sentenced to seven years transportation in the year 1818 to
Van Diemen's Land, where he became free and resided some
years, though latterly he had been living in the hush in this
country. la his confession he stated that about thirty years

Colonel Ravenshaw, and met with a woman named Elizabeth
Howell, at Dorchester, Oxon, who was cognisant cf the fact
of his desertion ; suspecting that she intended to betray him,
he, in order to frustrate her purpose, at once felled her with
a stick, and afterwards stabbed her; she died, and he im-
mediately started for London : there was no witness of the
deed. He also confessed that he bad aftards murdered a
man, named John Ilaster, at Norwood. erwPort Philip Patriot,

AN ODORIFEROUS CRITICISM.—We find the fol-
lowing amusing specimen of criticism quoted in the adver-
tisements of a melange of prose and verse, from a fashionable
contemporary :—" A fragrant nosegay of literary blossoms,
in which showy poetry and sober prose, pleasant essays, and
sprigs of sweet-smelliny rhyme, are bound together."

REPRESENTATION OF SALIS-
BURY.
Shortly before six o'clock on Monday evening, a large and
highly respectable party of the electors, nearly 200 in num-
ber, dined together at the Council Chamber, Mr. R. Hetley
in the chair. The dinner, which was provided by Mr. Ro-
gers of the Red Lion, and Mr. Figs of the Three Swans.
was a very excellent one, and the sines were of the best
quality. After the removal of the chth, " Non nails Doinine•'
was finely sung by the musical gentlemen present, who,
during the evening, sang several songs and glees in a very
superior style, and were much applauded.
The usual loyal and occasional :oasts followed, and were
received with due honours. Tin health of the Mayor of
Salisbury was drunk with three antes three. That of the
Bishop and Clergy of the diocese also elicited loud cheering.
Mr Pam, in proposing the heath of Mr. Campbell Wynd-
ham, their senior Member, remarked, that, although they
would very soon be deprived of its services as a representa
tive, he trusted that they should always have him as a
neighbour and friend.—(dheers.)
The Citatiewart then rose, aid remarked that they had
now arrived at the toast of the evening,—the health of Mr.
Chapliu—(Cheers.) He congratulated his brother elector,
on the choice they had that da. made of a representative—
(Cheers.) He had looked foiward with great pleasure to
that day, and he firmly believed that Salisbury bad on that
occasion done the best thing ale had done for a long time,
since he was fully persuaded that Mr. Chaplin would always
feel happy to prom its the best iiterests of the city.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Chaplin's health was received with continued rounds
of cheers, and when he rose :o return thanks, the applause
was long-continued and of the most enthusiastic character.
Silence having at length hem obtained,
Mr. Chaplin re-
marked, that their excellent dminnan bad certainly given
him a good character ; but hi could not have anticipated
that his health would have leen received in such an en-
thusiastic manner. So very hind a reception had left him
without the power to express the intensity a his feelings.—
(Cheers.) He was labouring under a weight of grati-
tude—gratitude for what he had just experienced at their
hands, and gratitude for the treat kindness he had received
from the people of Salisbury at large.—(Cheers.) He felt
proud of the people of Salisbiry. He was proud of their
independence—an independence which, he could not have
anticipated, since he had heard much of the bribery and
corruption, and of the powerful interest brought to bear upon
the poorer votersi n borough towns. He honestly. believed,
however, that on that occasion no such influence had
been exercised.—(Cheers.) As he had said in the morn-
ing, he felt proud at the independence manifested by the
people of Salisbury, all classes having joined together,
irrespective of party, animated by the single desire of
contributing to the general good.—(Cheers.) Voters who
had never voted before had come forward on that occa-
sion; and persons who had never before attended an elee-
tion festival were that evening assembled with them in
that room—thus acting together with a praiseworthy
independence of party considerations.--(Cheers.) They
had sent him as a free and independent man to Parlia-
ment. His time. had hitherto been occupied in private pur-
suits, so that he had not had occasion to seek the favour of
any Government, nor was it very likely that he ever should.
—(Laughter and cheers.) His desire was to merge politics
in good feeling, and a hearty desire to co-operate for the wel-
fare of the town.—(Cheers.) 11. was aware of the responsi-

responsi-
bility he was incurring in taking up a position between the

and he trusted that he should experience ;no
difficulty in securing among them a spirit of
harmony and good will.—(Cheers.) After a few further
remarks, Mr. Chaplin proceeded to say, that he hoped the
example of Salisbury would be a beacon for the guidance of
all the provincial towns in the kingdom.—((;heers.) The
electors of Salisbury had not required from him a pledge;
but he voluntarily pledged himself, determinatelv and sin-
cerely, to exert himself on all occasions in the best 'pos-
sible manner to promote the prosperity of the town.—
(Cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. Chaplin roposed as a toast,
" Prosperity to the city of Salisbury," with three times
three." _ _

The next toast was 1" The Members for the County."
Then followed " The Magistrates for the city," the Chair-
man remarking that all things had been conducted so
quietly of late, that they had not had much to do: still
they were to be thanked for keeping them in such good order.
Mr. T. O. STEVENS returned thanks. He congratulated
the meeting on the gratifying manner in which the pro-
ceedings of that day had passed off, and on the good feeling
which had been manifested by all classes in the city—so that
the interference of the magistrates had been rendered wholly

unnecessary.—(Cheers.) -
Mr. ANDREWS then gave the healths of the gentlemen who
had proposed and seconded the nomination of Mr. Chaplin,
with many thanks to them for the able manner in which
they had performed that duty.—(Cheers.)
The CHAWIMAN (Mr. lletley) returned thanks for
the very kind manner in which they had received the
toast. He assured the company that it was far from
his wish to have taken so prominent a part in the pro-
ceedings of the day. Another gentleman would have pro-
posed Mr. Chaplin, had he not been prevented by a bad cold.
Having put his shoulder to the wheel, however, he (Mr. llet-
ley) was determined not to stop at any point, but to go
through with any duty he might be required to undertake
—(Cheers). He again returned thanks for the kindness
with which the toast had been received.
Mr. FAwcwre returned thanks in an able address, in
which he said that he had never in the whole ceurse of
his life felt more just reason to be proud than of the
part he had taken that day in seconding the nomination of
Mr. Chaplin as their representative. lie felt proud also that
he had been in some measure instrumental in introducing
Mr. Chaplin to their notice, since he knew that that gen-
tleman must prove most acceptable to the city.—(Cheers.)
Free trade was now settled, and all parties concurred
in the opinion that it ought to have a full and fair
trial.—(Cheers.) Mr. Fawcett then pointed out the advan-
tages to be derived by Salisbury from railway extension, as
"flo:lad in

but by the country at large.—(Cheers.) After some further
remarks, Mr. Fawcett concluded by the expression of an earnest
wish that all present might long live to see Mr.m
their representative, and that Mr. Chaplin might for Chaplin
their
cea
years occupy the position in which they had that day P

him.—(Cheers.) -

The health of the Vice-Presidents followed—an honour for
which Mr. W. Blackmore returned thanks.
Mr. T. 0. STEVENS then, in an able address, Proposed_ , as
