nel Fleet in the Roads. After visiting the fleet they
proceeded to Weymouth on board the Trinculo
gunboat, and after a short sojourn re-embarked on
board the Admiralty yacht Enchantress and pro-
ceeded to the eastward on Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock. • The Enchantress arrived at Portsmouth
at a late hour on Sunday evening from Plymouth
and Portland. Their Lordships disembarked from
the yacht at the dockyard yesterday morning, and
returned to London by the 11 a.m. train. She
afterwards sailed for the eastward to be in attend-
ance upon the board during the forthcoming annual
visit of inspection (so-called) to the different Royal

STAMPED sd.

(Renewedish
y r opponents.e) Now,() permit
to underrate or to disparage the triumph which has
tonly
te
en predict.obtained
to say this, that I think when you examine it you
must allow that there are causes besides those of
concurrence in political opinion which have com-
bined to secure the success of Mr. Cowper. (hear,)
In the first place, every one knows that a candidate
who is singly opposed to three may obtain split
votes, not from any agreement in his political opi-
nions, but from a natural sympathy with a man who
fights with remarkable qualities of courage and
ability against superior numbers. lie has also had •
another advantage which any other Liberal candi-
date would scarcely command. lle is a near con-
nection of a popular and brilliant minister—(hear)
—whom many Conservatives do not desire to dis-
place, and who, apart from politics, possesses many
of those qualities which attract affection and com-
pel admiration. (Cheers.) And, moreover, 11Ir.
Cowper has had in his favour—'a cry of "He is
worthy of it")—and he is worthy of it—that fasci-
nating influence which the sternest among us would
find it difficult to resist. (Hear, hear.) I confess
that when I heard that certain fair and enthusiastic
canvassers in his favour were approaching my own
estates I felt a thrill of alarm—(cheers and laugh-
ter)—lest they should summon me too to surrender
and carry me off captive to poll for Mr. Cowper.
(Renewed cheers and laughter.) I have read
somewhere that the last of the witches who were
executed for witchcraft in England lived somewhere
in the neighbourhood of Panshanger (continued
cheers and laughter) ; and I am only afraid that
she has bequeathed to certain fair inhabitants of
that classic region all her ancient spells and much
more than her ancient charms. (Great cheering and
laughter.) Now, under all these circumstances, you
must allow us at least the consolation of thinking
that while we do not deny the victory that you have
obtained, we may reasonably ascribe it to a gifted
and a fortunate individual than to the superiority
of a political party. (Hear, hear.) But, be that
as it may, I trust that the defeat, such as it is, will
only stimulate our friends—will only stimulate the
Conservatives of this county to redouble their exer-.
tions to recover and maintain the position we had
hitherto occupied. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen,
it only remains for me to thank most sincerely and
gratefully those who have honoured me with their
support upon this occasion. Although there is at
this moment a singular suspension of exciting topics
in the country, yet judging by a somewhat prolonged
experience of public life, I can foresee that there
must shortly arise both at home and abroad ques-
tions in which the interests of this country will be
vitally engaged ; and I cannot but feel glad that in
the consideration and discussion of those questions
your renewed confidence will enable me to take a
humble share. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. SURTEES next addressed the meeting, and said
he thanked most heartily the 2,478 electors—(cheers
and uproar)—who had so zealously supported him
upon that occasion. He felt most grateful for the
honour they had conferred upon him in again re-
turning him to Parliament. (Hear, hear.) But, on
the other hand, he most deeply lamented the loss
which the Conservative cause had sustained by the
success of their opponents, and by the rejection of
their late highly esteemed and tried member, Mr.
Abel Smith. (Hear, hear.) He believed, however,
that the loss was but temporary, and that there was
no good ground for supposing that any change had
taken place in the political convictions of their
agricultural and Church-loving constituency.
(Cheers and uproar.)
Mr. ABEL SMITH then briefly addressed the elec-
tors, and was received with loud cheers. He said
that on former occasions he had always stood
before them as a successful candidate, but this
time fortune had deserted him. He would still,
however, return his best thanks to his friends
and supporters for their exertions on his
behalf, and he was quite certain that it
was not through want of zeal or exertion
on their part that he had been defeated. He
was rejoiced that the Conservative cause had met
with the services of that eminent man who was an
honour to the constituency he represented, Sir
Edward Lytton, and he must at the same time say
that after the gallant conduct of Mr. Surtees in
coming forward as a candidate last year, he should
have been sorry if he had not been returned. Al-
though he was certainly disappointed at the result
of the election, still, if one of the Conservative mem-
bers was to go out, he thought it was better that he
should be that one than Mr. Surtees. (Cheers.)
Mr. Cowper had made an allusion to what he had
said on a previous occasion about no compromise
being allowed to take place in future, and he would
now say that he did not regret the contest that had
taken place ; they had had a fair fight like English-
men ; and although he was defeated, he was young
enough to hope that upon some future occasion he
might be more successful, and again have the honour
of representing the county of Hertfordshire in Par-
liament. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff terminated
the proceedings.

