GREENWICH-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly after ten o'clock, the returning
officer for the Borough of Greenwich proceeded to the
hustings, and declared the state of the poll. The num-
bers as officially declared were for—
Mr. Attwood
Mr. Barnard 1194
Captain Napier ... 1158
The two first were then declared the Members for the
borough.

The Members shortly returned thanks for the honour dono
them, and promised to do their duty, each according to his
particular creed.
Capt. NAPIER also returned thanks to those honest men
who had voted so nobly for him. They had been defeated
by the influence of money and intimidation ; there was ano-
ther tribunal, where probably the present declaration would
be set aside.
The meeting then dispersed.

Mr. Barnard went home without any show, but
Mr. ATTWOOD first walked and then drove through the
town in all the pride of triumph.
It is freely said in Greenwich that money has been spent
very freely, and that the election has cost not less than
15,0001. to the Tories.

Captain Napier's friends are determined to petition
against the return, and have no doubt of success.

MUSIC,

Fentum, London, 1837.

. _
We haze just seen three songs, entitled, " Our
Queen of the Isles," " God Save the Queen," and
" May the Young Queen be Happy." The music
of each is simple and pleasing in its character. We
quote the words of the last song, as they are better than
the average run of such things :
May the young Queen be happy and calm her renown,
While the sword in the scabbard reposes ;
On the forehead of youth may the sovereign crown
Press no more than a chaplet of roses.
May the arts, as they did in Elizabeth's reign,
Shed around intellectual glory ;
And Victoria's annals be free from the stain
Of the errors that darken'd her story.
May the young Queen be happy, unsullied her court,
And the love of her people her pride and support.

May the young Queen be happy : should peace pass away
Not a heart in her kingdom would falter;
Her voice would call forth a triumphant array
In defence of the throne and the altar.
But laurels enough ready gathered we find,
And no spark of right feeling he loses,
Who prays that the olive may now be entwined
With the ever-green wreath of the Muses.
May tho young Queen be happy, unsullied her court'
And the love of it:- people her pride and support.

THE FUNDS.

Now that the City, Westminster, and the neighbouring
elections have terminated, the excitement is not so great
as it was for these few days past in the City, and business,
both in commerce and the funds, will be more attended to.

opened this morning at 911 ; Exchequer Bills, 48
50 ; India Bonds, 48 50 ; Bank Stock, 210 211 ; India
Stock, 258 259.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Consols have been during the morning at 91/ S for the
Account, but we do not hear of any feature in either of
the markets of consequence.
This day the weekly meeting of the Bank Directors is held.
It is too early yet to ascertain the result of their deliberations,
and it is not apprehended, that any thing will take place out
of the ordinary business.
Consols may be quoted at present at 91/ ; Money,

SUDDEN DEATII.—M.r. B. Chapman, an old in-
habitant of this town, and for many years landlord of the Rose
and Crown Inn, died suddenly at his farm, at Charlton, on
Friday last. He had invited a party of friends to pass the day
with him there ; and a few minutes before his decease he ap-
peered to be in his usual health and spirits. Suddenly, how-
ever, in the very midst of social enjoyment, he was seized with
a fit of apoplexy, and fell, breathing his last without a word,
or scarcely a sigh. Medical aid was instantly sought, but all
efforts to restore animation were unavailing.—Cheltenham
Journal.
STATE OF THE LEICESTER TRADE.—The im-
provement in the demand for goods which we noticed last week
continues ; and now that the raw material and wages are at the
lowest, we have no doubt that we shall experience a steadily
increasing demand". Considerable sales have been made
during the week. Wool is very firm, the farmers still holding
back for higher prices, which the dealers cannot give, as the
demand for goods at Bradford continues dull, and cannot be
expected to improve until the Americans are again purchasers,
which will not be this season. Under these circumstances,
the dealers consider that there is no prospect of wool main-
taining any advance.—Leicester Chronicle.

CARR V. APPLEYARD.

In this matter, which was an appeal motion from an order
of the Master of the Rolls, his Lordship confirmed the judg-
ment of the Court below.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JuLr 26.
BIRCH V. COLEMAN.

