____ THREATENING LETTER CASE AT BOIV-STREL"T.
—Sir,—ln your account yesterday respecting the British
Museum, the reporter has made some snaitiss. The party
amused was not an attendant in the reading-roam, nor was
be ever in that capacity. lie was a supernumerary attend-
ant in the library of printed booka, and had lately been em-
ployed as supernumerary porter or gate-keeper, in the *b-
lence of the regular one.—J. CATU. I. 01/ MUM, riper -
intendenta.—Beading-room, British Museum, Aug. 13, 1847.

THE QUEEN'S MARINE TOUR TO SCOTLAND.
The Victoria and Albert brought up soon after 7
o'clock on Wednesday evening in Yarmouth Roads (I. W.),
within a short distance of the shore, the other steamers in
the squadron anchoring outside. Soon after daybreak on
Thursday morning the Victoria and Albert signalled the
squadron to get under weigh, with orders to the Scourge to
take the lead. In a short time that vessel bore up, taking
the usual course for the Needles passage. Aboutfive o'clock
all the fleet were steaming onwards, the Fairy, Hotline,
Black Eagle, and Garland following the 'Victoria
and Albert. Before the squadron, however, bad pro-
ceed 6 or 6 miles, a fog came on, and it was deemed
prudent to run into Allurn Bay, near Freshwater, just under
the Needles rocks to the eastward. In the coarse of an hour
or so, the weather somewhat cleared up, and the royal yacht
was again pot under weigh, and by 9 o'clock had well
cleared the rocks, and was bearing to the westward. There
was a smart brut: blowing up Channel, 8. W., but compara-
tively little sea. At fifteen minutes past 10, a.m., the royal
squadron was abreast the coast-guard station at Swanage,
eastward of St. Alban's Head. The passing of the Scourge
about an hour previous bad notified to the inhabitants the
approach of the royal yacht, and no time was lest in putting
off sailing boats and other craft to catch a glimpse of the
royal party. In the meantime, those on shore used every
expedition in hoisting colours on every prcmincnt
place, and in a brief period the scene along this
part of the coast appeared quite enlivening. The squadron
was seen at length bearing down ; but, to the mortification
of many, the unfavourable state of the weather kept the
royal fleet off the coast about three miles. At noon the fleet
passed Osmiogton, near Weymouth, passing the offing down
the channel, and steering about west, a long way out.
Numerous yachts were stretching out to greet the squadron
as it passed. Early in the afternoon the fleet was off Port-
land Bill. The weather was foggy. Several guns were
fired from the Black Eagle and others of the escort, but
whether it was a salute or signals could not be observed, in
consequence of the hazy state of the atmosphere. The fleet
went outside the Race and Shambles Shoals, and when last
seen wu steering a channel course to the westward. At
Torbay, the trip was impeded by a dense fog. At baltesst
three o'clock in the afternoon the royal rquadron ran into
Dartmouth Bay, and anchored there for the night. Owing
to the weather, the royal yacht has not accomplished 100
miles of the voyage. Up to eleven o'clock the fag still
prevailed.