naval ports.
Her Majesty's ironclad screw steamship Prince
Consort, 35 guns, Capt. George 0. Wines, C. 8.,
and the ironclad screw frigate Achilles, 20 guns,
Capt. Edward W. Vansittart, arrived in Portland
Roads on Saturday last from Plymouth to rejoin
the Clw.nnel squadron.
TheiAlullet, 5, screw gun-vessel, 430 tons, 80-
horse power, which was paid out of commission on
the 15th inst., after having been employed for three
years on the West Coast of Africa, was taken into
the large basin in Sheerness yard on Saturday last,
to have her engines overhauled, and the ship brought
forward for recommission as early as possible.
The Griffon, 5, screw steam gun-vessel, 425 tons,
80-horse power, which returned from the West
Coast of Africa after four years' cruise on that
station, under the command of Commander (now
Capt.) J. L. Perry, has been taken into Sheerness
dockyard, and has had her boilers removed for the
purpose of repairing them. The hull and engines
are to be likewise thoroughly repaired, and the ves-
sel to be brought forward with all despatch for re-
commission.

The Erne gunbboat, Lieut. in command J. R. D.
Cooper, who has just been commissioned to replace
the Herring as tender to the Trafalgar, screw steam
coast guardship at Queensferry, has been taken for
the trial of her engines previous to leaving Sheer-
ness for Scotland. The main speed attained at full
boiler power was over 8 knots per hour, and the
machinery worked very satisfactorily. The Erne
will leave Sheerness in a few days.
The cupola ship Royal Sovereign, 5, Capt. F. A.
Herbert, which left Plymouth on Saturday afternoon
with the Achilles, returned to the Sound in the
evening, and continues there.

, A Swedish sailing frigate, from the westward, ar-
rived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon.
The left wing of the 26th (Cameronian)Regiment
embarked for Bombay- yesterday morning at Ports-
mouth, on board the hired sailing transport Cospa-
trick, Commander Elmslie, R.N.R., in the following
strength :—Capt. C. R. B. Calcott, in command ;
G. E. P. Trent, J. Armstrong, G. S. Hamilton, and
T. Lawson ; Lieuts. L. Cubitt and W. B. Burton ;
Ensigns L. Clark, G. H. Wilson, F. S. Alexander,
J. Macfarlane, and J. B. Clark ; Assist-Surgeon
J. Johnston, in medical charge; 3 officers' wives, 348
non-commissioned officers and men, 34 soldiers'
wives, and 46 children. The embarkation was
effected at an early hour in the morning, under the
superintendence of Capt. R. Locke, Embarkation
Officer to the Hon. Council of India, and the As-
sistant Quartermaster-General of the South-West
District, and in a manner highly creditable to the
discipline of the regiment. Lieutenant-General Sir
George Buller, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of
Portsmouth garrison and the general officer in com-
mand of the South-West Military District, paid a
visit to the ship in the forenoon, and, after the men
had been told off to their respective messes on board,
the Cospatrick was towed out of the harbour in the
evening to Spithead and afterwards sailed for
Bombay.

MR. JUSTICE BYLES ON COURTS OF ARBITRA•
TION.—At Stafford, on Friday, Mr. Justice Byles,
in his charge to the Grand Jury, made the following ob-
servations•
' out of combinations to raise wages. I am happy
Thoeflapsetoptilme e
wlerheadehthaerghedonewurithtomm
to observe that there are no cases of that description in the
present calendar, and I should be happy to believe if I
could that tho differences between masters and men were
not merely sleeping, but were finally settled. I cannot help
to say so. I Cannot help making one thinking that for much of the tranquillity which now pre-
ah fle rsem ag multitude
vails in this county,. you are indebted to the judgment, the
activity, the devotion to public duty, and the eminently
conciliatory manners of your Lord-Lieutenant ; and I deem
it right publicly
fur-
ther observation on the subject, which is this—that I fear
some legislative interposition will become indispensable.
You aro aware that a bill has been brought into the Upper
House by Lord St. Leonardo, for the establishment of
Courts of Arbitration. I have often expressed my regret
that there are at present no provisions for arbitration, by
which I do not mean voluntary arbitration, from which I
expect nothing, but compulsory ,arbitration, the mode of
proceeding in which might be suggested. This, however,
is not the place to offer any such suggestions. I will only
venture to add for the consideration of those among you who
can make your voices heard, that the system of compulsory
arbitration has been recently introduced into our courts
of law, to the immense advantage of every person con-
cerned—to the saving of time, litigation, trouble, and money
to an incalculable extent. Perhaps I should also observe,
that in neighbotring countries the experiment has been
tried of repealing the combination laws, without making
any adequate provision to meet the difficulties which might
have been expected, and the result has been the same as in
this country, even from the very beginning. I fear if I said
more on this subject I should be deviating from that which
is my duty in this place ; and so with these remarks, I will
leave the matter for your consideration, who understand it
infinitely better than I can presume to do."
CAVITIES IN THE DESERT.—Such cavities are not
uncommon amidst the sands, ands ccur in a very arbitrary
manner, independent it would seem of the general laws of
the desert ; nor could I hit on any passable hypothesis to
explain their formation. Their great size secures thorn
against filling up ; the pit in which we passed that night
could not have measured much less than a quarter of a mile
at its upper diameter, from rim to rim, and its depth was

