M. Theirs, the late Prime Minister of France, and
who has acquired so much reputation by his " History of
the Revolution," is now engaged upon a history of the
Council of Ten, which so long governed Venice, and has
been to the city itself to search for vouchers.—Frankfort
Journal.

We copy the following salutary precautions from a
Praincial Journal :—" Never enter a sick room in a state
of perspiration, as the moment you become cool your pores
absorb. Do not approach contagious diseases with an
empty stomach, nor sit between the sick and the fire, because
the heat attracts the thin vapour."
The Duke of Buccleuch having commissioned
Campbell, the sculptor, to execute a statue of the Duke of
Wellington, larger than the life, that artist is now at Wei-
mer, completing his studies for that purpose.
The foolish paragraph copied by some of our Morn-
ing Contemporaries from a Lincolnshire Paper relating to
Mr. Tennyson d'Eyncourt, M.P., for Lambeth, is totally
unfounded, as the Hon. Member has been since the close
of the session, and still is, staying at his seat in Lincolnshire.
Cornet Anson, of the Royal Horse Guards, left
town yesterday, for the seat of his father, Sir William
Grundisburgh Hall, Suffolk. Anson,

I. There is a clear gain of eight votes to the Liberal
portion of the Town Council, thereby reducing the Tory
factious majority of thirteen non-elected Aldermen to five,
awl this, minus one Town Councillor of the same stamp,
who has retired, leaves a majority of four, giving them the
benefit of all the trimmers. Next year the Liberals will
have a majority.
2. It is cheering to see that in the two wards returning
nine Councillors, and having, consequently, the largest
number of votes, Bristol ward, where three Tories went
rut, and only one could creep in again. Clifton ward,
where the Liberals on the last occasion could only return
two out of nine, have now returned two out of three.
Again, in Redcliff, where three Liberals and three Tories
were returned last time, they now return both Liberals, by
a majority of fifty votes.
3. It is gratifying, and will tend much to strengthen the
Ministry in their liberal course, to see that out of eight of
the new Liberal Charities' trustees, who were candidates,
seven have been returned, thereby showing the approval of
the citizens of this Act of the Ministry ; whilst the only
one of the Tory trustees who presented himself to the
notice of the electors wus rejected.
These are a few of the gratifying proofs of re-action in
Bristol ! Glorious re-action ! May it gather strength
and force ! And then let Sir Richard Rawlinson Vyvyan,
Bart., make his peace with Bristol, for his hour is well
nigh come.

EXETER, Nov. 3.
The municipal elections for Exeter have terminated in
favour of the Liberal party. The returns from Dartmouth
show that the Liberals have entirely prevailed in that bo-
rough. In Totness three Reformers have been returned to
one Tory.

OXFORD, Nov. 2.

At the conclusion of the election the Mayor, Mr.-W. H.
Butler, published a placard, given the following naiies of
the Town Councillors :

Mr. William Taman (R), 165.

BEccLEs.—The struggle was severe. Three Reformers
were elected and one Tory. The council now consists of
four Tories and twelve Reformers.
PRESTON.—The election of councillors for the different
wards of this borough excited a very considerable degree
of interest. The wards were strongly contested, and the
town on Monday and yesterday presented all the appear-
ance of a Parliamentary election. Of the twelve candi-
dates returned, seven are Conservatives.—Manchester
Guardian of Wednesday.
WIGAN.—The result of the municipal election here is,
that six Reformers and four Tories have been returned.
The councillors of the borough arc now twenty-four Re-
formers and six Tories, who, with ten Aldermen, all Refor-
mers, compose the council. The most beastly scenes of
drunkenness have prevailed in the quarters of the Tories,
who have had a number of their voters locked up all night
drinking.—lbid.
MALDON.—Messrg. Fuller, Dawson, Aiken, and Felton,
all Reformers, were re-elected.
STOCKPORT.—In this borough the Tories ventured to
contest only one of the six wards, and the result is that a
Tory (the only one elected last January), and another man
of doubtful politics, have been replaced by two moderate
but honest Reformers.

CAMBRIDGE.—On Tuesday last the election of two indi-
viduals as members of our Town-council for each ward,
took place, to supply the vacancies occasioned according to
the Municipal Act. There was no opposition, and with
but two exceptions the parties compelled to retire were re-
elected.—Cambridge Chronicle.
• PLYMOUTH.—The result of the recent election may be
thus shown—Liberals, 10 ; Tories, .5 ; majority on the
Liberal side, 5 ; making an addition of one on the Li-
beral side in the Council over the former numbers.—Ply-
mouth ,Journal.
KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES, Nov. 4.—The election has
terminated in Surbiton ward by the addition of two mem-
bers to the Reforming party in the Council, namely, John
Dawson and Edward Woods. In Ham ward there was a
failure, owing to the Liberal party not agreeing among
themselves ; but notwithstanding, in the whole number of
24 Town-councillors, 10 only are Tories, and 14 Liberals.

The following results are collected from the various coun-
try papers received yesterday :--
CAMBRIDGE.—No contest ; the Conservatives unani-
mously resolving to leave the corporation another year in
the hands of the Radicals, believing that nothing could pos-
sibly do more good to their cause.

from taking any part in the election.
WARWICK.—The Conservatives contested this borough,
but the Radicals maintained their ground by a small majo-
rity, and matters remain in statu quo.

unsuccessful. The case remains just as it was last year.
LOUTH.—The Radicals succeeded here in re-electing
their men.

three Conservatives, and three Whig-Radicals.