ROYAL ASYLUM OF me ST. ANN'S SOCIETY.--
Yesterday • half-yearly general court was held at the
London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a retort from
the committee and electing 12 children into the establish-
ment. The chair was occupied by John Bright, Esq. The
report, which was very brief, ended that the society con-
tinued in a prosperous state, and that the Prince of Wales
had become one of its royal patrons. After expressing their
warm acknowledgements to the clergy for their renewed
countenance and active interest in the society, the committee
stated that they were still anxious to accomplish the im-
portant objects of a " town asylum," and entreated sub-
scriptions is its aid. Since the last report the society had to
deplore the loss of Lady Imhoff, who had been a liberal
benefactress to the society, and left a memorial claiming the
reverential gratitude of its friends. The report was una-
nimously adopted. The Rev. J. W. Austin, rector of St.
Nicholas Olavc, was appointed chaplain.
SHAKSPEARE'S HABITATION.—A public meeting
4111.1 held last evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms,
for the double purpose of hearing Mr. George Jones
pronounce what he terms his oration, and for getting up a
subscription amongst the working and middle classes, in
order to swell the funds now collecting for the purchase of
the dwelling of the immortal Bard of Avon. At eight
o'clock, the room being tolerably well tilled by an
auditory, the majority of whom were evidently of the
working classes, Mr. Jones made his appearance alone on
the platform, where he delivered an oration which lasted
for considerably upward, of an hour. The real business
of the meeting was then begun by Mr. Jones referring to
sundry apologies which he had received from the parties to
whom he had applied to preside over the meeting ; amongst
others, from Lord Dudley Stuart, who, it was stated in the
bills, was to have taken the chair. Mr. Jones then sug-
gested that he was ready himself to take the office of chair-
man, if any one present would move to that effect; and the
hint being taken, the motion was seconded and agreed to,
Mr. Jones then entered at very considerable length into a
statement of his proceedings in respect of Shakspeare's
dwelling, which it is unnecessary to repeat. A series
of resolutions were then proposed, one of which
was the nomination of Lord Dudley Stuart (in his
absence) treasurer of the funds collected, and a
second nominated certain persons to act as a committee—the
only name mentioned being that of Mr. Albert Smith.
Others. to the number of nine, were then read ; and on its
being suggested by the chairman that they should be put
all together, a discussion ensued as to the propriety of ad-
journing the meeting, which lasted until past eleven o'clock,
when the motion of adjournment being negatived, the reso-
lutions were carried ; and thanks having been rated to the
chairman, and to Mr. Martin (the proprietor of the rooms,
which were lent gratuitously for the occasion), the meeting
separated at near half-past 11.
CONSERVATION OP VALUABLE BUILDINGS PRO-
MOTED BY A RCILEOLOGISTS.—The increased value given to
the ancient structures of a county, in the eyes of their proper
guardians, and those immediately around them, by the visit
of a large body of persons from London, must be evident to
all, whether they have personally observed the fact or not.
And the effect is, that these buildings are looked at with
more inquiring eyes, and their preservation, and in some
cases restoration, is made more likely. The charm of these
buildings is marvellous—the beauty of the majority of them
put analysis : and when they are examined by men of varied
attainments, taste, and views, brought together on these
occasions, remarks are thrown out and opinions elicited
which rouse the mind to inquiry, and lead to aknowledge of
the principles on which they were constructed.— Thelinarter.
SUPPOSED ROBBERY OF 10,0001. IN EXCHEQUER
BlLLS.—Yesterday information was forwarded to all the
police-stations, and placards issued offering 2001. reward for
the recovery of the following Exchequer Bills, which have
been lost or stolen—viz.: 4 for 1,0001. each, dated 16th
March, 1847, numbered 10,205 to 10,208; 5 of 1,0001. each,
dated 15th June, 1817, numbered 2.118 to 2,122 ; and 2 of
5001., of the some date, numbered 1,348 and 1,349.
INQUEST, YESTERDAY. DEATH AT GROVE-HALL
LUNATIC Asetusc.—By adjournment before Mr. Baker, at
the Five Bells, Old Ford, Bow, to inquire into the circum-
stances relative to the death of John Mills, aged 42, an inmate
of Orove-kall Lunatic Asylum, Bow, who was found dead is
bed. Mr. Byers, the proprietor, was present. On • pod
modem examination by Mr. W. P. Baker, deceased was fotuid
to have several ribs fractured. The deceased, on Tuesday
night, occupied a crib enclosed by boards, and which was
2 feet 4 inches in width. There were flannel bandages en
his wrists which were fastened outside the boards, which pre-
vented him from using his hands to do any injury to him-
self. Next morning ho was found by the wardsman (Lynal)
with his head over the side of the crib, life being extinct.—
Mr. Wm. Pares Baker, surgeon, Bow, said that he found a
mark on the deceased's chest, and, on opening it, there were
six ribs broken on the right aide and fire on the left side,
which may have been caused by the pressure of his chest oa
the sides of the crib. The brain was soft, and in some
places disorganised. Death was the effect of the injury m
the chest and ribs, which would act more readily on a
person whose braia was in such • condition ; and his only
wonder was, that a man with his brain in such a state could
have lived so long.—The verdict, after describing the
death of the deceased, recommended that, for the future,
a constant vigilance should bo exercised over the lunatics la
the establishment, in order to prevent the recunenos of
accident.—The Coroner trusted greater caution would be
taken in future—The jury observed that more than oes
person ought to be in a room where there were so many
patients, and that there ought to be one always on duty.—
Mr. Byers observed that he was ready to act in conformity
with any recommendation, of the jury. The Coroner re-
marked, that where there was any want of caution it should
be his duty to instruct the jury, on another occasion, to
return a verdict of manslaughter, as it was the duty of every
one who was placed in the situation of Mr. Dyers to provide
every me ne and care for the sustentatien of human life.—
Mr. Byers said that he thought the remarks of the coroner
reflected on his treatment of the patients under his Care.—
The Coroner remarked that this was the second case of as
inquiry by him on a patient who had died from the effect of
fractured ribs; and he thought that he bad done nothing
more than express the opinions of the jury.—The Jury
observed that they agreed with the coroner's remarks.

