THE PARACHUTE.

As a witness of the melancholy experiment of the unt ortu-
nate individual who has endeavoured to exhibit the power of
descent by parachute from the balloon, I lament to desc ribs
what I was an eye-witness of :—The noise produced, I s up-
pose from the breaking of the supporters, was astounding ; it
indeed seemed impossible that an individual could live in suoh
a situation. He reached the earth alive, but quite insensible!.
He was alive for ten minutes after he came on the earth, but it
was apparent that all was hopeless, from the great wound ow
his temple. The place where he fell is called the Six Acre-
field, belonging to Mr. Norman, Lee, Kent. He was con-
veyed to the Tiger's Head public-house, kept by Mr. Thomas
Seares. _ _ _

Previous to the falling of the parachute, something de-
scended from the car of the balloon, to all appearance like a
large black handkerchief. Mr. and Mrs. Graham expressed
much fear, and directed the person who drove our vehicle to
hasten as quickly as possible, for if any assistance could be
given we wished to be first on the spot.
The above particulars, which, however, are but scanty, were
given to us by Mr. Darby, artist in fireworks, at twelve o'clock
o• Monday night.
Foust O'CLOCK. A. m. Our reporter has just returned from
Vauxhall gardens, but brings no tidings of the descent of the
Nassau Balloon. At half-past three o'clock Mr. Thomas
Hughes, a son of one of the proprietors, returned to the
" Royal property," after a search for the descent of this pon-
derous machine, but could give no information respecting it.
A crowd of persons are assembled around the gardens, in the
hope that some news may arrive this morning of Mr. Green's
safe descent, of which various rumours are in circulation.

CHESTER NOMINATION.

The candidates are Lord Robert Or ,svetsor and Mr. Jer►i?,
the late Member, and the tlon. Mr. Itydor„ who arrived in
Cliester late on Saturday evening.
r lie nomination took place in the Exchange this morning.
Mayorof- Cl:water, Me...Tiro!,..thexioN,_ proposed Lad
Robert Grosvenor in a few words.
Alderman WALNEa seconded the nomination. •
Mr. Wn.t.tamsos proposed, and Alderman Caoss seconded,
the nomination of Mr. Jervis.

Gen. BECK wiTir proposed Mr. Ryder, and the nomination
was seconded by Mr. G. Brio()Kr..
Lord R. GaosvENon then addressed the electors, and enu-
merated the various measures for which the people were in-
'Jebted to the Government, and which he had supported. Ile
then stated his wish to abolish the Corn Laws and substitute a
fixed duty. He was attached to the Established Church, bat
should be glad to see a substitute for Church-rates.
Mr. JERvis next presented himself to the meeting. He
wished to see the pension-list revised, good and conciliatory •
ge.vercraent established and maintained in the colonies and
Ireland, public expenditure reduced, and the Queen sup-
ported. He was no friend to organic changes; and although
wished to see the vote by proxy abolished, he would not do
to thing which could tend to destroy that House of Peers to
which the people were so mainly indebted for their liberties.
He was also desirous that the question of the corn-laws should
be fairly adjusted, the duration of Parliaments shortened, and
that the Ministry should have the power of dismissing them.
Mr. RYDER said that with regard to the Reform Bill, he
would only say that be should have supported it had he been
in Parliament. The principle of the Municipal Reform Bill
was good, but its operation in that city was not so wonderfully
satisfactory as had been represented. He fully concurred
also in the principle of the new Poor-law Bill, but thought it
ought not to apply to that city, or the great manufacturing
districts, and he should resist any such application if he were
returned to Parliament. With respect to the Church Esta-
blishment, he might observe that his father had ever been a
most strenuous advocate for Church Reform, and had, since
1812, originated and supported various measures for that ob-
ject. The Corn-laws he thought mischievous, and should
concur in any plan which would reduce the price of bread
without injuring the farmer. Ile was of opinion that the Re-
form Act ought at least to be final, and lie disapproved of
the Ballot.
A show of hands was then called for, which, being in fa-
vour of Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Jervis, a poll was
demanded on behalf of Mr. Ryder, and appointed to com-
mence on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock.

