Mr. Kin,Lthe candidate, and Mr. Barrington, the Receiver
under the Court of Chancery, presentecrthemselves to the
Kingston tenantry in the booth where they are principally
polled, as if to overawe them ; but the Frieze Coats, with
perfect. nonchalance and good humour, polled away as if no
such personages were present, or in existence at all. Mr.
Barrington's conduct is much commented upon. He is not
land-agent to the Kingston estates ; but merely a receiver
of the rents by the appointment of the Court of Chancery,
and has no right, whatever, to interfere in. the way described
with the electors' franchise."
lu Sligo, on Monday, the numbers stood thus :—Cooper,
133 ; Jones, 119 ; Perceval, 116.
A Contemporary calculates that the Tory gains amount
to 4, whilst the actual and probable gains of the Reformers
are 15. Thus giving a difference of eleven in favour of
Reform. With respect to the totals, the same journal
adds—" There are already returned 66 Reformers and 29
Tories—giving credit to the latter for Sir Robert Ferguson,
of Derr: ; Sir Charles Coote, of Queen's ; Colonel Lucas,
of Monaghan ; and Mr. Blennerhassett, of Kerry. If we
take, as the event we are satisfied will prove that we should
he right in taking, these four gentlemen as friends to the
Queen':-: Government, our list would then show 70 Re-
formersand 25 Tories. But, for the present, we shall let
the figures stand.
" To the 66 we shall have to add in our next—two fur
Tipperary, two for Westmeath, two for Longford—mak-
ing 72, we might add, we think, two for Cork, and one for
Sligo—total 7.. Giving the Tories one in Sligo, the re-
sult stand thus—
Tories 80
• • • • •
Reformers . • .
More tban two-thirds of the representation of Ireland—
or, more arithmetically, five-sevenths of the whole, the
Tories being two-sevenths.

" But it is likely that the Tories of Newry,Portarlington,
Tralee certainly, will be rernovcd o❑ a petition. We enter
not, at present, however, into these contingencies. Yet we
are perfectly convinced that the Queen may command 80 of
the 103 Representatives we shall send into the House of
Commons."

The Pilot, in an article on the result of the contest, re-
fers to the assertion some time ago made by Mr. O'Connell,
namely, that the majority of the English nation were
either " hostile or indifferent to justice for Ireland'„ and
declares that " Events have justified the opinion Mr.
O'Connell entertained of England as a nation towards
I eland, although there were admitted to be most honour-
able exceptions." Our Contemporary, however, candidly
admits that " The resulkpf the elections in England arc
not solely attributable to this national indifference to, or
ignorance of, Ireland ;" and then states the disadvantages
with which the English have had to contend. The Pilot,
however, still insists that with all these disadvantageous
causes operating, England has not done what she ought ;
and it is clear that had the Tories got power at the time the
Court was with them. they would have had a preponderance
in Parliarnerd which would have involved a desperate and
protracted struggle to place the people in the position in-
tended by the Reform Bill." After censuring the imprac-
Livability of those persons who would not consent to
receive an instalment of justice, but insisted on having
nothing less than the whole, our Irish Contempo-
rary concludes his remarks in the following terms :
" Providentially we now see our danger without its being
overwhelming. The struggle has taken place when a Re-
form Ministry are in power—when the Court supports the
Ministry, and when, if true to ourselves, we may prevent
the recurrence of a danger we have barely escaped. Peel
said in a late speech—" Register, register, register," we say
agitate, that you may register. Had the cunning advice
of Peel been taken early for his party not to create alarm,
but work quietly at the registries, the Tories would be
in possession of the citadel of the Constitution now
—not to be dislodged but by a revolution. But, fortu-
nately, the pupils were not. as wily as the masters. The
Tories—the Irish section particularly—could not be con-
trolled—they made their struggles too soon and too feroci-
ously, and they alarmed the people just in time to work, and
barely to save the country. It is clear that if England
were left to herself, and had not the protection of Scot-
land and Ireland, she would be an enslaved nation.
Never was the pride of Englishmen so humiliated as
by their prostration at the last election. The character of
the nation for independence is gone.
" Ilow can you carry on the Government, say the Tories,
with only 35 majority t We answer how do you hope to
carry it on with a minority of 35 7 It would take an ad-
vance of 70 votes to place the Tories in :the position the
Reformers are now, and if this majority be called inade-
quate, it would, to make it efficient on their own showing,
require an advance of 100 Tory votes.
" The Government is admittedly weak in the Houre, and
the majority depends on the Irish Members. Ireland is
therefore again the arbiter of British Ministers. How will
this work ? Either the two parties will agree to put Ire-
land on a footing with England, which will break up our
combination, or else they must combine, in order to conti-
nue our degradation. Should the latter occur, our expe-
riment of justice is at an end. Again the battle-cry will he—
' Repeal the Union.'"
Mr. GUINNESS.—This gentleman has addressed a letter
to the Editor of the Pilot, who justly observes that " all
the moral influence the Tories exulted in from Mr. Guin-
ness's vote is destroyed by his letter, and delighted are we
at being instrumental, indirectly, to have elicited a letter
which strips the faction of the only sanction of character
they could appeal to." The following passage forms the
substance of the communication I intended to have
expressed my regret at perceiving certain symptoms of
party triumph which were manifested by some of the active
supporters of the candidates for whom I had voted, and to
tha.dsacvnleti dfyel
conceive,ared myself thatwi t
hi n
a givingpa rty that u
tvote a
that my
mh ayd
sole n o
motiveintention w
to
s
to register my dissent from a course of measures involving,
a tendency to endanger the safety of those
institutions whose abuses alone could justly be complained
of, and should form the object of genuine reform. I
would have declared myself unconnected with any political
society ; that I disapproved as much as ever of the Orange
system, recollecting the evils connected with it, and that my
sincere desire was to see honest men on both sides uniting
for the maintenance of the Constitution while promoting a
sound and wholesome reform of its remaining abuses—espe-
cially those connected with the Corporation system. I
think it now right to add that I took no part in the late
elections, save that of giving my vote, and that up to the
present
moment I have never in any way, pecuniary or
otherwise, interfered in the matter, nor do I mean so to do."
The phrases we have put in Italics seem to us very like
those recently used by Sir Francis Burdett, between whom
and Mr. G uinness, however, we are willing to believe there
is no political identity whatever.

The diamond is pure carbon, or Charcoal crystallised.
It is among the rarest of all known substances, and carbon
is among the most abundant. We can have a room full of
pure carbon for sixpence, hut a bit of pure crystallised car-
bon the size of half your thumb is worth many thousand
pounds. You drink diamonds when you drink soda water ;
but you drink them in the form of gas. Mr. Faraday has
succeeded by immense pressure in reducing carbon from the
gaseous to the liquid state ; but it must be kept in a glass
tube, hermetically sealed. The moment it comes in contact
with the atmosphere it again assumes the gaseous form.
Diamond requires great heat to burn it ; but when it does
burn, it consumes utterly. Its whole substance changes
into that kind of gas which is pumped into soda water, and
is produced naturally in champagne.
The practice of paving the centre of macadamised
roads is not found to answer, and that. part of the Great
Western Road between Knightsbridge and Kensington
which had been so' treated, is now about to be restored to

its all-alike state.
