TAuNTuN.—Eledion Moresneutc—A meeting of
the Reform and Ballot association was held on
Tuesday evening, at the Phrenix Inn. W. Beadon,
Esq., J.P., in the chair. It was resolved to send a
requisition to the members for the borough to sup.
port the Ballot. The requisition was forwarded to
the Right Hon. H. Labouchere and Mr. Mills, on
Tuesday evening, and it contained the names of 257
registered electors of this borough. This movement
has caused some little consternation among Mr.
Labouchere's immediate supporters. The lion.
gentleman was at his seat at Stowey, near Bridg•
water, last week, awl a deputation, consisting of his
Taunton :igent and two members of a standing coin.
enittee he has here, visited him on Saturday at
Stowey. Mr. Labouchere returned with the dew'.
tation and was the guest of R. M. King, Km., at
Pyrland Hall, until Monday, when he left for Lon-
don by the express.
The Hon. Mr. Campbell, who was a candidate for
Taunton, has lost his election for Harwich, having
been defeated by Captain Jervis (Conservative), by
II ambit. The burs were :—Jervis, 145; Camp-
bell, In The constituency numbers under :120
electors, and the population is under 4.500. If any
place require disfranchisement this does.

RAILWAY CASUALTY.—On Wednesday morning
a luggage train ran otf the line on the flreat
Western Railway, between SaMord and Keynsham,
and blocked the down line for several hours. The
mail from London, with the papers, &c., cense.
fluently, did not arrive at their destitution!' fur
some hours after the usual time.

WIVELISCOMBIL—biipOrfant to Burro of (Wile fit
Foiro.—Jamr4 Mooning, toll-collector at West
Wiveliscombe, was summoned by I leorge !Ax-
ton, of ehipstable, for illegally demanding and
taking toll. It appears that 1-uston was scut by his
master, A. Capel, I-1w). (who left the bench while the
case was heard), with a cow to Wiveliscombc fair to
be sold. He passed through the gate kept by defen-
dant in going, and paid the usual toll. When he
returned on his way home with the cow, Manning
asked him if it was sold, and 'Alston said it was.
Manning then demanded toll again, saying that all
beasts, if they were sold, were again liable to toll.
The magistrates decided that cattle re-passing
through the toll-gates, although sold, were only
liable to payment of toll once in the same day, and
therefore lined Manning Si. and costs, at the same
time telling hint lie was liable to a penalty of .c 5 if
he did nut otter a ticket to people driving cattle
through his gate, and that such ticket would free the
said cattle the same as -though they had not been
sold. No doubt fanners and buyers of cattle will
feel much obliged to Mr. expel for bringing this
case forward. They have been in the habit of pay-
ing double toll heretofore, which will for the future
be avoided.

SIIEPTON M.turr.—Our monthly cattle market
was held for the first time on Friday week, in a very
suitable field bid • I the police station, on thP Wells
road, near the Hare and Hounds Inn. We are
happy to say it more than realized the expectations
formed of it. On the south side of the field were
arranged (under the wall) pens for sheep and pigs of
considerable length. the whole of which were well
filled; on the north side were the cattle sheds, which
were also filled with cows and calves, barreners,
kc., nearly all of which were sold at good prices.
The market was well attended by dealers, and a
determination to do business seemed manifest,
indeed buyers and sellers were so unanimous for
trade that no trouble was experienced in quickly
effecting salks. Fat beef fetched from Ins. Gd. to 12s.
per score; mutton 70. to NI. per lb. ; cows and
calves from £l2 to £2O each. l'igs sold high; store
sheep sold well. It is anticipated to make stalls for
the whole of the cattle, and also to shed the whole
of the pig and sheep pens, fur which low charges are
to be nixie ; the cattle free from toll. It is also
in anticiFation to erect a covered corn market,
to which it is intended to join a cheese market, with
a gracious assembly•roorn over for public meetings, a
thing greatly wanted in this town.

A lease has been effected of the iron mines between
this town ant Gorscoinhe for forty-two years,
and their working was commenced yesterday. Speci•
mens of the ore of great weight and size are ezbibited
in most of the lanolin this town. There are said to
be also other mines in the neighbourhood of equal
oality ; as also zinc mines.

; Lts.ro 111: It V. —Mr. //ode.--ft will be seen from
the account of the entry of the Nepolitan Exiles that
this gentlemen has again taken a very conspieious
part in Italian affairs. Tie spectacle of young Mr.
ll.xlge kissing an old man of thretswre must have
appeared rather ridiculeus.

