HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday a number of shopkeepers appeared on sum-
monses at this office, charged with exercising their worldly
calling on the Lord's Day. The informations were laid
by a constable and an ex-beadle.
Mr. Borehain, a bilker, residing in Islington, was fined
ss. and costs, for selling six pennyworth of biscuits.
Alfred Lewis, a dealer in sweet meats, was fined ss.
and 4s. 6d. costs, for serving two children with a penny-
worth, or accarding„to his own admission, a farthing's
worth of .. lolly pop," on Sunday afternoon, at half- past
two o'clock. ,
Theresa Brentall, a widow, was fined 53., for selling a
small quantity of oil and a piece of soap to a woman who
came to her in a state of great excitement, and wanted
them for her child, who had been scalded.
Robert Bourne was fined ss. and costs for selling a
pennyworth of pepper.
The neat p,.rson called was a fruiterer of the name of
Humphries, Southampton-street, charged with having his
shop open at ten o'clock. He demurred to the summons,
on the ground that the information was laid in the 3 car
1809. This being the fact, the ease was dismissed, and
as it turned out all the other informations were of the same
date, the Magistrate could do nothing less than order the
money to be refunded to the parties, upon which the in.
formers left the office amidst shouts of laughter.

CARLO W ELECTION COMMITTEE
(YESTERDAY.)

The Committee met at eleven o'clock. Mr. GROTE in
the Chair.

Mr. AUSTIN (with whom was Mr. COCKBURN) opne.l
the case for the pe•itioner, Mr. Gisborne, alleging that
numbe-s of his voters had been bribed, or abduced by the
agents of Mr. Bru,n.
The petitioner's Counsel having next proposed to put
the poll-b,oks,
The evidence WAS objected to by Messrs. TIIESIGER
and WRANGHANI, Counsel for the Sitting Member ; and
after a long► and uninteresting argument, the Committee de-
cided that the poll-books should be received in evidence.
The petitioners then proposed to object to the vute of
Matthew Jenkinson.

To this the Counsel for the sitting Member objected on
the ►round that there was another Matthew Jenkinson on
the poll, and there was nothing to specify on the list of ob-
jections delivered in, which of the two was the party ob.
jeetcd to.
Mr. Cocxnutor alleg,d that as bath were objected to
and as one bad recciv,d notice hims,lf, to produce his cer-
tificate of registry, the notice was sufficiently explicit. •
Mr. WRANCIAM, in reply, contended that there being
two Matthew J:•nkinsous, in different classes of objections,
there was no description by which the Counsel for the
sitting Member would know in which class either of them
was.

The Committee derided that the vote was insufficient.
Mr. CocKnerot ,viihed to give evidence of the notice to
one of the parties, but the Committee held this to be a re-
opening of the point they had decided.
The petitioner's Counsel then objected to the vote of
a person named :Moorhead, for change of qualification.
The discussion on this vote into which the Com-
mittee entered was not concluded when it was announced
that Mr. Speaker had taken the Chair.

Maj.Tity for Kelburn -449

Sorry are we to say, that the present Government alone are
to blame for the loss of Ayrshire. Their measures during the
last five years have disgusted many, and rendered careless and
unfriendly more Reformers, who would willingly and rapidly
rescue Ayrshire from Tory thraldom, but who would not stir
on 'Monday from their houses. It is not that the To:ies are
not less hateful to the majority ; but that the Whigs have be-
come so completely Toryisb, as to be included in the same
category. The unenfranchised openly revile the Whigs —the
enfranchised, disappointed in every fresh trial, now leave them
to their fate. Nothing can rouse the liberal electors of Scot-
land from this deadly lethargy, short of the return of Tories,
or of the entrance of more decided Liberals to power. If Lord
Durhard takes the 'helm, and gives the country his test, or even
if he honestly tries, stud fails to do so, and appeals to the con-
stituencies, he would reeover Ayrshire itself iu one week.
The present Government, too, might do so, but will they try?

ments, Norfolk, aged 82 years. He was consecrated

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND
Wl:m.s.—h appeared in the Bath Herald last week t ,at
the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and his nephew, Mr. Har-
n 'se, were dangerously ill ; Mr. Harness's demise has been
already announced, but it was hoped that from the Bishop
havisig passed through this town on Monday, on his way to
Weymouth, his health had improved ; we have, however,
just heard, from undoubtc-1 authority, that he expired at
Weymouth yesterday.—[ Since the above was written ano-
ther messenger has arrived in Sherborne, who says the Bi-
shop is not yet dead.—ED. Sherborne Journal 1 The
Bath Chronicle of yesterday also states that the Bishop is
recovering.
THE LEGAL. PROFESSION.—No fewer than
gentlemen have given the requisite notices of their
intention to apply next term to be admitted attorneys of
the Court of Queen's Bench.
No stronger proof could be adduced to show that
the present House of Commons feels a lively interest in
Ittkestions of literature and the rewards for literary labours,
ulti the fact that on Wednesday night not less than
Members were present at the commencement of
