Ate ANALYSIS OP THE VOTING AT THE LIVERPOOL
ELECTION has been made, by which it appears that Sir
Thomas Birch was indebted to the free traders for nearly the
whole of the support which he received at this election ; that
Mr. Cardwell owed his triumphant position on the poll to
the fact of his having received 1,171 split votes from the con-
servatives, is addition to neatly the whole of the votes of the
liberal party ; that Sir Digby Mackworth polled more
plumper' than all the other three candidates together ; and
that Lord John Manners was abandoned by the Orange tofies,
upwards of 1,500 of them having refused to give him the
benefit of their second votes.
FALL OF RAILWAY ADORES AND Loss OP LITI.—On
Tuesday evening, shortly after five o'clock, four arches fell
OR the new line of railway in course of formation between
Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, which was attended with
the lose of two lives. It appears that the line of arches from
Tonge. past Turner Bridge, and across Little Bolton, and
which are partially formed, have given way in this instance
in the clump on the northerly side of Turner Bridge. There
are eight arches in this clump, the most northerly of which
'You'd be backed up from the Darwen side by earth, but has
been propped. Three of them on the same side have had the
centres struck for some days, and on Friday the fourth
centre was struck. Being, in what may he termed the green
state, and having no pecking from the 'rouge side, they gave
way, and abut seven men (labourers) were at the top at the
time. Several sprang forward, leaping to the ground, on
feeling the arches give way, and escaped without much in-
jury. Two of them, however, fell amongst the ruins and
were killed.

A Meertmo has been held in York of some electors dissa-
tisfied with the conduct of the sheriff in refusing the nomi-
nation of Sir J. Lowther (in his absence), the party who
nominated not being prepared to deposit a sum adequate to
meet the proportion of the sheriff's expenses. They hare
determined to take counsel's opinion as to the right of the
sheriff to adopt such a course, and, if the necessary funds ran
be found, to petition parliament against the return. This,
however, is improbable, as both the leading parties are
interested in maintaining the return, and therefore will not
subscribe to invalidate it, and thus unseat their own friends.

Citation on ERTBERY.—The Town-ball, Hastin on
Monday was crowded by persons anxious to hear the gs
details
of a charge of bribery preferred against Felix Jarrett, who
had been taken into custody. Mr. Fisher appeared fur the
prosecution and Mr. Longboats for the defendant. Mr.
Longhorn said he would admit that the offence was one at
common law, and that complainant was a registered veter of
the borough. Mr. Fisher said as those two points were ad-
mitted, and as it was not necessary, in order to complete the
offence, that the person taking the bribe should vote in
accordance with the intention of the briber, be should con-
fine himself to calling his whet's. Stephen Davies Brooker
sworn I am a shoemaker, residing at St. Leonard's. I
know Felix Jarrett. He is indebted to me far work
done. He has several times promised to pay me. He
has at two different periods lately paid me a sovereign
on account, namely, on the 19th and 23rd of July.
On the last occasion he asked me how I was going
to vote at the election? I said I had not made up my
mind. I asked if he was on Briscoe's and Robertson's com-
mittee ? He said " yes." He said I had better come over and
help them. I asked him on what conditions ? He said,
"If you work for us, you will he paid." I asked him who
he wished me to vote for—Briscoe and Robertson, or to give
Robertson a plumper ? He said, " I would rather you vote
for Briscoe and Robertson, and I will give you 50s. at say
time, and another 500. previous to your giving your vote!'
I said, "Give me over the cash, and I wall vote." He did
not then give me the cash, and we parted. On the following
Monday I saw him : that was on the 26th July. I saw limn
again at his house; about midnight he came to me; I raid,
You have not given me the money to vote.'. lie said he
was not ready for me : but be would see me to. morrow, and
give me the money. We parted, and I saw him the next day
by the aide of Warrior-square. I was at the time with several
persons going towards Hastings. It was about S o'clock in the
evening. He was then in a fly. He beckoned to me to coma
to him. He then left the fly and came to me, and pat two
sovereigns and a half in my hand. I asked him for whom
I was to vote? and he said for Briscoe and Robertson. I
said " then you will give me the 61. you promised me ? I
have here two sovereigns and a half, and you will give me
the other 50s. previous to the day of voting ?" He said
that he world meet me at the Tivoli public-house on Thurs-
day, at one o'clock, with a close fly, that being the polling
day, and be would then pay me before I went to vote.
Time was short, eyes were about, and we parted. Having
got this money, I brought it up to you, Mr. Fisher. I com-
municated the fact of having received the money to Thomas
Smith and Michael Hanks. I told Smith of it that night
about 12 o'clock, and he then stamped the coin.—Mr. Lang-
ham cross-examined this witness at some length, without at
all shaking his testimony —M. Hanks confirmed the fact of
Jarrett and Brooker meeting at the place named oaths night'
spm:fled, and Smith's marking the coin in his presence.—
Mr. Laughs= haring briefly addressed the magistrates, they
retired, and on their return the mayor said they were
unanimous in sending the case to the assure.—Bail was then
tendered and accepted.

FRIVICH PLATO, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The per-
formances yesterday evening were far the benefit of the
actress who has invested with such interest the concluding
weeks of the season here, and, notwithstanding the unfa-
vourable eirennutanees of a time when " everybody " is, or
is supposed to be, out of town, the attendance wu very full.
The entertainments wire Le Mari de la Neuve, Racine's
Mithrielate, and Destouche's amusing comedy, La Fiume
Agnes. The tragedy. is by no means one of the author's
most striking productions ; and, in inferior hands, the he-
roine herself would be somewhat fiat, but Rachel infused
into the part a value which of itself it does not poetess. We
are much vexed at the non-production of Atlialie, perhaps
Racine's finest work, and our vexation is aggravated after
hearing Dinah Felix, Rachel's sister, a girl of tome eight os
nine years old, with a charming voice and manner, and ex-
quisite intonation, whose impersonation of Joa4 in this tra-
gedy has excited the greatest admiration at the Theatre
Francais. It is understood that the public owe this priva-
tion to the preposterous fastidiousness of the people at the
Lord Chamberlain's office, who, whenever the/ do interfere
in these matters, are almost always sure by their blundering
to give the censorial cffice itself a knock on the head.
