ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.

The electicn of sheriffs for London and Middlesex
:cok place yesterday at Guildhall. There wee a aorasidenble
number of fiv !poen present.
Mr. RAMS pr,powd, in addition to the nerves on the list,
that of Mr. D. Nicoll (of paletot notoriety), anyhow' awl os
whose father he pawed a warm euhartium as men of business.
The proposal having been sreunded, Alderman Lawrence
and others claimed to be permitted to serve another year as
aldermen before being nominated for the shrievaity. Theta
was then a show of hands, which was declared to be in
favour of Mr. Nicoll end Mr. Peto.

The Lord Mayor, sheriffs, &c., retired for some time, and
on returning to the hall officially to declare upon whom the
choice had fallen, considerable uproar wee created by an
attempt on the part of Mr. Alderman Sidney to demand a
poll on behalf of Alderman Lawrence. The Recorder and
others interfered, bat Alderman Sidney persisted—his voice
bring each time drowned the moment he proceeded to ad-
dress i 6 liverymen in the hall ny cries of " chair," and other
exclamations. At length the Lerd Mayor, who had already
several times interfered ineffectually, descended from the
chair, and coming forward to the front of the hustings, ex-
pressed his surprise that a gentleman who was himself a
magistrate, should not know how to respect the authority of
the first magistrate of the cll. (Chet r!.)
Misses. Nicoll and Peto were then called on to express
their willingness to serve the office of sheriff.
Mr. Ntcont. ((who is quite &young man) stepped forward
th and did so, an ing them for the honour conferred on him,
and expressing a hope that at the end of the year they would
not have to regret their choice. Mr. Pero did not appear,
and the election being then over,
Alderman SIDNEY was permitted to address the meeting,
which he did for the purpose of explainingthat he demanded
a poll because he belittled Mr. Peto was thrust forward with-
out his consent. If he was certain that he would , he
would no: have interfered ; but he was opposed to fining
gentlemen for refusing to till the office when they did not
seek to be elected.
Mr. Alderman HEMPHERY said that Mr. Alderman Sid-
nay might have demanded a poll at an earlier part of the
proceeding', he having been then present, and when he
could have done so regularly and in order ; but he had
chosen to do so when it could not avail, and confusion be the
only result. (Hear, hear.)
A GENTLEMAN here stepped leeward and said, he believed
that Mr. Petro would serve, and that it he did not, he would
readily pay the fine. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks was then given to the Lord Mayor and
Sheriffs, and they haling acknowledged the compliment,
the proceedings terminated.

STEAM NAVY.

The puliamentary emntniiteo appointel is to in-
quire into the practicability of providing, by mettle
of the oommereol marine of the *gantry, a res:rve
steam navy available for national defence when re-
craved," have reporttd as follows :
Your committee are of opinion, which is corroborated by
the evidenee taken before them,
That mercantile steam ships, of the size and strength ne-
cessary for the recep.ion ot tuch guns as are in use in the
royal navy, woLI,I be a most useful auxiliary force for !m-
-aned defence: and your commiqee do not foreaoe any difti•
city in carrying G 4, such a cocaine.
That the prompt development of the whole available 'mari-
time resources of the country, in the event of threatened
hostilities, is most desirable, as a means for the preservation of
peace.
That the steps necewary to seeder such mercantile steam-
ers available for the purpose, and the remuneration to be
given by the public fur Eating them and holetice them liable
to be called into the pubic service, must be matter of
arrangement between the owners and the government, upon
which your committee do not deem it necessary to offer an
opinion.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JUNE 18.

The Freeman's Journal has a long statement about
the health of Martin, the convict, which represents it
as miserable. The government has taken on itself
the responsibility of carrying out the sentence in his
cue.
The funeral of Surgeon Carmichael took place on
Saturday. It was attended by the leading profes-
sional men of Dublin, and a concourse of respectable
citizens.
It is stated in the Cork Reporter that in one of the
chief streets of Cork there are fourteen shops closed,
and in the main street of Clonmel there are not less
than twenty-two shops shut up.
It was supposed that Orangeism was dead, and
that we were not likely to hear mere of it, but our
pleasing anticipations were erroneous. The founda-
tion-stone of a new Orange hall has been recently laid
at Newry, with great pomp and ceremony. The
proceeding is realty somewhat remarkab!e, and is a
sign of a retrograde course in the " men of the north,"
who it was fondly supposed had been growing more
rational of late years. The inscription on the founda-
tion-stone states that the grourd for the erection had
been given by " Arthur Wells Blundell Sandys Trum-
bull Windsor hill," otherwise the Marquis of Down-
shire.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1849.

