FATAL RESULT OF AN ELECTION QUARREL.--
CHELTENHAM, Friday.—The recent election which, as
has already been mentioned in The Sun, excited a groat deal
of party spirit, has, unhappily, been the cause of loss of life
by violence. To-day an inquest has boon held before Mr.
Lovegrove, coroner for Gloucestershire, on the body of
Wm. Lynes, a messenger for Col. Berkeley, who died yes-
terday morning from the effects of a pistol shot wound re-
ceived on the previous night. It appeared from the evidence
adduced before the coroner that on Wednesday night (the
day of the poll for Cheltenham), about 9 o'clock, the de-
ceased was standing in the High-street, Cheltenham, when
a band of music passed playing the tune of "The' Bonnets
of Blue," blue being the colours of the victorious party.
When the band
passed Lynes he shouted, " Hurrah for the
bonnets of yellow,"
yellow being the colour of Mr. Ber-
keley. On this Mr. John Thomas Glass, eon of the parish
clerk of Cheltenham, a supporter of Mr. Schreiber, said
something to Lynes, who called out " Berkeley for ever,"
saying that he had worked hard for Mr. Berkeley. Glass
thereupon drew a four-barrelled revolver from his pocket,
and exclaiming, i" Here's Berkeley for ever' for you,"
fired it at Lynes, who immediately fell on his knees,
exclaiming, " Good God, I'm shot ! I shall die." A crowd
callocted, tho pistol was taken from Glass, and it was found
that three of the four chambers were loaded with powder
and ball. After the occurrence Glass, who had been ob-
served to be in a very excited state all day, seemed sud
denly to become calmer, and assisted in raising Lynes
from the ground. When Lynes said "I'm dying," Glass
seized hold of him and said, " No, no, not so bad as that,
I hope." Lynes was carried to the Cheltenham Dispen-
sary, and on the road exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy
on me. God help my poor wife and family." When he
arrived at the dispensary he fell down, but being carried
to a ward, and his wound looked to by the surgeons, ho
partially recovered. The shot had taken effect in the un-
fortunate man's mouth, and proved fatal. He lingered
until next morning, when ho expired. Glass alleged,
through his attorney, that the affair was an accident, that
he had no intention of shooting Lynes, and only pointed
the pistol at him by way of threat. The inquiry stands
adjourned.

THE NUMBER OF ELECTORS IN THE UNITED KING-
' DOM.—According to the last revised register the number of

Mn. RUSKIN has called his work " Sesame and
Lilies; or, King's Treasuries and Queen's Gardens."
Perhaps (suggests the Saturday Review) a more appropriate
title for such a farrago would have been " Thistles and
Dead Sea Apples ; or, Fools' Paradises and Wise Meu's
Purgatories."

Swift." ,

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
The polling was resumed on Saturday morning at nine
o'clock, tho Vice-Chancellor in person presiding at the
Theatre, and his Pro Vice-Chancellor in the Convocation
House and Writing School.
The supporters of Mr. Hardy again adopted the tactics
of marshalling their forces early, and at 10.30, according to
the return of Mr. Gladstone's committee, they had gained
four on the two days' majority, the numbera at that time
being—

Heatheote
... 1665
Hardy ... ... 952
Gladstone
The next return, at 11.30, emanated from Mr. Hardy's
side, who then gave themselves an advantage of 67 votes,
viz..—

Heathcote
Hardy
Gladstone
Tho gradual advanet!, of tho Conservative candidate
spread rapidly throughout the University and City, and it
being market day the farmers discussed the chances of the

Chancellor of the Exchequer with more feeling than judg-
ment. Mr. Gladstone's returns at 12.45 were of a more re-
assuring character, as the 69 majority was at this period
reduced to 19, the poll standing—
Heathcote 1832
Hardy 1032
Gladstone ... ... 1013
From this time a reaction set in for Mr. Hardy, as at
1.45, according to the returns of his committee, he led by
36, the figures being—

The next statement produced from Mr. Gladstone's side
at 2 p.m., when Heathcote was 1931; Hardy, 1086 ; Glad-
stone, 1068 ; majority 18. And at 2.45 Mr. Hardy's com-
mittee had reduced the advantage to 4, as the following
numbers will show :
