(who made his appearance when the soldiers came)
to direct that the streets should be cleared, and the
dragoons were then moved round, and charged upon
the mob striking them with the flat of their swords.
Numbers rolled on the ground, old and young, and
were ridden over—many were severely hurt, and had to
be carried away. The scene was one of great confusion
during the two or three minutes it lasted. It was soon
apparent that the.nature of the streets would not permit
the cavalry to be efficient, and a company of the 4th
Regiment was sent for to Ashton, to take action within
the narrow passages, should they be required. There was
no regular hourly poll issued by either party, but the
supporters of Mr. Fox took the lead at first, and main-
tained it throughout. In fact, at one o'clock they were
as much as 280 ahead, though the Heald party continued
to creep up, and at last they made the majority much less
than it was at first. At a quarter to four o'clock 89{;
electors had polled for Fox, and 781 for Heald. The
number on the register is 1,890, so that Mr. Fox polled
nearly one-half the voters, and won by 115. A protest
was laid against the poll proceeding about three o'clock
by Mr. Heald's friends, on the ground that the presence
of the military in the town was detrimental to their in-
terests ; but the mayor, under the advice of the
town clerk, declined to listen to it, and it was
continued to the usual hour of closing. The protest may
give rise to a petition on the election, as, under 2d Wil-
liam IV., c. 45, a. 17, all votes taken after such protest
are understood to be void. Soon after the close of the
poll, Mr. Heald's committee announced the majority
against them to be 112. A company of infantry marched
into the town at twenty minutes past four, but there
seemed to be no disposition to repeat the disturbances of
the morning.

ABINGDON.
The poll opened at eight o'clock yesterday morning,
and from that time until, its close, great disorder and
rioting prevailed among the unruly mob which had as-
soluble& arouiA the polling-booth. Police-officers and
special constables'were on the spOrto protect the electors
proceeding to record th9ir votes ; but the force was
scarcely sufficient to render effectual aid about the
middle of the day, when a large mass had congregated
so close to the booth as to preclude any voter getting
near the poll-clerk, unless he was known to be a sup-
pprter of Lord Norreys, the popular candidate. The
collisions and affrays among the people were frequent
and severe ; and many a fellow was carried away
thoroughly exhausted with the drubbing he had received
from his antagonist. Precisely at four o'clock the poll
closed, and Lord Norreys' committee a few minutes
afterwards published the numbers as follow :—Lord
Norreys, 153 • Mr. Burr, 129—majority for Lord Nor-
reys, 24. The town was in a state of great excitement,
and the tradesmen in the streets contiguous to the
polling-booth closed their shops, the uproar and con-
fusion reaching a height never before known on such
occasions.

BURY ST. EDMUNDS ELECTION.
The nomination for candidates for the vacancy in this
borough, caused by the appointment of Mr. Stuart to a
vice-chancellorship, took place yesterday morning ; and
although on many former occasions complaints had been
made of the disorderly conduct of the people when called
upon to exercise the elective franchise, it was universally
admitted that yesterday's proceedings were the most
tumultuous and disorderly ever witnessed in the town.
The two candidates were Mr. H. P. Oakes (Conservative),
the son of a banker carrying on business in Bury, and
Mr. J. A. Hardcastle (Liberal), who represented Col-
chester in the last Parliament. The friends of both
candidates paraded the town from an early hour in the
morning, with banners of all sorts and sizes, the
designs on many of them being of a personal rather
than of a political character. This circumstance caused
much exasperation, and it not unfrequently happened
that the two parties came into collision while
pursuing the route marked out for them. But it was
not until the candidates made their appearance on the
hustings that the bitter feelings which had been engen-
dered broke out to any very serious extent. As soon as
it was known that the Mayor was on his way to the
hustings, a body of horsemen wearing Mr. Oakes' colours,
and consisting of country squires, magistrates, and gen-
tlemen farmers, rode into the vast mass of persons who
had congregated, and took up their position in the mid-
dle of the crowd. This circumstance called forth loud
rebukes from various quarters, and some of Mr. Hard-
castle's men endeavoured by means of their flags, which
were of enormous size, to drive back the intruders. This
was resisted ; the horsemen formed themselves into a
line, and at a given signal from one of the party, rapidly
advanced, and rode down flags, men, and everything that
came in their way. The police, assisted by a large num-
ber of special constables whom the mayor had judici-
ously sworn in, conveyed some of the ringleaders to the
lock-up, where they were confined during the remainder
of the day. This was not, however, sufficient to ensure
order, for during the whole of the subsequent proceed-
ings the disturbances continued.
Mr. Beaven proposed, and Dr. Drake seconded the
nomination of Mr. Oakes, while Mr. H. Le Grice pro-
posed, and Mr. Collins seconded the nomination of Mr.
Hardcastle, the show of hands was declared to be in
favour of Mr. Oakes, but a poll was demanded and fixed
for to-day,