CANTERBURY.-THE NOMINATION.

The nomination took place on Saturday at the Cattle-
market. Very great excitement prevailed. Lord Albert
Conyngliam was proposed by Alderman Brent in an energetic
speech. in which allusions to the dangers which England had
escaped in the departure of the great Orange conspirator, the
Duke of Cumberland, for a foreign shore were received with
enthusiasm by the Liberals, and with rage and mortification
by the Tories. Alderman Masters seconded the nomination
of Lord Conyngham. William Plummer, Esq. (a magis-
trate), next proposed Frederick Villiers, Esq., as a fit and
proper person, &c. He was seconded by Alderman Flint,
who enlarged on the favourable prospects now opening for
the cause of civil and religious liberty. The cheering here
was very loud, and the interruption from the Tories continual.
R. Chisholm, M. D., then proposed James Bradshaw, Esq.,
on the Conservative interest.—( Cheers, groans, and laugh-
ter.) He was seconded by Wm. Baldock, Esq., Henry Car-
ter, M. D., nominated Henry Plumptre Gipps, Esq., on the
same side. The Tory speeches were unusually tame and ineffi-
cient. Lord Conyngham then addressed the electors. He had a
general confidence in the present Ministry, but should only
support it as long as Liberal measures were pursued. He
hoped to see Lord Durham speedily in conjunction with the
present Ministers. He was favourable to many alterations in
the present poor-law, which bore too hardly upon the aged
and unfortunate.—( Loud cheering.) His Lordship then re-
tired amidst loud applause. Frederick Villiers, Esq., next
addressed the assemblage at great length. He lashed the sys-
tem of corruption and intimidation pursued by the Tories in
this city, and descanted with vehemence on the conduct of the
clergy in mixing themselves up with such foul practices.
Called on to name one individual, he pointed out the Reve-
rend Mr. Molesworth, of political notoriety here. Immense
uproar now ensued, and a scene of confusion which baffles de-
scription interrupted the proceedings for a very considerable
time. The Tory band of flagmen, &c., were instigated, as it
appeared, by some of the leading men, to advance towards Mr.
Villiers's waggon; but the Blues, in overwhelming numbers,
came to the rescue, and prevented, probably, a serious catas-
trophe. Mr. Villiers then renewed his address, and concluded
amidst the most enthusiastic cheering.
The Conservative Candidates briefly addressed their friends,
but were inaudible to the greater part of the multitude. The
Rev. Mr. Mulesworth spoke at some length in attempted ex-
planation of his conduct, defending the interference of the
clergy at elections.—( Uproar.) The Sheriff* then called for
a show of hands, which was taken, and appeared to be greatly
in favour of the two Liberal candidates, about two-thirds of the
immense assomblage being in their interest. The Tories de-
manded a poll, and the meeting dispersed.
The city was further enlivened by the presence of T. Rider,
Esq. (formerly Member of Parliament for Kent), who now
starts against the renegade Plumptre, with the fairest prospects
of success.

POOLE.

The Nctnination of two Candidates for the representation of
this town in Parliament took place on Saturday last. Our
late Members having retired from the representation of the
borough, two gentlemen in the Reform interest, viz., Mr.
Charles Ponsonbv and Mr. G. IL Philips, solicited the
suffrages of the electors, and they have not solicited in vain.
Two gentlemen were also put forward in the Conservative in-
terest, and who had been selected for special reasnns : time
were Sir Henry Willoughby and Sir .I.dm Ben. Walsh. It
is not our business to inquire into the characters of these indi-
viduals ; we have no doubt they are gentlemen of the highest