HARVEST PROSPECTS.
Canzansountas.—For some days the weather has beat
rather variable than otherwise in this quarter. On Friday
evening we had • heavy fall of rain, winch was exceedingly
acceptable to the gardener. On Saturday evening it was
also showery ; but, on the whole, bright weather has prep
derated, and the cutting down of the harvest is peoftelt
with little interruption. Judging from what we have ow
of the fields in this neighbourhood, we think that very little
grain will be left steadiest by the end of the present week
and the crops of all kinds appear to be luxuriant in the
highest degree.—Cambridge Advertiser.—The harvest in
Whittlseeahasbegun, and the crops are extremely geed,
particularly wheat and barley : of beans the &menet, are ad
so favourable, the fly having made great ravages. Ponder
'till maintain a healthy appearance : tke disease has sg•
peered in some places, but upon a very small scale, and le!"
terly has made no progress. Upon the whole, everything
this fertile district gives promise of an abundant harvest—
Lincoln Mercury.
CAILDIOANSHIRE.—It is impossible to describe the lass-
rianoe of the crops now fast ripening for the harvest. la the
immediate vicinity of Aberystwith parties have begun star{
their corn. To give an illustration of the lust:roma of it
crops, the writer has seen a stalk of wheat, grown on the
farm of Mr. Richd. Claridge, Gloucester Hall, near Abort-
with, of the extraordinary length of 79 inches.--Eams
Journal.
Cause or GOVME.—Harvest is hastening on Noel.
Favoured by a season of unexampled fineness in every rt.
spect, vegetation has been approaching to maturity lath
unusual sapidity ; while fair supplies of moisture have
enabled plants to retain their strength throughout, and this
to ripen their seeds not only quickly but thoroughly.. 011
some dry soils, indeed, barley is ripening rather too rapidly,:
bat this is a mark of a season favourable fur the crops A
general ; for sad is it for the country when, through super-
abundance of rain, a rich green hue is apparent at this tow
of the year on braeside fields where the soil is thin sad the
surface of the earth little removed from that of the miliFf
rocks underneath. Moisture in June, and coin=
drought in July, are always acceptable to the
farmer, when combined, and this in the present seam kdo
been the case. Several fields of barley will be reedy for 'tat-
ting down within ten days, unless rains intervene. Mask
has been siid about damage done by the maggots of the
wheat fir ; but we have reason to believe that the early sad
late fields have generally tamped, and that thaw of a

