, KIDDERMINSTER ELECTION.
This election is fixed for Tuesday next, and Mr.
Lowe is to be opposed to Mr. Boycott, solicitor 4f the
town, and a gentleman of seine local interest. Mr. Lowe,
in his address just issued to the electors, writes a 3 fol-
loWs : •
'" The real question which must be decided in thii elec-
tion is whether yon are disposed to give your supOrt to
a vigorous war, carried on until we can obtain an ho-
• nonrable and a lasting peace ; or whether you will sup-
port some faltering and half-hearted compromise, which
may, indeed, relieve us from the immediate pressere of
the war, but at the cost of our honour and our security,
and with the prospect of another contest, more arduous
to carry on, and more difficult to terminate. The Go-
vernment of Lord Palmerston is dissatisfied with the
latter of these views ; so, I believe, are the great majo-
rity of the nation. I owe it to your kindness tb me,
when I was yet a stranger to you, that I have been- able
to give my humble support to those principles in Parlia-
ment, -and I trust to owe to your approval the Lenour
of hereafter supporting them."
Mr. BOYCOTT, in his address, writes :—" With rei4pect
to the war in which England is now engaged, I shall,
if elected, deem it my duty to impress on her Majdsty's
Ministers the necessity of adopting a more vigorous and
energetic course than heretofore, as the best means of
obtaining an honourable and a lasting peace."
The publicansand beer-house keepers of Kidderminster,
a consideraole body, oppose the re-election of Mr. Lowe,
on account of his conduct with regard to the Beers Bill,
and public meetings of the electors have been held, at
which both candidates appeared in person and addressed
hem.

Mr. BoTeorr, in his speech, said that, if elected, he
should do all he could to obtain a cheap loaf for the
working man. He was not for the ballot, but would
reduce the franchise to 51., and would vote for the.abo-
lition of church rates.
Mr. LOWE spoke at some lenc,,th on the subject of the
war- lie said the question at issue in this election was
--had the Government the confidence of the electors of
Kidderminster, or was there any other Government that
could be foUnd that would be more deserving ? He went
on to show that Russia bad designs of universal dominion,
and would obtain it if England and France did not stop
Muscovite aggression. Unless the power of Russia were
reduced, the rest of Europe would never be safe. He
likened the Ministry which was in existence when the
war commenced to a crowd passing through a city, which
lost a portion of its number at every street corner—every
stage of the negotiations had detached one or more from
the Government—some had gone off upon one point and
some upon another. A. great many members of the
Government had been lost ; but he believed it now con-
tained none but those who were determined to carry on
the war with vigour and perseverance. Until Russia
was reduced to such a state that she could not domineer
over the rest of the world, the war must be carried on.
Mr. Boycott, it is understood, goes to the poll.

HERTFORD

The Hon. \V. Cowper, whose return to Parliament is
not likely to be opposed, has issued au address to the
electors of Hertford, in which he says :
" The magnitudeof the expeditions which England has
beeniebliged -to undertake for the purpose of restraining
the aggressive designs of Russia against the freedom and
civilisation of Europe, and the distance from the sources
of supply at which our army has to operate, threw upon
the military departments a burden which at first they
were unable to sustain ; but new departments have now
been organised and old ones remodelled, and the army is
fully supplied with everything needful, and is preserved
from many of the hardships the enemy has still to endure.
" I shall be happy to give in person any explanations
of my political views that may be desired ; but I believe
that at the present moment you are less inclined to enter
into' those general topics than to demonstrate to the as-
. "on at large the desire to give such support and encou-
ratql?ient to the Government of Lord Palmerston as may
enable
him to give full effect to his declared resolution
(4‘ prosecuting the war with the utmost vigour and
energy,lthe surest way of attaining an honourable
and aliting peace
Mr. Jasper.G. n
Gripper, the mayor, has fixed to-morrow
(Tuesday) for the annatien.

