WEYMOUTH.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. —WISYNOVTH WARD.—
Matters proceeded here with great steadiness and
absence of incident during the day, except a grand
rush being made at 9 o'clock, which seems to have
almost exhausted the forces of both parties. The
ward alderman was Mr. J. Hancock, the assessors,
Messrs. R.. Attwooll and W. Holt. The candidates
were Mr. H. Deveniali, nominated by Mr. W.
Fowler; Mr. Hibbs, by Mr. Roberts ; Mr. Harris,
by Mann. Gough and Bartlett; and Mr. Buck, by
Marrs. Mead and Bartlett. In the course of the
first hour and half 150 votes were polled, after this
they were "few and far between throughout the
day." The declaration of identity was profferred to
three voters, and taken by two, but the third re-
fused, and his vote was rejected. At 4 o'clock, the
Alderman announced the close of the poll, and de-
clared the result of the election fur Weymouth as
follows :
Devenish 162
Hibbs
Harris
Buck
He had consequently nothing more to do than to de-
clare the two first as duly elected Councillors for the
ensuing year. He wished, however, to embrace the
opportunity of expressing his gratification at the
orderly manner in which the contest had been car-
ried on. He had not seen a single unpleasant occur-
rence or beard a cross word during the day. It was a
credit to all concerned. Three cheers were then
given for the Ward Alderman and Assersars, and a
similar demonstration for the successful candidates,
who then returned their thanks.

Meteors' Runs WARM—The candidates were
Messrs. MiHedge, W. Thomas, W. Thompson. Josh.
Drew, Fox, P. Dodson, J. E. Robens, and A. S. San
som. Messrs. Lundie, Griffen, and Cotterell were
also brought forward without their consent. The
poll was declared as follows :
NI Wedge 336

The Courrier fir 40* publishes a letter from Parma
relative to the difficulty of punishing the iuunlerers of
Colonel A siviti, in which it says :—' The judicial ease
titivation which has been commenced makes but little
progre.. The principal actors in the affair are twist to
have taken to flight, and are already in a place of safety,
as to those who have been arrested, no one will be found
to angle forward against them. A part of the popula-
tion would openly take part in their las our if they dared,
and the populisee are well arnissl, having at their disp -
sal from 4,0e0 tu 5,0(5) muskets, without reek g
the mini ilangeness weapons which they ore üble to con-
ceal beneath their clothes. Till%la.. of 1CN011.4 strike
terror into the minds of all wellintentiont d persona,
and even produce a certain effect on the Diets tor Parini

principal force assailed the reactionista whom lie fears and

that the murder of Colonel Auviti will remain no.

AMERICA.

The Washington Cabinet has, according to the last
advices, been very much occupied with the San Juan
*implication. The President, Mr. Secretary Cass, and
other officials, have been in close conference, medi-
tating an answer to the despatch which they had
received from Lord John Rwiaell. It in understood
that our Foreign Secretary has commended the course
pursued by the Government of the United States in
despatching General Scott to the Pacific, and it is also
understood that President Buchanan will delay coming
to • final determination until lie has received &deices
from General Scott. In the meanwhile it is satidactory
to know that bloodshed has been averted at the island,
the occupation of which is disputed.
We have the assertion repeated that the Cabinet at
Washington has expressed to Mr. Ward and Commo-
dore Tatnall its opinion that though their conduct in
assisting Admiral Hope at the Pehio affair was cam
-
sable, it was not justifiable.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN IttELAMD.—A daring attempt
to murder • widow lady of the 11a1111. of Murphy has
been mode in the county of Meath. The following are
the facts of the case, as stated in the Erenimp Pug :
We regret to learn that an attempt to murder Mrs.
Murphy, widow of Mr. George James Murphy, of the
Orange, county of Meath (who died about a year since),
has been made. Mrs. Murphy was sitting in her draw.
ing room after dinner when two shots were discharged
at her. A number of slugs perforated the windows and
lodged in different parts of the architraves of woodwork.
Luckily no injury was inflicted. Mrs. Murphy is named
executrix and trustee in the will of her husband, after
whose death she of necessity reduced her establishment,
and amongst others parted with 01143 of his herds, We

WIFE MURDER IN nELA E D.—John Morgan, asmall
farmer, residing at a place called Cabirlehern near Tra-
lee, murdered his wife on Tuesday week, and ab.ronded.
It is said that his child, of about two years ohl, was
heard crying continuously during the Morning by men
working in a held near the house. They were at length
induced to go to the door, which they broke open, and
found the child in an open Ims, and the woman a corpse
on the floor. Rumour further has it that the murderer
met ii man named Moriarty, nut far train the house, and
actually told him that he had committed the crime.

sT HI HIION A lIKEST OF THE ORIOINAL
FoRSI EH. The police bale succeeded in arresting
Henri D'Alton, alias Henry Tighe or Toye, the original
informer aping the Belfast Itililninnien. Shortly after
the arrests lie disappeared. As his evidince was thought
of great importance, a large reward was offeJed for his
arrest. It would appear that immediately after the
arrest of his brother Itiblsininen, Toye left Belfast for
Scotland, and remained there for • considerable tune.
Cast week he returned to Belfast, to his father's house.
Here the police sought him. In a little piggery were
found several bundles of straw one upon the other, and
• large broom throws, with see g carelveiness across
the top. The constables detected a tootle') of the straw,
• few bundles were pulled away, and they discovered
Henry Toye underneath. He was prepared for A resist-
anee. Armed with a pitchfork, lit:attempted to stab one
of the °unstable., but the fork was wrested from him,
and he was carried to gaol. It is thought that, if he
chooses, be can give veryinaportant evidence.

