FATAL ELECTION RIOTS.—On Wednesd:sy morn-
lug • man named Thomas Sewell, a native of Durham,
died in the Durham County Hospital, from injuries
ceirsd on the previous day in a riot that broke out
during the contest for the representation of North Dur-
ham. Between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon a party
of reds" mid a party of '• blues" met in the Market-place,
and open warfare was the immediate result, the missiles
tenanting of loose paving atones that were spread
about the market square. Sewell was not a partici-
later in the conflict, but. as he was crossing the street,
a mass ran up b. hind him and hit him on the back of the
head with a stone. The unfortunate man dropped Mlle-
leo. Hewes removed to the hospital, where he gradually
sank, and died at I o'clock on Wednesday morning. The
rioters have been remanded until Monde y. Mr. Charles
Adams, the Secretary of the Exeter Liberal Association, was
considered on Wednesday evening to be in a dying state,
and hie depositions were taken. . Adana was on Monday
—when the East Devon polling took plaos—the subject
of an atrocious assault. He was standing outside the
liberal committee-room, and as the conservative =Midges
were passing he was pitched upon by four of their fol-
lowers. They kicked him in the thigh umd elsewhere, and
he was rendered insensible. It is expected that a charge
of murderous assault will be brought against the assailants.
The same day there was the mart lawless Moienes at
Newton Abbot. A mob of 300 roughs, some of whom
were wend with sticks, paraded the streets, and several
clergymen on going to the booths to record their votes
were severely maltreated.
RIOTOCS PROCEEDINGS AT LEICESTEIL—After
Um declaration of the poll yesterday, Mr. Paget, the un-
successful liberal candidate, and has friends were loudly
cheered on leaving the hustings. He was shortly after-
wards followed by Lord Curzon and Mr. Pell, accom-
panied by a large number of their supporters. As they
emerged from the Castle yard, guarded by a posse of
police, they were followed by a large crowd of persons
hooting and groaning, which gradually increased in
numb. rs, as did also the violence of the expressions of
disapprolation. As the members pa-ered along Friar-
lane on their way to the its erubly-rooms, the
crowd made a rush at them, threatening them
with personal violence. The polic., however, chargoi
and successfully repelled them. Stream and brick-
bats ber an to fly in all directionis many of the
olire officers being struck by these missiles. In the
midst of this contusion lit. Pell made his escape, and
sought reties in the neighbourhood. Lord Curzon was
then with difficulty escorted by the police to the Assembly-
rooms, amidst a perfect shower of missile, of all kind..
On reaching 11. e Assembly-rooms another attempt we.
made by the mob ti• attack his lonlehip, but they. wore
again prevented by the police, who drove them in all
directions. ihe mob waited outside, but Lord Curzon, by
means of a :Until ruse, made his escape in a eab to the
railway station. Fearing a repetition of the disturbawsu
of Tuesday night, moat of the shopkeepers closed their
shops,

CIIROMOLITUOGRAFIIB AFTER HILDEBRANDT.-
The celebrated German painter Hildebrandt, to whose
remarkable genius and numerous works we have fre-
quently hail occasion ti refer, is b iit;:known in :this
Lountry by his greatest production, his "Jommey
round the World." Previous to Lis death arrange-
ments were made for the multipl:cation of a number
of his pictures liy chromolithography, and were so

advanced before that lamented event that he was able
to see his work reproduced. and to pas a judgment upon
the plates. The chromolithographs are published by R.
Wagner, of Berlin. and in this country by Goupil and Co.,
and the opinion of Hildebrandt of the measure of justice
which lad been done to his drawings may be seen from
the following extract of a letter written last February:—
" The six chromo-facsimiles of my water-colour paintings
from my 'Journey round the World,' are now lying before
me ; they are prepared with such marvellous fidelity, with
such peculiar reproduction of the technicalities, and with
such rare artistic harmony, that I willingly respond to
your desire of giving this testimonial.—(Signed) Prof swor
ED. HILDEZRANDT." More truthful copies of works of