By the Bench—l did not direct any person to give
Mrs. Wooler medicines.
Mr. Marshall cross examined the witness—The letter
produced is in my brother George's handwriting. I
frequently had letters from Mr. Wooler previous to my
coming down, pressing me toscome some days before I
did. The other letter produced I wrote—l have no
doubt in answer to one from the prisoner. In answer to
several questions, whether she got a letter yesterday, in
her own handwriting, which was found amongst her
brother's papers on Friday, witness said she had a very
bad memory. I lived with my brother George in London;
I cannot recollect when. I think it is two years gone last
Christmas,-perhaps three ; I am not certain. I saw my
deceased sister and Mr. Wooler in London together seve-
ral times since I went there; I saw them at my aunt's.
At that time they were very affectionate towards each
other ; I neversaw anything to the contrary. Inever saw
any want of kindness between them. They were the same
as when first married, and conducted themselves most
kindly towards each other. From the time I first knew of
their marriage to the present I should say most decidedly
that has continued. Mr.Wooler wrote frequently for me
to come down, saying she was ill, and then he wrote to
press me. It might be a fortnight before I came down.
Those letters were shown to my brother George, and he
replied to them sometimes. I enclosed the letter put in, in
one from George himself. The letter produced is in my
brother George's handwriting.
Mr. Davison objected that Mrs. Wooler's brothers
should write letters, and they should appear on the de-
positions on a charge of murder.
Mr. Marshall answered that the question had been
put by the prosecution as to the brothers not getting
letters, and this answer was to that, and not to allow a
false impression to be made on the public.
Mr. Davison—Mr. Marshall has got the gentlemen in
London or elsewhere who wrote those letters, and pro-
poses to produce their writing to make out a piece of ,
evidence. Mr. Marshall has alluded to matters going
forth to the public, and it would, be hoped, go as the
prosecution had put it, that Mr. Wooler, knowing that
his wife had died from arsenic, and that a post mortern,
examination would take place, wrote to a brother in Lon-
don who was not likely to come down, and did not write
to the brother who was in the county, at Gateshead. (A
burst of applause followed this from the body of the
court, but the bench immediately checked it.)
Mr.' Marshall continued the cross-examination—l
cannot say on what terms Mr. Wooler and Mr. Breck-
nell, of Gateshead, were on. Mr. Joseph Wooler was
much delighted on my arrival. He expressed much
anxiety respecting his wife. I was continually in Mrs.
Wooler's room, but she would not allow me to stay at
nigh'. Ido not recollect the doctors being sent for on
the morning of my sister's death. I was sent for to
go to my 'sister that morning, as she was much
worse. I heard my sister, shortly before death, say,
"Dear Joseph," "My dear Joseph," referring to the
prisoner.

-By the Bench—l never knew any quarrels between
them during their married life.

Mr. Bouverie, addr#B6i, g his
late constituents, refers
to the proposal to obtainain peace by yielding to the enemy's
demand, and adds, Another way is by perseverance in
a vigorous prosccution of the war, by a determination to
spare.no effort and sacrifice to reduce the pretensions
and to baffle

win thoie

Cross-exa:Minati n continued—l cannot say when I
first became aware that my sister was said to have died
from arsenic. I think it was after she died. I cannot
say whether I heard anything before she died. Mr.
Woofer was always very anxious to ascertain who had
poisoned Mrs. Woofer. He did not send for the pollee.
The servant was not examined till the inquest. Ido not
recollect Mr. Woofer saying anything about having the
house searched. Ido not know, that Mr. Woofer had
the house searched. Mr. Mewburn gave me the key of
the storeroom after the inquest. Ido not think I ever
was iu the store-room before that. So far as I know
there was no search made. I did not see the bottles
found in Ann Taylor's 13(*..

Miss Elizabeth Lanchester said—l live at Haughton,
where I keep a school. I have known Mr. and Mrs.
Wooler for about seven years, and have been pretty in-
timate with them. About four weeks before she died I
went to Burdon, to Mr. Wooler's. I continued to see
her from time to time every day to the day of her death.
I was there after she died. I first became aware, on
hearing the certificate read by Mr. Wooler, that Mrs.
Wooler had died from poison. Mr. Joseph Wooler did
not have the house searched. He did not send for the
police. Mr. Wooler went to Darlington, but there was
nothing done that I know of.
By Mr. Marshall—lt was after dinner when the certi-
ficate was read. Miss Brecknell, Ann Taylor, and my-
self were present. I asked where the doctor's bottles
were! The servant said some of the medicines were
Poured out for the doctors to take vomits home in the

