IRISH ItCPRERENT•TIVE PEERAGE.—The election for
a Representative Peer for Ireland, in the room of the late
Earl of Donoughroore, which has been so strongly con-
tested, terminated on Friday night, in the return of Lord
Farnham, by a majority of three, the numbers being, for
Lord Farnham 49, for Lord Mountcashel 46. The Dubbn
Correspondent says—" The contra reflects no small he-
nour upon the Administration. It is the first instance
since the Union of an election of the sort being left to
the pure and uninfluenced consideration of the Nubia
Electors. Government was supposed to be able almost to
appoint the successful candidate." Lo►d Cloncurry voted
on Friday for Lord Mountcashel, and Lord Gosford for
Lord Farnham.

HAYMARKET THEATEE.—An ehtire change in the -
terior of this convenient Theatre, it is said, is to take place

great improvement; the audience part is to form the sett-
nient of a circle. The last season, it stems, was uncos
monly productive.

The duel between Captain Smith and L. B. Thwaites,
Esq. of Chatham-creseent, Walwor:11, which wisprevot.t

mon, near Bromley. The parties are distantly relattki
and the meeting arose in a dispute at Drury-lane Theatre.
respecting alleged familiarity in work, spoken by Mr;
insulting to the fe.dings of Captain Smith's niece. li e
parties fire t t and in the second fire Mr. T. recerv‘d
a serious wo Ind in the shoulder, and our corn kruntleEt
,states that the lull had not beLli extracted on Saturday
night.

Mr. Maugham, in his excellent Treatise on Me Late of
.4 foroeys, Solicitors, ana Agents, has supplied a detidera-
tum to the profession which cannot fail to be well received.
It is singular that open nearly every branch of law with
which the profession is occupied the troyt complete instruc-
tion is furnished, while, as to the decisions and enaemests
which regard the profession itself, no collective infortna.to
was given until this Treatise aripc amt.
Letters from Lyons state that a dreadful inundation had
laid waste a great part of the country as far as Dijon.. A:
Braget the inhabitants were for two (ley' compelled to talc
refuge on the tops of their houses.
Hokum B ITl.—On IVeiluestlay morning a fel:
low was driving an ass cart on the banks of the Irwrli,
below the New Bailey in Salford. Tae animal, whetter
owing to the weight of the lord in the cart, or to the bad
condition of the road, stopped, and notwithstantliog the
severe blows of its master remaintA stationary. At kill!,
finding that heating would not answer his purpose the kl-
low went to a place in the neithhourhood, procured a
quantity of shavings,
and set fire to them under the
animal's belly. The poor creature writhed under the tor-
ture, but was still unable to prcceed ; when the wretch
who owned if, assisted on this occasion by another bar-
barian, actually procured a second supply of shavings!to
t
again set tire to them as before. At length the ass, star
lated by the pain it was enduring, got the cart into inouoi
and was driven away. Our informant saw the transamo
from the opposite side of the river, and at too great a lii'
lance to admit of his either recortis;ag the fellon4

gaged in it, or interfering to stop their cruelty ; otherwise
we should not have had the mortification of concluthag
account of conduct of this sort by the statement of iht:.
hoving escaped unpunished.—Maschester Osa.-than.