art have never been produced. The lithographer, it ti
evident, is a man of artistic sensibility and great technical
skill. Hildebrandt himself declared of one of the copies,
that of a Street in Bombay, that at a short distance he
could not tell it from the original. The six plates already
published represent a "Covered Street at Cairo," " Mosque
at Cairo (evening effect)," "Benaree," "Street at
Bombay," " Sunset on the Chow-Thya River (Siam),"
and" The Harbour of Macao."
TIIE GAS QUESTION.—At the Court of Common
Council 3.esteri day, the Lord Mayor presidink Mr. Catty,
in the absence of the Town Clerk, read a leV.er from Yr.
T. H. Farrah, of the railway department of the Board of
Trade, stating that on forwarding a copy of a parliamen
tary notice relating to the supply of gas to the instrepolis,
be was directed by the board explain the eirenmetances
under which they had determined to issue it. By the act
of hut manioc, pawed after several years of agitation,
considerable alterations were made in the Metropolis Act
of 1860, more especially as respected the illuminating
power, price, end parity of the gas, but the act of lest
session applies to three only out of the thirteen companies
which sin ply the metropolis, so that whilst three companies
and the districts they supply are affected by the provi-
alone of the new act, the other ten companies and the district.
they supply remain subject to the act of 1860. It was not
to lc expected that this state of thing. could continuo,
and it was for the interests of all parties that a final and
complete arrangement should be made as soon as possible.
Such an arrangement would require legislation, and no
legislation could take place in the coming mission unless
the requisite parliamentary notices were given ; and under
these circumstances, it had been represented to the Board
of Trade that it was difficult for one of the parties inte-
rested to take the inibstive, and that unless the govern-
meet give the required notice no opportunity would be
uffolded for complete and satisfactory legislation. To
sent this, and to milder I, vitiation possible, the Boa d of
Trade bad issued a notice, which 1•118 so formed as to
met all the contingencies which they were able to fore-
see. bit, was their solo object as at present advised, and
v s regarded their future action they reserved to them-
/AI% en entire ducretion. At the same time, they would
lie glad on any occasion to forward by all the mean. in
their power and satisfactory arrangement which the
various parties interested ought be able to agree upon
or egged. The notice in question was of an applies-
ticn to parliament for a bill for the amendment and ex-
tender. of the provisions of the City of London Om Act
of 1818 to the whole of the metropolis. Upon the motion
of Br, ltontems, the communication was referred to
tlie special gas committee for consideration and report.
*Mr. Bosuns then presented a report from the special gas
crormittee, giving a lengthened statement of their pro-
-I‘,l dinitt., and of the several references in respeot to the
supply of gas to the City. The committee, in their Term",
enumerated at length the step which had been takes in
premoting the City of London flea Act el last session ;
end detailed the various provide= of the set. They
stated that as the act came Into opeestkon at once it
would be nets cry for the court to lealliwith determine
as to the appointment of a gas examiner or examiners.

The next act takes place in the garden in front of the
inn door, • very pretty some with a ma view and cliffs in
the background. Eighteen months have elapsed. The
landlord of the Angel bas married the designing house-
keeper, and gone headlong to ruin, while his attractive
barmaid, Lizzie, having made • lucky speculation
by betting on Blue Gown, has acquired capital enough
to purchase the business. Nor are these the only changes
which have taken place. Lucy, in whoee guilt no ono
believes, leads a miserable life of poverty in • mean lodg-
ing in the town ; and Charles Adolphus Phipps (Mr.
Danvers), a spendthrift young gentleman, who in the first
act divided his time between flirting with Lizzie and
paying for champagne and other luxuries for an idle
habitué of the inn, Jack Easy (Mr. F. Dewar), has become
reduced to accept the humble position of potboy and
waiter under the new management of the Angel. It is
here, after much subordinate detail', that the lovers are
once more united. Ned Thornton returns; his innocence,
as well as that of Lucy, is made clear; while the false-
hood and treachery of Mrs. Driver (now the wife of the
late landlord of the Angel) are exposed by that lady's
being detected in the act of taking the silver cup from
its hiding-place in the hollow tree.
Though only incidentally connected with the Mail
thread of interest In the piece, it is evident that it is the
character of Jack Easy, • philosopher," as he is de-
scribed, on which Mr. Halliday has bestowed most pains.
Ilia selfish philosophy, hie detestation of honest work, and
dextrous contrivances for living at other people's expense,
g:ve rue to numerous clever points and win many • roar;
but in rendering his selfishness base and od.ous the
author deprives him too completely of the sympathies of
the at dwnce. Miss M. Oliver was clever and amusing in
the part of the barmaid and landlady, and delivered •
most heroic speech on the occasion of her dart as land.
lady of the Angel—a sort of burlesque of those political
discourses of which we have lately had so much
experience—with a gravity which was fully ap-
preciated. Mr. Danvers put a great deal of
his peculiar dry humour into the part of Charles
Adolphus Phipps. The piece, indeed was well performed
throughout, from Mr. Kenward's John Hudson, the inn-
keel er, to Mira Clara Thompson's performance of Lucy,
II Lich is a part, we believe, of more serious interest than
she has hitherto sustained. The main defect ofd Lain .1
tarp is the weakness of the motive which brings about the
chief incident. The audience find it difficult to conceive
Lay's ready acceptance of the charge against her lover
which leads her to endeavour to shelter him by sacrificing
herself. The subordinate characters. too, are elabwated
in a way which, to some extent, overlays the course of
the story. But, all deductions made, it will not be easy
to find a wrio-comic drama in which the dialogue is mare
amusing or the general interest more legitimately sus-
tained.