Permission was given to all to go out, but to none to
come in.
The 17th behaved with great gallantry, and brought
in not hail than 200 muskets.
When the insurgents were taken, about six o'clock
in the evening, to the Hotel de Ville, General o.mean
was there, and the soldiers cried oat loudly " Vive le
General!" General demean then drew near, and
mad: " Soldiers of the 17th,—For some time past the
army bad not any reason to be satisfied with the
seamier in which you carried your colours ; but your
conduct to-day has covered you with glory ; you have I,
rehabilitated yourself in the eyes of the country, and
I hereby return you thanks for your gallant conduct.11
The soldiers replied by renewed cheers. Three of the
17th, who had gone over to the insurgents, having
been made prisoners, were immediately shot by their
boner comrades.
Daring the whole of the night sf:cr the combat,
Lyons was occupied militarily. The bridges were all
guarded by artillery and cavalry; the Prefecture, the
Place des Terreaux, the Place de Belleeonr, the Hotel
do Ville, the Pales St. Pierre, the Palais de Justice,
&c., were all occupied by the infantry. The houses
at the corners of the principal streets were held by
parties of infantry.
The night passed over with the utmost calm, and
everything on Saturday appeared to imply that the
tranquillity then existing would not be troubled.
The official returns of the deaths by cholera in
Paris, cn the 14th, are as follows: In private practioe,
220; in the civil hospitals, 112; in the military hos-
pitals, 23. The comp'cte returns for the 13th are not
given, but, as far as they go, they show a further
diminution. As one of the singularities of the cholera,
it is remarked that the two military prisons of Paris
have had only one case, which occurred on the 19th
April, and ended fatally.

THE WATERLOO BANQUET.

Last evening the Doke of Wellington gave the
annual bthquet at Apeley House, in celebration of the battle
of Waterloo to the officers who par icipated in the honours
of that memorable achievement of 'British valour. Ia the
morning above 1,000 calls were made at the ducal residence.
The distinguished personages invited to the entertainment
Absgan to arrrive at 7 o'clock His Royal Higlinese. Prince
Albert was eceived at the porti:o by the Duke of Welling-
ton, attired in the full uniform of a field marshal. The
noble duke conducted his illustrious guest to the saloon, in
wbich the whole of the Waterloo officers had collected
previous to the banquet, to all of whom the prince bowed kis
respects.
The illustrious duke was supported on his right by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, and Field-Marshal the Mar-
quis of Anglesey, and on the reverse side by their Excel.
leneies Prince Castelcicala and Count Kielmansegge. Covers
were laid for eighty persons, and we believe there was only
one vacant place, which arm from the sudden indisposition
of a gallant general. The repast having concluded, and the
dessert having been placed an the banqnetting board,
The Duke of WELLINGTON rose and gave the health
of "The Queen." The toast was drunk with due honours,
the band playing the national anthem.
Prince ALBERT then rose and said he thought it only
right that the next toast on the present occasion ought to be
that of the Duke of Wellington—the gallant hero of the
battle they had that dvy met to commemorate. (Hear,
hear.) His Royal Highness said he would not attempt to
panegyrise the character of the noble and gallant dole, but
at once ask the company to drink to his " Health, long life,
and happiness."
The tout having been drunk with enthusiasm,
The Noble Duke expressed his gratitude for the honour
conferred upon him, and enured his guests of the continued
pleasure it afforded bin to meet them on the anniversary of
their great struggle for liberty.
The next toast proposed by the noble duke was the
health, of the survivors of those present at the battle of
Waterloo.
The NOBLE DUKE then gave the memory of those
brave men who fell at Waterloo—a sentiment which, as
mail, was drank in solemn silence.
After a short pause,
The NOBLE DUKE said I have now to propose a tout
which I always do with a great deal of pleasure, and that is

THE POLICE COUBTS.

MARYLEBONE.

