of it he asked them whether they had swallowed it, to which
they answered. " Yes." Shortly afterwards he was taken ill,

also been ill, but are now out of danger. The man, who

On Wednesday, about 100 men, women, and chil-

New Walk ; and after one of the party had addressed them,

ing placard :—" Unemployed artisans in distress. We require
the bread of industry. Awaken, philanthropy I and sympathise
with the distressed ! Peace and good order." They then
marched through the streets singing, and at night divided the
proceeds, which, we believe, were pretty considerable. On
Thursday they again assembled, and perambulated the town.

Starch of an inferior quality is used in the manu-
facture of hard confectionery, such as lczenges, sugar-plums,
and similar articles. Those which are sold about the streets
(says a writer in the Magazine of Popular Science.) and
made " for the use of schools," arc generally composed of tl:e
offal of starch works, mixed with plaster of Paris, pipe-clay,
or chalk, and as little sugar as is able to give them a palate-
able sweetness ; but what is worse is, that they are often co-
loured with red lead, verdigris, g.amboge, and other mineral
poisons. A species of refined liquorice, manufactured for the
same market, is a compoud of Spanish juice, lamp-black, and
starch.

On Saturday an inquest wav held at the Three
Kings public-house, Clerkenwelb close, on the body of Eliza-
beth Mundy. The unfortunate deceased was between 15 and
16 years of age, of a very lively disposition, and remarkably
well-looking, and her dreadful fate lots excited in the neigh-
bourhood much interest and affliction. She bad, it appeared,
for some time lived in the family of Mr. Jcfferies, in St.
John's lane, whose house she suddenly quitted or, the night of
the 12th inst., and she was not seen again by any one to whom
she was known until Wednesday morning last, at six o'clock,
when her lifeless body was found floating in the New River,
opposite Sadler's Wells theatre, by policeman 200 C. It was
ascertained that about three months ago she formed an inti-
macy with a man, and, under a promise of marriage, she
yielded to his base entreaties, and became pregnant. He
afterwards sli;2,hted her ; and it is supposed that she; fearing
her disgrace would throw her an outcast upon the world, de-
termined upon self-destruction, and, according to the opinion
of Mr. Shipman, surgeon, of St. John's-street, she put that
awful threat into execution on the night she deserted her
home, her remains being much decomposed. The worthy
Coroner having commented severely upon the conduct of the
rookie's vagabond who had brought the poor girl to destruction,
the Jury returned a verdict of " Found Drowned."

N. B. The Tories received an Express from their " Carl-
ton Club" friends this morning, giving the result of the
Church-rate question, viz., five in favour of Ministers; this,
they thought, would turn the tide in their favour, so they
issued large placards, intimating the " defeat of the Ministry,"
but our constituency have, as they ever had, the most decided
coefidence in Melbourne and his colleagues, and they voted
accordingly.

The vsh.ole town is in the very extaey of delight at the pre•
et,t moment; hands are playing, and crowds huzzaing " Den•

Is it not somewhat surprising that the majority is exactly

DUBLIN-SATURDAY.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

" Quos omnes, eadem cupere, eadem odsse, eadem metuere in
unuut coegit ; sed hwc inter bonds amicitia, inter malos Alai()
est."—SALT.n ST.