respectability; but the characters of the individuals with
whom they _were associated, and whose cause they tspoused,
threw a suspicion over them which could not help operating to
their prejudice. The attempts which have been made by art-
ful and designing men to increase the register of electors,
had well nigh destroyed the independence of this borough,
and placed it in the hands of a set of political knaves and re-
negades not to be equalled by any set of men in the kingdom.
On the day of nomination the Reform candidates were escorted
to the hustings, accompanied by music. banters, and flags of
various description.. Their opponents were also escorted in
a similar mluner, and after the addresses the Sheriff called for
slow of hands. This was stated by him, to our utmost
astenishment, to be in favour of Sir John Walsh and Sir
henry Willoughby. It was wittily remarked the. Sheriff
must have lost his eyeglasies, for the numbers in the Reform
interest were very considerably more than the Conservatives.
This day ( Monday) the polling commenced at eight o'clock :
for the first two hours the majority was in favour of the Ba-
ronet—for it was found that the hustings had been taken pos-
session of so as to ensure as Inrge a muster as possible on an
early part of the day. ft very soon, however, became apparent,
that this system could not be persevered in, and at half-past
eleven the numbers were equal, and this gradually increased
on the part of the Reformers, until at four o'ckck the num-
be s stood—

Fur Mr. Charles Ponsonby
Mr. G. R. Philips 257
Sir H. Willoughby
Sir J. B. Walsh
The enthusiasm of the Reforu,ers is it its height. It has
never been equalled ; for so long has the system of misrule
been persevered in, and so positive were the Conservatives of
returning their Members, that it was a generally understood
fact that Poole was to he sacrificed at the shrine of expe-
diency and at least send one Reformer and one Tory—the
two of the latter would be much better. The Reformer!
have nobly done their duty, and have now i►►flitted a blow
which must crush the Tories for ever. To-morrow it i 3 in
tended (when the declaration is made) to proceed into the
adjoining districts, and form a large and respectable procession.

WIGAN-MONDAY.

The Nomination took place this day at eleven o'clock, at
the Moot Hall, The candidates are John Hodson Kcarsler
and Peter Greenhall, Esqrs., in the Conservative interest, and
R. Potter and Charles Standish, Esqrs., in the Whig interest.
The candidates severally addressed the meeting, and the
show of hands was in favour of Messrs. Potter and Standish.
A poll was then demanded by Mr. Gaskell. This contest will
be a very close one.

BAST SURREY.

Last Saturday, Mr. Angerstein, the Reform candidate for
this division of Surrey, and Captain Alsager and Mr. Kem-
ble, the two Tory candidates, attended at Croydon, for the pur-
pose of being introduced to the freeholders. Mr. Locke King,
the other Reform candidate, had visited the town some days
before.
Mr. RUSSELL having been called to the Chair, introduced
Mr. Angerstein to the meeting, and congratulated them on
there now being another Reform candidate in the field.
Mr. ANGERSTFAN said he had supported the Queen's Go-
vernment in all their liberal measures, and he had supported
some measnres which exceeded in liberality any that they
had proposed.—( Loud cheering.) He had voted for a re-
vision of the Pension List ; for though no one was more
disposed than himself to give pensions to those who had
devoted their energies and their intelligence to the pub-
lic service, no one more disapproved than he did the
granting of pensions to extend patronage for electioneering
purposes, or for any other sinister object.—( Hear, hear.) The
lion. Gentleman then spoke of his votes generally, but par-
ticularly of those respecting Ireland, and he was loudly
cheered when he referred to the degraded state to which that
country bad been reduced by the misrule of the Tories.
The Queen's Government was now put on its trial, and he
thought it would be very unjust on the part of the Tories if
they did not give it a fair constitutional trial. As to Cap-
tain Alsager, he respected him as a man, but he believed he
was as stanch a Tory as he was a stanch Constitutional Re-
forming Whig.—( Cheers.) There ought to be no difficulty,
then, in their deciding which way they should vote. With re-
gard to their other candidate, Mr. Kemble, he believed that he
would nuke a tragic business of it.--( A laugh.) Talking
of tragical events, what had Leen the first act of tke reign of
the King of Hanover?—(Groans.) Had it not been to de-
c.troy the Constitution of his country ?—( Renewed groans.)
That royal personage might have attempted the same here if he
had had the opportunity, but lie trusted that as Britons we
should have known how effectually to resist such an act of usur-
pation.—( Cheering. )
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
v; as declared to be at an end.