One of the witnesses, Miss Brecknell, sister to the

Trafalgar, and of the Daphne in the operati•.ns in the
Ri• de la Plata and attack on Monte Video in 1806 arid
1807. When lieutenant of the Success, he commanded
her boats at the destruction of two vessels near Castig-
Ilene, in the face of a heavy fire of musketry, in 1810,
and in the same year assisted at the capture of a ship and
three boat, under the Castle of Tarracino. He served in
boat, at the (ahing of Ischia and Procida and destruction
of two gunboats, and at the capture of a French priva-
teer of 10 guns and 110 men, and a ship of 4 guns and
17 men. The gallant admiral was employed at the de-
fence of Cadiz in 1810 and 1811. For his eminent ser-
vices to the late Queen Donna Maria of Portugal, as the
commander of the Rirtuguese Naval Expedition, he was
loaded with honours, being crested Viscornte de. Piedade,
decorated with the Grand Cross of Bento d'Avis and a
Commander of the Tower and Sword, and also made a
Vice-Admiral in Portugal. The gallant admiral com-
manded her Majesty's ship Malabar, 72, in 1841. He
entered the navy at a very early age, and obtained his
commissions as follows :—Lieutenant, March 5, 1808 ;
Commander, Feb. 28, 1812 ; Captain, June 6, 1814 ;
and Rear-Admiral, May 9, 1849.
The following appointments were made on Saturday
last at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant Augustus G. D.
Huthwaite to the Alecto ; Lieut. F. George Suttie, to
the Simoom ; Mr. W. F. Johnston, mete, to the Ha-
vannah ; Mr. H. J. Marshall, mate, to the Alecto ; Mr.
H. Powys, mate, to the Alarm; Mr. T. B. Hollinwortb,
mate, to the Urgent ; Mr. J. Patton, mate, to the
Syren ; Mr. A. H. Fitzroy, mate, to the Sanspareil ;
Mr. Fred. Shead, second master, to the Bloodhound.
Colonel Crofton, Brigadier-Majcr Munday, Major
Bent, and Captain Colclough, with 300 men and 54
horses of the Turkish Contingent Corp left Woolwich
on Saturday, and proceeded to Greeuhithe to embark on
board the Adelaide for the Crimea.
Lieutenant-Colonel Feilden, of the 44th Regi-
ment, who, as Major Feilden, has won a place among
the heroes of the Crimea by his intrepidity on the 18th
of June, when he led the volunteer corps which took
and held the cemetery the whole day, returned on Satur-
day afternoon to his native village of Bebington, on the
Ceeshire side of the Mersey. For his gallantry on that
occasion be has already received a distinguished mark of
his Queen's approbation in having been gazetted lieute-
nant-colonel. The inhabitants of Bebington being de-
sirous to give expression to their feelings in finding him
once more among them, determined to receive him with
a public demonstration. The train which had conveyed
the gallant colonel from London arrived at Bebington
station about 7 o'clock, where it was met by a proces-
sion of the most prominent inhabitants, with bands of
music and banners. They conducted him, amid enthusi-
astic plaudits, to the private carriage of the Rev, R. M.
Feilden (the colonel's father), and rector of the parish,
the horses were unyoked, and 12 villagers having taken
their places, the vehicle was drawn to the rectory amid
the vehement cheering of the largest concourse of people
that had perhaps ever assembled in that place. On ar-
riving at the ball, Lieutenant• Colonel Fpilden still re-
maining in the carriage, was presented by the Rev. J.
Case with an appropriate address from the inhabitants
of Bebir gton. Lieutenant-Colonel Feilden responded in
a few brief remarks. He thanked the inhabitants heartily
for the unexpected but gratifying manner in which they
manifested their kindly feelings towards him, though ha
frankly confessed that be did not deem himself wor-
thy of so much dist,nction at their hands, having
merely, in conjunction with his fellow-soldiers, die-
charged his duty to his country. Lieutenant-Colonel
Feilden is not ab-;ent from active duty by his own free
will. In accordance with an army regulation, after his
brilliant conduct on the 18th, he was ordered on depot
duty at Malta, where he le`itained permission to visit his
family outs more before re-entering upon the more dan-
gerous responsibilities of his position. He has been 14
years in the army, although he is not yet more than 30
years of age.

USE OF THE DAGUERREOTYPE.—The 2d Lanarkshire
Regiment of Militia, stationed at Lanark, has lost a
considerable number of men from desertion—the majo-
rity of whom make their way to Glasgow, after they
have received part of their bounty and necessaries. The
commanding officer has hit upon a capital auxiliary to
identification. So soon as they are clothed the like-
nesses of the men are taken by daguerreotype, in groups
of half-a-dozen upon one plate • the picture is fidelity,
itself, and, as works of art, those we have seen are ex-
ceedingly creditable. When a man disappears from
Lanark, therefore, the plate upon which his physog is
imprinted is sent down to Glasgow, where, under the
charge of the superintendent of police, it is shown to the
constables and recruiting serjeaots for the regiment,
who, having the portrait in their remembrance, can look
after the man as if he had been an old acquaintance.—
Glasgow Herald.

