THE FIRST ErNICIERL ELECTION under the new charter
took place at Warrington, on Tuesday last. Considerable
difference of opinion had existed previous to the election, as
to the desirableness of substituting a municipal form of go-
vernment for that magisterial form which had previously
existed ; and thus the first election was, in a greet measure,
a contest between corporator* awl anti-eorporators—the
friends and the opponents of the charter. The result of the
election is a very considerable majority (18 to 9) in favour of
the new charter. The list of the successful candidates in-
cludes (says the Liverpool Times) the names of many of

Arrimrrao Moans.—On Wednesday morning an
attempt was made by an agricultural labourer, named Win.
Lambert, residing at Bitteawell, near Lutterworth, to
murder his wife, while she slept. It would appear, that
the man has for some time entertained jealous suspi-
cions of his unfortunate victim ; that he rose be-
tween four and five o'clock, deliberately locked the house
door, concealed the key, and, having poseessed him-
self of a razor, and returned to the room where his wife
slept, he there inflicted a wound upon the enfortunate
woman, extending from the bottom of the neck, below the
left ear, across the throat to the right ear. She awoke, and,
by a sudden exertion, contrived to escape down stairs, when
she forced the door and reached the erect. The neighbour-
hood having been alarmed by her cries, assistance was im-
mediately rendered. The wounded woman was promptly
attended by a surgeon, and Lambert was handsel over to
the custody of the pehoe. The woman's life is considered
t• be in great danger.",

COUNT D'ORSAY'IIiQUEEN VICTORIA.—COUIIt D'Or-
say has just completed a full-sized figure of her Majesty on
horseback. The hone, an iron grey, is in the act of
bounding forward: the Queen, in a red riding-habit and a
black hat, sits confidently. The likeness of the Queen
is pretty good, but the action of the figure ia too much in the
riding-master's style.
Charles, to late times to be transmitted fair,
Assigned MN figure to Bernim's care;
And great Name to Mueller's band decreed
To Az him graceful au the bounding steed.
Queen Victoria was reserved for Count D'Orsay's pencil.
The picture is to be Rea at Griffiths', in Pa
