ISLE OF WIWI ELEcnox.—Everything promiNes
well fur the return of Mr. Dawes; the canvass has been
most promising, and encouragement has been afforded from
numerous parties where it was least expected, while a few,
and we are glad to say only a few, have allowed themselves
to be neutralised by intimidation, though in a position to
enjoy the luxury of independence. Mr. DAWex will be
proposed by John Bonham Carter, Esq. l'ortanunals
Guardian.

DISCONTINUANCE OF THE DAILY SERVICE AT ST.
PAUL'S CATIIEDRAL.—Notice has been put up at the
northern and southern porticos of St. Paul's Cathedral that
the usual morning and afternoon divine services will be
discontinued for the present, creept on Sunday., and on
Thursday, the 2fith instant (being Ascension Day, or Holy
Thuiscla)•), so as to enable the workmen to complete the
preparations making for the anniversary of the charity
school children, which will be held on Thursday, the 12th
of June next. In consequence of this edifice having been
opened daily to the public gratis, from nine in the morn-
ing till six or seven in the evening, since the Ist instant
(without the disgraceful and so long complained of charge of
2d. entrance), the number of persons who have already
visited St. Paul's has on an average been from 25,000 to
30,000.
DESTRUCTION OF A FLOUR MILL BY FIRE.—
Yesterday morning the flour mill of Messrs. Norton, at
Wolverhampton, one of the largest in the town, was found
to be on lire. Several engines were immediately on the
spot, but such was the rapidity with which the lire spread,
that by half past 2 o'clock the entire roof of the building
fell in. The building is now a mere ruin, scarcely any-
thing having been saved except the engine, to rescue which
the exertions of the firemen were, from the first, directed.
The cause of the fire has not been discovered ; the men only
left work at 12 o'clock on the previous night, and it was
found in dames at 1 o'clock in the morning. It is supposed
it must have arisen either from an explosion of gas, or from
the friction of the wheels of the smut mill. The damage
done is believed to be upwards of 20,0001., but the pro-
prietors are, fortunately, insured.
DEATH OE ME. MOTT, TILE POOR-LAW AUDITOR.
Mr. Charles Mott, the auditor for the South Lancashire
poor law district, expired on Monday last. Mr. Mutt had
incurred the displeasure of the poor law board, on account
of the defalcations of the late collector for Hyde, who ab-
, mended with moneys belonging to that township in his
i possession. Mr. Mott, it was considered, had neglected 'to
verify certain accounts, the examination of which would
have led to the detection of the state of the collector's
1 balances before he had time to get away. Mr. Mott was,
therefore, suspended from the further prosecution of the
audit he had then commenced. In this state things con-
tinued up to a recent period, when we believe Mr. Mott
received instructions to proceed with his work, and be was
to have commenced again on Monday morning week. On
Sunday, however, he was found in hisbedroom, having been
seised with paralysis, and though conscious at tropism
travels, he poke from the time the appalling