dred yards from where it alighted, the air did not wore the
leaves of an elm tree. For a few moments the parachute de-
scended so beautifully, and preserved its position so steadily,
notwithstanding its fearful motion, that I thought it would
reach the ground in safety, and I felt relieved from an imense
momentary excitement, from an apprehension flashing across
my mind, that perhaps some human being was periling life it-
self in the experiment.
Being ignorant of the real form of the parachute, I speak
of it as it appeared from a distance. To my eye it had at
round flattish shape, and at this moment it seemed to lean a
little to one side ;it was not horizontal. It remained for a
moment or two in this position ; all the while it was descend-
ing rapidly.
It then fell, as it were, to the opposite side, but with a
quicker motion than when it first lost its horizontal position.
It now oscillated several times quickly. A sort of flapping
motion was then perceptible, and the parachute appeared les-
sened in diameter. It then apparently turned over, and at
this moment something fell out of it at a great height, which,
for the instant I could keep it in sight, did not fall much faster
than the parachute. The parachute again turned over, and, to
me and some others standing near, it disappeared for the
twinkling of an eye, and in the succeeding instant it was seen
to have changed its flattish circular form to that of a long
body, like an umbrella partially opened, or mom correctly,
perhaps, to a balloon very much collapsed and descending with
a great velocity. Some trees intervening preventod my fur-
ther observation.

I made my way through the fields in the direction ha which
I had seen it falling, and as I reached a spot at a little dis-
tance from where it fell I saw the lifeless body of the uafortu-
nate gentleman placed on a hurdle to be conveyed by some
farm labourers to an inn at Lee.
London, England, 1837-07-25

part of the Reform Bill, but that a majority of the Cabinet
being against the measure, he had abandoned it. He consi-
dered that free voting was more consonant with the feelings
of Englishmen, aud more consonant with the feelings of the
country ; and he considered open voting beneficial, because
the non-electors could exercise an influence over the electors
under that mock! ; but he would say that if intimidation were
carried to sucl.i an excess as to pervert the proper use of the
franchise, he would, though reluctantly, accede to it.
Sergeant ADAMS also addressed the meeting at considerable
length, and the meeting was again adjourned.
London, England, 1837-07-25

LYNN-MONDAY.

Cr ur election, which commences to-morrow, continues to oc-
casion much bustle and excitement. Major Keppel's friends
are in good spirits, but appear hardly so sanguine as their
opponents. Though the day of the emancipation of the bo-
rough may not yet have arrived, many circumstances tend to
s,bow that it is steadily approaching. The rulers of the repre-
sentation have not adhered to any political principles with
much firmness, considering probably other objects in view of
paramount importance. The town has been in turn repre-
sented by Sir Martin Folkes (a Whig), Lord Walpole (a
Tory), and Lord William Bentinck and Lord William Len-
nox, something more than Whigs. It has had the good offices
of Lord George Bentinck, when a Reformer, and also now
that he is a Conservative of the first water ; and it has also
been placed, and is sought to be continued under the watchful
guardianship of Sir Stratford Canning, a Tory. Who is to
say from which point of the compass the political trade-winds
may next set in? To be sure it is somewhat annoying to the.
electors and inhabitants to be thus taken from port to port at
the will of the helmsman ; but they must console themselves in
their misfortunes, with the hope that good and weighty rea-
sons for supporting the loyal and constitutional cause will soon
be discovered. In the old-fashioned days of the sheep-shear-
ing festivities at Holkham the name of Coke operated as a
charm here, as many of the county poll-books will show ; and
it is possible, therefore, that the honours recently bestowed by
her Majesty upon that distinguished patron of agriculture, and
sincere friend of the farmers, may serve to awaken some elec-
tors, both fur the town and county, to a sense of their errors,
and to convince them that those who have once supported sound
and constitutional principles should not heedlessly go astray.