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines writted at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial
over the remains of" Poor Hood."
Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Anneal," from the lips of all classes. For mans a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he
known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his
genius and the noble- purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be found wit .out the help of a grave-yard
servant, and ail who have laughed at his inimi.able wit, er sighed
over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare
what they can In aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in
the living and due to the dead.
At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented
to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary
Secretary.
Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwieke, at the
Whittington Club, Arundcl-street, strand ; at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street: by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins,
34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

INSTALLATION OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE
EARL OF EGLINTON.
GLASGOW, Nov. 30.
This afternoon his Excellency the Earl of Eglinton,
who was recently elected Lord Rector of the University,
was duly installed into office in the Common-hall of the
college. The building was crowded in every part, the
galleries being appropriated to ladies, among whom was
the Countess of Eglinton, who was received with several
rounds of the heartiest applause. His Excellency was
accompanied to the Common-hall by the Principal and
the Professors of the University, and by Sir Archibald
Alison (the late Lord Rector), Sir Michael Shaw
Stewart, and other distinguished persons.
After the formal proceedings had been disposed of,
His Excellency the LORD RECTOR rose, and was re-
ceived with the most enthusiastic applause. He said—
Very Rev. Principal, Professors, Students, and Gentle-
men,—There are occasions when it is no easy matter
to express the feelings with which we are animated,
and the present is one of those when it is most
peculiarly difficult for me adequately to express my
sense of the kindness which you have shown me. (Loud
cheers.) It is, indeed, most gratifying to me, or to
any man, to be singled out by any large body of my
fellow-countrymen as an object of esteem and approba-
tion ; but there is something which comes more especially
home to the heart, and which warms the feelings—to be
singled out and welcomed by the youth of one's country
—to be singled out by those whose happy countenances
and joyous looks bring one back to years long gone by,
and which also point to future energy and usefulness.
(Continued cheers.) It is, indeed, most gratifying to me
to be singled out by the members of this University, by
the educated youth of the west of Scotland, and by those
learned and pious men who direct their studies, to fill
a chair hallowed by the recollections of antiquity and
by the memories of those great men who have occupied
it—that wonderful list of men who have occupied this
chair, from the bold and patriotic Andrew Melville, of
the 16th2 century, to your own Sheriff Alison, of the
19th. (Loud cheers.) The mighty orator who has en-
chained millions by the intense power of his eloquence,
the statesman who has swayed the destinies of empires,
the poet who has enthralled the passions, the philo-
sopher who has roarrued bpauo Ut pohrbcci
out the hidden treasures of the earth—the skilful
lawyer, the eminent divine, the truthful historian,
have all filled this chair ; and each, in his turn,
has addressed the students in words of power, and
in the fulness of his intellect. (Renewed cheer-
ing.) I cannot claim to myself the eloquence oi
a Stanley or a Macaulay—(cheers)—the ripe states-
manship of a Peel or a Lansdowne, the varied genius
of Brougham, the brilliant acquirements of a Jeffrey or
a Cockburn, the learning of a Mure, or the pen of an
Alison ; but I will yield to none of my predecessors in
my appreciation of the kindness which has been shown
me in my earnest determination to uphold the sacred
cause of education, or in my desire to promote the in-
terests of those who have thus conferred on me the