THE 0110lN.ORINDINO NVISANCE.—An Italian named 1
Bartorelli was brought before the sitti.ig magistrate, Mr.
Broughton, to answer the charge (preferred under 2 & 3
Vic., cap. 47) of caueinx an annoyance by playing a street
organ, and refueinx to desist when required to do so.
Mr. Edward Elkins, a solicitor, residing in Park-villages
West, Regent's-park, deposed that on Saturday evening last,
at 9 o'clock, the priseuer was playing in front of his dwelling,
and as Mn. Elkins was seriously ill, and directions had been
given by her physician that quiet was absolutely necessary,
prisoner was told to go away, as there was some one ill in the
house; upon receiving which intimation he moved on a
short distance. and in defiance of complainant, began " grimi-
ng " at his instrument again.
In reply to Mr. Broughton, complainantsaid that prisoner
continued to play fur more than ten minutes after notice
had been given to him to quit ; he was ultimately taken
into custody by police-constable Ooding, 339 S. The pri-
soner, in sourer to the charge, stated in Italian, that it was
at the next house he was playing, sad not in front of that of
the complain .at ; when told to desist he did so, and on
going a few doors off he merely finished the tune in the
middle of which he had been stopped ; had he not have
pursued this course hie organ would have sustained consi-
derable injury.
Complainant said that the prisoner's statement was not
true ; the nuisance in the neighbourhood had arrived at a
great pitch, and it was high time that it was put an end to.
Mr. Broughton, after cautioning the prisoner as to his
conduct in future, fined him in the mitigated penalty of Ss.
or a week's imprisonment. The money was paid.

From New Orleans we learn that tee great c-evasse
has not yet been closed, and the city is, with a sin Ili
exception, neatly covered with water. Ne artheless,
the Mississippi was rlowly falling, and this gave the
eit zens much consolation. It was expec'ed that the
levee would ere lout be repaired. In the meantime
the cholera continued its ravage', and had
carried off many victims of mark. Along
the western rivers its desolatioa continu-d. The
disease has male its appearance in this city and is on
the increase. Vessels bringing in emigrants have it
on board, and report the loss of many at sea. On
Saturday, the cases amounted to 13, with 7 deathr,
and since that the number has been on
Monday 23 cases and 7 deaths, and to-day
39 cases and 11 deaths. Teem was a meet-
ing of " Odd Fellow.," yesterday, from all pars
of the country, and to this the increas is attributed.
Thus far it seems to have attacked of ly certain locali-
ties and an unfortunate class of people. It has not
assumed its most virulent form, and has not the came
charactiristica which it presents d in 1832. Nevirthe-
liss, it is fatal in its course, and excites much alarm.
It touches our pockets, and hence many tears. A
very large number of our citizens will, undoubtedly,
leave the city if it gets much worse, and business
will be materially affected. We cannot help think-
ing, however, that we meet it under many faccu•able
circumstances, as we have in this city an catens've
system of sewerage and plenty of pure and whoh.-
80M3 water, which" was not so before."

THE POLICR COURTS.

SOUTHWARK.
THREATENING TO MURDER MISS VINCENT OF THE
VICTORIA THEATRE.—llarrieg White, alias ('tale, a youeg
woman of respectable appearance. wee charged wi h attempt-
ing to extort money from Miss Vincent, and threatening to
murder her.
The complainant. who was attended by Mr. Johnson.
stated that about three months ago the prisoner waited
about the stage entrance of the Victoria Theatre until the
performancts were over, and as she was pissing from the en-
trance to h. r carriage t..e prisoner rushed upon her with a
large stone in her right hand, with which she violently at-
tacked her. She also said that she was determined to do for
her. Fortunately, however, the doer-keeper mid Mr. John-
son were close by. or murder might have been committed
She was eventually secured. brought to this Court, and sets
towed to three months' imptigonicent, which had expired
only within the last week. On Friday morning, while com-
plainant was in the lobby of the theatre, the prisoner rushed
in, and wanted to see her, and on bring refused an interview
she said she was determined to have her life. On the door •
keeper threatening to send for a policeman she ran away,
but witness thinking that she m.iht carry her threat into
execution, obtained a warrant against her, and she was ap-
erehendert by Winch, one of the officers of that Court, in the
course of the day.
Mr. Seeker asked what was the re-eon of her making auch
threats towards her. Had the any claim on her ?
Miss Vincent, in reply to the magistrate, said that the
prisoner had no claim on her, and she rould not account
for her conduct. She knew nothing about her, except see-
ing her as a ballet dancer at one of the theatres.
Eiger, the stage doorkeeper, proved the previous attack
by the prisoner on Miss Vincent. He also said she rushed
into the lobby on Friday morning and demanded to see
Miss Vincent, as she was determined to do for her. Wit-
mer told her to go away, when she became extremely vio-
lent, so that he was compelled to send for a constable.
Before the arrival of the latter she made her (nape.
In defence the prisoner said she was extremely terry for
her conduct, and would promise not to repeat it if the Ma•
giitrate would forgive her.
Mr. Seeker told her that it was impossible for him to take
her word after the threatening language sad the furious
attack she had used towards Miss Vincent. He should
accordingly order her to find substantial bail to keep the
peace for six months, and in default of that he should com-
mit her for that period. The prisoner exclaimed that it
would be impossible for her to find bail. She hoped Miss
Vincent would not send her to prison again. Miss Vincent
said she could not trust her any more. She had attempted
to strangle her, and had been punished for it, but as soot as
she was liberated from jail she hemmed about the theatre,
and demanded money, and on being requested to eo away
threatened her life, and she really hclievtd she would muraer
ker. Mr. Seeker ordered the prisoner to be removed, and
on her commitment being made out she was sent to prison.