This is a suit respecting the validity of the will of Mr.
Knightley Adams, who died on the 26th of December,
1835, at the age of seventy years, possessed of valuable
property. Mrs. Coleman, the niece, and a nephew of the
deceased, would have been entitled in distribution had he
died intestate. By the paper propounded as the last will,
the whole property was given to Mr. Birch, the nephew of
the deceased's wife, in whose handwriting it was. The
paper was not executed until the deceased, as it was
pleaded, had fallen into a stupor, from which he never ral-
lied, and during the continuance of which, in a few hours
afterwards, he died. The paper is opposed by the next of
kin, as being an invalid document. The evidence is of a
very conflicting nature.
Dr. ADDAMS, for Mr. Birch, supported the validity of
the paper.
Dr. HAGGARD will be heard at the next sitting in oppo-
sition to the will, on behalf of a nephew of the deceased.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-Jurr 26.

IN THE MATTER OF LORD EDWARD TIIYNNE.

Mr. COOKE, at the rising of the Court, had an applica-
tion to make on the part ofLord Edward Thynne, confined
in the Queen's Bench prison, praying for leave to file his
petition. The Noble Lord had made the usual affidavit,
which the Court could not dispense with in any case. It

set forth that he was committed to prison on the 28th of
March, at the suit of a creditor named West, and that he
had received since his imprisonment money amounting to
153/., which had been.expended.
Mr. Commissioner BowEN—Have you a copy of causes,
Mr. Cooke ?
Mr. CooxE—A very long copy of causes, there being
many detainers against the Noble Lerd. In the _estate pa-
per, accompanying the affidavit, there appeared a statement
of certain wines and other property, which he valued at
two thousand six hundred pounds. Mr. Tooke, a solicitor,
disputed the right to the property, under a trust deed, made
in 1830. The cause of his not filing his petition within the
prescribed time was, that he had entertained hopes he should
have been prevented the necessity of applying to the Court,
conceiving that by remaining in custody his wife and his
own family would have assisted him, to have enabled him
to offer a composition to his creditors. They bad refused,
and the knowledge of their refusal only came to him on
Wednesday last.
The COURT granted a Rule IVisi.
London, England, 1837-07-27

and- in, the .ii.forrting -l'o'st' of this morning there
was a distinct charge of intimidation against a gen-
tleman connected with the Duke of Sussex. The
story was that that Gentleman had gone to two of the
Park-keepers of St. James's Park or the Green Park, and
on the pain of dismissal, to vote for Evans and himself. Ho
had seen that gent!eman this morning who stated that was
decidedly false.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) So
far from having threatened those gate-keepers, he ac-
tually said to them I wish you to vote for which-
ever candidate you most appi aye of—l wish you
not to consider yourself biassed one way or the other by
holding a situation given you by the Duke of Sussex ; voto
as your conscience dictates, and you may depend on it that
whether you vote for or against us, no notice whatever
will be taken of such vote,—(Loud cheering.) He won-
dered if the Tories could give the same answer to the
charges of intimidation.—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no,")
Look to St. George's parish, where they had liken before
beaten ; they had now a majority there. The electors had
shown that they were determined to stew!, by the Reform,
ers—(cheers)—and reject the Tories, who loved the Tyrant
of Hanover in their hearts.—(Cheers.) They would al-
ways find him in his place in the House of Commons,
advocating the true principles of Reform. The metropoli-
tan boroughs had done their duty, and it now remained
for the metropolitan counties to do the same. Let every
friend to Reform, support King and Angerstein in East
Surrey, and Hume and Byng in Middlesex. The electors
of Westminster had placed their confidence in him, and
he would give them his word it should never he abused.
The Hon. Gentleman concluded by thanking the electors for
the high honour they had done him amid great cheering,
Mr. WHITE then addressed the meeting. He felt
convinced that Sir George Murray would not attempt.again
to ask the suffrages •of the electors of Westminster,
He had shown himself the true Count Lrun.—( Laughter.)
Col. Evers then proposed a vote of thanks to the Re-
turning Officer, the High Bailiff, for his impartial conduct
during the election.
Mr. LEADER seconded the motion.
The HIGH BAILIFF returned thanks ; and after Mr.
Leader had admonished the electors to take care that their
names were properly registered for next year, the meeting
separated by giving three clears for the Queen, and three
groans for the King of Hanover.
The two Members were then chaired round the city.

