REPRESENTATION OF PETERBOROUGH.

On Friday evening, a public meeting of the
' electors was held at the Town-hall, to enable Mr. George
Hammond Whalley, the candidate in opposition to Mr.
1 Cornewall Lewis, to givoa further detail of his political
opinions. The hall was crowded to suffocation. The chair
was taken by Mr. JOHN WHITWELL, who expressed his
gratification at observing the great interest their proceed-
ings appeared to create. For some time part certain parties
bad treated as • joke the declaration of the radicals, that
they intended to bring forward a candidate. Dr. Waiker
, and hir.hlai shall had taken upon themselves to bring forward
I Mr. Lewis without towelling the electors; but that gentle-
man did not suit them fur their representative, and they had
passed an opinion to tbat effect at &public meeting. Mr. Whal-
ley, on the contrary, bad received their approbation ; and
he was gratified in having to state that their small party
occupied such a position as would justify Mr. Whalley In
going to the poll. He then introduced
Mr. G. 11. WHALLEY, who acid—l am not yet committed
as a candidate for Poterboroogh, and without believing
my position better than it is, if I appeared as sanguine of
success as Mr. Lewis seems to be, I should have issued a
placard to say that my return was certain. I think it due
to the city to be careful before committing myself ; but I
must say that I think • contested election is certain, if my
canvass continues to be so successful as it has hitherto been.
I will again trouble you with what seems the relative
claims that Mr. Lewis and myself have upon you for this
election. Mr. Lewis, as a tried parliamentary man, has a claim
before me, and being so, I am surprised he should not have
had more syrnpothy with you than to continue in the field
after the verdict of the public meeting had been pronounced
against him. Mr. Lewis too, is far more a stranger to this
district than I am; for I have been placed io a position in
the public service of great responsibility, and if I had not
discharged its duties correctly that would before this have
been brought forward against me. Mr. Lewis, again, has
not confidence in his principles or himself, or in the parlia-
ment to which he might be called, for carrying out those
principles. In the great question of cheap bread there is
this eifference between us—l will avail myself still further
of the principles of Sir Robert Peel to extend to all other
articles the same freedom of taxation as to bread. There is
nothing that affects all classes so much, nothing so impor-
tant or so much desired as • re-adjustment of taxation.
Bread is reduced one fourth in price, while the value of
tea, sugar, soap, and other such articles consists actually
of one fourth and one-half duty. These must also
be reduced, and a fair and judicious re-adjustment
of taxation becomes the necessery supplement of the mea-
sures of free trade. By these taxes on necessaries, the cost
of living in England is double that of any other country,
and they are caused by the taxes laid upoa us during the
late war. Mr. Lewis and I both agree upon their injurious
tendency ; but while be suggests no remedy, I am for taking
the duty off those articles, and placing it upon fixed pro-
perty. Such is the feeling now throughout the country
against having the necessaries of existence taxed, that if
the plan I name is not adopted and carried out in peace, it
will be carried out in defiance of the rulers, and by so out-
rage of the constitutional laws of the country. lam an
egriculturist myself, and it is a sense of duty that causes
me to stand before you, the electors of Peterborough. Se-
veral electors excuse themselves from giving me a decided
answer, because they cannot go so far as I do in respect to
the ballot; and others, as having promised to give a vote
t4Mr. Lewis, which they regret. Upon this point both of
us assert that the present system is a positive
cover for all sorts of intimidation and corruption,
and Mr. Lewis admits that the present plan of open voting
must be corrected, but he does not say how. I never heard
of any other way than the ballot, and, for the sake of
genial and political morality, I trust that it will be adopted.
(Hear, hear.) I bad always thought that the patriotism of
Englishmen wool I be sufficient to prevent all hesitation
between duty and personal iiiterest, but the experience of
the last four months has shown me that it cannon be so, fir
such choice of duty before interest has resulted in my own
country in the expatriation of several of the best and most
sterling men I ever knew of. Mr. Lewis and myself agree-
ing in liberal opinions, I can only account for Ns wavering
and quavering, and for his avoiding a full and complete
explanation on political subjects, to his looking for-
ward to an influence not derived from the people but
against them. Mr. Lewis evidently calculated too much
upoa other people's influence in Peterborough, and made a
mistake in submitting himself to a public meeting, where
he was tossed about upon the waves of adverse opinions,
end thrown upon the shore a complete wreck. He had not
met them with that candour which was demanded of every
one appearing before the people, but he had relied upon
the weight of a single party, who could not, because he
was not allowed by law to interfere to such matters. No
man, I am sure, is there to be found who will regret such
imentations more than the noble earl who is alluded to,
and Ido not for one moment credit the assertions made,
that he will force Mr. Lewis upon the electors of this city,
whether palatable to them or not. That respected
nobleman may be compared to one of those grand
forest trees, Round which there will be found
weeds, creepers, and parasitical plants, and these pre-
tending to be a part of the trunk, take upon themselves to
Inertias an iullisence to which they hays no right. I
would say to then persons, men who live as tenants under
the home of Milton, don't be misled by hangers on and
diners on. (Cheers.) Think more of your duty than of
those unworthy suggestions and those false representations,
made by such creepers in his name. (Hear, hear.) By
some the name of ultra-radical has been given to me, but
none of those who bandy about such an imputation
appear in the field against me. I have said nothing
to give currency to suck reports; I have not even
touched upon the black book of pensions, or gone through
the political fraud and perversions of the money which has
keen dragged out of the people's pockets, and voted by •
House of Commons who have not the paying of it. Such
subjects I have not dilated upon, nor have I adverted to the
systematic corruption which has led to the adoption of the
present sys•em of electoral franchise. The ballot, in my
opinion, is far more deal ruble than an extension of the
suffrage. An extension without the ballot would only bestow
cursesinstead of benefits by demoralising still greater num-
bers than are corrupted by the present system. Ido say,
therefore, if anything is worth your support, first and fore-
most, it is the ballot. But the great point upon which
I solicit your confidence and support is the liberation of
Peterborough from a domination and noraineeism which
are as injurious to the city as they are unpalatable to the
noble person whose name is used u a cover for that nomi-
neeism. It is, I am:certain, false that this influence is in-
tended to be 'imbed in this election ; and it is the first
time in the history of elections that I have heard of • can-
didate rejected like Mr. Lewis by • public meeting being
kept before a constituency in the absence of all explanation
either by himself or by his friends here. As I have before
said, I shall not dislodge Mr. Le aria upon say light grounds,
but, if the success which has hitherto attended my canvass
should continue, I shall feel it my bounden duty
to become • candidate for the representation of your city.
It is no small sacrifice on my part for the first time to op-
pixie the whip, with whom I have so constantly and uni-
formly acted. To those 60 or 60 persons who hesitate to
pledge themselves I would say that my sacrifice is far
greater than any they can make on this occasion, and
therefore let them pause in their sense of public duty no
longer, but support me in the sacrifices I am prepared to
make In their service. (Applause.)
Mr. W. THROETTE moved the following resolution:—
" That this meeting approves the sentiments and conduct
of Mr. Whalley, and considers him fully entitled to •
continuance of the support of the constituency of Peter-
bosough.
Mr. ALDOATI ascended the resolution.
Mr. SHELTON proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman,
and the meeting broke up.

