CARMARTHENsiIIith LLLu t iur

SWANSEA, AUG. B.—The election for the county to re-
turn two Members commenced in this county yesterday.
It has usually sent one Tory and one Reformer, in tit,
Hon. R. Trevor, and Sir James H. Williams ; but I am
sorry to say that I
very much fear, from the state of thi
first day's roll (as under), the latter gentleman will lose
his election. At the close of the first day they stand
thus :

Trevor, Jones, Williams,
2,081. 1,835 1,675
Tory, Tory, Reformer ;
unless (as I have just heard, from very good authority),
the Tories have nearly brought all they have to bring up
to the poll the first day—I hope such may be the case,
for a more worthy Member of the late Parliament does not
exist than Sir James Williams. But here again, as in the
county of Glamorgan, things have been moat wretchedly
manafiecl on the part of the RcAnvers. It is now too late
to say much on this subject, as the mischief has been done,
except it be for the future ; and the exultation of the
enemy is increased by our complainings. We are not in
Wales alone in such gross bad management ; as I perceive
you in England (Middlesex to wit) has entailed a lasting
disgrace upon itself, in the rejection of Mr. Hume, one of
the most useful Members of the House of Commons, as
even Tories admit.

COUNTY OF DUBLIN ELECTlON.—Yesterday the elec-
tion of two Members to represent the metropolitan count)
of Ireland in Parliament took place at the Court-house.
Kilmainham. It was rumoured dozing the past week, an'
even in the course of yesterday morning, that the
ton or Hanoverian party was determined en a contest, any.
that their not having avowed such an intention was inere!)-
for the purpose of taking by surprise the " friends of the
Queen." But no Tory durst show his face. George Evans.
Esq., and Lord Brabazon were triumphantly returned.
They were declared duly elected, without even an under
erowl from the bull dogs or blood hounds of the faction.
They showed their teeth, but they had not courage, to get
up even a bark.
KILDARE.—Yesterday the nomination of the candidates,
Mr. OTerral, Mr. Mitliven, Mr. Archbold, and of Mr.
Bourke, the Conservative took place. Mr. Ruthven did
not appear in high favour with the multitude, and seems
to have incurred the popular displeasure, more than the
friends even of the Conservative.

CARLOW.—Colonel Bruen, Mr. Vigors, Mr. Bunbury,
and Mr. Bagot, were severall proposed and seconded. The
Court then adjourned till the next day.
WATERFORD CourtTr.--The Beresfords are beaten, and
have retreated yesterday. The SherifF declared Mr. Wyse
and Mr. Baron duly elected. A grand public entry is
to be made by them this day into the city. It is a
remarkable fact that it was on this day twelve months
that the Earl Mulgrave made his triumphant entry
into the City. We have no doubt that the entry of
the Liberal Catulidates will equal that in magnificence and
spirit-stirring. incident.. This is also the anniversary of Mr.
Wyse's election for Tipperary. •

