the master's assistant, and when they bad stood off
nearly 150 yards from the vessel, her destruction ap-
pears to have commenced in real earnest. On the
sinking of the last portion of the hull, several of the
survivors were floating on pieces of drift-wood, while
others still clung with desperate tenacity to the rig.
ging of the mainmast, still happily not submerged.
While some of the former were carried by the swell
to the shore of Africa at Puint Danger, the latter
were ultimately rescued in the afternoon following by
the arrival of a schooner called the Lioness. Out of 638
souls on board the Birkenhead when she struck,
only 184 were saved—including, it is grateful to
bear in remembrance, every one of the 56 women and
children—leaving 454 unfortunate men who thus
became victims of an untimely destruction. Captain
SALMOND, after behaving with admirable gallantry
throughout the disaster, seems to have been struck
on the head by something washed: off the poop, atl
the very moment when he was seen swimming from
the wreck shorewards. Various others, who were
endeavouring, in a similar manner, to reach Point
Danger, appear to have been devoured or mangled
by sharks lurking in those dangerous seas, to pick.off
the shipwrecked seamen and soldiers.
If we have the consolation of knowing that the
men involved in this calamity displayed, under
these circumstances of horror, a very noble and
very affecting gallantry—we have still left
unhappily, two incidents demanding our most
serious reprehension. According to the evidence of
Captain WRIGHT, of the 91st Regiment, the boat,
which was carried away by the assistant-surgeon, in
his solicitude to save his own life, would, if brought
back to the scene of the disaster, after landing
that gentleman, have been able to preserve those
who were subsequently lost by becoming entangled
in the seaweed, or snapped up by the sharks when
floating off with the driftwood. The other incident
comes nearer home than the coast of Africa—having
to do, moreover, not with an assistant-surgeon, at
Point Danger, but with the Port Admiral at Ply-
mouth—our recent acquaintance, Sir JoHN OM-
MANNEY. Instead of at once apprizing the Board of
Admiralty of what bad occurred, Sir JOHN OM-
MAISNEY coolly allows the intelligence of the loss
of the Birkenhead to reach the authorities
in Westminster—through the newspapers ! Even
when (on learning through the journals of the day
what had transpired respecting the Birkenhead) the
First Lord of the Admiralty transmitted inquiries
by electric telegraph to the Port-Admiral
down at Devonport, Sir JoHN OMMANNEY HMS
still display his public spirit, his professional energy,
and his official promptitude, by preserving. a dogged
silence—so that, last evening in the Iloure of Peers,
on the question put .by Lord Mosereauer,
as to the fate of her MAJESTY'S steamer
Birkenhead, no information could be obtained
from his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND.
Really the indolence of this flag officer has past the
limits of further endurance. The culpability of his
conduct in reference to the Amazon has now been en-
hanced and completed by his conduct in reference
to the unfortunate Birkenhead. Can it be possible,
-we ask now with additional seriousness, can it be
possible that Sir JOHN OMMANNEY can remain much
longer the Port-Admiral of Plymouth ?

"Don't trouble yourself too much with the polling,
but mind the outwork, for its there tha tenants will
shine." Such were the instructions of an Irish
landlord of the olden time to his representative, when
dismissing him in charge of a body of free and inde-
pendent electors to the county town. In those days,
"when GEORGE the THIRD was king," no sharply-
contested election was decided without many
physical encounters. The bludgeon men constituted
an important element in the support which every
candidate should secure. Briberynnd corruption were
prevalent in every district. The agents on either side
openly competed for votes ; they bid freely against
each other, while the coy elector listened to the in-
creasing offers until his cupidity was gratified.
There was, of course, an honourable (!!!) under-
standing that there should be no complaints on either
side. Both played the game without disguise or
concealment, and the longest puree had a very decided
advantage.
But the open bribery was even less objectionable
than ',„the rioting and intimidetion. The landlords
supporting the respective candidates brought down
their dependents, who sometimes took possession of
the town, and admitted none to the hustings
save those whose opinions accorded with their
own. All was rioting and drunkenness, and elec-
tions might have been characterised as occasions when,
to use the words of a distinguished author, " beating
was cheap, and intoxicating drinks plenty."
We bad hoped, however, that the Reform Bill had
materially changed this state of affairs. We were
unfortunately but too well aware that an organized
system of corruption existed in many boroughs, but
it:was carried on quietly through the Mr. EDWARDSES
of the locality, and every effort was made to keep it
"strictly private," and to prevent the opposite party
from obtaining proofs that might be rendered
available in any petition to the House. Intimida-
tion, too, existed, but it was moral rather than phy-
sical. It was the significant hint of landlord to
tenant, of customer to tradesman, or of employer to
labourer ; but those who had the hardihood to brave
these threats were permitted to proceed to the
hustings and to record their votes without any actual
obstruction. They might tremble at the but too
probable consequences, but they could bestow their
suffrages as they thought proper.
The recent contest for the Monmouth boroughs,
however, shows that there is a tendency to go back
to the practices of "the good old times" above re-
forred to, and that tumults and riots will again
prevail, and mobs of armed ruffians constitute
a necessary description of support at every
election. It will be recollected that the question was
between a Protectionist and a Free-trader, the former
a gentleman of considerable local influence, giving
employment to several thousands in the mining dis-
tricts, the latter a gentleman of high and unimpeach-
able character,