PORMMOUTII.

The adjourned balf-yearly meeting of this company
was held on Thursday wok at the offices, Great George-
street, Westminster ; Mr. R. D. Mangles in the clash.
Mr. Horn, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that, under the authority given to the board at
the special genie il meeting on the 9th of November
last, they hail concluilml an agreement with the Idindon
and South-Western Railway Company providing for an
application to Parliament to authorize • !caw or amalga-
mation of the conyany's undertaking with or to that
company, and for the oil interim working of the line
on the terms then reported. The agreement also pro-
vided that the working of the line by the .South-Western
Company should continue until a second application to
l'ai.lunuent in 1860 in the event of failure in the present
session. In pursuance of this agreement the line from
Godal g to Havant w•s opened to the ;oxidic on the
Ist iif January last, but owing to the differences between
the South-Western and the London and Brighton
ponies respecting the use of the railway south of Havant,
the trains could not proceed beyond the latter place
until the 24th of the same month. From that date,
however, the traffic had been carried to its ilestinat.
without difficulty or inconvenience. The Bill for the
ainalgaumtion of the undertaking with that fit the
I London and Soutli•Weliti Hi It:ids/ay Company, not with,.
standing the strenuous opposition of the lirighton
I Ril-
way Company, WAS unanimously approved by a Cl/111•
macre of the House of Commons, and it hail since been
read a first time in the House of Lords. The 4iirection,
I believed that the amount of capital required to be raised
I by the company would not exceed 1:4061,000, which
would be represented by 1:3110,1100 of ordinary capital,
V 2,000 of preference shares, and it1:13,0110 debenture
capital. If, as the directors expected. the rate of
lutenist payable upon the amount of tie pniference
shares and debenture debt would uot ultimately exceed
4 per cent., the financial position of the company would
be :—Rent, E 114,000; interest at 4 per cent, on prefer-
ence stock and debenture debt of 1:135,009, E 6.400,
leaving 1212,600, which on £.360,000 would pay CI 12s.
per cent. The capital account showed that £476,227
had been received, and /2472,1186 expended, leaving •
balance of 1:3,391.
The Chairman said that the board fully expected that
£485,0013 would oouiplete the line.
In reply to a question from Mr. Locke, it wu stated
that about Mg ,500 of CU debenture debt was borrowed

at hi per vitt. ; but thnt on the eumpletion of the leas
to the bouth•Nrehtt rh ou.p.thy 111. it ie.i.t would be In

RINGWOOD. —A arfully Sudden Death.— On 'aura-
day morning as Robert Hiscock, servant to Mr.
Thomas Lawrence, was ruling on a truck, and driv-
ing the horse in it toward the railway station, he fell
back, and instantly expired without a struggle.
Dectaseil was talking vs ith Mr. Cull, apparently in
perfect health and good spirits, not a minute before
his death, which was caused by disease of the heart.
He was a very steady man, and hail worked for Mr.
Lawrence and his father upwards of 30 years.
' The closing meeting of the Ringwood and f4nuth
, Hants Building Society was held at the Cnevn
Hotel, on Wednesday last, when the Rev. C. H.
Maturin, the President of the Society, occupied the
chair. A highly satisfactory report of the Directors
to the Shareholders, was read by Mr. Wheaton. the
Secretary, and presented to the meeting. together
with the 13th and final statement of account'. It
, appeared that the society had been very prosperous
throughout its existence, and had been enabled to
complete its shares in 12t years instead of 13, as
previously contemplated, being equal to a bonus of
or £9 over 5 per cent. compound interest on each
4:60 share. Cheques were ordered at the meeting
to be drawn fir the immediate payment of £3,960,
the amount of shares then complete ; in addition to
£1,162 paid a short time previously on parties
allowing interest to the time of the meeting. It also
appeared that property on which £4,56s has been
advanced by the Society, became free at the meeting,
making a total of £9,690, as the amount of property
acquired or accumulated through the medium of the
shares which remained to the closing period of the
society. The report also stated that not one of the
shares, either borrowing or investing, was in arrear
with the monthly subscriptions. The Directors also
expressed the high sense they entertained of the
confidence reposed in the society, and in the larger
society (No. 2) which has sprung from it. The
accounts were passed, and the report adopted unani•
mously. The cordial thanks of the Shareholders
were voted to the Directors, and to the Chairman,
and the members separated much pleased with the
results of their co-operation.

on Wednesday and Thursday, the 19th and 20th of
May, under the stewardship of the Most Hon. the
Marquis of Bath and tieorge Payne, Esq., and from
the success which has hitherto attended this spring
meeting, we can see no reason why Salisbury Races
should not, in the course of time, become one of the
hest early gatherings in England. It will be seen
from the following that the sport bids fair to be first-
rate at the forthcoming meeting :—The Wiltshire

have occupied for three nountlia.

The Wiener Zeiimlig of to-day contains • manifesto.
The purport of this document is, that Count Bind, by
order of the Emperor, has ailded a note to Count
Cavour, strongly urging the Sarigin Govenunout to
disarm.
The note, though couched in a conciliatory tone,
alludes to the consequences of a refusal to disarm. If
Sardinia disarms, Austria pledges her word not to
attack her; but Sardinia must disarm, and that before
the opening of the Congress.
The following official statement was also published
on Friday :—Piedmont, which has for some years past
endangered Austria's rigl:ts, has been summoned most
urgently by Austria to disarm. Beside.' Mil.' demand
specially addressed to Piedmont, Austria adheres firmly
to the proposal of • general disarmament, although she
cannot make that prupoeal subordinate to the summons
she has addressed to Berdinia.

The Austria Government has hired air Austrian

the proposition, and it was carried.