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10. 1:37,

rich the foreign Ministers at this Court have receive
,nil presented their new credentials from their respectiv,
Courts. Baron Von Canitz, the Prussian Ambassador.
rho will in future reside at Hanover instead of Cassel;
,-01 presented his new credentials before General Halkett.
mho was sent to notify to the King of Prussia the acces-
:ion of our new Sovereign, bed arrived at Bolin, from
vhich place, as the King had already left it, he foiloweci
him to Toplitz. The new credentials must, therefore, have
icen made out before the King's departure. In the same
nanuer the Russian Minister, Von Schroeder, (who is also
weredited to the Courts of Dresden and Weimar) had
presented his credentials before the notification of the ac-
cession of our King hal reached St. Petershugh.
The same is the case with the new credentials of the Ba-
varian Minister and Privy Councillor, Von Hormdvr Her-
tonber:f. Of the other newly accredited Ministers, General
Von Bismark (the Wurtenburg Mitiister) is gone first in
Southern Russia. The King and Queen go to Carlsbad.
The most general and painful interest is felt here in the
melancholy situation of the Crown Prince, who, though he
'ias been sa short a time here, acquired the most sincere
affection of the people by his affabiity, his goodness of
heart, and the affecting fortitude with which he bears his
misfOrtune. He is accompanied, as you know, to Nordernv
by his Physician, Privy Councillor Von Grade, that his
nerves may he strengthened by sea bathing before an ope-
ration is performed on the eye, which may perhaps be
saved. The most fervent prayers of the whole country ac-
companying bins thither ; but unhappily, from what tran-
spires in public, one eye is wholly and irrecoverably lost ; the
other it is said gives little hope. If (which may Heaven avert)
the operation should fail of the desired success, the affair
will he of the highest importance to .this; country in a poli-
tical point of view. It is hitherto a thing unheard of in
the history of Europe for a Monarch, in a state of blind-
ness, to ascend the Throne. In the histories of the By-
zantine atrocities, and of the former dominion of the Moors
in Spain, there may perhaps have been instances of a Prince
whose eyes were put out by one party, to make him inca-
pable of wearing the Crown, having been called to it by
the other party. But no ease of a blind Monarch mount-
ing the Throne has ever happened in the history of Eu-
rope, properly so called. If, therefore, his Royal Highness
should not recover his sight, the ease provided for in Sec.
14 of the Constitution will doubtless
.ensue—namely, the
formation of a Regency.
" A Regency takes place when the King is either ender
age, or otherwise hindered from personally exercising the
functions of Government."

VIENNA, JULY 31.—The disorder of the Empress is
the measles, but the alarm excited by the first news is
allayed by the bull, tins which have been received to-day,
and are very favourable.

INCIDENT IN THE FIRST PENINSULAR WAR.

—Late one evening- a small party of French dragoons ap-
peared unexpectedly among the mountnins ; and the se-
cluded valley where El Marico dwelt was soon discovered
by these marauders. They approached the old man's cot-
tage, were civilly received, accommodated with food and
wine, their horses supplied with corn, and all that submis-
sive peasants could do to propitiate their clemency was
tried. Hew was El Marico's hospitality returned 9 He had
no gold to tempt their cupidity, and in his peaceful occu-
pation and feeble strength there was no plea to excite ap-
prehension or justify severity. But he was a husband and
a father, His wife retained some portion of her former
beauty ; and his daughters, only verging upon womanhood,
were singularh; bandeeme. Morning had just dawned, the
order to march was given, end the unhappy family, suppos-
ing that, pleased with the civility they bad experienced
through the night, the marauders would take a friendly

leave, came forward to soy farewell. Half the party
mounted, when, on a signal from their officer, a dozen rut.-
flans seized on the peasant's daughters, and placed them
before two dragoons. In vain the astonished mother cl,lrg
wildly to one of her beloved ones—in vain the father rushed
upon the horseman who held the other ; he was maimed
for life by a sword cut, and his wife was savagely shot by
the horseman from whose ruffian grasp she had striven to
extricate her child. Wounded and bewildered, El Msrico
leaned over the dying woman. In a few minutes she
breathed her last, and her groans mingled with her daugh-
ters' shrieks, as they came at intervals from the mountains
over which the ravishers were carrying then). For three
months El Marko remained an idiot, and during that time
no tidings of his children could be obtained. At length
they returned to their once happy and innocent home—one
only to die, the other to exist dishonoured.—The Bivouac ;
by the Author of " Stories qf Waterloo."