nature from time to time in these very wastes, and hollowed
with an exactness of circular form truly surprising. I met
them alike in the Nefood and Dahna, in the northern and
southern desert ; the phenomenon belongs to the vast
aggregation of sand, and to any particular wind, or meteo-
rological phase of a local nature. The parallel waves of the
desert are also the same everywhere, on condition of a suffi-
cient depth in the sand itself.—Palgrare's Central and

MANSLAUGHTER OF A POACHER BY A POLICEMAN.
—At the Nottingham assizes, on Saturday, Samuel
Stansfield, a police-constable, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of James Skidmore, a poacher, on the Ist Sept.,
at Blidsworth. Richard Peet said ho was out with deceased
on the night of the Ist Sept. ; two other men were in the

was the deceased who had been crying out, and that his
face was covered with blood. Skidmore, upon reaching
prisoner's house, appeared in great pain, and said Stans-
field had hurt him very bad. Mr. Scott, a surgeon living
at Mansfield, said he was sent fur to the lock-up on the
3d September last, to visit a prisoner named Skidmore. He
found a wound on his left temple, caused by a heavy in-
strument. From the shoulder to the head there was con-
siderable swelling, and a number of marks. The marks
wore on the outer part of the arm, and were such as could
only have been produced by great violence. The cause of
death was inflammation, caused by the wounds. Witness
examined the prisoner, but found no marks upon him. The
jury found the prisoner guilty, with a recommendation to
mercy, and he was sentenced to four months' imprison-
ment.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LEICESTER.
—A shocking case of stabbing with intent to murder, and
subsequent attempted suicide of the culprit, has just oc-
curred in Leicester. A man named John Bigley, a labourer,
had for some years been lodging with Thos. Halman and
his wife, in Vauxhall-street, which resulted in too close an
intimacy between the wife and the lodger. The husband
discovered this, and discharged the lodger, who, however,
continued a surreptitious relationship with the wife, who
appears not to have objected to his attentions. On Satur-
day night she went to seek Bigley, and found him at the
Horse and Jockey public-house, in the North. She de-
livered some clean linen to him and left the inn, and was
followed by Bigley up the street ; and when she was about
to turn down a lane leading to her home he rushed upon
her from behind and dealt her a severe blow on the left
shoulder with a sharp instrument, inflicting severe injury.
Mrs. Hillman exclaimed, " You have killed me," and Big.
ley replied, " I meant to do it," and advised her to make the
best of her way home, and lot him know how she was in
the morning. She got home with considerable difficulty,
and a surgeon was sent for, and the police informed of what
had occurred. On the following morning Bigley was found
on the Dane Hills with his throat cut severely, but not suf-
ficiently so to cause death. He was conveyed to the in-
firmary, whore he remains under treatment.

A CENTENARIAN VOTER.—James Hartnell, 103
years old, voted at the Bridgewater election. He gave hid
vote in a distinct and tolerably loud voice.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.--
Dangerous Diseases.—How many life-long maladies spring
from neglecting trifling symptoms : the pimple, readily
curable in the nursery, becomes, through carelessness, the
irremediable torment of after life. With a knowledge ot
the curative powers of Holloway's ointment and pills, those'
who fail to use them for extirpating the first seeds of here-s
ditary ailments will have to bear the punishment resultin
from their folly. Holloway's remedies will remove al
eruptions of the skin, scorbutic diseases, and scrofila, and
heal every description of ulcer, sore, wound, or abrasion.
By the employment of Holloway's excellent, speedy, awl
safe medicaments,' much pain and immense expense will bea
saved, and a great benefit conferred on the present NA
succeeding generation.

Mr. Coxwell has received from Glasgow his bal-
loon Research, as it was forwarded from Islay. It came
out of the car piecemeal, a total wreck, having been cut
and torn into at fewest 200 pieces. The network was sliced
down with knives, the TaTeR cut out of each end.