COLLIERY ACCIDEN T.

Loss OF THIRTY-ONE LlVRS.—Yesterday (Wednes-
day) an alarmingly fatal accident happened in the Argeod
colliery, belonging to Messrs. Hampton. It appears that
a considerable increase of water had flowed into the mines
from the northward of the works during the preceditv, ten
days. This was supposed to come from some of the old
works, or " deads," and as the engines were powerful
enough to keep it under it excited no dread in the minds of
the colliers, who continued their work as usual. On the
men going down into the works on Wednesday morning
the water had increased to a great height in the east
works, and about nine o'clock the under-ground-agent gave
orders to the men to leave off work and go to the surface.
The order had scarcely been given when the roaring of
the water rushing in with dreadful impetuosity was heard,
and the men, eighteen in number, ran to the shafts,
and by a miracle escaped to the surface. The water
was running past them as they were getting out, knee-
deep, and filling the engine-pits, which were on a lower
level of coal. There were upwards of thirty indivi-
duals at work in the engine-pits when the water rushed in
only two of whom had the power of escaping, which they
did by climbing up the engine ; the others were too far off
to render escape possible before they were covered with
water. The steam-engine was immediately set pumping
with all its available power, but the water gained so fear-
fully upon it as to be in a quarter of an hour fifteen yards
deep in the main shaft, thus rendering all power of assist-
ance completely hopeless. The colliery bank during the
day presented a most heart-rending scene, from the parents,
wives, and children of the sufferers, some in despair, others,
still clinging to hope, calling on those relatives lost by therm
in terms of frantic despair or the tenderest affection. It is
quite uncertain when the bodies can be recovered, which de-
pends upon the time the engine takes in reducing the water
in the mine. No hopes are entertained of the lives of any
of the: men being saved, for should any hare escaped drown-
ing the accumulation of foul air in the mine, after ventila-
tion has been suspended, would inevitably suffocate them.
The number of the sufferers has been ascertained to be
thirty-one, ten of whom are married men leaving large fa-
milies of now destitute children. The body of one boy has
been washed LT.—Chester Chronicle.

The prisoner was committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.
Thomas Wyatt, a young man, was charged with assault-
ing his wife. The wife, a tall young woman, had only
Leen married three weeks, and her husband had beaten
ner half a dozen times since that joyful event. On the
preceding night she went to the theatre with her sister,
Lut being taken ill she slept at her mother's, and on going
1 ome in the morning he " beat her to a mummy." She
had made a had bargain in marrying the defendant, and
ished she had never seen him. _ _ _

The defendant said his wife was fond of flirting with
e:ery man who paid her attention, and since her marriage
s'ie continued at her old tricks. He married her in the
h /pc that she would become steady, but, alas; she was as
fond of the theatres as ever. He certainly had given her
" a good quilting" (beating), to make her remember, and not
stcp out all night:
The wife said she was obliged to go out to work while
her husband was in a public-house, and she would not live
with him any longer.
Defendant—Mary, my love, don't leave me ; I only gave
you this little correction to make you love your home. If
you forgive me, I will not prevent your going to theatre
sometimes, but then you must come home after it is over.
The wife said she would not overlook what had hap-
peaed, and the defendant was held to bail.

POLICE COMMITTEE.