The intelligence of the division in the House of Commons
on Tuesday night has caused a ferMent amongst the politicians
of this city, likely to become epidemic throughout the coun-
try. That party which is bound together, by a desire of place,
or the exclusive enjoyment of every public situation connected
with the patronage of Church and State—by a hatred of the
great body of the people, and an apprehension of the conse-
quences of sharing with them the privileges of the British
Constitution—that party, in fact, the members of which have
been so long united by a similarity of anti national interests,
into what is most appropriately denominated " the faction"_._
are almost frantic with joy on account of the small majority
which Ministers have on the Church-rate question. They
imagine that the present Government is beginning to totter,
and that the halcyon days of Orange ascendancy are about to
be restored; and in the plenitude of their extacy they scarcely
refrain from offering insult to the liberal portion of the com-
munity. The tone, manner, and method of their rejoicing
arc hardly compatible with the preservation of the peace. A
gentleman has assured me that the noise and cachinnation of a
soi disant group of Conservatives, and their looks and ges-
tures, while congratulating each other in his presence and
hearing on the news, had almost provoked him to demand if
they meant anything personal! It is, however, but a foretaste
of what we might expect here in the improbable event of
another Haddington •Vice. Government. If such a calamity
should ever again fall upon this unfortunate country it must
be productive of the most serious consequences. The inso-
lence of these fellows, who are now exasperated by a tempo-
rary privation of monopoly, would become intolerable; while,
on the other hand, the spirit of independence generated of
late amongst the Catholics and Liberal Protestants would
render them violently impatient of that hauteur and ascen-
dancy to which they had been so long subjected. In the pre-
rent of society in Ireland a Tory Government is im-
practicable, and any attempt at its formation would be pro-
ductive of mischief. Whatever may be the feelings of the
people of England as to the present Ministry, and their mea-
sures respecting that portion of the empire, there is but one
sentiment in 'lreland ; and that is, that the peace of this coun-
try can only be preserved by the immediate adoption of mea-
sures of Reform and improvement, fully as extensive and libe-
ral,as those contemplated by the present Cabinet. We have
now, what we never had before—experience of the blessings
of equal and impartial justice ; and wily not, without a
struggle, surrender the right established and progress made
towards the final attainment of so much happiness. We che,
nisi), therefore, a well-founded confidence that Government
will not be unmindful of the duty they owe to eight millions
of his Majesty's subjects ; and that, however embarrassed they
may be, by the strength of their opponents in frustrating their
legislation for England, they will not forget that they owe
their existence to the acknowledged incapacity of the best
Tory Cabinet that could be constructed to manage the affairs
of the United Kingdom, and that they were called to office by
the King, and the universal voice of the nation, including that
of Sir Robert Peel, in order to carry into effect a principle
essential to the welfare of Ireland. Englishmen and Scotch-
men gill recollect that public opinion remains unchanged as
to that principle, and that they are bound by every tie of gra-
titude and good policy to aid us in carrying it into operation.
They may rest assured that Irishmen will assist themselves in
this respect, and that they are preparing to assert their rights
with a spirit becoming that of the age in which we live, and
of the position into which Earl Mulgrave's administration has
elevated us. I learn from different leaders of the Liberal
party, that they are only waiting for the result of the Glasgow
election, and the next manifesto of Ministers as to the course
they will pursue, before they adopt proceedings of an ener-
getic and decisive nature. It is the more necessary to state
thus much, while there are some rumoura here of the possibi-
lity of a Coalition Ministry ; aed while the general impres-
sion is, that no Government that will not carry forward Lord
Melbourne's policy towards Ireland, as comprehensively at
least as it has been announced, can give satisfaction or be per-
manent. Indeed the practicability of any coalition is doubted;
and the better opinion seems to be, that the time is approach-
ing when the welfare of the State may impose upon his Ma-
jesty the necessity of exerting his prerogative, in order to give
the present Cabinet a preponderating influence in the Legisla-
ture. This seems, as far ;is I can collect public opinion, to be
one of the objects contemplated by the next demonstration on
the part of Ireland. Things cannot continue as they arc ;
Reform must retrograde, or public business be suspended, to
gratify the ambition or the prejudices of its enemies. We
cannot be persuaded that a Reforming King will not rather
advance than retreat, particularly when the former step is in
accordance with the wishes of the majority of his people.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--A new grand opera,
the music by Balfe, was produced on Saturday night ; the
name is Catherine Grey. As far as Mr. Balfe is concerned,
this is a most creditable performance. The opera is con-
structed altogether on the foreign principle, the whole of the
dialogue being in recitative. An attempt of this kind, as it
was in defiance of English prejudices, is extremely hardy,
and hence the decided success of Mr. Balfe is the more
honourable. The overture is too long and rather too noisy,
but it is at the same time characteristic and effective. A duet
by the Queen and Hertford, an air by Catherine, a duet by
Catherine and Lord Grey (Seguin), the finale in the first act,
and an air by Hertford in the second are very beautiful, but
there is not a piece throughout which does not rise far above
common place. The performers exerted themselves to the
utmost. '1 he piece, on account of the music, was emineutly
successful. As far as concerns the author's part of the
work, we must say that we have seldom witnessed a more in-
different piece.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.-We do not allude to a de-
parture from common courtesy which we saw here last Sa-
turday, so much in order to censure the offending party as
for the purpose of preventing a recurrence of conduct which
cannot be considered either very proper, or exceedingly polite.
Nur do we now urge as matter of complaint that the rude
refusal to attempt even to find us a place in any part of the
house virtually amounts to the rescinding of our order ; but
to be told with a gruff growl by a theatrical Cerberus that
the press could not expect accommodation either in the pit,
boxes, or elsewhere, did we own a little surprise us. Our
experience at other theatres had certa;nly trot prepared us
for this strange brusquirie, and we could not repress a smile
at the extravagance and ignorance of that gratuitous assump-
tion, which other persons, perhaps, ,vith less good-nature,
might have treated as exceeding rudeness and very vulgar
impertinence.

