DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

At three o'clock, (yesterday) on Baxter's vote, by, the
decision of the Committee, Mr. O'Connell was again in a
majority of twelve over one of the petitioners.
Mr. Wrangham then proceeded to strike off votes
given for Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Ruthven, and at half-
past four o'clock, when the Committee adjourned, succeeded
in getting rid of nine such votes, thus reducing the majority
of Mr. O'Connell to three.
The Committee then adjourned until ten o'clock on Sa-
turday morning.

MARRIAGE ACT FORESTALLED.—The Fal-
mouth Post (Jamaica), of February 17, informs us that, with-
out waiting for the passing of their Marriage Bill, " two Dis-
senters have been united in holy matrimony by the Clergy of
their own Church." This is hasty work, but no doubt the in-
terested parties were tired of " single blessedness," and specu-
lated upon Lord John Russell making his Act retrospective.
Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney s six years'
period of command expired in 1834 ; it is understood he will
be relieved in the autumn, and that succeeding General Officers
will be selected from those who are not Colonels of regiments,
agreeably to the recommendation of Parliament.
Colonel Shaw Kennedy has left Dublin on a tour
of inspection to Munster. All efficient officers at present in
the Constabulary will be continued under the new Act.
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LICHFIELD AND
COVENTRY.—HMiTINGS, MARCH 31.—Died at his residence
here, in the Crescent, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Lord
Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry.
Dr. Sandes, one of the Senior Fellows of Trinity
College, Dublin, is to be appointed the new Bishop of Clon-
fe rt. He has always been a most consistent Liberal, and is a
man of great learning and piety.
We are glad to hear that there is a very considera-
ble increase of the Quarter's Revenue, to the sth of next
month, over that of the corresponding quarter for last year.
The Revenue for the whole of last year will turn out to be of
much greater amount than that of the preceding year.
The new Reform Club, which is to consist of 1,500
members, at an annual subscription of five guineas each, has
contracted with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, for
the house lately occupied in Pall-mall, by Lady Dysart, which
it has taken for three years, next to the Conservative Club-
house, at the east side. It will require much repair ; it is
narrow in front, but of considerable depth, with a large picture
gallery in the rear, which can be easily converted into a spa-
cious club-room.
ORDNANCE REDUCTIONS.—The Paymaster's
branch of the Ordnance Department, Dublin, is to be reduced,
and the Army Pay branch of the Vice-Treasurer's Office, will
be affected by the new arrangements in the Paymaster-Gene-
ral's Office. It at present costs 1,8001. divided among three
clerks.
General Lord Hill will not hold a levee at his office
in the Horse Guards till after the Easter recess.
The rumour in circulation that IVIr. Robert Steuart
one of the Lords of the Treasury, is about to vacate his seat
for the Haddington Burghs, by accepting another place under
Government, is entirely without foundation. There never
were the slightest grounds for it. It has even been reported
that Mr.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S.

In the early part of yesterday afternoon Brother to Nell Gwynne
was in favour, 2 to 1 having been laid upon him for the Riddles-
worth, and 2,400 to 400 taken about him for the Derby. To-
wards the close, however,, things took a turn the other way, 6to 4
being snapped at, and 6to 1 offered without any takers. The en-
tire interest of the afternoon's betting centred in this horse, the
prices quoted on the Portland Handicap being merely nominal.

STEEPLE CHASE IN FRANCE.
A Steeple Chase, between Baron Paul Sannegon's bay
horse by Cleveland and Count Cornelissen's Mazeppa, both
ridden by gentlemen, came off on Saturday at the Croix de
Berny. The competitors ran the two first miles close together,
taking all their leaps in equally good style. Mazeppa, how-
ever, was very hard held, and this, by fatiguing his rider, gave
his opponent considerable advantage in the end. In fact, from
his impetuosity on crossing the Orleans road he fell in the
ditch, and gave his rider so severe a shock that it was some
time before he was sufficiently recovered to mount again. A
great many spectators assembled at a given point to see the
horses take a rasping leap over a very high fence preceded by
a yawning ditch. Cleveland bounded over all at one spring ;
but, unfortunately, on the other side, owing to the slipperiness
of the ground from the rain that had fallen, went headlong
into a small rivulet. Still he had so far the advance of Ma-
zeppa that he arrived first at the winning-post. Some of the
backers of Mazeppa maintained, notwithstarkling, that the stakes
were due to him, as Cleveland's rider, who had fallen under
his horse in the river, had been helped out by the bystanders.
But Count Cornelissen declined availing himself of the objec-
tion, and at once admitted that Mazeppa was fairly beaten.
The weather was very unfavourable, but a great number of
persons were assembled to witness the match, and among them
many ladies in carriages.
