Yesterday a Common flail was held for the purpose of electing
a fit and ',oilier person to serve the office tif Bridge Master, in the
roan of .11r. tiallabin, deceased. The attendance of the Livery
was mere numerous than on any former oteasitin since the Omura!
Election. At one o'clock the Lonl flavor, areompaniud by Sir
11'etee Laurie, 31r. Whittaker (the t•herifo, mut the Officers of the
Corporation, unto, instate to the hustings.
The hoop 31asroit stated the purpose for which he had con.
veiled the Hall. His Lordship theta, with several Aldermen, retired,
mid left the Livery to their election.
3lr. FAVEI.I. 'aid, the office to which they hail now to appoint
one nr their own Body, did not require a grew deal of labour, and
they had been accustomed to give it to some hi Idly respectable et.
tient, whose ineritoolionis life, Mumma in tont*. tttt me, and toe:essi.
ties, etc Ind him to their notice. Ile Mil nu plane than Ins
dory when he recommended 31e llainwordi as a lit person to re-
ceiv rat their hands the office of Bridge 31aster. Ile had been un.
fortunate in lousiness, it was tote, but his character was itreproach.
able ; he had a large family dependent on the exertions of his friends
that day. His father was a respectable miolesomin, shoo founded
the will-known Mot of Lee, Wilson, and of the Old Jewry
the lint gentleman in which firm had served his fellow-Chinni with
honour as an Alderman, until his years moil infirmities obliged
him to give up the gown. As bas last act in public life,
he was now present, to give his testimony to the worth of 31r.
llailowortii.

I.ke, whn is a particularly venerable gentleman, then
stepped forward and seconded the minion. /lc stated, that he had
bum acquainted with Mr. lisinworth since his infancy. and had
ever known I • to be distinguisit,tl for Ins Integrity. lie loegao
business with a good fortune, of which he was deprived by thisfur-
turn:l in trade.

Mr. Tit omits Modal: said, Chet theclaiiiis of 31r. I i:loma, the
candidate ilium he hail to propose. would, lie trusted, he eonsi_
tiered as superior to those of either of the others, respectable as they
doubtless were. Mr. liiiman hail been amongst them lot twenty
years as o I.iveryio sae; he had been Master of the Found:vs Com-
pany, of which there was not one man who had scan his conduct
that would not now come thrward in his 'turnout. Ile had he.n
eminent in trade, but by the re-action which took place in 1111.1 he
lost u large Itirtune, and hi" family were ruined for ever. Ile had a
large family Ifs wife and six children, who had liven driven from a
station of rink stud opulence to one of extreme neees.ity. line of
Isis sons was nut only a cripple in body, but imbecile In nand.
The Livery were always zealous to succour Ouse ot their brethren
who were respectable in misfortune. They would therefixeCilUO"o
3lr. Gilman, as an honourable eitiren, who had fallen lay a vicissi-
tude to which the most opulent were liable, and which no fore-
sight could avert. They would prevent his days. which opened in
splendor, being closed on himself and children iu destitution and
misery. (Lund applause).
Mr. Deputy I'e 1.1.1:N seconded the motinn.
Some other gentlemen afterwards severally proposed Mr. Sparks
Moline*, Mr. 11. binder, Mr. T. lisle, dlr. L. sage, tied Mr.
Stephen Adams, as candilates.
The sheriffs were about to take the show of hands In behalf of
these several candidates, when Mr. Hurt presented himself in front
of the hustings. lint appearanee was the signal fur a dreadful up.
roar, and cries of—" 111 i, Al you bare no right to interfere in the
election." Ile wax asked by :in Peter Laurie for what purpose he
els:n.4 to address the Livery? Hunt replied, that be intended to
address them upon the subject which they were then considering--
the election 01 Itridgentasitr. Sir Peter Laurie said, that it 31r.
I luta confined Manx& so that subject, he certainly had a right to
speak. .Ir. Hunt pledged himself to wufiuc his remarks to that
question.
Mr. Sheriff' M. II IT TAO( F. it then calls! for silence, and having
obtained it, he innunied the Livery of the pledge which Mr. Hunt
had made, and begged thou to give blur a patient hearing as long
MI he adhered to it.

