POOLE.

THE new impulse is given to the
excitement already occasioned by the coming elec.
timi, by the arrival of Mr. Usuby Seymour, who
retunied to Liverpool on Saturday, by the Persia,
I Boston, U. S., and proceeded to Poole without
the least delay. It remains to be even whether the
electois will now °verbs& all his pant neglect, and
again ri.turn hiiuii as their member, or whether they
will prefer an independent candidate who undertakes
to du all in his power for the interest of the borough.
Mr. Franklyn, although suffering from a severe
attack .f the gout, has also appeared among his con-
stituents. and is proceeding satisfactorily with his
canvass, as has likewise been the else with Mr. Hely,
who has gained the hearty good will of, we believe,
a majority of the electors. The writ was publicly
read by Charlie Keats, Esq., (Merin), at noon
yesterday (Monday), the nomination being fixed for
Friday next.

FATAL Aminxxx.—An accident which unhappily
resulted fatally, and arising from the dangerous prac-
tice of riding on the shafts of timber-wagons, by which
within a few months no less than four lives have been
lost in this town and neighbourhood, occurred on
Saturday last, near the Black Horse, Sturminster
Marshall. The unfortunate man whose death was
caused on the present occasion, was a carter, in the
employ of Messrs. Piolley and Saunders, builders of
this town, named Fry. It appears that he was
in charge of a timber-wagon laden with fir poles,
when he is supposed to have been overcome by sleep,
and falling off the shafts both wheels of the carriage
passed over him, and caused instant death. The
deceased was a very sober man, and has left, we hear
with much regret, a widow and seven children.
YAcHT LAI:NUM—On Wednesday morning a fine
cutter yacht, named the "('ho," was launched from
the ship-building yard of Messrs. Wanhill, of this
port. She is about 40 tons, and built for a gentle.
man named Singleton, of Kingstown. From her ap•
pearance we should think it likely she will add fresh
fame to the yacht builders of Nile.
