DUBLIN- ELECTION COMMITTEE

, The Committee assembled on Saturday at a few minutes
before 12 o'clock.
Mr. MAxwtu (the Chairman) requested the Counsel on
both sides to confine their observations on legal points as much
RS possible, so as not to occupy the time unnecessarily. The
Committee were now pretty well conversant with the bearings
of law on the several classes that came under discussion.
Mr. JOY assured the Committee that on the part of the sit-
ting members there did not exist any disposition to occupy un-
necessarily the time of the Committee, but in the course of
the scrutiny some new legal points might arise which would
call for the obsesvations of Counsel.
The scrutiny was then proceeded with; one vote, that of
John Dunn, was struck off Mr. O'Connell's poll, by consent
of his agent.
The votes of Edward O'Neill, No. 82, Thomes-street, and
of Christopher Fitzgerald, No. 14, Fishamble-street, were ob-•
jeoted to by the petitioners, but on argument, were decided to
be good.
• The vote of William Nowlan, No. 40, Francis-street, was
struck off the poll. This closed the class of objections take Vii.
by the petitioners, on the ground of non-payment of 0, pipe
Water Tax.
The next list gone into was that of person'; objected - to for
change of residence between the peripd bi the registry and the
election.
William Brien, of Ropers-rest, was proposed to be struck off
on this ground, and Peer argument, it was decided that the vote
was a bad one, •
A like °l'.7,jection was taken to the rote of Henry Kennedy,
r9s"...rs-court, and after Counsel for the petitioners read the
evidence applicable to this case, it was struck off by consent
of the sitting Members. .
' 4 .
Mr. O'Connell tnttien ,
to strike off the name of James Egan ; to this he presumed
there could be no objection, this being one of those names
whom the agents for the petitioners had admitted the premises
out of which they voted was in arrears.
Mr. WRANGHAM—There is no such person as Egan ; the
name objected to in our list is that of Evan, quite a distinct
and different name.
Mr. JOT contended that there could not be the least doubt
that the parties in both instances were the same, and hoped
that the Committee would not upon so trifling an objection
debar them from removing a name which their own agent ad-
mitted to be indefensible.
Mr. WRANGIIAM denied that the Committee could enter at
all on the question. The Committee then withdrew, And on
their return the Clerk read their decision,—" That the name
delivered to the petitioners in the list of objected votes being
that of Evan, it was not competent for the Committee, under
the limitation expressed in the 42d Geo. 111., to enter on the
question of the vote of James Egan."
Mr. G. F. YOUNG—Looking at the 'number of cases which
have been disposed of by us, and those which remain to be
argued, unless Counsel will adopt some different mode from
that which has been already carried on, it dOes not appear to
the Committee that their sittings will terminate with the
Session.
Major VIVIAN (another of the Committee) expressed a
similar opinion.
Mr. WRANGIIAM could assure the Committee the fault did
not rest on their side, as they were
,most anxious to have an
end of the investigation.
Mr. JOY—I can equally say the fault rests not with us. Our
object is not procrastination—we are sincerely anxious this f
matter should be at an end. Mr. O'Connell has given instrue.
tions that the moment it appeared his majority could not
maintained, at once to abandon the matter. It would Irave
been almost of advantage if the decision of the Coatraittee
shall be ultimately against him, that such decision. hP.cl been
arrived at before the recess, as arrangements might U.! made
to enable him to take his scat for some other place 5.)3, the time
when Parliament will resume its sittings; but bei..ieving, as he
did, that the majority could be retained (indee,A, if it could be
deemed of any weight on the occasion, hem.,;dea wager with
his friend on the point), he felt they were bound to continue.
Mr. Joy then objected to the vote ofa. person named Thwaites,
it being admitted by the agents for the petitioners, that the
premises out of which he voter' were in arrear at the time of
the election.
Mr. WRANGHAM contended that unless it could be shown
for whom this party had voted, which could only be determined
by a reference to tine poll-books, and the Committee having
already decided, that these could not be read in evidence, un-
less where they had been produced on each individual case
before the Commissioners in Dublin, this name could not be
removed.
A vast deal of discussion ensued upon this question,
Mr. JOY arguing that the poll-books were in every instance
, before the Commissioners, else how could they have known
for whom the parties voted.
The Committee withdrew, and at their return the Clerk
read their decision :—" That the Committed-oee no reason
for departing from the resolution made on _the__lffth
Tti •k a.. a.- vote the poll-book cannot be ad-
mitted in e%idence unless in the particular case where it shall
have been before the Commissioners in Dublin."
Mr. joy _The course we will pursue on Monday will be
this—we shall present the name of a voter, and show from the
admitted sheet evidence conclusive to remove the name, and
will then call on the Committee to strike off such from the
poll-book.
The decision in the above case vitally affects Mr. O'Con-
nell's seat, as in the event of the Committee's not allowing
the poll-hook to be produced, a number of votes will be struck
off; it is thought almost sufficient to preclude him from retain-
ing his seat.
Adjourned at six o'clock to twelve this morning.