FRENCII °TETER FIRTIERIRS.—The Journal de
Marrouws states that in consequence of the late low tides
the oyster fishery, which is at this part of the season car-
ried on by hand, hu been very productive. From 2,000 to
3,000 persons may be seen busily employed in tearing off
the oysters from the beds, and loading earls with them.
Several families are said to have last week gained as much
as 300 francs in ono day by their work. On the lit October
this mode of taking oysters is brought to an end. They
are th,n dredged for in boats, from 300 to 400 of which may
be aeon at work at one time.

THE MURDER OF THE SOLDIER OF THE
Mar REGIMENT.
The following particulars of this atrocious and
brutal affair are given by the Cork Examiner.
Franfor, THIALSIDAY Nth tur.—The place where the foul
deed was perpetrated is Templenoe, midway between ler-
men and Ballyhooly ; and its deep seclusion, it being situ-
ated at the toot of two hills, and thickly shaded with trees,
would, et the first thought, lead one to suppose that it was
selected by the murderer as a tit place fur the commission
of the crime. Such, too, was the impression which at first
prevailed, and which was almost heightened into conviction
by the circumstances attendant on the deed : but upon in-
quiry it appeared that the guilt of the murderers, how-
ever great, was not, at all ennui, aggravated by premedi-
tation, and that the scene of thi it crime was determined
by chance and not selection. This is the only mitigating
circumstance in the murder, for otherwise the deed was a
must foul one, and the teenier of pain and horror which
its commission has excited in the minds of the inhabitants
of this town—both rich and pour—leas riot even yet sub-
sided. In every quarter the murderers are denounced,
and the must active, and at present apparently successful,
effurts are being made for their discovery and apprehension.
The facts of the cue, so far as they have transpired, are
these: it appears that on the night of Tuesday, the 21st,
two privates of the :flu Itegen. et, James Degas, the de-
ceased, end John Thompson, merit from Femur to Belly-
booty, to sisit a policeman of the name of Rice, who is
stationed there, and with when they were acquainted.
They left Ballyhooly about six o'clock, and reached the
Widow allarath's house, at Templenese, about seven. They
turned tutu the house to get Wally tobacco and a pipe, and as
the deceased woe in the act of receiving his change from the
widow, sonic five or seven men also walked in, apparently
for the some purpose. On entering the shop one of them
trod on the loot of 'Thompson or Degas, who thereupon
ad. reseed some words, must probably merry one., to the
offending new comer. Thu the other resented, and ad-
dressed his competition in Irish; lout Thompein, not being
acquainted with the language, cannot state what the nature
or mewing of the cipresnun was. Some altercation and
heeetling then took place, used after some difficulty the
widow induced the new comers to leave the how. She
then barred the door, and urged the deceased ere! his com-
rade to remain fur the night ; but this they ',hoed to do,
saying that they should reach their barracks that night, and
alter come time left the house. 'They were nut long gone
when she heard a rush of men towards her house, and then
a knocking at the door for admission ; but she, tearing that
it was the countrymen who were returning, refused to aduiit
the applicants. She then beard the noise i f stones vio-
leetly thrown, and on its ceasing she went out and found
the deceased lying under a hedge, a yard or so from her
door. lie was then quite dead, though the body w. s warm.
On Wednesday Constable J. Cuainore arrested, upon private
information, a former of the name of Patrick Ilynu, in York-
street, Cork. His face is much cut, which he saes, we have
been informed, was done by a soldier, and he is from the
neighbourhood of Templenoe, where he holds 96 acres of
laud. Up to the present, however, he hes borne a moat
unexceptionable character. Another man—one of the par-
ties we are Manned to the murder—is also in custody, and
he has given, we are also hammed, inch information to the
authorities es cannot fail in leading to the apprehension of
the other parties implicated in the crime. The magistrates
of the district have also ceded a meeting of the inhabitants
of Fermoy for Saturday, at one o'clock, to give them an
opportunity to denounce in the most emphatic manner the
perpetrators of the slender, and to originate a sub.cription
for their detection. It may lie proper hero to stele that
Bartlemy Fair—the focus for all rutlienism in the count
of every class and description—took place on Monday, and
th it the Fernley fair was held on Tuesday ; soil it is, there-