Believe me, that honour, though unsolicited, has been
earnestly desired, and I have long looked to it as a
worthy, but perhaps unattainable, object of my ambi-
tion. I trust I have no more vanity than other men,
but if anything could at such a time be a drawback to
the gratification which I feel, it is that I should

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders
and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select
Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government
the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter
end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone
into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through
the House of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large
and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn,
upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded
with in the next Parliament.
The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer-
tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard
to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters oft is Under-
taking to frame their measures to meet all the reqairements of the
New Ace, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure
means of investment.
The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its
great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr.
Rostock, In their examination by the Government Commissioners on
Water supply.
Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge fur the present inferior and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much
lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy
alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when
the purity or the water is considered, and that the supply will be
constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
kit. ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by th s Com-
pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the
Surrey Dittrict, and the daily increase of buildings there, that the
present und'r:aking v. ill afford an immediate, sound, and steady
investment for capital, with every prospec that the maximum di-
vidend, w‘w al'owe.4 by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

OLDHAM.

The whole of yesterday the town was in a state of the
utmost excitement ; in the main streets the shops were
not opened, and most of those in the smaller streets were
also closed. The poll commenced at eight o'clock, and
after that hour, Oldham was literally living in the streets ;
all the places of business were closed, and the operatives
were perambulating the town in a state of the greatest
excitement, running to and fro, as news of any demon-
stration reached them. As early as half-past eight, at
the Lord-street booth, two voters lodged a complaint with
the deputy officer, and demanded a larger force, as they
had been well thrashed in going to the poll. A few ad-
ditional specials, out of a force of 600 which had been
sworn in, were sent out, and additional arrangements
were made by which the peace was kept for some time,
only broken by a few blows struck at the polling booths,
and some interruption to voters. Botwoan oloven and
twelve o'clock, however, the turbulent spirit broke out
afresh. The cabs of Mr. Fox were not distinguished by
any colours or placards, and as they passed any of
Mr. Heald's party in strength, they were attacked,
thrown over, and the occupants beaten. The signal
for war was an umbrella turned upside down—for peace,
an umbrella with the point upward. The Commercial
Inn, in Royton-street, one of Mr. Fox's committee-
rooms, was attacked about half-past eleven, and the
front windows were broken, and the Fox men within
were beaten. A messenger bringing in the state of the
poll from Chadderton was attacked, knocked down, and
received a severe gash on the scalp. He mangedhi,
showre-
-
ever, to get to his committee-room, and deliver
turn. A piece of a flag-staff was thrown through Fox's
central committee-room window, and one of the clerks
narrowly escaped a very severe injury. The Working
Man's hall was attacked about the same time. It had
become obnoxious as the depot of the non-electors, and
between eleven and twelve it was attacked by a mob
armed with crowbars and sledge-hammers and pieces of
stone, which they used most effectually, and the occu-
pants had barely time to escape by the back before the
assailants entered. They broke all the windows and the
forms, and then left the place. Such riotous proceedings
naturally excited much alarm, and the more so as the
mayor had never been. seen, nor shown any sign of abi-
lity to take repressive measures. An information
was therefore lodged at the Town-hall by two of
Mr. Fox's committee, and four of the county ma-
gistrates, including the Rev. T. S. Mills, the chairmen
of the bench, proceeded to the Working-man's hall,
and there read the Riot Act, which had the effect of quieting
the mob. It was, however, clear that the special con-
stables who were perambulating the town in detach-
ments under the command of the various police-officers
were of no use h and a message was sent to
whatever ;
Lees, about a mile and a-half off, where a troop of the
Ist Dragoon Guards were stationed, having been re-
moved from Ashton for the purpose, under the com-
mand of Captain Mort. The military soon arrived,
amid the cheers of many and the hooting of others.
They were drawn up in line, and remained there f
for some
time, until they were led round the town by way o
showing that they were in the town. As they were re-
turning through ono of the streets to the Town-hall,
they were followed by a mob, hooting very much, and
when they came to the Town-hall and were drawn up
in line, cries of " Peterloo" were raised, some stones
were thrown, and the flanks of the horses were struck
with caps. This led to an application to the mayor