ADULTERATION OF LIQUORS.—The Committee of Al-
dermen assembled at Guildhall upon general business.
Sir P. Laurie.had good reason for informing the Committee
that the town was inundated with adulterated beer and
spirits, and that the magistrates were, to a certain extent,
responsible to the public for permitting such disgraceful
adulterations to take place as were proved constantlybefore
the Excise Board. If the aldermen would look cautiously
to the houses of. those convicted of offences of this kind,
and prevent the transfer of licenses to any who appeared in
the black vocabulary, there would be a very strong check
to • the present, nefarious practices by which the public were
half Peisoned and the brewer considerably defrauded. The
Magistrates of St. Marylebone had, for the purpose of put-
, t;qg ap:etid, to.the system of adulteration, written to the
Board of Excise requesting to be supplied with the names
o .such publicans as were convicted, in order to put a veto
u;:on,their licenses, and he believed the Magistrates for the
liberties of the. Vowel' Hamlets had pursued a similar
course. Sir Peter then moved that a letter should be ad-
.iYc.sed to the COMmissioners for a monthly return of such
publicans as should be fined by them for adulterating li-
qaer.s, the Committee being desirous of communicating the
r. quired information to the local authorities in the City,
with a view to an improvement being made in the present
F.yst,m of licensing. The Committee unanimously con-
curred in this resolution.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR PERTH

Not in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of Perth has
so destructive a fire taken place as what occurred last Tues-
day in the immediate neighbourhood of this fair city. The
most extensive, and, as it decidedly is, the most commodious
and most magnificent establishment for lunatics in Britain,
has been destroyed—at all events has been so impaired as
to render it, in the mean time, totally unfit for the recep-
tion of patients. Murray's Royal Asylum for Lunatics has
been destroyed by fire. Amidst the confusion consequent
upon so dreadful an event it cannot be supposed that we are
able to supply our readers with the origin of the fire ;
suffice it, in the mean time, to state that publia rumour
ascribes it to the cook of the establishment being permitted
to cure the vents by burning them. This remedy being
put in execution, the fire speedily communicated by
the joists to the upper suite of apartments, which in
their turn ignited the roof. The flames then burst
out in annihilating fury, and long before assistance
could be procured from the town the whole mass of
building appeared to be the unrelenting victim of the de-
vouring element. So furiously did the flames rage, and so
magnificent did the scene appear to the surrounding coun-
try, that the rural population were attracted, and their at-
tention totally rivetted to the spot. The asylum is built
upon a very elevated situation, probably 300 feet above the
level of the sea, and it commands a view extending in all
directions, except to the south-east, of about twenty or
thirty miles. This circumstance will account for the con-
flagration having been descried at such a distance. from the
scene of action, and the inhabitants of the immedirte
neighbourhood, close upon the classic hill of Birnam, be-
held the horizon illuminated situated north-eastward. The
patients, amounting, male and female, to nearly five
hundred, were, until more suitable quarters could be
provided, lodged in the airing ground of the establish-
ment, but when the fire had, by the exertions of the fire-
men, somewhat subsided, these unfortunate individuals, at
least the male portion of them, were removed to the depot,
where admirable accommodations awaited them. It was
amusing, if we can, amidst the general conflagration, in-
dulge in that strain, to observe the display of the varied
feelings which animated the inmates of the asylum. Some
danced as if rejoicing in the destruction of the place of
their confinement ; some looked indifferent ; some sulky
and displeased ; but all seemed prodigiously astonished at
the novelty of the scene. The local authorities deserve,
upon this occasion, the thanks of the community for their
exertions, as di; the detachment of the 74th Regiment,
who were in attendance ; and Mr. Sheriff Barclay, in par-
ticular, distinguished himself by his zeal and judgment.
The loss is estimated at 15,000/., which is covered by the
insurances in different offices.