themediate character in the Low Cane bans alone suffered
M a serious W
extent. The foliage of beans in some came
eeithere prematurely, and on some fields about one stalk in
two, th er:thered is foliage ,
,and rotten at the root ; but
thwe is a prospect of a goodyield of beans on the whole..
nese show tokens of the ravages committed by the pub in
.a will on many farms be mach deficient in bulk.
,e,'",.lkeve come forward with almost tropical luxuriance;
.1-1.-" the veils this may render them liable to be mildewed in
theena.—Drindee Advertiser.
lannelou.—That this is " fine filling weather" is the
mint in the
succeeded every ono. The drought of last
week b. been by moisture this week. On &aut..
ay there were heavy showers, and almost every day since
or km rain has fallen. Ou Thursday it rained heavily
for9:mts time. Thu change has been of great benefit to the
his.surn turnips and to pastures, which were suffering
racer Jet from want of moisture. Harvest has partially enra-
ged may be expected to become general about the
ReaDers might be seen at work yesterday at Liberian
*Ma Blackford, and Lochend, all in the immediate vicinity
of the eith ; and we uudentand barley has already been cut
at Brosbarn, Dalkeith, and Prestonpans. There was new
wk. Edinburgh market on Wednesday
_(from East
Lethae), and also in Dalkeith on Thursday. The quality
way raidto to good, but it was very row in condition. A
&tom who lately made a run through Fife (by Kirk-
eekly and Auchtermuclity ) to Strathearn and Perth,
assures us that the planting of potatoes along that line of
reed armed confined to cottage gardens and a ridge here
sal there, and he was assured that many of the Perthshire
farmer', who were wont to be large growers, hare this year
planted only a few roods each.—Scotsman.
FOUARPRIRE —ln many Instances the turnips are already
covering the drills, giving the pleasing prospect of abund-
thee in due season. The hey crop is heavier than it has
been for several years, and, with the exception of such as is
reserved Sue seed, has been secured in excellent condition.
A geod deal of barley was flattened in the early past of
the meth the heavy rains that accompanied the vieleet
thuadertiorm a ith which we were visited ; and, as the filling
process was scarcely at that time commenced, and very little
of it has since risen, it cannot uow turn out to bo of much
value. individuals will thus sustain considerable loss, but the
injury done is not to such au extent as to influence in any
degree the gent ral market. Oats are thinner on the ground
this ws have seen them, but they hue a large head.
Tkex are relatively later than the other crops. Such was to
be expected from tie early devastations of the grub worm ;
but the ear being somewhat farther from maturity than it
wild otherwise have been, is almost the only trace that
gem imam hare left of their destructive operations. Of
fallow wheat we have almost none, and need not come-
gaudy gay anything concerning it. After-crop is suffi-
dully bulky ; but we are net very certain whether it may
be equal in quality to that of last year, the weather during
the flowering period being less bright than was desirable far
winging the grain to its utmost perfection. Viewing the
grain crops as a whole, we have great reason to be thankful.
Mast assuredly none of them appear to be below an average,
ud barley is allowed on all haads to be above an ordinary
produce. Beans are tall, and will yield abundance of
straw ; but we fear there has been too mach moisture for
their earning well. With weather such uwe have had for
some days past, patches of barley will be ready for the sickle
in about a fortnight, and general harvest will probably be
commenced by the last week of August. —Dundee Advertiser.
NORFOLIC.--The harvest is already commenced ; yea, and
mime of the new corn may, even at this very moment,
have been converted into food for man. The general har-
vest may be expected to commence in the early part of next
week; and it appears unqu ,stionable that wheat, oats, and
barley, will be found to yield a full average produce, with
the smallest possible amount of defective grains where there
are indicatiMS of the presence of blight or mildew.—Norfolk
Chronicle. _ .