THE QUEEN AND THE BISHOP OF NORWICII,—
Amongst the many excellent appointments which have taken
place in the Queen's household, there is none more excellent
than that of the new Bishop of Norwich to be Clerk of the
Closet to her Majesty. Those who have the honour of know-
ing his Lordship will be assured that it would not have been
possible to place about the person of our young Sovereign, in
that most responsible situation, any prelate more certain to give
her faithful and judicious counsel as to the regulation of her
conduct in any matter which may justify his interference ;
whilst his consistent and sterling liberality throughout life af-
fords a pledge that episcopal influence will no longer be used
as a means of causing political and religious privileges to be
withheld from any class of the community through insidious
appeals to the fears or prejudices of the monarch.—Manchester
Guardian.
CHURCH-PrATES.—In the parish of St. Nicholas
Acorns, Lombard-street, a poll having been demanded on the
question whether the consideration of a church-rate be deferred
for six months, a rate of 2s. in the pound was carried by a ma-
jority of nearly five to one.
ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—ThiS theatre opened
yesterday evening with Balfo's opera of Catherine Grey. The
piece was splendidly got up, and extremely well performed.
Miss Romer did great justice to the character of the heroine;
and Miss Rainforth was an admirable Queen Elizabeth. Her
costume was not only correct, but very becoming ; and the
quiet dignity of her manner evinced great judgment. Balls
himself (as before) was Lord Hertford. The performers re,-
ceived a great deal of applause, but the plaudits of the first
night (which this may be considered to have been) are no good
criterion of the success of a piece. After the opera, " God
save the Queen" was sung by the whole strength of the com-
pany, and loudly applauded. The house was good, though not
crowded.

At Methuen, in Scotland, three birds were recently
shot while feeding on the cones of the larch, and found to be
the parrot crossbill—ra: o in this country, though they inhabit
the banks of the Rhine. The plumage of the female re-
sembles that of the green linnet ;, but the male is of a 14
colour on the head, breast and back, with wings and tail of a
dark brown.
It is believed that an artist of celebrity will shortly
figure in one of the Courts at Westminster as defendant in to
action for cries. con. The injured husband, on rn.akilig the
discovery, broke up his domestic establishment, and desired the
lady to quit the house.-- Sunday Paper.

The Nomination of Candidates to represent this place in Par-
liament having been fixed for this day, the respective parties
marched in procession to the hustings at twelve o'clock.
Mr. Fector was proposed by M. Elwin, Esq , and.seconded
by Mr. Alderman Filcher.
Sir John Rae Reid was proposed by W. Dickinson, Esq.,.
and seconded by E. P. Thonison,- Esq.
Mr. Rice was proposed by S. M. Latham, Esq., and se-
conded by Mr. W. Prescott.
On a show of hands being taken, the Mayor declared it in
favour of- Edward Rice, Esq., and Sir John Rae Reid ; on
which a poll was demanded for Mr. Fector, and appointed to
be taken to-morrow morning at eight o'clock.
The show of hands for Mr. Rice was immense ; that for Sir
John Reid much less, but very numerous. The show for Mr.
Fector ver,k_weak indeed. '!'here is scarcely a doubt that Mr.
Rice and Sir John will be elected. Mr. Fector has lost much
of his interest by his absurd crusade against the Commissioners
of Dover Harbour.
London, England, 1837-07-25

LIVERPOOL-MONDAY.