and to determine me to devote all the energies I possess
and every power of benefiting them which I have
to promote their welfare. (Loud cheers.) There is
no country in which education should not be a pri-
mary object ; but in the full carrying out of education
depend the whole hopes of Ireland's future prosperity.
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Feeling as Ido that such is
the case, I have made it one of my principal objects, since
I have been in that country, to examine the educational
establishments there, and from what I have seen of the
intellect, of the quick perception, of the powers of ap-
plication of the people, I will say confidently that my
kind Irish friends in this university are not behind their
telly-students in availing themselves of the advantages
offered to them. (Cheers.) Coming as Ido from that
country—where academical institutions on a national
scale, with the single exception of Trinity College,
Dublin, are in their infancy—to a land where they have
existed and flourished for the last 400 yearS, I see around
me the proofs of the carrying out of the social instruc-
tion of the people. What is in Scotland a matter of
realisation and history, is in Ireland a matter of hope
and futurity. The prosperity of Scotland is the best
augury for Ireland's future. (Cheers.) 300 years ego,
Scotland was more convulsed with civil and religious ai,i=
sensions than Ireland is at this day—(a voice, " True,")
but our monarchs gave us universities, our Parliaments
parochial schools, England gave us our Union, and we
see the gratifying proofs around us. I believe I may say
that one half of the population of this great city by birth or
by origin are Celtic; and the glorious results of the blending
the Celtic with the Anglo-Saxon blood form the best •
answer to that mischievous controversy which has lately
been got up as regards the respective merits of the:two
races. (A laugh and cheers.) I should little envy any •
man who could find himself suddenly and unexpectedly,
but intimately, connected with such a city as Glasgow,
and such an institution as her university—who could find
himself so connected—without feelings of the most lively
gratification. Glasgow—which is the emblem of Scottish
enterprise—the mother of Scottish commerce and trade
—she who has already taken the lead in every enterprise
of industry and commerce—has not neglected the charms
otliterature and, wonders of science. (Cheers.) She
boasts, has boasted, and can still continue to boast, of
her Finb,ys, Stirlings, Ewinmcampbells, and her Beira. eaesesee,;`
a a
(Cheers.) lam afraid almost lo go on with the list of
great names that rises to my recollection ; but she can
always point with pride to the works of a Hutcheson, a
Spottiswoode, a Reid, a Clelland, an Adam Smith, and
an Alison. (Loud cheers.) She can point to the ingenuity
and enterprise of her Watts and her Napiers ; but she
can also boast of the genius of a Jeffrey, a Thomas Camp-
bell, and a Lockhart. (Loud cheers.) She can boast, too,
of the piety and learning of a Melville, a Smeaton, a,
Chalmers, or a Macfarlane—(loud cheering)—and she
can also glory in the military renown of a Moore and a,
Munro. (Renewed cheers.) The comparison between the
state of the city at the date of the foundation of this univer-
sity and the present time was so well and so beautifully
drawn by Sir Archibald Alison in a speech which I had
the pleasure of hearing along with many of you now
present, that I cannot venture to dilate upon it, but I
will only call, in a few words, your attention to the state
of this city now with what it was then. Then there
were religious persecutions and civil wars—raids were
made on the city by the Highlanders, and extortions
were made by Cromwell—your river overflowed its
banks, famine and pestilence raged in the city. What
is it now ? There is peace and plenty : there is entire
religious freedom ; you have a harbour within the very
heart of the city ; a river bound up within safe boun-
daries ; and science to preserve the safety of its inha-
bitants. In those times ministers of religion were
obliged to wear coats of mail and carried " whangers"
—(a laugh) for the protection of their persons.
The Bibles were so scarce that they were chained
to the desk, and read to crowds of persons at the same
time. Now the ministerial brethren are secure and
respected ; the Bible is within the reach of the hum-
blest member of the community. (Cheers.) And
let me for a moment call your attention to the differ-
ence between the state of this city at this pre-
sent moment and the Glasgow of a much later period
than what I have alluded to—the Glasgow at the Union,
About that time the population did not exceed 14,000.,
