themselves to the utmost, they were urotble to get the

A medical gentleman was promptly in attendance, and
did every thing that humanity or surgical skill could
devise but the unfortunate Creature lingered only a

fewe minutes before lathe melancholy event happened,
the deceased had a very narrow escape, for the spirit
boiled over in an adjoining room, and she thinking 0113

fzertunately the fire proved more disastrous in the last

THE MISIIsTRY.—It is Sitbted that serious (iioen-
ions have already arisen within the Tory camp. Seale of
its members have made frea-trade professions- others are
still protectionists; and the differences thus originating are
s id already to indicate the still more serious difficulties
Which the future can scarcely fail to aggravitte.—Daily News.
THE lit SF FEEttonHIRE ELF CTION RAOTA,--.A. special
meeting of magiArates was held at Ross; on Tuesday, to
investigate the caus-?.s of, and the circumstances attending,
the riots there on saturdav week, when the pull.books were
destroyed by a mob, a preliminary meeting having been
held on Friday. After the high shut a bad awed that he
appeared in his official capacity, to demand of the local ma-
tistrates that they would make a minute inquiry into the
origin of the late riots, by which one of the p .11-books had
been destroyed, the under-sheriff.read the declarations taken
en the day .of the declaration of the poll. From the declara-
tion of Richard Deakings Turner,. poll-clerk at booth No. 2,
appears that at two minutes to four the booth was attac
to
attacked.
viten the deputy-sheriff and the declarant endeavoured
escape, but two fellows with long staves like constables'
Raves, and having painted on the top the colours orange_
and green, followed the declarant; one of them caught hold
of the poll-bolt and register of voters' book, and endeavoured
to wrest the same from him, and said at the same time, All
We want is the book; we won't harm you it you give it
u." The deputy-sheriff then took the bd' oks of which,
torreyer, he was immediately deprved. The.declarations of
he checkclerk for Messrs. Booker,i King, and Hanbury, who
bad his checkbook wrested from him, of the slipclerk, and
messenger, went to show that the slipsheets received at the
committee-rooms of Messrs. Booker, King, and Hanbury,
'were correct transcripts of the poll-book. On the motion of
Mr. Vaughan, the court was ordered to be cleared; but it
Was understood that the chief business related to the claims
of persons whose property had . been damaged. A man
tamed Turner had been committed for trial on a charge of
fraudulently obtaining money and refreshment by means of
false orders purporting to be issued by the committee of
Messrs. Booker, King, and Hanbury.