At ten o'clock the Mayor opened the businers of the day
according to the usual forms, and the nomination of the can-
didates forthwith proceeded.
NICHOI.A.S ROBINSON, Esq., proposed Lord Sandon as a fit
and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament.
CH ItLES LAWRENCE, Esq., seconded the nomination.
It \tits Baascium, Esq., proposed William ; Ewart, Esq.,
as a fit and proper person to represent the borough.
W. W. CURRIE, Esq., seconded the nomination.
Sir T. BRANCKER proposed Creswell Cresswell, Esq , as
a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament,
and as one who would aid Lord Sandon in supporting those
principles which that Noble Lord had so strongly advocated.;
DAVID HODGSON, Esq., seconded the nomination.
Josue: a WALMERSLET, Esq, proposed Howard Elphinstone,
Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough, and
to support the principles which were advocated by Mr. Ewart.
HUGH lloarsay, Esq., seconded the nomination.
Lord SANDON then addressed the electors, but the attempt
to obtain, a hearing was utterly unavailing.
E Mr. W ART next addressed the people, but the effort was
fruitless.

The other candidates followed with similar success. The
contest is expected to be a close one.

Mr. &ROPE afterwards addressed the meeting.
Lord Joss RrssELL presented himself to the meeting. His
Lor latip went into a detailed justification of the conduct of
Mini,ters. In speaking of the poor Laws, be reminded them
that the measure was passed before he was returned so Par-
liame it for Stroud, and that Ole cry now raised against the
rneasu.'a was for party purpwes.—( Cries of " No, no.") He
admitt ql the measure was not a perfcct one, but he hoped it
would be perfected.

WORCESTER.

The Nomination of the Candidates for the representation of
this city took place on Saturday. Mr. Robinson, the former
representative, in connection with Colonel Davis, after heinn-
nominated, came forward, and stated the reasons that induce'd
him to resign.
Upon Mr. Robinson finally withdrawing from the contest,
and quitting the hustings, some delay t.ok place, in conse-
quence of a conference between the Sheriff and the two other
candidates, and their friends, as to the course of proceeding
next to be adopted, and during which there were loud calls
from amidst the electors for Mr. Hebb, the Mayor, and Mr.
Mcrrison to be put in nomination.
The Sheriff having declared that in the absence of a third
candidate, Mr. Bailey and Colonel Davies were duly elected,
the former gentleman came forward, and was received with a
salvo of mingled cheers, groans, and hisses, when Mr. J. D.
Stevenson proposed James Morrison, Esq., of Fore-street,
London ; who was seconded by Mr. Raby, amid great confu-
sion. The Sheriff refused to recognise this nomination, and
observed that it was too late, as the return had already been
Made. Mr. Stevenson, upon this, sigailled to the Sheriff,
that, as an elector, he protested against the return. .
The probability of Mr. Robiason's reaignation was
uhispered early in the morning, but still his announcement
of it evidently took the greater portion of the meeting by sur-
prise, and this surprise was certainly not more visiine upon the
faces of any than the two other lion. Candidates. Mr. Ro-
binson left the city shortly before two o'clock, for Cheltenham,
amidst the sincere regret of his friends, and the adnirer; of
that straightforward integrity and independence of conduct
which have ever distinguished his Parliamentary career. We
understand that Mr. J. D. Stevenson has presented to the
Sheriff, J. F. Gibb, Esq., a formal protest against the return
of Mr. Bailey and Colonel Davies, on the ground that such
return is illegal, inasmuch as he, Mr. Stevenson, had pre-
viously apprised the Sheriff of his intention to put Mr. Mor-
rison in nomination, but which nomination the Sheriff refused
to accept, but proceeded to declare the return of Mr. Bailey
and Colonel Davies.—Worcester Herald.

WEYMOUTH

ANGLUSEA COUNTY.--We have just received intelligence
that Mr. Meyrick, the Tory candidate, has retired from the
contest ; so that Mr. Stanley, the Reform candidate, will be
returned without opposition.
London, England, 1837-07-25