SALE OF `'VINES.—On the 14th mid 15th of
March a great sale of the wines of the Duke of Nassau took
place at the Castle of Eberbach, which yielded 231,905 florins
(about 23,0001.) At this sale, which was only made in or-
der to allow the wines of the last year and the weeding
years to be placed in the cellars of the Duke—wines of the
most exquisite quality of growths, from 1706 to Is3l were ex-
hibited. The very old wines were sold at a price compara-
tively low, but those of a more recent growth sold very dear.
A demi piece of the wine Steinberger, of the growth of 1822,
was sold for the exorbitant price of 6,135 florins, which makes
each bottle, on the spot, cost 10 or 12 florins. The Elector
of Hesse was the purchaser.—Dutch Paper.
`TIDE versus TYING.--A few days ago the marriage
ceremony was celebrated in a neighbouring town. The bride-
groom is a highly respectable trader in England, and as his
bride wouned benath the TWeed, it was agreed, and no doubt
wisely, that the parties should meet at a convenient interme-
diate.station on'the banks of the Nith, where the bridegreom
had arranged to meet . them by the Nithsdale.' Two chaises
from a distance,:beaiing a party on the tiptoe of joyousness,
were accordingly in waiting at the shore oil the day and hour
appointed ; but here comes the wintry part of the tale. No--

highway, and a good steed berte''A him, the journey to Annan
was easy, though rapid ; an from thence to Dumfries, easier
still, by reason of the Conveyance. These were the perils and
captivities of the bridegroom, and much may his winsome bride
think of ono who has dared and done so much for her. But
" well that endS well ;" and shortly after the arrival of
the " braw wooer," a clergyman was roused from his slumbers,
who tied the knot firm and fast ; and after a bumper of some-
thing to do the heart good, away rattled the carriage wheels,
and a right merry honeymoon and voyage in life we wish the
happy pair.—Dumfries Courier.

MINING PROSPECTS.—Never within rec011ec...401,,.
was there displayed such activity in mining as exists iv the
present day ; nor:do we think there ever were en man profit-
able works going on in proportion to the wlfole in operation.
Our immediate neighlnurhood has alr-,ady profited gi eatly,
and gives promise of even more eY:rensive success. To the
number of ro;.nes we have had occasion to mention in the last
18 mort',s, as renewed with the aid of more energy, larger
f tads, and the advantage of modern machinery, we have now
to add that of Wheal West Hooe, whose lodes of silver lead,
already in work, are supposed to possess peculiar claims to the
expectation of most profitable returns.—Devonport Telegrah.
The Glasgow steam-packet left the River on Thurs-
day, for Lisbon, and afterwards for Spain. Mr. Henry Ba-
ring (whose health seems in a most shattered condition), Mrs.
Baring, and two of their sons, Lord William Hervey, Mr.
John Macdonnel, and Mr. Walter Hall, were passengers on
board the Glasgow. Mr. Baring encounters the voyage in
the hope that sea air and saline breezes may invigorate his
health and strength. Mr. Hall and Mr. Macdonnel are bound
for Almeria, in Spain, on a geological and mineralogical ex-
pedition.
Nothing can exceed the punishment of the convicts