usual custom the prices declined as the day advanced.
Those who held over in anticipation of en-
hanced prices were deeply and bitterly disappointed.
When it was found that the Reds would make no
convulsive efforts to retrieve their position there was
a decided fall in quotations. As early as 1 o'clock,
P.m., 100 voters tendered " their most sweet voices,"
at the easy rate of one sovereign each. At half-past
2, four conscientious gentlemen offered themselves
for the trifling price of half-a-sovereign, or half-a-
crown each, which being rejected, was as a final
effort reduced to the ridiculously small sum of
3d. per head. This being rejected, it is
more than probable that they swelled the Protec-
tionist majority, or abstained from voting in disgust.
It would establish a dangerous precedent if they
voted for nothing. We have not exaggerated the
circumstances of this extraordinary contest. Owing
to the approaching dissolution, there is no possibility
of a Parliamentary inquiry into the case during the
present session. Mr. LINDSAY, however, declares
himself ready to establish every one of these allega-
tions, as will appear by the following extract from
his letter :

" I am prepared to prove, by abundance of the most
convincing evidence, that these miners, in the service of
my opponent and his supporters, were brought to town
with his knowledge and at his expense ; that a whole
street of voters, who had promised in favour of the Red,
most mysteriously voted for the Blue; that electors who
had resolved not to vote for the Blue under 201. each
did vote for them ; that 100 votes were offered to me at

11. per head ; that about half-past two o'clock four
voters offered themselves at 2s. 6d. each ; that ten
votere, who had demanded 101. each, were kept at the
head-quarters of the Conservatives till it was found they
were not wanted, and tLen let free, too late to vote with
the Liberals; that people in the service of the Blues were
intimidated ; that others were packed in houses all
night and sent in a state of beastly intoxication to the
poll ; and that very many peaceable Reformers feared,
to leave their homes. All these are facts beyond dis-
pute, with many others which I shall be prepared to
prove at the proper time."

But this is not all. A county magistrate, nephew
to the Protectionist candidate, is charged with having
brought down by special train from 500 to 700
miners from his works, armed with sticks,
bludgeons, and life-preservers. These persons
insulted and assaulted the peaceable Liberals as
they were coming to the poll. Many were
seriously injured, and still more were deterred from
appearing, being afraid or unwilling to subject them-
selves to such brutal outrages. The townspeople
were, however, determined to resist such atrocious
proceedings, and a pitched battle took place,
in which the intruders were driven from the
town. Mr. LINDSAY gives a graphic description
of the scene. He says—" Windows were smashed,
houses gutted, carriages overturned, Reds trampled on
by Blues, and Blues in their turn trampled on by
Reds ; noses "were bleeding, eyes blackened, heads
cut, and limbs and ribs broken. Barrels of
beer were rolled into the houses of the
Blues, and Red and Blue vagabonds were
rolling and fighting over them. Yells of
BAILEY for ever! ' and LINDSAY for ever ! ' rent the
air, leading to the most desperate fights." The police,
who behaved exceedingly well, had several hundreds
in custody at the same time. _ _

Let those who have hitherto opposed " the ballot,"
the only means by which such infamous pro-
ceedinga can be checked, consider the above state-
ments, and say whether these are the English cus-
toms which they are desirous of perpetuating, or whe-
ther it is more fitting that each man should exercise
his franchise freed from such degrading and demoral-
ising influences, that a check (even if it be
no more) should be given to the purchasing of
votes, and that intimidation, whether moral or
physical, of the landlords or of bludgeoners, should be
completely abolished. The llon. Member for Bristol
will gather many powerful arguments from the re-
cent contest for the Monmouth boroughs.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The ltioniteur publishes several decrees—one pre-
scribes the mode in which inferior magistrates and
other judicial functionaries are to take the oath of al-
legiance to the PRESIDINT of the Republic; another
directs that the political convicts sent to Africa are
to be formed into detachments of 500 men each, and
submitted to the usual discipline, and a third nomi-
nates the lieutenants and sub-lieutenants of the Na-
tional Guard of Paris.