lY ORTRUMBERL AND.—During the last ten days, the crops
bare made rapid approaches to maturity. In many places,
the autumnal tint is observable, and some small patches hate
been reaped. Peas have been cut this week at Kilbam, and
Brumbaugh, near Corbridge, at Wooler, and at Bebside
Kill. The wheat along the coast is in admirable condition,
u are also the oat and potato crops. Concerning the latter,
we her little or no complaint. In some fields the disease
is noticeable in the blackened spots on the foliage, but the
instances are happily few and unimportant. The rain that
fell so copiously on Thursday will contribute much to im-
prove the potato and turnip crops. There is not, we ought
also to notice, any trace of disease in the latter vegetable.
Should the present fine weather continue for another fort-
night, the sickle will be in extensive use on the banks of the
Tuna.—Neiceartle Guardian.
YORISH I kE.—The weather of late has been gloomy, wet,
and cold for the season. We had rain yesterday morning,
the barometer, however, indicating a favourable cheer,
which partly took place in the afternoon. The recent rains
bane, of course, been favourable to turnips, which, in this
neighbourhood, u elsewhere, have suffered much from
drought, and will, we fear, prove an indifferent crop. Fine
weather is only now wanted to make harvest operations
general, many crops being already stooked in the neighbour-
ing fields. Potatoes continue to yield abundantly and with
comparatively few instances of disease—Doncaster Ch

THE ELECTIONS.
CUMBERLAND (WEST).
The election for West Cumberland took place at Cocker-
mouth, on Wednesday. The High Sheriff (Mr. Gilfrid Wil-
liam Hartley) having bespoke an impartial hearing, Mr.
Irwin, of Colder Abbey, proposed Mr. Stanley; and the
nomination was seconded by Mr. Poatlethwaite, of Diver-
stone. General Wyndham proposed Mr. Henry Lowther,
and the nomination was ably seconded by Mr. Kelsick
Wood, of Maryport. No other candidate having 'been
named, the High Sheriff declared Mr. Lowther and Mr.
Stanley duly elected.—Mr. Stanley returned thanks far the
honour thus done hint for the fifth time. In parliament he
had resisted inroads which were calculated to injure British
indusory. The corn laws had now fallen by the hand of Sir
R.'Peel, and he for one would do nothing to prevent the
free-trade changes from having a fair trial, and hoped,
almost against hope, that the country might in the main
be benefited. He then referred to various other topics,
and declared that he would oppose the further endow-
ment of popery, or any rash invasion of the navigation laws.
The hon. gentleman concluded by assuring both friends
and opponents that he should be ever found at his post,
and always ready to attend to the local interest* of all his
constituents, and especially to the interests of the poor,
whom he congratulated on the improvement lately made
in the poor law, though it was still not what it ought
to be--Mr. Lowther also addressed the electors This
was his first step in political life, and he was, therefore,
unable to relief to past conduct as an earnest of the future ;
but he touted that he had a name in which confidence
might be placed, and he pledged himself to do his duty.
The hon. gentleman went on to touch on the several topics
of the day. Like Mr. Stanley, be would do all he could to
give the free-trade system a fair trial; at the same
time he was ready to give to the agricultural interest and
the labouring interest those compensations to which
they were entitled by reason of the late government's rub-
mission to the Anti-corn-law League. He would do his
boatto prevent further inroads upon the constitution, whether
by the endowment of popery or any other scheme for timel-
iest down the principle of the glorious revolution of 1688.
Hs etmeidered the good of the church the good of the Mate,
6e each needed the support of the other.—Thanks to
the H' h Sheriff were moved by General Wyndham,
resoled ly Mr. E. Stanley, M.P. and carried by seclatna-
tlea.—Mr. Hartley expressed his acknowledgments, and
the return was dirtied upon the hustings.—After a round of
cheeriag, the hon. members and their friends returned on
foot, in procession, to the Globe Inn, where at the early
hear atone o'clock upwards of 400 persons sat down to a
rerst, the members presiding over two of the tables in the
Igmeipal room and alternately propoeing the to In
responding to hie health, Mr. Lowther referred to what had

position and property of his family in the two counties en-
titled them to use their influence quite as much as the Earl
of Carlisle was entitled to " interfere" with the eastern divi-
des; and rather more than the members for Cockermouth,
one of whom had no connexion with Carlisle, though very
bmy in election time, and the other of whom was a Scotch-
Men, with no pretension whatever. Yet whole volumes
were poured out about " Lowther influence," and not one

It is stated that Bir Lucia. O'Brien will be returned.
There is much excitement in the town of Ennis, and con-

of the poll on Wednesday evening.

