CARNARVON.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
This borough has this evening (Wednesday) been the scene
of a most disgraceful Tory riot, arising out of the mortifica-
tion and chagrin of Mr. T. Assheton Smith, in being so far
foiled in his attempt to obtain domination within the borough,
in the recent Municipal Election. Prcceedings having heel►
adopted, at the instance of Mr. Smith's agent, against the
liberal Mayor and Aldermen, in the Court of King's Bench,
on the rules against them having been made absolute, the
Tory agents sent a band of music round the town, attended
by a host of the lowest blackguards, among who were mixed
some of Mr. Assheton Smith's political (and by tb,lir conduct
f
we should think personal) representatives. In Tth--square
they came into collision with a body of sailors, and a. slight
conflict ensued, in which the Tories were worsted. In a short
time after, an infuriated band of ruffians, apparently n,. ado
drunk for the occasion, rushed out of the Goat Hotel—t he
Committee-house of Mr. T. Assheton Smith—and his polit,L
cal and legal agents' rendezvous, and made an attack upot6
the residence of Mr. Alderman Lloyd Roberts, and broke the*
windows—the innkeeper was amongst the crowd. This at-
tack was the more cowardly, as Mr. Alderman Roberts wag
in London on professional business, and the mob were directed
from the door of the Goat to go and break his windows. The
brother of Mr. Alderman Roberts, a respectable surgeon„ re-
siding at Bangor, happened to be in town at the time, and,
hearing of the outrage, proceeded to protect his brother'S
wife and infants, and was set on by the ruffians, and treated in
the most brutal manner. The mob then proceeded through
the town, and broke some windows in the Sportsman Hotel,
and also of some respectable reformers' residences. The
agents of Mr. Assheton Smith looked on the devastation with
unconcern, and rather with encouragement. The leaders of
the outrage are all known, but where is the remedy ? In an
appeal to a Tory magistracy !
If the parties are indicted at the Quarter Sessions, the real
Under Sheriff is Mr. Assheton Smith's agent, and he pad's
both Grand and Petit-Juries as he likes ; and it is notorious
that so much corruption prevails in this department, that nu
reformer can have a fair trial.

It ought to be recorded that R. Camurs, Esq., a Tory ma-
gistrate, was in the town entertaining a dinner party, and that
the Tory mob stopped opposite his house and cheered him,
yet that he took no measures to quell the riot. The Mayor of
the borough is also a county magistrate, but he was especially
marked out for Tory vengeance, and consequently had to con-
sult his personal safety. From the malignant disposition ma-
nifested, it is evident that the Tory mob, and their leaders,
would not have stopped at murder. At the time of the mail
leaving, the town is tranquil. A representation of the case
will be made to the Secretary of State for the Home 'De-
partment.

The interest of opening Parliament by the King in
person, bears no comparison to the excitement of a Royal
runaway match, like that which is now charming every fashion-
able coterie in London. " What do you think of the Speech ?"
is a question of no importa compared with " Who is Miss
Smith ?" or, " Hav any new facts from Naples ?" These
are questions easily asked—but they are not as easily answer-
ed. By a reference however to that Oracle of the Fashion-
able `world, the Court Journal of this day, those who are
curious in the matter will become considerably enlightened as
well as amused.

CAPTAIN PEC II EL L.—A numerous meeting of the
friends of Captain Pechell was held on Monday evening at
Brighton, Mr. P. Hewitt in the chair.
The mischief done by the tempestuous gale on
Saturday se'nnight throughout various parts of the country was
very great. The pediment which surmounted the west front
of the mansion at Duncombe Park was blown down, and fell
on the roof of the house, and through the ceiling into the
great hall, having done considerable damage to the building•
Providentially no person was hurt, though some members of
the family had a narrow escape.
