nation " Why, you feel, Mr. Attwood knowe all about it :

From all that peened and all that he observed, Mr. Baker

If all the perdu had gone to the poll as they then stood, it is
a leittee about which there is considerable doubt ate who
would hen get in besides Kr. Bagshaw. The pribabilitiee are
that Sir Dudley Hill would have been the man, with Mr.
Knight third upon the poll, end Mr. Atwood last. But
this is mere speculation. One thing, however, is certain ;
Mr. Atwood oast have spent very liberally indeed to have
got • position upon the poll worth having.
Mr. Attwood had a private re oat up stairs, at the Coo
Hotel. Late on the eveuing of the day before the poll, he
was heard by parties underneath paring it to and fr." rapidly.
Thou who had ocimaion to see him thought him agitated.
At about half-put ten o'clock Sir Dudley Hill, Mr. Baker,
and Mr. Hest, were together in another room in the same
inn. They were talking over the appearance of affairs. At
this raceseat, at Mr. Baker swears, a waiter opened the door
and said to Mr. Hest, " Mr. Attwood wants to speak to you
directly." Mr. Hain got up and was going out. Mr. Baker
tried to prevent him. Another rap came to the door, and
Mr. Hat was told that Mr. Attwood was waiting for him.
Sir Dudley Hill went out, and in a few minutes after ordered

fly drove from the ion to the railway station, in which was
Sir Dudley St. Leger Hill, who was never more seen in
Harwich.
Mr. Baker once agria that night saw Mr. Hut, the chair-
man, sad the other members of Sir Dudley's committee.
They were eating a quiet supper at the Cups, which was
" open " to Mr. Attwood's votes!
At the evil the next day, Mr. Besphaw polled 213 ; Mr

SCOTLAND.
EDINArIO2, .1 Alf. 23.
An awkward blunder has been discovered in the
Removal of Nuisances Act, which will in some degree
retard sanitary progress till an amendment be ob-
tained. By the English act nuisances on all high-
ways are illegal, but from a &aim by the sheriff
substitute of Perth, it appears that in Scotland they
are illegal only if on roads supported by rates; on
turnpikes they may offend sight and smell with im-
punity. The Sheriff of Edinburgh has also decided
that a manure depot, containing 800 cubic yards, is
not &nuisance because it is 280 yards from the nearest ' ..____