CORK (COUNTY).
There has been a very Mornay meeting of the Übaldo
Cork. Mr. Roche and Dr. Power attended to take monad
with their constituents, when the Rev. D. Kesrsey lactated
Mr. Roche very sharply, and declared that he would not
hmeg spa angle voter. Mr. Roche replied, and the breach
wee heated for a time. The pledge question was intro-
duced by a Mr. Denny Lane, but the nonsense was negatived
without a division. The result of the whole was a deter-
mination to march with united forces against Macroom
Castle and the Hone Guards, but there must be more libe-
rality in supplying the munitions of war. The candidates con-
tributed3oo/. each ; the remaining gums did not reach 1001.,
including 201 from Maurice O'Connell.

I°l)** d by the Hon. S. P. Vereker, seconded by Mr. A.
Blake.—Mr. W. H. Gregory, the lately defeated of
Dublin, was proposed by Mr. Martin, end seconded by Mr.
Oka Eyre.—After the candidates had severally addressed
the constituency a poll was demanded, but the gentry,
amongst whom on this occasion the election lay, met in the
crewing and decided that so no repealer was in the field they
would not bane a contest. The choice fell on Mr. C. St.
George and Cept. Burke ; Mr. Gregory and Mr. Kirwan
mnrulg. Capt. Burke is a whig ; Mr. St. George a tory.

Tut PSOIIIIBI4 OP • N/W 1113111111.—Mr. Panes
O'Connor, M.P. in his last week's Northern btar, says;
" I will net wrist place, patsies, or emolument, from any

fur hard work, and it is my intention to devote Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays—or rather nigbte—the three
important nights of the week, to my parliamentary duties ;
the days of Wednesday and Thursday, which will be receiving
days, to our banking operations; and Friday, Saturday, and
Monday, and part of Tuesday, to building houses and culti-
vating the land for you; and all this I undertake to dis-
charge with more attention and punctuality than if I had
only one of those services te perform. On the first Monday
in each month I will meet my constituents of Nottingham,
enfranchised and unertfranchised, in the Exchange of Not-
tingham, there to confer with them upon those subject. in-
teresting to their town ; that is, I shall devote that day, not
to a public meeting, but to confer with committees appointed
by the several trades, professions, and classes, te instruct me
in local matters, interesti
ng to the town of Nottingham; and
I will present myself in the market-place at the elms of
, each session, and will tender my resignation, if required to
do so by a majority of the non-electors or of the electors
u I would not consider myself free and unshackled,
if not supported in my office by a clear majority of both.
When I appeared at the Exchange window, to address the
countless thousands that stood before me in the market-place
of Nottingham, I addressed them in the character of which I
am proudest, as Bailiff to Paupers, and instead of gratifying
myself by receiving the conratulations of my Mends, I started
for my cold quiet home," to prepare my balance sheet and
your castles for the forthcoming Conference ; and there, as I
promised you, you shall ace no such item as " sundries," and
no charge, even for my travelling expenses to visit or purchase
estates. No, you dear confiding fellows, it shall be toy joy
through life, and your children's joy when I am no more, that
here lies the body of one whose life was devoted to the poor
—who never accepted pay for hie services—who lived down
prejudice, lived usefully, and died a pauper, inscribed upon
my tomb. I have shown you that I fearlessly advocated
your principles, that I mean to carry universal suffrage and
annual parliaments into practical effect, and I mean also that
you shall carry into effect the payment of members ;—that
is, that the nation, not Nottingham alone, shall pay
ine COOL, per annum at the close of each session, if the
people are satisfied witlt my services, and that that sum shall
Its spent to the fraction in enabling me to discharge duties
incumbent upon the office; such as the payment of
secretaries and clerks, in transmitting parliamentary paper+
and reports of parliamentary proceedings to my own and
other censtituencies. Of this expenditure I shall also
furnish a balance sheet each year, and I claim the
compensation as a means of remunerating those without
whose cervices I could not transact your business. Upon
stated occasions, I will meet you in public, but no power on
earth shall induce me to neglect the interests of the Land
Company. I look upon all parliamentary honours as pig-
mies, compared to that increasing giant. I now turn to
one of the most pleasing of my duties—to tender my thanks
and gratitude to our old friend, James Sweet, my former
and late proposer, and friend William Mott, and Ilemm,
my seconder; to honest Roberts, who was ever by my side,
and though last, not least, to the Old Guards who consti-
tuted my non-electors' committee, I cannot find words to
thank them, but perhaps they will receive the following an-
nouncement as a welcome substitute. A gentleman, from
whose mental resources, from whose capacious mind and
philanthropic heart, and front whose purse also, I have
drawn stores of mental improvement and pecuniary aid, and
in whose society I delight—a man who is, not the milk, but
the cream, of human kindness—has, in the excess of his joy
and fulness of his liberality, presented each of my non-
electors' committee with five pounds for their services. Can
words describe an act like that? And when the time comes
for his sitting by my side in the House of Commons, will not
the nation consider him a friend )"