COPENHAGEN, TIIE CHARGER THAT CARRIED

WELLINGTON AT WATEIILOO.—" He died last year," says
Miss Mitford, in her Country Stories ' just published, "at
the age of 27. He was therefore in his prime on the day
of Waterloo, when the Duke, (then and still a man of iron)
rode him for seventeen hours and a half without dismount-
ing. When his Grace got off, he patted him, and the horse
kicked, to the great delight of his brave rider, as it proved
that he was not beaten by that tremendous day's work.
After his return, this paddock was assigned to him, in
which be passed the rest of his life in the most perfect com-
fort that can be imagined ; fed twice a day (latterly upon
oats broken for him) with a comfortable stable to retire to,
and a rich pasture in which to range. The late amiable
duchess used regularly to feed him with bread, and this
kindness had given him the habit (especially after her death)
of approaching every lady with the most con tiding fami-
liarity. He had been a fine animal, of middling size,
and of a chesnut colour ; but latterly he exhibited
an interesting specimen of natural decay, in a state as
nearly that of nature as can well be found in a civilized
country. He had lost an eye from, age, and had become
loan and feeble, and, in the manner in which he approached
even a casual visitor, there was something of the demand of
sympathy, the appeal to human kindness, which one has so
often observed from a very old dog towards his master.
Poor Copenhagen, who, when alive, furnished so many relics
from his mane and tail to enthusiastic young ladies, who
had his hair set in brooches and rings, was, after being in-
terred with military honours, dug up by some miscreant
(never, I believe, discovered), and one of his hoofs cut off,
it is to be presumed for a memorial, although one that
would hardly go in the compass of a ring. A very fine
portrait of Copenhagen has been executed by my young
friend Edmund Havell, a youth of 17, whose genius as an
animal painter will certainly place him second only to
Landseer."

Yesterday, at the Thames Police Office, Jas. Na-

Lion, a Custom House officer stationed on board the Speed,
a vessel loading for Boston, America, was again brought
up, on the charge of stealing from a chest of plate a mas-
sive silver coffeepot, ewer, and teapot, during the absence
of the. captain and mate ashare. The evidence fully sub-
stantiated the charge, and the Magistrate, in fully commit-
ting him to Newgatc for trial, strongly censured the pri-
soner for aggravating his guilt by endeavouring to persuade
the steward, Ling, to join him in the robbery.
• Some days ago a person, having the dress and Man-
ners of a gentleman, speaking French fluently, but with an
English accent, entered a furnished hotel in one of the best
parts of Paris, and engaged a handsome apartment, saying
that he had just arrived by the diligence from one of the
sea-ports, and that his servant would follow him in a few
minutes with his luggage. He then ordered a sumptuous
breakfaq, but, on the return of the waiter, after a short ab-
sence, iewas found that the new guest had decamped, carry-
ing with him the plate with which the table had been fur-
nished. On Sunday morning the same person was arrested
at an hotel in the Rue St. Honore, in the act of performing
a similar trick ; and, the news of his capture having brought
several proprietors of hotels to the Prefecture of Police, he
was recognized by them ..as, having committed depredations
in their houses.— Galignani's llfessen:;er.
The Suabian Mercury gives the following extract
of a letter from Smyrna, dated July Bth :—" The French
physician, Dr. Bulard, who innoculated himself with the
plague, is perfectly convalescent, but is still in quarantine.
The Archbishop, the Grand Vicar, and all the Foreign
Consuls, have been to visit him. The principal inhabi-
tants have resolved to have a medal struck in his honour.
The plague is diminishing, and the experiments made and
published by Dr. Bullard have dissipated the prejudices
entertained against his mode of treatment, and have at
length created general confidence in him." An Autrian
journal gives the following of the 15th ult. from Corfu

. .
" 'We have received satisfactory accounts from Poros on
the subject of the plague. For the last fortnight no- new
ease has occurred, and there are not more than six patients
altogether in hospital.. All merchandise, however, coming
from Greece, is subjected to 23 days' quarantine, that from
Naples, Sicily, and Malta to 28 days' quarantine, regulations
to that effect having been established since the Bth instant."
Extract of a letter from Tripoli :—" The plague is conside-
rably on the decline. According to the last accounts from
Bengali, the sanatory,-state of that town is satisfactory,
thanks to the quarantine imposed on every description of
merchandise from Tripoli. The malady has likewise totally
disappeared from Tunis."