Mr. Moselleles intends to perform at his concert on
Tuesday morning, several of his characteristic studies on the
piano-forte, as well as his MS. concerto pr.thetique ; and,
after playing the " Cat's Fugue" on the harpsichord, he will
extemporize on the piano.forte, the themes to be furnished by
the company. The admirers of Sebastian Bach will have a
great treat in hearing a triple concerto of his composition per-
formed on three of Erard's grand piano-fort;ia by Thalbcrg,
Benedict, and Moscheles. Madame Crisi and Devrient will
sing, for the first time in public, the celebrated duetto from
Anna Bolena, " Sul suo cape ;" Grisi and Lablache will also
sing the comic duetto, " Ah, guardat'e."
On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, a young
man, about twenty years of' age, named William Redrupt, who
has been employed for some time past as a porter at the office
of the True Sun newspaper, met his death under the following
circumstances :—He had been residing during the last week
with a young man named John Mansfield, and another man, in
the cellar or kitchen of the house N.Q. Dorrington-street,
Brooke's-mark-et, Holborn, and on Saturday night they pro-
vided some heel: steaks for supper, during the cooking of which
an altercation took place between Redrupt and Mansfield, re-
specting the sum of eighteenponee due from the former to
the latter, in tha amuse of which Redrupt, being much ex-
cited, struck Mausfidd a violent blow on the face, ITT:, which
Mansfield instantly seized a knife which r, ,t lying o; the table,

GLASGOW ELECTION.

(Abridged from the Scots Times of Saturday.)

The nomination of Candidates for the representation o
the City took place on Thursday, at twelve o'clock, in iron
of the Court-House, in presence of an assembly of from
20,000 to 3 ',OOO people, all of whom seeme I to take an in-
tense interest in the proceed ngs. The tu•o Candidates
mounted the hustings, accompanied by their respective
Committees, a few minutes past twelve. Mr. Monteith was
received with general groaning and hooting, and cries of
" Off, off," and " Down with Monteith ;" but Mr. Den-
nistoua's reception was the most cn.husiastic we have evt r
seen.