For the last few days the neighbourhood of
Brompton and Fulham, has been the scene of some excite-
ment, in consequence of the unaccountable absence of Sarah
Anne Lidfold, a young woman, the daughter of a.tobacconist
in,Earl'a-place. Sunday night, between eight and nine, Miss
Lidfold left her father's house to return to her uncle at North-
end. Mr. Lidfold would have accompanied her, but was
prevented by indisposition. The footpath from Earl's-place
to Northend lies through fields at a considerable distance from
the high road, but no apprehension was entertained of danger,
as she had gone that way many times before alone, even at a
later hour. Next morning Mr. Lidfold's brother expressed
his surprise at the non-return of Miss Lidfold. and.his asto-
nishment was increased when he heard she d
. left home for
that purpose the previous evening. Immediate search was
commenced, and strict investigation has been entered into,
but without a satisfactory result. On Friday Mr. Lidfold
applied to the police. Wednesday a market gardener named
James Grant, while crossing some fields near Queen's Elm
turnpike, discovered a shawl marked with the initials .1. L.,
which has since been identified as part of her dress upon the
evening in question. The lady is twenty-six, of prepossessing
manner, and had not, as far as could he ascertained, formed
any attachment. Up to a late hour on Friday night the
affair remained involved in mystery.
The London mail did not arrive in Leamington on
Tuesday morning until nearly thrie hours beyond the usual
time. At eight o'clock the guard arrived with the bags in a
post-chaise, bringing the intelligence that when near Bices-
ter, the horses, from some cause which we have not yet ascer-
tained, ran the coach against the post of the toll-gate, by
which the vehicle was upset, and so damaged as to render it
unfit for further progress. One passenger, a soldier, was, wei
hear, also seriously7hurt.—Northamptott Mercury,

Bills :

" Resolved—That before any Bill shall be read a second
time in this House for making any Railway, or for varying,
extending, or enlarging any such Railway already made,
lists of the owners, lessees, and occupiers, distinguishing
which of them have assented to or dissented from such in-
tended Railway, or such variation, extension, or enlarge-
ment, or are neuter in respect thereof up to the time of
such Bill having been brought up to the House from the
House of Commons, and an estimate of the expense, signed

compliance with the Standing Orders, nor into any parts of
the contents of any notice, list, ' application in writing,
estimate, book of reference or contract, or of any copy of
any notice, list, application in writing, estimate, books of
reference, or contract, nor of any plan or section, or copy
of any plan or section which are or may be hereafter
ordered by any Standing Order of the House, to be given,
made, deposited, or produced by the parties applying for
such private Bill previously to the second reading thereof
in the House, excepting only in so far as may be rzquired
to enable such Committee to report as to the sufficiency of
the estimate to be proved in evidence before them accord-
ing to the Standing Orders of the House."

A wretched looking hors:, 17 years old, fired in all
his legs and lame before, went, four days ago, from the Bar-
riere St. Danis to Chantilly and back again, a distance of 42
miles, in 4 hours and 40 minutes, rode by a jockey. The
owner, it is said, won 2,000 f. ; the horse cost him 50f., and
the poor animal was, after his aZhievement, sent to the Mont-
faucon shambles to be killed. In this opprobious transaction
several members of the Paris Jockey Club are said to have had
bets.

On Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, a Jury was
empannelled at the Britannia public-house, High-street, Is-
lington, to investigate the singular circumstance attending the
death of John Philip Wilmot, a gentleman of high respectabi-
lity, residing in the neighbourhood, whose premature decease
is detailed in the following evidence : —Sarah Harris, the ser-
vant of the deceased, deposed that on the night of the 12th
instant, she was summoned by the housekeeper (Mrs. Warde)
to come immediately up stairs, as her master had fallen in a fit,
and she (the housekeeper) was afraid he had expired. She
accordingly did as desired, and on entering the room saw Mr.
Wilmot upon the floor, his face very red, and without exhibit-
ing the least sign of life or motion. Witness proceeded to
state that she immediately summoned a physician, who tried
every means in his power, but without producing any good re-
sult, as the vital spark was extinct long before his arrival. By
the Coroner—Was the deceased of intemperate habits ? Wit-
ness—He usually drank to excess when irritated, but had not
that day finished his usual bottle after dinner. When he was
seized with the fit he was reading, as always was his custom in
the evening, and closing the book rather suddenly, he heaved
a sigh, and immediately expired. Deceased was about forty
years of age, and unmarried. Evidence corroborative of the
above was entered into at considerable length, and after a long
discussion, the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased
came by his death in a natural manner, having died from
apoplexy."