until then did the delivery-up of arms take place.
Geirgey is reported to have set out, accompanied by
General Soblick, for Comorn, where be was to hive
a personal interview with Klapki concerning the
surrender of the fortress. It is even rumeured that
the Hungarian general is already at Freeburg, and
that he will make his appearance at Vienna to-morrow.
It is asserted that Klapka has declared himself re-
solved to hold out Comorn. Meanwhile Ouiloy, the
Minister of War, has appointed a term for the sur-
render of the garnsor, beyond which they will no
looser obtain the same favourable conditions.

DIIILIN, AL'Ot6T 25,
The weather has again became humid, but though
thero is a want of sun the temperature continues
high.
An article in the Cork Reir,rter entitled, " Con-
sistency and Common Sense," has obtained much
public notice. It is a retractation of repeal opinions,
and professes tt e opinion of that journal that repeal
is now a mere speculative subject. It says th►t
" when a political purpose becomes impracteable,
the further advocacy of it is aboird and mis-
chievous." It is only to be regretted that such views
did not break in earlier upon the party, which
used to scout at that portion of the Irish
community, which slavers asserted the impractica-
bility of Repeal. The article also contrasts somewhat
I widely with the solemn vows and pledges of all kinds
Iby Young Ire'anclism never to abandon the cause
against " the Saxon." As a decided proof of the
ebb of Repeal opinion, the article is of value.
The proceedings yesterday at the Dublin,
Rath-
farnham, and Dundrum Railway, will startle the
sober tastes of your renders in England. From first
I to last it was a scene of clamour, auger, and vitupera-
tion—a Railway " row."
Only the first day of the Phoenix-park races was
well attended, though the spirit on each day was
very fair, some of the races being closely contrasted
One of the least pretentious persons in the throng
of officers was Prince George of Cambridge, with his
qaiet well-bred air, conversing good hussouredly with
his brother officers, amongst whom, judgiog by their
deportment towards him, he appears to be a decided
favourite.
The Marquis of Wa'esford was one of the most
prominent figures in the betting ring, and a more
good humoured sportsman no class could exhibit. He
looks fresh enough still to perform hardy exploits :
his well knit limbs and athletic make would mark
him out in any crowd.
The officers who rode the races ware very different
in appearance from their dismounted comrades in
front of the standhouse. They were sweated down,
and looked spare, and somewhat meagre. They were
all handsomely dressed, and most of them bore them-
selves gracefully enough to distinguish them from
plebeian jockeys.

have reason to think that an elision of the two places
for Parliamentary purposes would not be objection-

dissent to such a proposition, it would come from

Tax LIAM ADMIRAL OF Till FLEBT.—The late Admiral
of the Fleet, Sir James Hawkins Whitthed, Batt , who died
on Monday last, was the representative of an ancient Irish
family, bring son of the late Dr. Hawkins, many years
Bishop of Rapboe. By marriage the deceased was connected
with the noble house of Portland. In 1791 he was united
to the daughter of C opt. Albert Bentinct, R.N., grand-
daughter of the first Earl of Portland. In the same year
he assented the name of Whitabed. Sir James, when
midshipman on board the Diamoad, was employed against
the revolted American colonies in 1788. He was lieutenant
of the Sandwich at the capture of the Carat= fleet. He
also served under Admiral R..dney at the defeat of Lengths
and the relief of Gibraltar in 1780. He was captain of the
Namur while the fleet was stationed off St. Vincent in 1797.
While rear admiral, he, on several mothers, had the com-
mand of squadrons of line-of-bottle ships. He received •
medal for his conduct at the battle of Sc. Vincent, and in
1797 had the honour of being gacetted fur hie services. His
commissions were thus dated : Lieutenant. Sept. 4, 1778 ;
commander (never captain), April 18, 1780; rear admiral,
Feb. 14, 1799; vice.admiral, April 3, 1804; and admiral,
July 31, 1810. On the Bth of January, 1844. he became

