Dispatch.

'Even with the recollection of The Pilot' pressing on our
thoughts, we feel little hesitation in declaring that Homeward
Bound' is the best of all its author's stories of the sea. The in-
terest never flags ; and the tale progresses at the rate of ten knots
an hour. Captain Truck is as original as Long Tom Coffin. It
is unquestionably the best novel that the_season has produced."—.

LOVE-LETTER SENT TO NAPOLEON—But when
he was in good humour he would amuse himself with the billets douz.
On one occasion, a little perfumed letter, elegantly written, with large
armorial bearings on the seal, attracted his attention, and, ma foi ! it
had the honour to be read all through to the signature. In reading it,
the physiognomy of Napoleon assumed an air of irony, which excited my
curiosity. I avow my indiscretion, and over the shoulder of my honoured
master I read also. I will not tell you the name of the fair writer, and
that is generous on my part, for afterwards her beautiful mouth uttered,
in resentment, a shocking piece of blasphemy. I am assured that on
learning the death of the Emperor, Madame do -- said, drily,
" Mork to bete, snort le vent's." This old proverb, by its forced appli-
cation to circumstance, gained the lady great honour in certain saloons.
If I had had the letter of 181 in my hands, I will not say whether I
might hot have been tempted to have Inserted it in the journals, in form
of a corollary tq the lady's witty feu de mots! But I return to the
peror, who, contrary to his custom, road and reread the letter-. He ap.
peared flattered, but undecided : at last he thrs.ir it into the fire. " Ah,
bah !" said he, laughing, " 4 Mva not an hour to lose;" and it was
cause the Emperor had not an hour to lose that a grudge was cherished

WOODSTOCK.- -
The Committee met this afternoon at half-past Two, the Karl of
Coln in the Chair.
Mr. AUSTIN and Mr..CocanuaN appeared for the petitioner; Mr.
7'k:testi:rats and Mr. RoaErts for the sitting Member.
Mr. AUSTIN, in opening the case, said that at the last general elec.
tion Mr. Paton was returned for Woodstock. A petition was presented
touching that election, and the result was that Mr. Paton accepted the
Chiltern Hundreds; and a new writ was istned. At the election held in
pursuance of that writ, Lord John Churchill and the Marquis of Bland.
ford were candidates, and the result of the poll was a majority of five in
favour of the Marquis of Blandford, who was accordingly returned. The
petition now presented was the ordinary one on such occasions. It con-
tained general allegations as to the mode in which the election was
conducted, and he trusted, considering the position of the parties, that
it would be unnecessary for him to go into the matters of those
general allegations. One thing he had to mention, that the immediate
subject of enquiry would be a scrutiny of the poll. The whole pollable
constituency of Woodstock was about 330, and out of these 315 voted,.
It would be the duty of the Committee to strike off six from the poll
the sitting Member, in order to place Lord John Churchill in a mak
rity of one. As soon as that was done, his learned friends, ifable,ial,
restore the majority of their client, and in this way they must ,i;o:es
until one of the parties should fail ; and whenever that tirnet:rirl,
it would be the duty of the Committee to declare the ultimate stateaf
the poll. The objections were divided into two classes; some were ob_
jections which existed at the time of registration, and others which had
arisen since the registration. With respect to the first head, it was
stated that a considerable number of voters were improperly registered,
inasmuch as there were no lists of those voters such as were required,
under the Reform Act; also, that there were several others who did not
occupy their premises for a sufficient time; that others were not duly
rated; that others did not occupy as owners or tenants ; that others did
not occupy any premises which entitled them to be registered; and that
others were registered for premises which were not of sufficient value.
Since the registration it was alleged that there were many- persons who
had lost their qualification. The list contained other heads which it
was unnecessary for him at present to mention. The lists on the othec
side contained objections of a similar description. He would now prn_
duce the poll books, and should be prepared to go into evidence to..
morrow morning with respect to individual votes.

Mr. Henry North, examine.] by Mr. COCKBURN.—I am the Town_
clerk of Woodstock. I received the poll-books from the Returning..
officer, and have had them ever since. I produce them, and also the
register and the original lists.

Cross-examined.:—They have been examine:l, but I was rrresent
during the examination.

The poll books and register were then put in.
The Committee then adjourned until eleven o'clock to-morrow
morning.