PEEL

It is stated in an analysis of votes, published for Mr. Car •
michael at one o'clock on Wednesday, that of the 180 polled
at that hour for Mr. Mackenzie, 93 are fictitious, leaving 87
good Toms. A majority of 14 bowl fide rotes is consequently
claimed for Mr. Carmichael.

ROSS-SHIRE.

The election of a knight of the shire for this county took
place at Dingwall, on Tuesday last. Mr. Mackenzie, of
Appleeross, the late protectionist representative, having de-
clined to content the county, Mr. James Matheson, of
Achany and Lewis, late M.P. forAshburton, and brother of
the present member for that borough, was the only candidate.
—Mr. Mackenzie, of Seafortb, proposed, and Mr. Macleod,'
younger, of Cedboll, seconded the nomination of Mr. Ma-
theson. There being no other candidate proposed, the
Sheriff declared that the election had fallen on Mr. Mathe-
son, who was, therefore, duly elected to serve as their repre-
sentative in the ensuing parliament —Mr. Matheson. in
returning thanks, called their attention to one subject
of great interest to the proprietors and farmers of the
country the game laws, which he desired to see repealed.
Although he had voted in favour of the grant to Maynooth,
as that institution had been established before the union, he
would resist any grant of public money to endow the Roman
catholic priesthood of Ireland. (Cheers.) The bon. gentle-
man deprecated any. interference with the Scotch system of
banking. He was in favour of the principles of free trade,
and had supported the various measures introduced by Sir
Robert Peel to unfetter trade and commerce ; and he hoped
soon to see the shackles that still remained entirely removed.
After again thanking them for the honour they had con-
ferred on him, he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to
the sheriff, which was carried unanimously. The hon. gen-
tlemen was then chaired round the town twice, amidst the
plaudits of the inhabitants, who were unanimous in their
praises of their new candidate, who is extremely popular in
the county. In the evening about 230 gentlemen eat down
in the Caledonian Hotel to a sumptuous entertainment, pro-
vided by the liberality of the newly-elected member.