DISTURBANCES AMONGST HARVEST LABOURERS.—
Anothsr distortional has occurrtd in the neigithourh,od of.
Stamford in consequence of Irishmen being engaged by the
farmers se assist in harvest work. The native labourers are
slow to admit the Mot that if the Matinees veers not em-
ployed, there would not be sufficient hands to get in the har-
vest, and much of the produce of the soil would be lost. Mr.
Jetts Beesaltead, of Belmiethorpe, and Mr. John Lars, or
Ryhall, had each last writ engaged Irishmen to work for
them, upon which some of the misguided men in the neigh-
bourhood met is a body end expelled the strangers from the
fields. Gas party of Irish took mine in Mr. Brombead's
barn, but the Ryhall men followed them, broke open the
door, and ejected the poor fellows; Mr. Broathsert then
invited them into his boner, and the native labourers at-
tempted to follow, bat Mr. B. presented a gun at the party,
and threatened to shoot the first men who mode an effort to
aroma his threshold ; this deterred them, and they then pro-
ceeded to Behniethorpe Lodge (Mr. Lowe's farm-bonse), and
commenced dentroyiag the crockery and furniture. Ater'
routing the Irish, they left ; but sesisteamo having bees ob-
tained, and the aggressors being known, four of the ring-
leaders were subsequently taken into custody. and easuakted
to Gaithens Cade for trial for riot and stsdemessoure

At the present period when gir.rantesd and pre-
ference shares have attracted and continue to attract
so much attention from capitalists and the moneyed
public, the following calculations (which we
take from a circular just issued by Mr.
Thomas Allstp) may be found useful as exhibiting
the rate of interest yielded in perpetuity by the pric-
e cipal of these secured. a. It is well known that
guaranteed shares have absorbed a large amtunt of
the surplus of the money market during the peat
half-year. Of this fact, indeed, there is sufficient
proof in the general tine in value which tl;ese shares
have obtained since January last, and this in face of
events which have exercised a most disastrous influ-
ence on the value of moat descriptions of railwaj
property.

FIRE AT ARNO VALE.—On Tuesday lest, about
four o'clock, p m., a fire broke out in the stackyar3 of Mr.
Cherie, Sneath, Arno Vale, by which two new haystacks,
with part of an old one, and a stark of seeds, of this year's
growth, comprising in the aggregate about fifty tons, were
consumed, with the exception of a very small portion, which
is rendered quite unfit for use. The fire originated from corn•
bastion in consequence of the hay being got too soon, and
the stacks being too heavily thatched down. On the dis-
covery of the fire, the most prompt attention was paid to
err, at its progress, but as three stacks were oa fire at the
same time, its complete extinction did not take place urtil
about 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning. As is too fre-
quently the ease, there were parties who attended the fire,
not with the design of suppressing it, but to take advantage
of the excitement which is always caused by such disastrous
occurrences, laying their hands upon anything which they
tan conveniently take possession cll.—Nottingham Rer

AO; here, quelled them with leas difficulty than the
regular military. This time, however, the spirit of
order seems tei have left them. At half-past 10 the
drums were summoning those who live nearest the
scene of action, and at 11 others who live at • dime-1
canoe, A good many of them did not appear, and
among twee who did there was no subordinatioe.
The dragoons kept the rioters off for a long while.
They kept on firing at them and their horses; killed
one man on the spot, and wounded another so badly
that he is probably dead by this time. The rioters, as
well as those burgher guardsmen who had joined
them, were in a state of intoxication, and fired some-
times at Dad lel by which people were wounded, who
were only lookers on. When they found they could not
get at the Prussian., our dragoons defending them so
nobly, they took it into their heads to barricade the
Drehbahn on both ends; this being about two o'clock
in the morning, they could of course not find many
waggons or other objects on the streets for their per-
pert:, but whatever they could lay their hands on they
carried there. Our regular infantry being at last or-
dered to fire on the nuters, soon got master of them,
but it was a long while before they could clear
the alleys and yards which lead to the Drehbahn, be-
ing barricaded on one side at least, and the darkness
of the night hiding them in their nooks and corners.
At d eybresk, however, the job became less difficult
It was about bait-poet four etore all was over, and
workmen could begin clearing away those puny bar-
ricades, or, properly, hurdles. borne horses were
killed.
As far as I have been able to learn, about fifty
wounded persons were taken to the hospitals, besides
those who may be at private houses.
Unfortunate as these results are, their ulterior con-
sequences may weigh still more heavy upon our
doomed city. With the fate of Cracow before our
eves, we must really tremble for our independence.
Russia, who granted rich a boon to Austria, could
hardly refu-e it to Prussia; and though Austria
would grudge it, she could nut with any good
grace deny it, after having accepted a similar plum.
Another' correspondent writes of the same date,
that the senate had proclaimed the riot act early en
the 14-h, and that there was no appearance of public
order being further disturbed.
