NORTHAMPTON ELECTION.

At Northampton on Thursday, party feeling ran as
high 64 it possibly could do, but no collision took place.
Every arraogement bad been made to quell any dis-
tal barite, a good force both of military and polio*
being in readiness should their services be wanted. A
troop of the sth Dragoon Gnat& from Birmingham
arrived on Wednesday evenbag, and were followed by
the tffith, or Welsh Regiment, from Sheffield and
Weedoo. As the men marched through the stmets
they were both cheered and greened at. A number of
the county police arrived from Leicester and Birming-
ham, sod they were mostly engaged in patrolling the
town. Both parties used calm for the purpose of con.
'ogler! votersptor:li:soll,tbough only to • limited extent.
Each side ex Re confidence in being victorious
i the promises given them were carried out. Tbe
Conservatives calculated on • majority of something
over 100. One dodge of the Bradlaughita was to
placard the town with huge bills reproducing the
famous letter of Mr. Morley, wrftten It the relsatlem of
two years since, but putting no date I, it, so that it
shoat be thought to be written now. A counterpoise to
this was, however, effected by a Nonconformist, clergy-
man, who wrttato the member for Bristol as to his view's
at preeent, which in he turn was widely circulated.
The memberr of the Labourers' Union of Northamp•
too, numbering about 400, gave their vote almost
entirely to Mr. Corbett, not upon any political ground,
but became of what they considered the churlishness of
Mr. Beadlaugh in refusing to meet a delete from
their moiety upon the Sugar Bounty question. The
;polling concluded at four o'clock. • few skirmishes

THE WIMBLEDON MURDER.

On Monday, atthe Central Criminal Court, before '
Mr. Justice Hawkins, Mr. Montagu Williams
addressed the Court just before the close of the
business, and said that, having regard to the number
of cases dist remained to be disposed of, It wee not
prohable that the trial of prisoner Leman could take
place on M mday, which was the day originally
appointe,i, and he therefore ask-id his lordship to
postpone the trial to a later day. He had oily
been instructed • very shot tim-, and the pro-
elisions' gentlemen who were conductinz the analyses
of the stomach bad uot yet completed their labours,
and he was altogether without the necessary
materials that would enable him to CCOSSAILSIIIIIIII
the medical witnesses. Under thew circato•
stances he had to ask that the trial should not
take place on Monday, and that as much time as
was passible should be afforded him to peepers the
deems. He susgested, therefore, that the trial
should not take plum until Wedneeday.—Mr. Poland,
who appeared tor the prosecution, said that they
were most minions that every fair opportunity
should be afforded to the prisoner to prepare his de-
fence, and he had c 'malted the Solicitor-Geosral upon
the subject, and he thought it was not unreasonable
that the trial should be postponed until Wednesday.
Mr. Justice Hawkins a,,id that under these circum-
stances he thought be might say that the trial should
not come on until Wedoesday,but it most be understood
that the care would be positively disposed of on that
day.—Mr. Mo Williams said he had no doubt be
should be preparedto go on with the defence by that
tims.—The trial consequently stands adjourned until
next Wednesday.

*MUMS AND IAIIIB BI LAWS.

The Committee recommended that the new draft of
howltl:o-laws be forwarded to the Local Government
as requested by that authority.
The Dzeirnr-Towir Cuiaz thought they were taking
a lot ol trouble for nothing, for the authority had
taken everything out of the bye-laws which the
Council would like to have retained, for the regulation
of various natter. relating to the town, saying they
were nut able to entertain them, lie expected that
ultimately there would be little alteration from the
old ones.
Dr. A1,1)1111)01 thought they had far better remain
as they are, and be accordingly moved that the
Council consider it unnecessary to take any further
steps in the matter at present.
Mr. W. Dtatuvi seconded the proposition, which
was carried.