It. was opposed by all the members of the Government. A
division took place, and the numbers were 265 against the
ballot, and 133 for it. How was the majority of 265 com-
posed ? In that number of 265 there were not less than
186 Conservatives, and only 79 Ministerial Members. An-
other proposition ensued for turning the Bishops out of the
House of Lords. When the question came to the vote, it
was found that there were 197 Members against turning the
Bishops out, and 105 for it. In that majority there were 138
Conservatives, and only 59 Ministerial Members ; so that on
both occasions, unless the Ministers had been supported by the
Conservatives, they would have been left in a minority.—
( Cheers.) The same thing had occurred on 50 other occa-
sions, and he would venture to say that two-thirds of his votes
had been given in support of the Government against their
own friends.—( Cheers and laughter, and a cry of " You sup-
ported the Poor Law Bill.") He admitted it, and his opinions
regarding the leading enactments of that measure remained
unchanged. He was convinced it would tend to a beneficial
result as regarded the poor, but at the same time, if there was
any hardship in its operation, he should be glad to see it cor-
rected. In conclusion, the Right Hon. Baronet said, if he
were returned to Parliament he should maintain to the utmost
the principles he had avowed. He would resist every in-
sidious scheme for changing the character of the institu-
tions of the country, and would never consent to the gradual
infusion of so much of the democratic principle as would
ultimately convert the ancient monarchy into a republic.
He would maintain the privileges of the House of Lords, and
strive to the utmost of his power to enable her Majesty, after
a long and glorious reign, to deliver over to her successor—
God grant it might be the direct heir, and one of her family_
the prerogatives of the monarchy unimpaired, and the liberties
of the people increased and confirmed.—( Loud cheerine-''.)
Captain TOWNSHEND next came forward, and was loudly
cheered by his friends. As for his principles, he needed only
to say that he was a Whig, but no Radical. He was a sup-
porter of the present Government, and if he were returned,
he should not be surprised to find Sir R. Peel voting with him,
because he thought it not impossible that another eDnversion
might be effected in that quarter.
Captain A'Couicr avowed himself a Conservative—a deter-
mined upholder of our glorious Constitution of Queen, Lords,
and Commons. After some further observations, which want
of time compels us to omit,
The show of hands was called for by the Mayor, and de-
clared by him to be in favour of Sir Robert Peel and Captain
A' Court.
A poll was immediately demanded on behalf of Captain
Townshend. The voting will take place to-morrow ( Tues-
day). The proceedings terminated about half-past two o'clock.

HATTON.GARDEN.

Yesterday Jan:;.; Walker, an urchin about nine years of
age, was placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Mary Wil-
liams, of No. 3, Union-court, Islington, with being found on
her premises with intent to commit a felony.
The prosecutrix on Tuesday last, about nine o'clock in
the morning, had occasion to leave home for a short time,
and on her return, and proceeding to the first floor, she
heard some one in the apartment, and on opening the door
she saw the prisoner getting out of the window, and got
upon the ledge, from which he dropped to the pavement at
the risk of his life. She instantly pursued him, with the
cry of " Stop thief," and he was eventually taken into cus-
tody by a police constable.
The prisoner, a fat, chubby-looking fellow, stood at the bar

smiling whilst the prosecutrix was giving her evidence, and
behaved himself with great effrontery. Being asked how
he procured his livelihood, he answered flippantly, " In
the best way I can. My father and mother are both
dead."

The Magistrate inquired of the officers whether he was
known ?

An inspector said that the prisoner was one of the most
daring young thieves in the neighbourhood of Islington,
and lie had been repeatedly in custody on charges of rob-
bery. He had been convicted at that office, and sentenced
to three months' imprisonment ; but he endeavoured to
make his escape from the prison.
Prisoner (impudently, and giving a side look at the inspec-
tor)—What! do you mean to swear that? Are you on
your oath ?

Three constables swore that they had had the prisoner se-
veral times in custody. He had once escaped from Bride-
well, where he was sentenced for three months.

Prisoner (affecting astonishment)—Well, I never—you'd
swear a man's life away but I can't help it.
The Magistrate committed him to the House of Correc-
tion and hard labour for three months.
On being handed over to the gaoler he said, with bra-
vado, " Never mind, it isn't the first time. I suppose I
shall meet some of my old pals in limbo."
