BUNGAY ST. MARY.

On Thursday last application was made to the Magistrates
at Petty Session, for summonses against some of the inha-
hitants, who have declined paying the last year's Church-rate.
The Churchwardens—the well-known Samuel Scott and
James Gower—deputed a man who is employed in collecting
the rates, to make the application—not from any compunction
at the unchristian character of such a proceeding, nor from
shame at the dirtiness of the work, as will appear in the sequel.
On referring to the statute under which the information is
laid, it was discovered that application to the Magistrates must
be made by the Churchwardens themselves, in person ; and
they have, consequently, been driven over to another week
before they can procure legal authority to sell their neighbours'
goods, for the purchase of their own sacramental elements,
and the washing of their singing boys' surplices.

LONGFORD COUNTY ELECTION
COMMITTEE-(THIS DAY.)

The Committee assembled to-day at eleven o'clock, and
having yesterday decreed that two votes struck off by a Com.
mittee of the House should not be admitted again on the Re-
gister, and having also heard Mr. THESSIGER against the
power of this Committee to re-open the Register, as settled
under the Irish Reform Act, Mr. WRANGHAM was this day
heard in answer at very considerable length.
In the course of the proceedings, the Noble Chairman (Lord
CLIVE) stated that the Committee must adjourn to-day at two
o'clock, as one of its Members, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, lud
to attend a Cabinet Council at that hour. In stating this to
the Learned Counsel, he did not mean to say that Counsel
would be stopped in his argument, or a witness under exami-
nation have that examination discontinued ; but that Counsel
should exercise a discretion upon the subject.
The argument of Mr. WRANGHAM lasted the whole of the
day, and the Committee adjourned to Monday next.

Of all the atrocious articles which, in the course
of our Newspaper life it has fallen to our lot to peruse, that
which appeared in the Times of yesterday, respecting the
Duchess of Kent, bears the palm. That lady's conduct, as a
wife, as a mother, as a protector, as guardian of her Royal
Daughter, has been beyond all praise. Why is the Duchess
of Kent the object of the base—the most unmanly vitupera-
tion of the Times? Has her demeanour been of such a cha-
racter as to justify this loyal print par excellence to make an
attack upon the mother of the Heiress Presumptive to the
Throne that would be considered indecent if aimed at a fe-
mile in the private ranks of society ? But it is fortunate for
the Duchess of Kent that the reputation of her goodness and
virtue has gone forth before her, and consequently neutralised
the vile attack of the Times. Her Royal Highness is now
acting in a way that must insure for herself and the Princess
Victoria the affection of every loyal subject. She esteems the
good opinion of the people, and leaves it to the Duke of Cum-
berland, once maligned, we should suppose, by this very Timts,
if he be now the upright and immaculate person which this
consistent journal now represents him. But we are wasting
space about, this waspish assault, conscious that the Duchess
of Kent and her daughter, revered by millions, not even ex
cepting Lyndhurst's "aliens," can defy the puny efforts of the
once mighty " thunderer."—Morning Advertiser.

We are happy to find that Lord IVlulgrave, with
his wonted generosity and love for literary as well. as other
merit, has appointed Mr. Anster, the accomplished scholar
and successful translator of Goethe's Faust, to the lucrative
situation of Registrar of the Court of Admiralty, formerly held
by Mr. Pineau. We are rejoiced at this appointment, because
it speaks not only highly for Lord Mulgrave's judgment, but
proclaims that the spirit of the age is progressing in the right
direction, when it is found imperative to pay such homage to
literary distinction. People always delight to see men of talent
promoted • aad if their pursuits have been of such a description
as to yieligenerel pleasure and instruction, the interest in their
welfare becomes a subject of universal concern. The contrary
is the case when individuals of no merit are elevated to places
of trust for which they are obviously unfit. We a few days
ago, in no measured terms, censured the bad appointments
made by the Irish Government, and in common justice we are
now compelled to speak favourably of one of a different corn-
plexion.—Morning Advertiser.
The four murdered children of Greensmith were
interred in one grave, in the Methodist burial-ground at Bas-
ford, on Thursday. The bodies were placed in separate
coffins, and deposited in the ground on each side of their de-
ceased mother. Many hundred of sympathising spectators
attended the funeral. Greensmith, since his committal to
prison, preserves the same apathy and indifference as he exhi-
bited on the Coroner's inquest, with now and then a sort of
punctious visiting when his children, of whom he appears to
have been fond, are named. In other respects he seems alto-
gether unconscious of having done anything wrong, attribut-
ing the calamity wholly to the threats made use of to him by
Woodward as to the arrears of rent then due. His mother is
at present residing in Nottingham, and labouring under the
greatest anxiety of mind, in consequence of the unhappy fate
of her grand-children, and the dreadful situation her son is
now placed in.
Ross•SHIRE ELECTION, DINGWALL, APRIL 11.
—This day the nomination of candidates for the representa-
tion of the combined eounties of Ross and Cromarty, took
place. The election has excited much interest here. The
late Member—Mr. Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth—being
appointed Governor of Ceylon, his seat necessarily became va-
cant ; and his former opponent, Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecrsos,
lost no time in again announcing his intention of canvassing
the county on the Conservative interest. Some delay occurred
ere a successor to Scaforth on the part of the Liberals, or
supporters of Government, was publicly known ; but at length
Mr. Mackenzie of Muirtown entered the field, supported not
only by his own excellent character and public conduct, but
backed by the whole interest of Scaforth and the Liberal party.
flow the election may terminate, it is impossible for us to say—
it will be very closely contested. At the former election in
January 1835, Applecross lost by a majority of forty, having
polled 194 votes. Since that period his friends and agents
have been unceasingly active ; but the Liberals have also been
on the alert, and our own opinion is that there will be little
change on either side. So many contests have taken place in
Ross-shire, that the Whigs and Tories have ranged then:selves
under their respective banners, and bound themselves to a cer-
tain line of public principle and conduct. The polling com-
menced on Friday.—lnverness Courier.
WEST CORNIYALL.—At a meeting of the friends
of Reform, held in Penzance on Tuesday last, Mr. Ellis, the
new Liberal candidate for this division of the county addressed
the electors.
