A FitEN FIGHT.

Mr. &nett Stanford (Conservative),
Seymour (Liberal), attended the ortinary at the
Grosvenor Hotel. and afterwards delivered addressees
from the baloony to • larva number of their partisans.
Some of the remarks of the Liberal eandliato were
considered enceedingly offensive to the Marchioness of
Westminster, who had been present with Lady
Theodore Grosvenor, during the time Mr. Stamford
was speaking. This (mused considerable uproar, and •
violent squabble was the remelt. Eventually the arowd

been aloud in antioipation of such an event, ea party
feeling is unusu.lly bitter in the town. Policemen
were summoned from the surrounding villages to
reinforce those on duty in Shateebury, but it was •

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF
WAREHAM.

GINTI.IIIII2I,
Ibeg to offer myself al a candidate for the
representation of your Borough in the new Pulls-
wont. lam prompted to take this step from having
observed that for the last five Boselons, during which I
have had the honour of a Beat in the House of
Commons, you have not been—but with few exceptions
—represented in the many and Important questions
which have been brought before the notice of Parlia-
ment ; and I believe, should you wish to preserve your
identity as s representative Borough, you would do well
to look fr.vourably on the candidature of one, who has
amp!e time and t quid inclination, to eerie your interests
end proclaim your opinions in the Great Council of the
Nation. . _ .

Moreover, I feel that the great antipathy I have to
the prevailing demand for Homo Rule in Ireland—
which I look upon as the disintegration of the United
Kmgdom, and the ruin of that Country —prevent. me
from off-ring myself to my late Constituency with any
degree of straightforwardness.
I oome, therefore, before you as a Liberal, moderate
in my •iewe, and by no means inclined to support every
extreme measure that expediency may suggest to some
of those who sit on that idle of the House : believing,
aa I do that over•legialation may become • dangerous
evil, and that the wishes and the welfare of a Nation
and a Constituency are more to be regarded than the
interests of • party.
I am pleased te se* from Mr. Clidatone's Address,
aashrances of the prosperous state of the Financer of
this Country, and hail with delight, the prospect of
Relief to Local, and a general Reduction of Wrest and
Indirect Taxation. _

I am not, however. so favourably Impressed with the
forecast of the probability of & Bill for the Assimilation
of the County and Rereueh Frsschia.. ferling that the
Cauntry is not yet rive fore new Reform Bill.
There are many subj eta that I might souoh upon
here, but the lieuited notice given of the present Dis.o-
lutioo, compels me to pass over them for the moment.
In the imsio, therefore, I tiler myself to you as a
Liberal Candi:ate, followitg my party in all moderato
measures thst may be beneficial to the Country, but
not binding myself to men in contra distinction to
measure-. _

I have the greater 000filenee in presenting mrelf to
you, from ill, fimt, that I have reaidoil orungst you
for semi time past, old the., being connectef I y ties
with your Coui.ty, lam not utterly a stranger to you
and your Mt, nem
Should you do mo the honour of returhiog me to
Parliament, It will be my endeavour to IMO you with
asaiduity and hooray.

MURDER OF AN EX-NUN,

One of the must unnatural cases of murder on record
(writes a New York correspondent under the date of list
October) is beim investigated in Brooklyn. The victim
was Miss HammilL She was originally • num of the Order
of the Good Shepherd, the members of which devote their
time to the reformation of fallen women. Iler father died
rich. Her eldest brother sought to secure the entire
property left by their father. The younger brother
intered into litigation on the matter, sad the result was •
compromise, by which the nun obtained some .CtXl,OOO.
She then left the convent Upon returning to the world,
her youth, beauty, and wealth obtained for her a large
amount of admiration. She had, however, one fatal
weakness, which ended in her death. It was that of
visiting low gossiping acquaintances. Her murder was of
the most brutal kind. In the house of a Mrs. Merrigan,
whom she visited as one of her old schoolmates, she was
miserably strangled, and her corpse was allowed to remain
on Mrs. Merrigan's bed for two days. Then the lied
clothes and furniture of the room were sprinkled with
petroleum, and an effort was made to burn the room,
which fortunately did not result in a blaze that might
have led to an innuense loss of life, as several families
lived in the same house. Mrs. Merrigan is charged with
the crime if having murdered Miss lissunsill, kneWille. it is
believed, she had money in her piwsmiion at the time.
A ghastly circumstance connected with this wretched case
is that while the corpse of the young woman lay on
Merrigan's bed he amused himself" by playing the flute on
two successive evenings. The defence tie, up for Mrs.
Marrigan is not a denial of the crime, hut the old plea so
miserably common in this country in murder cases of
" emotional insanity.-

of a horrible murder which has been committed there.
AS usual, the incentive to the crime was the poliession of
• few ornaments which • native lad of seven years was
wearing. The murder was planned by a gardener and a
woman, who enticed the lad into • house and there
murdered him. The two wretches then inimerrod the
body in boiling hut water in order to render the removal
of the flesh an easy task. The bones were afterwards
carefully distributetl about three different villages. The
murder, as is usual in such cases, was brought to the
notice of the police by one of the confederates confessing.
and there is every possibility of the two being mode to
suffer for their crime. Another murder case is under
Investigation in the aame district, but the accused person
says the police extorted • confesUon (a hich he now
denies) from him by besprinkling bun pretty freely with
boiling oil.

DECEPTION BY A MARRIED MAX.
At Preston, a young woman named Rebecca Lainbert„ •
domeatic servant, summoned one William Brogden by
trade • painter, to show cause why he should not contn-
butt: towards the maintenance of an illegitinate child of
which he was the father. Witness stated that she was •
single woman, and that she had kept company with the
defendant for about IM months. In the month of October
last she MU delivered of • child, to the maintenance of
which defendant had not contributed anything. Defen-
dant had promised her marriage, had put up the aakings
at church, and the day was flxed for the celebration.
Applicant, thinking that all was right, purchased • new
bonnet and dram, and on the morning the marriage should
have taken place awaited het —lover to take her to the
altar. Defendant, however, never turned up; and on
making inquiries into the uncap/shied desertion, the
young woman discovered that her would.he husband was
• married man with three children (the wife, with • child
in her arms being now present in court). Defendant did
not put in an appearance, and the case was remanded for

REVIEW OF Tilt CORN TRADE.
A "oar wee has prevailed in the grain trade, and at

ruled One Shilling per quarter dearer. The firmness is
doe to the ex on pectati of an early closing of the Baltic

there Is no probability of an important recovery.
At present about one million one hundred and seventy-