W ELIA —Diure.l,4 Nem& —The vicarage of Mar.

gift of the Ike. R. V. Law, as treasurer of Wells
Cathedral, has become vacant by the resignation of
the Rev. T. Garratt, appointed in Ih4s.—The Right
Hon. and Right Rev. Baron Auckland, Bishop of

Exriairx R. —On Tuesday week, an alanning
fire broke out at Keen Hall, near Wells, the resi-
dence of Mr. Edwin Lemon, a highly respectable
farmer hi leas than half an hour two engines
arrived, and were soon brought into play upon the
dames, which by this time had assumed a terrific
aspect, and notwithstanding the greatest exertions
were used by the firemen. nobly mended by the
neighbours and citizens of Wells, the whole of the
building fell a prey to the devouring element. By
dint of much foresight on the part of :Mr. Lcanon,
nearly 100 hogsheads of cider were saved through a
quantity of water being conveyed into a room over
the cellar, thus preventing the tire reaching beneath.
Very little of the furniture was secured. and a large
quantity of cheese, corn, and wool destroyed. The
fire is supposed to have originated through a.ilefixt
in the chimney. The building was insured an the
Times office, and the stuck in the Atlas office.

Sool•RING .IccIOENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN

in this city to a stranger, occurred Monday ~,,, ming,
upon the departure of the 12.55 tr.tin for Piuliling-
ton. It appears thut just as the train was about to
start, a numbers of paimengers were on the platform,
amongst whoeu were a number of young soldiers,
and some women who had been on friendly terms
with them during their temporary stay here. The
troops were on their way to Chatham, and the
females were present to bid adieu to them before
separating. The deceased, with another young
woman, both Irish, were of the class always to be
found at the end of Temple-street, and the soldiers
being Irish too, there appeared to have been a
warmth of feeling between them that indoml them
to be present at the station. The bell rang to indi-
cate the moving of the train, but notwithstanding

rancitillPh The hanks of the rivers and till the
landing-quays were crowded with a concourse of
:dame 10,91N1 persons. Flags were hoisted ton the
banks of the river, hearing ingeriptions of " Wel-
come," and discharges of cannon and small arms
were fired. The vessel was decked tout with flags,
and the brave Neapolitans being descried on the
deck, the people, as she steamed tip the river, rent
the air with their joyous aeclantations. The cheers
were taken up again by the English on board the
ship, and indeed by the exiles themselves, and the
seene became altogether tone of the most exciting
description. Upon the Juverna nearing the quay,
%V. 11. Langton, Esq., Ml'., and a few leading
citizens went on 'ward to piy their respects to the
brave Italians, anti to assure them if the warm Plitt.
lathy of the people of this country. The party who
boarded the JllVernil were accompanied by Signor
Bainiani, an Italian gentleman residing at (lift ~,,,
mid by Mr. Heed, othiploroker, who has lived in
Italy ; and those gentlemen, kindly acting as inter-
preters, a kind of impromptu meeting was liehl in
the chief cabin. ,Ir. H. E. Allen, of the Angel
lligh.street. freely proffered the exiles the
hospitalities of his house. Signor Hatniani ex.
pressed to Mr. Allen the thanks of himself and com-
panions for his proffered hospitalities, and said they
could not express their sense of the reception given
theta by the people of Bristol. They had long
k !WWII Ellglalld }Ai be the land offreetlotn, of kindness,
and of generous sympathy with the oppressed, but had
not hoped for such a glorious reception. Mr. Lang-
ton, M. I'., said nothing hail ever given him more
pleasure, tliati to welcome, as he tlitl in the name of
the citizens of Bristol, the brave but unfortunate
strangers, and to congratulate them that they were
about to set foot for the first time on the free soil of
England. He assured the patriots of the interest
felt in their cause by Lord Shaftesbury and wher dis-
tinguished Englishmen, and again welcomed them to
the ancient city of Bristol. signor Luigi Pramo, who
appeared much moved, thanked Mr. Langton. lie
tail it hail got abroad that they had mutinies 011
board the American ship, but it was not true. He
thought, with hisother friends, that there was no
country of the world on which they could set a foot
like England ; for they knew that directly they were
tut English soil they would be free. The scene which
ensued on the landing of the exiles baffles description.
Ifewpite the best exertions of Mr. Superintendent
Ilandcock and a strong body of police, the greatest
difficulty was experienced in getting from the ship to
the carriages, so eager were the populace to shake
hands with, and even to touch or see, the atrocious
. .

_
King Bouiba victims. The gentlemen were placed
in a line of carriages, from the shafts of the foremost
of which the horses were taken, and were taken in
procession and proceded by banners and a band of
music, winch one enthusiastic citizen had engaged,
through the city to the Angel Inn. The assemblage
winch gathered in the Iligh.street in front of the
Angel was immense. They were addressed in an
energetic anti eloquent Italian speech by Signor
Domeni Damiz. The speech was much cheered,
and subsequently the exiles adopted an address of
thanks to the citizens, which was signed on their be-
half by Achille Argentini. Thu Right Worshipful
the Mayor, James Poole, Esq., having been informed
of the arrival of the exiles, he, accompanied by the
town clerk, Daniel Burgess, jun, Esq., waited upon
them at the Angel Inn, and kindly addressed them.
He sail, hail be been aware of the time at which the
party would have reached Bristol he should, as chief
magistrate, have awaited their arrival, and in the
name of his fellow citizens have proffered them a wel-
come. He assured them of his sympathy and of the
sympathy of the English people. Signor Primo
erturued thanks to his worship.
