the second Duke of Marlborough is another illus tration of the correctness of the ail.)1•-r- , ;m, that truth is stranger than fiction. The Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Roman Catholic Bishop of London, remains in a very precarious state. Prayers are offered daily for his Lordship by the several Roman Catholic congregations. RUMOURED DEATH OF SIR W. CODRINGTON, M.P. —A rumour gained cu rrenc y , yesterda y, th a t t h e ill ness under which this gentleman was known to be suf fering had terminated fa tall y at seven o'clock yesterday morning ; thus causing a vacancy in the representation of the Eastern Division . On inquiry in quarters likely to be well informed we cannot gain either confirmation or refutation of the rumour ; but the well known fact of Sir William's ill state of health has caused it to be very generally credited. Should such an event have taken place it would cause considerable excitement in our local politics. The defeat of Mr. Craven Berkeley, for Cheltenham, and the success of his brother, Grant ley, for the Western Division, have left such a feeling, in certain quarters, that it is more than likely that a Liberal would be starte d to contest the v acancy. In deed, immediately on t he rumour being spread, yester day, the names of Mr. Craven Berkeley, M r . Ed ward Holland, Mr. Macaulay, and Sir J. C. Robhouse, were spoken of as candidates on the Liberal interest. Some, parties, we bear, went so far as to set on foot a requi sition to the first-named gentleman to allow himself to be brought forward ; b ut, of course, in the present de licate state of affairs any such step is at least premature. —Cheltenham Examiner. [ADVERTISEIMENT.] — S CORDUTIC HUMOURS, RING• woam, AND ALL CUTANEOUS DISEASES MAY BE CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PI LLS. — Numbers of the human race are subje ct to diseases of the skin, and nothing tends to increase the virulence of such complaints so much as impurity of the blood, which generates ill health, and if this is not corrected, the constitution soon becomes undermined, ultimately terminating in disorders that are incurable. Let those, therefore, who are so affected, seek speedy relief by using Holloway's Pills and Oint ment. These medicines combined are an infallible Cu' for the most inveterate diseases of the skin, and equally efficacious for old wo unds, bad le gs , tumours are unnatural swellings.

The Queen and Prince Albert returned to Osborne on Tuesday evening, after their excursion in the Fairy. Major the Hon. Robert Boyle, Groom in Waiting to her Majesty, arrived at Osborne, on Tuesday, from town. The royal dinner party at Osborne on Tuesday in cluded his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, Earl Grey, and Lord John Russell. Yesterday morning her Majesty and her Royal Con sort took their usual early walk. The Princess Royal and the Prince:s Alice rode on the beach, and the I'rince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Helena, took airings in the pleasure-grounds. Lord John Russell left Osborne yesterday morning. The Lord Chancellor returned to his residence at Copse-hill, on Tuesday evening, from Osborne. Viscount Palmerston arrived in town on Tuesday evening, from Osborne. Lord John Russell returned to his residence, at Rich mond, yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MILFORD HAVEN: doubt as to the certainty of this auspicious event is now removed, it is an acknowledged fact, inasmuch as the Board of Admiralty have given the necessary directions to the officers of Pembroke Yard for the occasion. The Earl of Cawdor hastily returned to the country on Sa turdriy last, together with the Countess, &c., having pla sed their family mansion enterely at her Majesty's dis posal during the royal visit. The excitement it is causing throughout the neighbourhood is beyond con ception. There is a rumour of a petition to her Majesty being presented, to give a new name to the town.— Weirliman. T wo further failures of large amount were reported yesterday morning on the Corn-exchange, the parties being Messrs. Coventry and Sheppard, and Messrs. Kir ig, Melvil, and Co. The liabilities were not stated, but th ey are supposed in each case to reach to about 200,0001. Mr. Coventry was of the firm of Hunter and Co ventry, which stopped in 1842, and King and Melvil also stopped at that period. In the present instance great effor is had been made to sustain both houses through the cre'a it of their connexions, and the fact of these efforts ha, ring failed augurs, it may be feared, somewhat unfa vol crably for the final result. The immediate cause of sus pension of King, Melvil, and Co. ' is stated to have be , ;n the return of a bill of Lesley, Alexander, and Co., for 18,0001. Another suspension was also mentioned, bu t it was a small affair, not exceeding 4,0661., and the crs dit of the party had for some time been questionable. T - le, total amount of the liabilities of the various firms wl Lose failures have been reported on the Corn-exchange du gyring the present 'pressure is now estimated at 1, 800,0001. TEEBLESHIRE ELECTION. THE LATE SERIOUS A comnsvr.—The latest accounts received yesterday fr om Peebles state that all the sufferers by this most un tc ward accident are in as favourable and promising cir ci =stances as could be expected. Mr. Veitch, of Wood si de, we understand, is the most serious case ; it was fe erred that his fractured limb would require to be am pi 'tested. Professor Miller, however, we are glad to he tar, has not found this to be necessary. Mr. Brown, of Ne whall, and Mr. James H. Mackenzie have also re ceive Al serious injuries, but are doing well. Both candi d? ,t' is, it now appears, received injuries ; Mr. W. F. M .t.Lckenzie having been bruised on the shoulder and a' ids, and Mr. Gibson Carmichael, who at first was t hourght to have wholly escaped, having been bruised in tbe side. Mr. Robertson, W.S., got three ribs on his 3ft side broken, but he is recovering very well. Mr. J ;olan Mackenzie, brother of the late Member, was also Jirshtly bruised.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday.
