TAR BRADFORD aucTinic.

Though the issue of the above election is not a subject
for party dissatisfaction, both candidates having been libe-
rals of an advanced type, the Daily News feels some mis-
giving at the result on account of the claims advanced by
Mr. Thompson and his friends, and the character of the
objections urged against Mr. Mull. One of Mr. Dickens's
earliest sketches describes the election of • parish beadle,
and the various claims for support put forward by the
several candidates. " Bung for Beadle ; five small child-
ren " Hopkins for Beadle ; seven small children !"
" Timkins for Beadle ; nine small children !" " Spriggins
for Beadle ; ten small children (two of them twins)
and • wife !" The successful candidate at Brad-
ford adopted the same tactics. " Thompson for
member, in weak health at Dresden, and with an
invalid son." This pathetic appeal, with the touching
allusion to the sacred names of Thompson's grandfather,
seems to have carried the election. Mr. Miall was, we
presume, unable or unwilling to make political capital out
of his own bad health, or that of any member of his
family, or to tell any tales of • grandfather. He may
claim that he is the child of his works—his labours stand
to him for forefathers. The ground' of objection taken
against him were precisely such as would be expected from
men who based Mr. Thompson's claims on the family con-
siderations which we have mentioned. The liability to
be assailed by epithets such as local nobodies, knowing no
better and meaning no harm, freely cost at each other in
their parochial and municipal broils, is one of the reasons
which deter men of letters and culture from political life.

"The panic that prevailed at the Weat-end on
Saturday and Sunday," writes " Argus" of the Poet, " re-
lative to the settlement on the late week at Newmarket,
has abated, and on Monday matters proceeded very
smoothly, and outwardly there were no symptoms of any
scarcity of the precious metal. The large account to which
I alluded was entirely settled, as I assured your readers
would be the case, and the ring were as happy as a parcel
of schoolboys breaking up for the holidays. Whether
matters will mend next week remains to be seen, but if
they do not, the race of backers will become pretty near
extinct, for the whole season has been a frightful one for
them, as the market returns will demonstrate."

DEATH Or AN IRISH SPORTSMAN.—Mr. Frede-
rick W. Kennedy, a gentleman well known in Irish sport-
ing circles, died very suddenly on Sunday night, at bis re-
sidence in Limerick. He had for some years been muter
of the Limerick barriers, and, indeed, of late maintained
the pack almost at his sole expense, but failing health
obliged him to give them up, a step which preyed greatly
upon his mind, and appears to have increased the physical
decadence which necessitated it. Being unable to find any
sportsman in the county who could be induced to take up
the pack, Mr. Kennedy was obliged tu dispose of the
dogs by auction, and they were accordingly brought to
the hammer on Saturday, and purchased for the Hunt-
ing Club of Tipperary. Mr. Kennedy attended the atm-
, tion, and was so affected when be saw his canine favourites
consigned to strangers that he shed tears ; but the
animals treated hem to one last performance, which
aroused the slumbering Nintrod's spirit and seemed to give
him new life and energy. As they were tieing driven out
of the suction yard, they perceived a pet deer belonging to
the auctioneer, and an exciting chase ensued. The animal
sped through all the principal street. of Limerick, followed
by the baying dogs and an immense number of the popu-
lation, whose throats did duty for the huntsman's horn,
until it returned to its owner's premises, where it was
saved from the dogs. Mr. Kennedy declared that this
impromptu run afforded him more enjoyment than any be
had ever witnessed. The excitement of the unexpected
event seemed to have a very beneficial effect on bim, and
during Sunday he was in very buoyant spirits. In the
course of the evening, however. sv, be wu walking across
the yard of his residence, he fell down and expired without
a word. An inquest was held on his remains, and it was
proved that be died of dined' of the heart.

Lazarus, at one time a noted English pugilist.