Colonel'Dickson, of the Artillery, who was so bril-
liantly distinunished at Alma, at Inkerman, and through-
out the siege, but who had been suffering from severe
indisposition for some time before leaving the Crimea,
arrived at Waltham Abbey on Friday, and was con-
ducted in proces-ion from the station to the town. He
i 3 appointed superintendent of the powder mills. Colonel
Dickson had an interview with Lord Panmure and
several of the Ministers previously to leaving town.
General Gabriel Gordon, Colonel of the 91st Foot,
died at his re-adence near Manchester on Tuesday. He
was 92 years of age, and bad been more than 74 years
in the service, his tirst commission in which bears date'
6th of January, 1781. His services consisted of the
capture of Martinique and Guadaloupe, for which he
received the gold medal and one clasp. There are
now six general officers dead, in succession to whom
two promotions will be mad, to the list of genera]
officers, in accordance with the new warrant. They
are Lord Raglan, Lord Carysfort, General Gordon, and
Major-Generals Cornwall, Sir John Campbell, and Est-
court. There are also the colonelcies of two regiments
at Lord Hardinge's disposal, the Blues and the 91st, ono
of which it is probable will be given to Lieutenant-Gene-
ral the lion. C. Gore, a Waterloo officer, and lately in
command of the troops in Canada.

NOVEL DEBIG.N IN NAVAL ARCIIITE,C-

TITRE.

The difficulties which have occurred in the prosecution
of the present war from the deep draught of our line-of-
battle ships may, perhaps, secure attention to the follow-
ing design for a great raft, propelled by an immense
steara power, which has occupied the thoughts of its
projector, Mr. Daft, a civil engineer, for a period of 13
years. As will be gathered from the details, he con-
templates a complete revolution in the existing system
of naval architecture. To many the scheme may appear
utterly wild and impracticable, but some may, neverthe-
' less, trace in it materials for useful reflection. It is pro-
posed that the raft should be composed of 300 pontoon-
shaped iron boats, nearly all 100 feet long by 10 feet
wide and 7 deep, having semicircular bottoms and sides,
and flanged on the edges or gunwales. With 15 of there
placed longitudinally the length of the raft would be
1,500 feet, and 20 in breadth, with 5 feet spans between
each would give a width of 300 feet. Thus the deck
area would be little short of 10 acres. The pontoon
boats it is proposed to brace together by diagonal tie
bars, while the deck would be formed of timber 6 inches
thick, firmly belted to the flanges, and having hatchways
into each of the boats, which would thus furnish the ac-
commodation and stowage required for passengers and
goods. Bulwarks are contemplated, 12 feet 6 inches
high, and consisting of hollow iron stanchions, 33 feet 4
inches apart from each other, with iron compartments
between, made to open from the top on centres. The
whole mass would thus be braced together as if it were
one huge solid substance 1,500 feet long, 300 feet wide,
and 20 feet thick. It is proposed by the bold projector
of this new leviathan to propel her by 22 steam-engines
of at least 200-horse power each. 11 on each side of the
raft, with paddles and screws affixed alternately. Into
the arrangements for mooring, for saloon space, coin•
mauder's quarters, an observatory, &e., it is not neces-
sary to enter, but the calculation is that the raft will
carry a freight of 20,000 tons, though perfectly safe and
steady without, obtaining a speed of 15 knots an hour,
draw only 3 feet 6 inches of water, and give a setrface
sufficient to act as a floating breakwater in the roughest
sea. The projector contends that it will be impossible
to founder such a structure ; that in case of running
ashore the boats grounded can readily be drawn off
by the power of the engines ; and that the principle
of the design involving the repetition of so many
given parts, as in the architecture of the Crystal
Palace, these can be let out to different eontractors,
and the whole get tegather with the greatest rapidity and
ease.

NAPOLEON I.—COPY, VERBATIM, OP A LETTER RE-
SPECTING THE GREAT EMPEROR NAPOLEON.—The body
of the late Napoleon Bonaparte, in fall dress, was de-
posited in a tin coffin, which was lined with white silk
and cotton. His cocked hat was laid across his thighs,
and on the left breast of his coat was a gold star and
cross, and several other medals of the same metal ; seve-
ral pieces of coin of various sizes and different values
Tore a'so put into the coffin. A silver plate, knife, fork,
and spoon, and a silver service cup were also deposited
in the coffin. - Previously to placing the body of the
general la the coffin, the tin lid of the coffin was lined
with white silk--tuffed with cotton ; it-was- put in its
place, and I soldered it on the coffin, enclosing the late
General Napoleon Bonaparte and all the above-men-
tioned articles. This tin coffin with its contents was
then enclosed in a mahogany coffin, and they were en-
. closed in a lead coffin, and all were afterwards enclosed
coininanother mahogany coffin, which made in all four