and even in the middle of the century it did not amount
to 20,000, and depended on Port Glasgow for its har-
bour. There were scarcely any manufactures, there
were no tonnage dues levied till 1770, and these only
amounted to 1,0001. There were no banks—that is
to say, the Bank of Scotland, in the beginning of
the last century, could not employ a circulation of
30,000/., and it was not till the middle of the century
that any banks were established in this city. About
the same period it was that a caravan was set going
to ply twice a-week with Edinburgh, but the speculation
was too daring for the spirit of the age—(loud laughter) •
and it was shortly afterwards abandoned as utterly hope-
less ; and I believe men now living have been obliged to
sleep on the journey between this and Edinburgh. Now
let us look at the other side of the picture. The village
of the 15th and the small town of the 18th century have
swelled into the enormous proportions of some 370,000
inhabitants, and its harbour swarms with ships. The
revenue of the Clyde amounts to 75,0001. a-year. Your
customs' duties, which so late as 1812 did not exceed
3,0001., now amount to 650,0001. a-year. (Loud cheers.)
The circulation of the banks, I believe, may be calculated
at 3,500,0001., and the deposits are not less than
11,000,0001. It is not now that a caravan is plyiag
twice a-week with Edinburgh, but the city is surrounded
by a positive network of railways, three of which alone
conveyed along the rails last year, nearly 5,000,000
passengers. It is energy, combined with education, and
aided, too, by science, which has achieved these wonders,
and which is every day raising this great city, and dis-
playing the invincible industry and indomitable perseve-
rance of her inhabitants. (Cheers.) And now, gentlemen,
allow me to address a few words of advice and exhorta-
tion to you—(hear)—to you, my young friends, who
by your kindness have not only given me the right, but
have made it a duty, that I should speak to you with
some authority, and without reserve. The few years
which you spend in this place are the most important in
the whole history of your lives. The choice which you
make here will probably rule your future destiny ; on the
principles which you here imbibe will probably depend
your fate in eternity. There may be some individual ex-
ceptions, which prove the rule, but in the great majority
of cases the character of the after man springs from the
character of the youth ; his career in after life is fore-
shadowed by his career at school and college. (Cheers.)
Every one of you is as much engaged in the formation of
your character as the sculptor is with the shapeless clay ;
every one of you has an immortal soul committed to your
keeping. There is not one of you who cannot make far
himself respectability, at least, if not fame. It is for you
to decide whether you will be hereafter respected and
honoured, or whether you will be a pest to society and a.
burden to yourselves. I trust you will all accept the
first offer that is held out to you by the advantages you
now enjoy, and that few indeed will take the latter course.
There are, no doubt, some among you with better intel-
lects and keener perceptions than the rest, and every one
cannot hope to attain to excellence or to climb the high-
est pinnacle of human ambition ; but there is not one of
you who cannot, at least, attain to mediocrity, and if
you cannot gain the admiration, you will at least claim
the esteem, of your fellow-creatures. Never allow
yourself to despair of anything beyend your reach ;
never think that any branch of knowledge is beneath
you, for there is no intellect which cannot be sharpened,
there is no memory which cannot be improved, there
are no bad habits tt cannot be rectified in the plastic
sea ha T
Loud cheers.)

of you whom I am addressing who are not destined to
cross the threshold of that busy life on which you are
now standing, and to realise those expectations they and
their friends have formed of the youthful promise of

Creator in the days of your youth ;" and, if you do,
there is no happiness which any imagination can conjure
up, no brilliant destiny which talent and application
can give to you, or no honour which any earthly power
can bestow upon you which will equal those blessings
which this will bring to you. For some of you there i 5

To them I will say, seize upon advantage,vt

Bellini, was d

soprano voice, and her style, without reaching that e%-
trerne finish of execution which forms the pillars of
Hercules in musical art, is that of a well-taught school,
and her performance of Amina, which requires that rare
combination of the highest skill in vocalisation with deep
pathos and expression, was rendered in such a
manner as