in Norfolk Island, from Which it is impossible they can escape.
They am obliged not only to work chained together, but sleep
also in chains. They are employed chiefly in making roads,
exposed to the gaze of travellers, without being suffered to
speak. Their diet is of the most meagre sort,
consisting of
bread and water, and occasionally gruel, thus dragging .on a
miserable existence without being commiserated, and without
the consolation .of hope. Several persons conv,ieted of
forgery, and many of the swell mob, are among these

FALMOUTH.-SHIPWRECK.

On Sunday evening, about !ial-past nine o'clock, it came
on to blow a heavy gale from the South-east, which in-
creased until about midnight, when it blew with tremendous
variance. The brig Traveller, of Aberdeen, about Isj
tons burthen, from St. Domingo, with a valuable cargo of
coffee, cotton, tobacco, and logwood, was riding in Carrick
roads by a chain cable, which parted ; a bower cable was
immediately let go, but was not sufficient to prevent blr
driving on the rocks near Trefusis Point, The captain wet
on shore, and the crew finding it impossible to tiave the
vessel, took to the boats and landed at Falmouth pier. The
vessel soon went to pieces, and early oa the following
morning vestiges of the vessel and cat'l7a wene strewed
along the shore. At the height of tl'.e gale two packets,
the Seagull from. the West la‘_,Pies, iiad the Espoir
from Lisbon, notwithstanding tl',e rain completely concealed
the land, were enabled b the light-house lately eroetud
at the entrance of toe harbour, to rim in tb the
anchorage ground without the slightest dlrtieu4s the light
being a revolving one, and not to be mistaken Fri- any ether.
The Orwell, an outward,bouncl East I,P,Cliaman, about
1,500 tons, had been riding for several days about two
miles outside the harbour, and it is It notable proof of the
value of that anchorage that she Lode out the gale without
sustaining the slightest injury; a south-east gale being the
worst to which she could: have been exposed. A brig,
called the Clugas, of
guernsey, bound to Pernambuco,
which had been iyir:,g
Monday morrkig, near the Orwell, had disappeared on
and hitherto no intelligence of her has
reached us but it is stipPOsed that she got' under Weigh-and
stood Po the eastward. • In the course of the night the
‘sir.a shifted to the opposite point, and, without tuly abate-
ment of its fury, blew all the following day from the north-
west. All the other ships in Carrick roads and, in the har-
bour escaped without damage, but several boats were driven
ashore and knocked to pieces. A part of the bottom of
the Traveller, with which some portion of the cargo is
supposed to remain, being sunk near the shore at Trefuiis,
great exertions are being made to weigh it, but hitherto
unsuccessfully. The schooners Lavinia, Temkin master,
and Killegretv, Noye master, tf this port, and Ceres, of
Padstow, went on shore, btrl without sustaining material
damage. Several small craft belonging, to the port have
ben

me gate; IVITIISV73`ITIg7
in the Pier, broke two chain cables and two warp's, also
struck heavily on the ground ; the extent of the darnggo
she has received is considered slight. The brig Minerva,
and schooner Ann and. William, both of St. Ives, also the
schooner Friendship, of Swansea, have been driven on, store
at Restronguet, but they were expected to be got c.,IF w.th-
out receiving much damage. The barque Harvest Home,
Thompson master, of Newcastle, was blown °ye..• at the
same place, from the effects of the gale, and hits, rece'v !d
Such considerable damage, that it will oblige her to underg
extensive repairs.—Devonport Telegraph.