The Assemblie Nationale repeats its clear, calm con-
viction that the Empire is at hand. Tha words, so
remarkable and significant, addressed by Louis NA-
POLEON to the magistracy on Sunday evening have
confirmed this journal in its impression. Com-
menting upon the language of the PRINCE PEEK..
DENT, it observes :

" It was no longer:universal suffrage, as applied since
1848. The President goes back to 1804 to prove a le-
gitimacy which invests him with the right of reigning
over France. It is no longer the elected of the 10th
December, 1848, of the 20th December, 1851—it is the
legitimate successor of Napoleon, coming to the throne
by right of birth. The President had never at any time
before spoken with such freedom his monarchical ideas
and principles, and his language will, we doubt not, pro-
duce a profound sensation in France and in Europe.
The doctrine of Imperial legitimacy had never been be-
fore proclaimed in so expressive and solemn a manner."
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN continues his remon-
strances on the folly and danger of restoring the Em-
pire, in the fourth of a spirited series of papers which
ho is publishing in the Presse, under the title of
" Let us Preserve the Republic." A restoration of
the Empire in name would, recording to M. DE Gl*
EARDIN, bring back France to the 19th June, 1815.
An Imperial France could not, he thinks, rest disin-
herited of the conquests made by NAPOLEON on Bel-
gium;Rbenish Prussia, Switzerland, Savoy, Italy, and
• Holland. Absolute power would, therefore, find
itself in the dilemma of a foreign war, with liberty
raising its head at home, and not to be constrained,
between the republic that would raise its bead, and
the monarchy that would lift its arm. There would
be panic at the Bourse and confusion to public credit,
with suspension of labour and stoppage of public
works. There would be, he adds, with singular
boldness, attempts on the life of the EMPEROR ; and
if an ALIBAUD could not be found in the ranks of the
Republican party, a MERINO would be found amongst
the Royalists.

A decree appears ordering all minor functionaries
down to bailiffs, to take the oath of fidelity to the
PRINCE PRESIDENT.
Another decree orders the political prisoners trans-
ported to Algeria to be settled in batches of 500 men
each ; the PRESIDENT will order dispensation of the
penitentiary regime in favour of those who show good
conduct.

In the conversation the GRAND DUKE is said to
have expressed himself very frankly on the state of
France. A Frenchman happened to observe, that
the next thing expected to be done by Louis NAro -
LEON was the establishment of the Empire. The
GRAND DUKE expressed his disbelief, adding, that he
believed the PRESIDENT to be a man of too much sense
to take any step that would indispose foreign Powers
against him.

of Lieutenant Field-Marshal in the Imperial army,
and served with distinction under Marshal RADETZKY
in Italy, and had filled the diplomatic posts of Austrian
Minister at Turin and at Naples, which latter appoint-
ment he still held on the outbreak of the revolution in
March, 1848. After the fall of Prince METTERNICH,
the increasing preparations for civil war in Hun-
gary ; the new schemes for the re-organization of the
Germanic body imperilling the union of Austria with
Germany; the deplorable condition of the finances of
the empire; and the inadequate organization
.of the
army to its multifarious dutiet rendered the post of
Prime Minister most arduous when Prince
SCHWARZENBERG accepted it. His subsequent un-
compromising and stern career; the foul execution of
LOUIS BATHYANI; the suppression of the Hungarian
insurrection through Russia ; and his
development
of diplomatic influence and military strength, over-
turning the projects of
...Tussle and terminating the
war iu Holstein, and finally establishing the concord

par f wizards. It will
be seen at once that we mean Professor
Jacobs, who unites in his own person the characters
of a modern magician, a ventriloquist, an expounder
of experimental philosophy, a comedian, and an im.,
provisatore, and nightly entertains a full
house with
his own individual exertions in. these several depart-
conjurer,ments of dramatic reresentation. His powers as a
to use the old-fashioned. term, are as won-
derful as they are mysterious ; and although his stage
paraphernalia are not of that gorgeous and
extrava-
gent description which some of his contemporaries
display, his tricks are perhaps far more remarkable
for their finish and. completeness.. The first part of
his entertainment is de
.voted to this she
of modern
devilrie, and certainly if. we wanted au illustration of
the perfection to which this art can be brought, we should
unhesitatingly point to Professor Jacobs. The second
and concluding part of the entertainment,
which in-
troduces the skill of the ven. triloquist and the impro-
visatore, is equally attractive, and
during Passion
Week we could suggest no better mode of spending
an evening than paying a visit to the New Strand
Theatre.

The intelligence from Mexico is of a far more satis-
factory nature, both politically and financially, than for
some time past; the total failure of Carajaval, and his
subsequent seizure by the American authorities, toge-
ther with the assurance of the American Government,
that if necessary they would send their own troops into
Mexico to put down any marauding attempts of their
citizens who, from sympathy or any other cause might
unite with any revolutionary party in Mexico, is a sig-
nificant fact of the good intentions of the United States
Government towards Mexico.
As regards the finances of Mexico, the Mexican Go-
vernment having officially informed that of the United
States that they had plac ed 2,500,000 dolls., and a fur-
ther sum of 280,000 dolls, of the last instalments of the
indemnity money, at the disposal of the English bond-
holders, the United States Government have intimated
to Messrs. Baring that they are willing to accept the
