ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.—It is expected that
Captain Dundzs will be successful at Devizes, unless his op-
ponent should find a means of overcoming the virtue of the
electors—not a difficult matter now, when public spirit is at a
low ebb. At Sudbury :he contest is between Sir John Walsh
and Mr. Bagshaw, and the latter is expected to succeed. The
seat vacant for Haddingtonshire by the death of the Earl of
Dalhousie, will be filled, we believe, by Sir James Hepburn
without opposition.

SLAVERY (IRELAND)._The citizens of Dublin
vie with those of London in exertions to ameliorate the con-
dition of the negroes. A public meeting cf the Hibernihn
Anti-Slavery Scciety was held last Friday at the Rotunda, fi r
the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of
Negro Slavery, as it exists in the British Colonies under th
mask of appenticeship. Resolutions were adopted in confor-
m'ty with the benevolent objects contemplated by those friends
of their species who called the meeting.

ASPIIALTE COMPANIES.—We are authorised to
state, that a patent was obtained by Messrs. Cassell and Sons,
of Mill-Wall, Poplar, in the year 1834, for " a cement or
combination of materials applicable to the purposes for which
carnant, stone, brick, or other similar substances may or can
be uscd"—that the properties and uses of the material pa-
tented, as well as the operations protected by these letters pa-
tent, are, in all respects, the same as those sought to be intro-
duced to public notice by a Company denominated " Claridge's
Patent Asphaltic Company," and others—that Messrs. Cas.
sell have determined to sustain their exclusive rights, and, by
all legal ways and means, to resist every attempt to invade
their patent—and that arrangements are now snaking, in con-
junction with some leading engineers and capitalists, to extend
the operations of the patent by the establishment of a Joint
Stock Company. The lava road laid down by Messrs. Cas-
sell in 1834, at Mill Wall, and at Pimlico in 1835, as also the
flooring of the stables of Messrs. Goding's Brewery, Belvi-
derc-read, Lambeth, and several foot-paths in the neighbour
hood of London, are existing practical specimens of the ma.
tcrial, and of its usefulness, and are conclusive proofs of its
originality and general utility.