Mr. II t, NT warlabout to speak, when--
Mr. Savant:, the Common Councilman, exclaimed," Tern him
off—he has no right to speak—his time is gone by !"
111 r. 11 eicr—Ft Itizetts ! This little genii:man says I
have no right tat speak—the Sheriffs it 1 have: wlActi shall we
attend tu, the Shs.ill's or the little gentleman ? (Loud lau;.,.bier.)
Mr. Hunt then proceeded, and asked what those alto hissed him
were afraid ot, that they shrived themselves at. sensitive when he
mode his appearance ? Before they proceeded to the election, they
!insult! investigate into the nature and duties of the 011;m of which
they were about to dispose, in order that they nigh: judge of the
fitness of the l'andiditto„ until if possible come to an unanimous
;me. It Will the dilly Of the litidgeniaster to receive and keep an
account of the income from the Bridge !louse estates, aid pay theta
over into the hands of the Chamberlain. lo fart he was the re-
presentative of the Livery, whose duty was to manage "heir"
estates, to receive " their' income, and pay it over into the hands
of •• their" servant, the Chamberlain. It was clear that the pro.
laity was theirs, and yet on a former occasion, when he moved
to have their accounts ',limed, there wire prude' who hail the
cHiontery us say that the Livery had no snooty whatever at their
dispusaL ((fear, hear.) Ile contended that no money could
be justly or even legally applied frutu those estates without the
sanction of the Livery. (Applause.) !le hoped that the Midge-
master whom they should appoint would Ina hesitate to divulge to
them the state of their property and let then* know how their ac-
counts stood. fie was told that the duties were so easy as to
r.nder the place almse a sinecure, and that it ought to b.:, givento
honourable citizens who had fallen into unavoidable anistiatunev.
Ile rejoiced that there were such places to give to such candidates.
(" Now, Iltint," cried one in the Ilan, " Why don't you talk
about your ltla, king " You might satiric," replied the Orator
tat adthessing the !1011, "'s'hat I had tied that man to I/Uff Illy

again, when the prisoner struck the deceased with a 'tide,
on the side of the head, from which blow he died in the

manslaughter was brought by the Jury against the pri-
mmer. Shortly after he left this country ; but on his re-
cent re turn he voluntarily surrendered I • •If up to be
tried at the present Sessions. The evidence on the part of

The following, account of a method of preserving the
air of apartments comparatively pure, and at the same
time of dispersing a pleasant fragrance through them, is
taken from the Chemist. By means of a wire fixed to
one side, or at the back part of the lamp, according to its
nature, and bent at right angles, so as to be a few inches
tOJOIT the top of the flame, a piece of sponge is to be sus-
pended. This is to be soaked in a mixture of best vinegar
and water, and squeezed nearly dry before it is hung up.
By this means the vinegar is constantly dispersed through
the apartment, and gives a very fragrant smell. It would
probably be very useful in manufactories and close work-
shops, and is of course as easily applicable to gas as other
lights. It costs very little, for the same piece of sponge
will serve a whole winter. It must be occasionally re-
immersod in the water and vinegar, and then will be found
to give out a great quantity of soot, which otherwise fouls
the air of the apartments.
Tuesday morning, about one o'cloek, a tragical occur-
reace took place in Eltlin-street. As a baker of the name
of Peter Campbell was returning home with his wife, a
young man of the name of Aitken rudely accosted the latter,
seed addressed some opprobrious language to Campbell
himself. A scuffle ensued, when Aitken reeeived two dan-
gerous wounds with a knife, one about the ear and the
other in the side. Aidsen's life is considered in imminent
danger, end l'ampbell has been taken into custody.—Cale-
&lsaias lirr..ro y.
An inquest was held on the tAlt inst. at I leworth, on the
-body of Matthew Hepplewhite, who had been, the day
before, fermi hanging upon a tree in the plantations of
Usworth. He had cut his arm across in two different
places, but had not cut the artery ; and the branch of the
tree he had hanged himself upon was so low, that lie had
to hold up its legs to elect his purpose. Verdict —Lunacy.

DONCASTER ILI C!.'S.

A pretty correct estimate of the extraordinary sport to
take place :his week, may be collected from the following
brief sketch of the difrerent stakes. Indeed, this year's
races, whether considered with reference to the number or
amount of the stakes, and matches, the horses entered for
them, or the unprecedented fluctuations in the betting,
may he fairly considered as taking a very prominent, if
not the leading station, in the annals of racing.
