TUB CHOLERA AT OXFORD.—The ekolera, we are happy
to say, seems to have taken its final leave of Oxford.
During last week there has been but one now case and
one death. The medical staff will be disbanded forth-
with. The expenses of this disease to the citizens of
Oxford will, it is thought, be upwards of 2,0001.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—
On Saturday, between the hours of eleven and twelve,
while a man named George Wright, carpenter, was en-
gaged in fitting a circular piece of timber to one of the
windows of the Victoria Tower, his foot slipped, and he
was precipitated from a height of eighty-four feet, falling
upon a large iron beam.
Tug BLOCICADE.—The letters from Odessa mention
that several ships were loading linseed in the Black Sea,
thus indicating the continued absence of an effective
blockade. In the London market the disbelief in any
complete exclusion of Russian produce from that region
is such, that two cargoes now loading at Kertch, on the
Sea of Azoff, have just been sold for arrival.
FROM M ELECTION.— A correspondent writes that a
petition is about to be presented, on the part of Mr.
Donald Nichol!, against the return of Viscount Dun-
garvon for the borough of Frome, on the ground of car-
taiia acts of bribery and intimidation alleged to have been
committed.
DEATH OF MR. H. STUART, M.P. FOR BEDFORD.—
We have the melancholy task of announcing the death
of Mr. Stuart, one of the members for the borough of
Bedford, which took place very suddenly on Wednesday
night. We are informed that on that evening he at-
tended the Freemasons' Lodge at Bedford, which was
named after him, and left at his usual time for his resi-
dence. When he was in the act of alighting from his
carriage he was seized with a convulsive fit, and died in
10 minutes after he was carried into the house. He had
for some time past been subject to fits of that nature,
and had been under medical treatment. Mr. H. Stuart,
who was born in 1804, was grandson of the third Earl
of Bute, being the second son of the late Archbishop
Stuart, of .Armagh, and Sophia, granddaughter of the
celebrated William Penn. He was first returned for the
borough of Bedford in the Cuneervative interest in 1837,
but was unseated on petition, and Mr. Samuel Crawley
took the seat until 1841, when, after a close contest,
Mr. Stuart was again returned. At the subsequent ge-
neral election he was returned, with Sir Harry Verney,
his old colleague, Captain Polhill being rejected ; and at
the last general election he was again returned, with
Mr. Samuel Whitbread, Mr. Chisholm Anstey being the
Unsuccessful candidate.—Bedford Times.
