ELECTIONEERING.

At the Carlow hustings a number of Bruen's
tenants drove up in a car, and an attempt was made by
the Bruenites to obtain possession of them. Colonel
Bruen got up on the table, and attempted to address
them, when Mr. J. O'Connell desired Colonel Bruen to
stand down—he did stand down. The electors were
then asked by the Sheriff's Deputy if they were under
any coercion. They replied " no"—and instantly
polled for O'Connell and Yates.
In Tipperary riots have arisen, and collisions with
the police fatal. At Bansha one man was shot dead and
nine badly wounded. -
- A Reform Registration Association has just been
formed at Brighton. This will enable the Association
to know within 16 or 17 the votes of the entire constitu-
ency. A Treasurer and Secretary have been appointed,
and above 100 electors given in their names as members.
Correspondence has appeared in the Cambridge
Chronicle between Lord Cosmo Russell, and Sir A.
Grant. Lord Cosmo totally denies the words imputed
to him by Sir A. Grant, as to exercising constraint upon a
voter, and Sir A. Grant confesses that sheer hearsay was
his only authority.
The following scene took place at a Church in
Cork last Sunday. The Rev. W. Negligan, Curate of the
parish, voted at the late election for the Liberals, in ac-
cordance with his own principles, though in exception
to the bigotted majority of his brethren in the Ministry.
When Mr. Negligan rose to preach, the whole, or nearly
the whole, congregation left the Church uttering cries of
" No Popery."
Captain Dalrymple, the Liberal, has been returned
for the county of Wigtown, in opposition to the most
powerful exertions made by the Tory landlords to bring
in Mr. Blair. Sir Wm. Maxwell has gained nothing by
coercing his tenants, while the party supported by that
long-tried and consistent Liberal the Earl of Stair, who.
leaves his numerous tenants to. vote as. they like, have
acquired a noble victory in a county a1m0.4 purely agri-
cultural.

We have now had returns for all the Counties, Ci-
ties, and Boroughs of Great Britain, with the exception
of the county of Banff, Scotland.

PUBLIC OPINION.,

The Morning Chronicle observes with truth, that as the
present elections show that in England the landowners
have a preponderating influence in Parliament, well-
meaning persons can no longer refuse to admit that if
Ministers had proposed an alteration in the Corn-laws,
they would thereby have handed over the Government
of the country to their opponents. This is the best
apology for the tardy policy of the Whig Cabinet that has
yet been offered. It is not, however, a full and complete
one. Knowing that the Corn-laws must eventually be
repealed, Ministers should have taken the initiative
earlier, and not have permitted themselves to be deterred
from an act of justice by the cacklings of the Tory geese.
They should have borne in mind that a goose is but a
goose after all, notwithstanding the noise it makes.

In a leading article suggested by the elections, it is
stated by the Times that the Tory party have appealed
with success to " the reason of the electoral body."
There is here a wilful perversion of the truth. The
Tories have appealed, not to the reason, but to the
pockets, of a majority of the electors, and we are sorry to
say that their appeal has been far too successful.
From some leading comments that appear in the
Morning Post, it would seem that the Tories are becom-
ing quite shocked at the " insolent use which the Whig-
Radicals are making of her Majesty's name." How long
have Tory nerves been so susceptible ? We think we
can remember a time—and that not long since—when no
abuse was too intemperate to be launched by the Tories
against the Queen. Our Contemporary adds, that he
" asks no praise " for his new-born delicacy of nerve.
This modesty is really very engaging.
We direct the particular attention of our readers
to .Mr. Sidney Smith's admirable " Letter to Lord Stan-
ley," which combines the stern, grave invective of Junius
with the sparkling wit of Voltaire.
The Plymouth Journal asks in discussing the ques-
tion of the new Parliament, not whether Sir Robert Peel

will obtain a working majority, but whether he will rc-
tain one. What are his chances for this ? The present
Ministry have taken up an excellent position for offence ;
they have entrenched themselves in Liberal measures :
they go out on an appeal to the people, and wait till the
people are wiser or stronger than at present. An oppo-
sition based on such principles cannot be despised. The
Tories have the Court against them—a most uncommon
incident for this power-worshipping party. Against
them is ranging the sound intelligence of the middle
classes. Sir Robert, therefore, may go up and lay hold
on his coveted prize, but surely wise men will fear to
follow him.