fore, inferred by some people that the murderers ore most
probably souse of those who were present at thew fairs.
FEILMUY. FUIDAT was held this
day by Mr. Barry, the coroner, to the Court Iloure. The
first witness was private John Thompson, the comrade of
the unfortunate deceased. lie deposed as :
' Private John 'Thompson sworn—l recollect Tuesday the
21st inst. Left my barrack at a quarter put two o'clock
that day in company with deceased, my commie. We got
liberty from our officer to go, and we both went to Belly-
booty, after leaving the town of icrmoy. We reached
Ballyhooly between 3 and 4 o'clock the sumo (ley. I dare
say we were about three hours in Ballyhooly. It was about
7 o'clock when we left. We dined with the sergeant of
police at liallyhooly. Tbo sergeant of police was
with deceased. Ileud deceased say that the con-
stable and himself were both from Kilkenny. Hed seine
porter after dinner. I drank one glass of spirits before
dinner and one or two glasses of porterafter. I touk the glues
of whiskey on arrival at Bellytiooly. The demised also
drank one glue of whiakey. I was perfectly Belau when I
loft the Police Barrack. I think the deceased was also per-
fectly sober. The day was rather declining when we left
Ballyhooly. Deceased got a sword cane at the Police Bar-
rack, but 1 cannot tell who gave it to him. Before we left
Ballyhooly we went into a public-house, and 1 drank three
or four glasses of porter. I can't tell who paid fur it. De-
ceased drank some of the porter, bit I cannot tell how
much. We then left, and the met house we went into was
aboat halfway between Ballyhooly acid Fermny. Deceased
went in to light a pipe, and he asked me to re:company
IteAfter we went in some men followed us into the
. Had no quarrel with any person can the road after
we left Ballyhooly, until we cause to this house (Mrs.
WOrsitt's). About a minute after we went in I saw the
men that followed us. There were between 8 and 11 men,
as far as I could judge. When we west in I saw an old man
sitting by the fire, and a middle aged woman. The men
must have come in atter as. The men that came in began
pulling ns, and one of them made a box at me. There was
nothing offensive mid by us to warrant these men to begin
pulling us. The men were speaking NOM tient; amongst
themselves which I did not understand, but I don't think
it was English they spoke. 1 don't think I saw any of
these men until I saw theta in the house we were in. We
drank nothing in the house. When these men began to
push deceased, I think that deceased went to push them.
I can't say whether deceased said they (the men) had trod
on his fuot. The woman of the house prevaeed on the
men to leave the house. I saw none of these men in the
house whea we were coming out. I don't know what the
woman said to the men to get them* to leave. I did not
understand what the woman said. Besides the middle-
, aged woman I have described as being in the house, I think
there was a girl there also. When the man left the house, the
I woman closed the door and stood at it. She wanted us to
remain in tho house, and not go out; she kept us in against our
inclinations for a few minutes; to the beat of my opinion
' that woman did not want us to remain fur the night. We
told the woman that we should be home before half-past
sons o'clock. I don't recollect what reply she made to
I that. We went out, and between a minute or a half a
minute some stones were thrown at us. We acre then 6or
7 yards from the house. Saw a ',citron on the road when
we left the house. I did not see the persons who were
throwing the stones first. I think it was some of those
Sor 11 men I saw after on the road. Th it might be
about a minute after the stone throwing. It was dark
when the stones were thrown. I cannot say positively
that some of the eight or eleven men that were in
the house were thou I afterwards saw on the road. I
was hit on the shoulder with a atone, and I think deceased
was struck. The men came forward to us on the road,
and one spoke to deceased, bat I do not know what he
mid. I think it was that no person eliould strike de-
ceased. The deceased charged thew men with bring the
party who had thown the stone at us. I heard deceased
way to the man who had spoken to him—" Stand back—for
yen are as bad as any of the rest." Deceased was knocked
down by the first volley of stones thrown at us. It was
after that that I saw deceased speakiag with the man oa
the road. I said to deceased that I thought the man to
whom deceased was speaking was not one of those who had
beaten him in the house. But two or three other men WNW
at the time standing on the road near to deceased. One of
the three or four men on the toad struck at deceased then.

