before the Commissioners of the above Court by Mr. G.
""ftgloY, for 31. 10s., the amount due to him for seven days
canvassing the electors prior to the election. It appeared
thecialmant had made several applications for the amount
Itt the office of Mr. Hutcheson without success, and that
e_r• Bishop, the agent of Mr. Hutcheson, ultimately re-
'gsed to recognise or pay the demand. The claimant
oduced Mr. J. J. Kelly, landlord of the Ship and
lack Horse, High-street, Shadwell, who proved the
ring of the complainant, and who positively stated that
Le had the authority of Mr. Hutcheson and Mr.
'kpltens, the chairman of his central committee, to
qapley such persons as he thought were well ac-
ptainted with the neighbourhood and localities of
G* Shadwell, St. John, Wapping, and St.
)3,,ge-in-the-East, and that he consequently hired Mr.
gley, considering him to be an active man as a canvasser.
blr.
Kelly produced documents which completely satis-
fied the Commissioners that the claimant was entitled to
re amount claimed, and 4igned an order accordingly
Av't immediate payment. Other decisions of a similar
Ileseription had been tried during the week in the
same Court, and it is said that Mr. Hutcheson has al-
'my paid upwards of 8,000/. for the honour of being a
-Itndidate and without the honour of a seat in Par-
Zile workmen employed in removing the houses

Ves to six, as a young man named Thomas Anderson
28 proceeding to his employment at Millbank, he ob-
-"lred the body of a female, apparently about 28 years of
:re, lying face downwards in the mud near the shore,
close to Johnson's stone-wharf, Millbank. She is about
ILe feet aix inches high, with sandy hair, and had on a
talc' cotton gown and black apron, but neither bonnet,
)111v1, nor shoes. • He procured assistance and had the
conveyed to the workhouse in Dean-street, West-
, itinater.
On Friday morning.a man employed in cleaning
the drains outside the prison wall at Vilvorde, Belgium,
:48 overpowered by the foul air, and fell in; his father
brother hastened to his succour, and met with the
op ill fate; and a fourth man, going down after the
uersovas suffocated. A man who witnessed the acci-
wept, Was courageous and powerful enough to extricate
four from the ditch; but two were quite dead, and a

„jigs, MAJESTY'S ARABIAN PONIES.—Great
rficulty has been experienced in rendering passably
forwarded
the pair of beautiful Arabian ponies which were
P_lwarded to her Majesty last year as a present from the
'tia!aitin of Muscat. Indeed the Queen has never yet
the behind them, although some of the members of
t"oe Royal household have frequently driven them in az-
'apanying, her Majesty in her drives in Windsor Great
ar•
k. They have hitherto been pretty quiet in harness,
re in driving them great care and prudence were
(Iltired to be observed from their well-known vicioas
tils°Pensities. On the afternoon of Friday last, as they
th.% being driven in one of the Royal phaetons from
the dews in Sheet-street, Windsor, to the Castle, for
ofejurpose of Lord Alfred Paget taking an airing, one
nern became exceedingly restive, and during a violent
kicking, fit, he got one of his legs over the pole, and
„,
broke it in two ; and before he could be quieted he
floc
the other hind leg over the splinter-bar, where it was
entangled between the spokes of the wheel. His leg,
however was extricated before he had done himself very
,
riousinjury, and he was taken back to the stables.
der Majesty has since commanded that neither of the
krabian ponies are ever again to be driven in harness ;
Vince it is very clear that, notwithstanding the greatpains
Which have been bestowed in training them, by her Ma-
Jest 's grooms to make them tractable, there are no
hopes,now, of ever rendering them quiet in harness.
