Paoaastx ELEcriox TOR Divots.—South Devon
election, in the event of Sir John Buller's elevation to
the peerage, excites much observation. Lady Rolle
makes sure of rolling her wealthy nephew into the
Senate, as the representative of the division. Some
of the good people in this neighbourhood thought the
Hun. Sir. Bampfylde would be a good candidate;
but we have no public knowledge of this young gen-
tleman's politics. In the South Hams, some of the
yeoman talk of Mr. Durant, the wealthy Squire of
Sharpham, a sensible man of business, but of no
political character. The Plymouth people are to
have a meeting, under the auspices of Mr. Sultan,
the active county magistrate. A few of the friends
of Sir John Duckw,irth talk of bringing him for-
ward; but the South of Devon would hardly accept,
aa a candidate, a gentleman who was rejected from
, Exeter by his own friends. _ . - -

said the road was covered with nettles and had the
appearanoe of an abandoned road, and be could not
have made the most of the common land without he
had stopped it. He had been engaged in a great
many encloaures, and had always endeavoured to
awry out that which was most advantageous to the
public. The Jury were of opinion that the stopping
up of the road was an improvement, and returned a
verdict for the respondent, Mr. Leversedge,

the parties being from Weston, which, it is said, can
furnish more pugnacity than all the rest of the West
of England. The complainant, Captain BUR* wee
an °Blur in the India Company's service, and the
defendant was Mr. Rogers, of the Royal Hotel. The
complainant was standing opposite the hotel, when

his billiard room again." Mr. Billie went into the