I cannot tell where the man went who was speaking to
deceased. I don't think that deceased snick at the man
who had been speaking to him when be had been struck by
the mail on the road. I had hold of deceased I.y the arm,
and I wanted to get him away as well as I could. I don't
know whether deceaaod had anything in his hand at the
time. Ile might. I did not see a 'wind cane in his hand
when coming out of the house. He bad it in the house.
He was straightening it in the house. That was after the
men had left the house. I think it was bent by striking it
agamst a table ; if not that way I know of no other. It
was then drawn. I can't say why it was drawn. We
changed our belts in the house. Deceased gave me his
belt. After the man had left the house, I teak otf my side-
belt to bend the breast-plate. The clasp amp breast-plate
broke, and deceased then gave me his belt. I got the
belt fur the purpose of defending myself if I was attacked
outside the house. 1 think deceaseu bad the sword.cane
drawn be fore he gave me hie bolt. We thought the men
would be outside the house and we should be attacked after
what had passed iu the house. When deceased was
knocked down I took hint up and returned for the purpose
of getting into the house at the mu. Deceased was a little
I before me. The stones were caning from the trout et the
house so that we thought the men were about it. We tried
to get in at the heck of the house. Deceased called to me,
hermit cried out that he was down. 1 asked him if any
perseu was with him. lie said there was. I replied that
was going to him as fast as I could. I went to him,
and found him its a hole on the side of the road. I
' helped hint out of it, and as I was doing so 1 heard
the sound of persons going away from the place where
I deceased lay. The persons went away in the direct
nun of Dallyhooly. I got him out of the hole, and we went
towards the woman 'e house. It was after that we met
and spoke to the men on the road, as 1 have already
detailed. Deceased, utter we gut him out of the hole,
said, as I think, " that saint people were un the op of him
beating him whilst he was down." We then went to the
house to try and got in. The dour was shut. We were at
the front door. I rapped and kicked at the door, and called
to the woman to let us in. I heard no person speaking
inside; but a sound of persons walking (witness here ex-
plained that the conversanue which had taken place be-
tween deceased and the man on the road occurred not
after the first fall, but on the second fall, whin deceased
was taken out of the hole on the road side) ; the door not
being opened, we tried to g.. 1 up un the road again, when
we saw a number of men on the road before us. They,. ~ ',71-77"

Deceased was then lying dawn. His be .d was towards the

deceased speak while under the bank. The last time I heard

He said, "do ma'am, please open the door." When de-