Sheriff ALISON read the writ, the acts against bribery
and corruption, &c. and called upon any gentleman to pro-
pose a Candidate. ,
Mr. CHARLES STlttettinz of Gargunnock, then proposed
Mr. Monteith'as a fit and proper penson to represent the
City in Parliament.
Mr. SAMUEL HUNTER simply seconded the motion.
Mr. ALEX. GRAHAM, in proposing Mr. John Dennis-
toun as a fit member to represent them in Parliament, con-
ceived it was unnecessary, as it would be irrelevant, to en-
large upon his personal qualifications, as a gentleman of
independent fortune, and as an eminent merchant and
manufacturer, peculiarly fit to watch over the interests of
ti.i; great community. He was not educated among-the
c'oistered towers of Oxford—that notorious hot-bed of in-
tolerance and aristocratic pride"—but within the halls of
your own, and , his native University. Society in this
country is agitated by two parties—the one urging forward
the improvement of our institutions to an advance com-
mensurate with the expanded intelligence and condition of
the people—the other pertinaciously opposing such advance,
and clinging to existing defects and abuses. The watchwords
of the first party are retrenchment and economy ; while the
other, when in power, loaded their country with eight
hundred millions of debt, expended in wars against
liberty. The one party possesses the sympathies and
prayers of free men, and free nations all over the world,
while the others have always linked themselves, and would
link themselves still, with the despots of foreign countries,
.whose warmest wishes they have, and who would if they
dured join in a crusade against British freedom. The one
party wrung from the . other the Emancipation of Ca-
tholic Ireland—the one party wrung from the other
the new Magna Charta of the Reform Bill—the
great measure of - Burgh Reform—the abolition of
the East India Company's Monopoly and the abolition
of Slavery. The one party still opposes the zea-
lous attempts of the other to establish the only system of
popular education of which the people themselves can,
consistently with their religious scruples, accept—oppose
their endeavours to reform the Law and the Church ; but,
above all, the one party are not oppposcd by the other in
their attempts to do justice to Ireland, in their endeavours
to confer upon her the same municipal constitutions which
have been conferred upon England and Scotland, to effect
a more equal distribution of the revenues of her Protestant
Church, and to apply
,the surplus of these revenues to
the education of the people.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.)
He needed not to tell them that the one of these parties
which has already effected so much good to their country,
and still meditate so much more, are the Reformers in and
out of Parliament ; but it is as the Representative of this
party alone that Mr. Dennistoun claimed their support in
the present contest. The eyes of the Government and of
the whole kingdom are now directed with intense anxiety
to this great city, as about to afford a test of the strength or
decay of the Reform cause. Glasgow will be the scene of
a great contest, by which her Reform electors will either
add another to their former victories, or cover themselVes
with disgrace.
Mr. FLEMING:::-I have much pleasure in seconding the
nomination of Mr. Dennistoun as a fit and proper person
to represent the Reform interests of this great city in Par-
liament.—(Cheers.) Mr. Dennistoun is of the true breed.
There has been much artifice employed lately by our oppo-
nents, in mixing up religion with politics, with the view of
influencing votes ; but this you must all admit, that much
remains to reform both in Church and State ; and while
that is the case, who should we trust to represent us in the
legislation of the country, but one we know to be a tho-
rough Reformer ?
Mr. MONTEITH was received with almost universal
groaning and hooting, accompanied by some cheering from
his own friends. Proud I am of all I have seen and
heard since I arrived in Glasgow. Never had candidate
so many thanks to pay—to pay alike to friend and foe—
all has been candid, manly, and courteous. Glasgow seems
to have felt it had a character to maintain, and the tone of
the contest is truly a noble example to every burgh—every
great city of the empire.—( Hear, hear.) Let me depre-
cate, with all the fervour of which I mu capable, the vile,
the false, the absurd report which was intended to hurt
the reputation of my worthy opponent, my friend, Mr. Den-
nistoun. Who does not know that I, of course, have suf-
fered more than he by such statements?—though that I or
my Committee knew aught of it, I distinctly deny, and
the newspaper, just arrived from Liverpool, bears me out.
Mr. Dennistoun need not have denied it—as I have not
cared to deny similar follies ventured against me—l have
suffered by the indiscretion of some partisan more than he.