TI PPERAR Y (COUNTY).
On Wednesday morning last the Earl of Snirdale, high '
sheriff of the county, opened Use proceedings of the election
at the count -hall, Clonmel. The Queen's writ having
been read. John Power, Esq., of Garteen, proposed N.
Maher, Esq. Mr. Lampbier seconded the nomination.—S.
B. Barton, proposed P. Barker, Esq., whose nomina-
tion was seconded by Mr. J. Cooke.—Archdeacon Lappets,
in a violent and incoherent tirade egos mil Istd, Lord .1.

who was seconded by J. Bac— Messrs.
Pennefather and Carden nominated .It.Oalleit, Esq.

ciumstances connectedwiesdamisemW,lba which
was that Mr. Bagwell, a send melismt YssMee7r had can-
vassed the county, sad lading 1814 se chasm be with-
drew from the contest. He they semlimed by ingW, that
Mr. Collett was entrapped lido fib contest by those who re.
carded him as a pigeon and would pluck him. Mr. Collett
bad denounced the people of beim' as morderers—m per-
sonal who could be got to kill a man for a glans of whisky.—
Mr. Collett asked Mr. Maher if he bad heard him VW
these words?—Mr. Maher mid he had not; but re.
ferret to Hansards Debates, where Mr. Collett's wards
were printed. He also assailed Mr. Collett as a
supporter of the Coercion Bill, and also for making an at-
' tack on Mr. O'Connell. He did not say Mr. CoUett had
mentioned Mr. O'Connell by name, but he had incidentally
referred to him, for he wished •• to put down agitation ;"
and then next showed that he had expressed his approval of
the Peel administration on the state trials. He (Mr.
Maher) said he saw the villany in the state trials. The
jury list for that trial bad been stolen. Who stole it ?
(Loud cries of " Collett," followed by cheer and laughter.)
He believed if Mr. Collett knew how that trial bad been con-
ducted, he would not have approved of it ; for the jury was
pecked, and the judgeatnorant. He (Mr. Maher) then
as stated that he w a re er—an advocate for an honest
law, securing tenant right, and for an absentee tax.—There
were loud calls for Mr. Barker the conservative candidate.
—Mr. Cook, on the part of Mr. Barker, apologised for his
absence, but promised he would soon be there, and as their
"m • .tative.
Mr. SCULLY claimed their suffragee—first, as being
approved of by the people ; and, secondly, ea having
a large landed property in the county. He contended for
the prosperous condition of Ireland whilst it had a native in-
dependent parliament ; and described the lamentable state
to which it had been reduced since the passing of the Act of
Union. The repeal of the %mien was the question to be de-
cided at this contest. He declared his determination to

support the tenant-right.
Mr. COLLETT next presented himself to the electors,
amid loud groans and immense chsering.—The High
Sheriff entreated that Mr. Collett might be heard.—Mr.
Maher also appealed to the electors to listen to Mr. (Collett.
—Mr. Collett said, his rejection at Lincoln was Ito be at•
tributed to not having bribed. As to his standing for
Tipperary, it was suggested to him, when he visited
the place in that county which he travelled to every year,
and where he employed SOO men, and where, he might add,
he had already expended 79,0001. He was also connected
with many railways in that county, and he had proposed
the establishment of a large number of railways, before
Lord George Bentinek brought forward his plan. He was
for tangible mean, of prosperity—he was for giving certain
employment to the population, and thus benefiting them
by acts, and not deluding them by words. Repeal was
merely& prospective measure. He believed that a local parlia-
ment would not be of any service to Ireland—(groans)—but
he did not see the ohjection to it, if a local parliament would
do good ; but the question was, how was it to do good?
(Cheers and groans.) When a Coercion Bill was talked
of, who spoke of it? (Cheers, and cries of " Your
party.") He was of no party—he was not a fol-
lower of Sir R. Peel nor of Lord John Russell.
He was independent —Mr. Scully : What brought you
here ? Mr. Collett replied, Your incompetency, air,
brought me here. He then said if the young gentleman got
into parliament he would not be two months there before his
incompetency was proved. He then said if Mr. Maher re.
signed, and the county returned Mr. Scully and himself, he
would retire, if, in two years, he did not do more good by his
practical measures than Mr. Scully by talking about repeal.