So be it ever—ever may such weapons recoil against the
side which ventures to wield them.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
Well, Gentlemen, it has been said that this is a contest of
principle. Yes, so it is, and therefore we shall win. This
is, I think, a far more important election than that of
Westminster, for how many grounds of personal favour had
Sir Francis Burdett ? Such claims were nearly irresistible,
and none such have either lor Mr. Dennistoun. All Bri-
tain looks to this first fair stand-up 'fight within a great ma-
nufacturing city.; and the sight we shall present will, I
know, gladden all honest eyes. But let us to the point,
the grand point of all—the main point on which I stand,
and on which we shall make such a demonstration to-mor-
row. This tower of strength is the Church. On another
point let there be no mistake. lam against an extension
of the suffrage. I look on it as a peculiar wisdom in any
Constitution, as it is a piece of common sense in everything
else, never to have a more elaborate and extensive machi-
nery to obtain your object, than is absolutely necessary.
Mr. M. then retired, followed by the same noisy demon-
stration of opposition with which he had been assailed
throughout his address.
Mr. DENNISTOUN then stood forward to address the
meeting, and was received with the most enthusiastic
shouts, which continued, accompanied by waving of hats
and handkerchiefs, for several minutes. The enthusiasm
of the vast assembly seemed, indeed, to know no bounds.
On the applause subsiding, hgsaid—Gentlemen, I believe,
in the whole annals of electioneering welfare, the schemes
to which some of my opponents have had recourse, are
altogether unparalleled—reports of the grossest and most
unheard-of description, whose foulness are only equalled
by their supreme absurdity, have been industKiously circu-
lated against me ; and, to crown all, it has actually been
publishd to the world that I have been guilty of burning
the Holy Bible ! Now, Sir, I solemnly declare, in the pre-
sence of God and man, that of any such foul deed these
hands arc clean ; and I will never rest satisfied till I have
brought to light and exposed the slandvver to the execra-
tioa of all good men.—(Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, it is
needless for ant; to give any lengthened detail of my politi-
cal sentiments, known as they must now be to all of you.
I will advocate as speedy a return as possible to the old
constitutional law of Triennial Parlianients.—(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, the Reform Bill was a great boon to the,
country ; but I, nevertheless, consider that it is capablo
of many improvements. I will therefore do all in my power
to simplify the machinery of that Act, and, above all, to
effect the repeal of the rate-paying and other clauses which
clog so heavily the working- of the Act, and also limit eon-
sidmbly the franchise. But, Gentlemen, there thing
above one thin
above all others that I will never cease to advocate, as eab-
solutely necessary for the protection of the honest voter in
the exercise of his rights as an elector-1 mean the Vote
by Ballot.—(lmmense eltecrit'es ) I deem it a cruel mockery
to put power irsta the hands of people which they are only
allowed to exercise at the sacrifice either of their conscience
OP their interest. Gentlemen, I clearly see the necessity of
a better underetanditig existing between the two Houses of
Parliament, and will, therefore, advocate the adoption of
such a measure as will bring them more into harmony with
each other. This is a question, however, that must be • ap-
proached with much caution. Groat prudence, and wisdom,
mad foresight must be brought to boar upon it, before any de-
cided resolution can be Wien as to the best mode of reforming
the House of Peers but if any reform should be proposed
that I conceive will be beneficial to the interests of the
country, I will most assuredly give it my suppo. t.--(Great
cheering.) Gentlemen, lam opposed to every description
of monopoly, but chiefly, and in the first place, to the odious
monopoly on bread—a monopoly which 1 consider the most
untenable and the most unjust that Statesman ever set his
face against, My Hon. Opponent has favoured us with a
very long and very learned essay; hut it appears to nie to
be vox ct preterea nihi/—sound and fury, signifying nothing.
He tells us diet lto was a strenuous advocate for the Re-
form Bill, I doubt him not ; but so was Stanley; and so
was Graham, and where are they now ? Why humble
followers of the great air Robert. He tells 3fou that Le is
ready to repeavo and every abuse. Well, I will put him to
t! teat. Will Mr. Monteith say that ha is prepared to
to do justice to Ireland ?--e;;,11 give to tbe Irish the same
municipal right!, VA% have already been given to Eteglosi
and Segtltind
IT7; Mom:rill—The Ministers' Rill fa not the same :