The Doncaster Gazette, in lamenting-the defeat of
Lords Morpeth and Milton at Yorkshire, assilins it in
common with the Liberal Press, Ist, to the: inattention
paid to our registration; and 2dly, to the strength of the
landed and farming interest, which embraces nearly half
of the Riding constituency, and which took alarm at the
fixed duty proposition.
The Derby Reporter exclaims vehemently against
the Tory corruption and intimidation used at the late
elections; more especially pointing to Derbyshire. The
amount 'no doubt is frightful, and it is better to lose than
to win by such means.
The Pilot asserts, from letters they I--ye seen, that
the Tories are as disappointed with the election results
as the Liberals. The Tories know that constituted as a
Tory Ministry will be—with its discordant principles of
a coercive and conceding Government, and with its con-
flicting interests and followers--it can be nothing but a
union of foes, and a popular reaction must take place.
The moment this weakness is manifest, another dissolu-
tion will leave the party at an immeasurable distance
from that power which the lc aders have been forced by
their subalterns prematurely to grasp.
—" It would be idle to deny," says the Wiltshire In-
dependent, " that the Ministerial measure for modifying
the Corn-law—although it would, inevitably, have con-
ferred an amazing benefit on the great body of the
people—has directly and chiefly tended to the return of
a House of Commons, a large majority of whose members
are strongly opposed to any reduction of those burdens of
which the people complain so loudly and with so much
reason. The solution of the mystery lies in the fact that the
Electors are not the People ; and that the electors, per-
haps to the amount of one-half of their number, are
merely the slaves of those who are now fattening upon
that monopoly which condemns the millions to semi-
starvation. Depend upon it, however, the second Re-
form Bill, if it blossom not so fully as the first, will
nevertheless bear good and substantial fruit. Defeated
though we may be by corruption and by intimidation,
still we have no cause to despair ; if the people are true
to themselves they must be victorious, and that ere many
months expire.

THEATRICAL.
Taglioni took her benefit last night at the Italian

LITERARY.

A writer in the Westminster Review has accused
Sir J. Wilkinson of borrowing most of the illustrations
and letter-press in his " Memoirs and Customs of the
Egytians," from Rossellini's splendid work. This Sir
J. Wilkinson utterly denies.
Madame Laffarge, says the Commerce, is finishing
the writing of her memoirs, which will form four octavo
volumes. A bookseller has bought the copyright.

RUMOURS OF THE D.A.Y.

The late success of Conservative principles in Shrop-
shire will be celebrated by a public festival in Shrews-
bury, to which it is intended to invite the twelve Shrop-
shire apostles, and local Committees are now formed
throughout the county for making the necessary ar-
rangements. The honour of the presence of the Duke
of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel will be requested at
the meeting, which is intended to be held before the as-
sembling of Parliament.
About half a dozen veteran Tory Judges in Great
Britain and Ireland will resign on the accession of Sir
Robert Peel, and their places will be filled up with Bar-
risters of the True Blue and Orange breed. We hope
they will not die of joy before the time.
It is said that some of the old bishops are going
to follow the example, and exhibit to the eyes
of the wondering world something still more rare
than even a dead donkey—a phenomenon which Boz
vows he never, saw. The demand for Whigs is very
great, the rise the Tories boast is in proportion to the
decline of the Whig Ministry.
There is at New York a politician so hot that
his muffins toast every morning by his side while he
reads the newspaper. A gardener has concluded an en-
gagement with him to force cucumbers, in the event of
his not being returned one of the representatives of the
people, a circumstance much looked forward to by poli-
tical economists, as the Senate House will then require
no stoves.

TORYISM versus FREEDOM.

(IMITATED FROM AN 0,.,9 ENGLISH BALLAD.)

The Tory faction is rampant quite
At the thought of putting the Whigs t o flight,
And crushing Reform in open fight,
Which Nobody can deny.

Huzza quoth Peel, the day's our own I
And as Freedom's much too lusty grown,
"We'll soon reduce her to skin and bone,

Which Nobody can deny.

Quoth Lyndhurst, Freedom's an arrant witch,
And has crossed my path through life, for which
I swear I'll never forgive the b—h,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Follett, with phiz of exultation,
I'll soon decide her destination
By an ex officio information,

Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Abinger, if she finds her way
To the Court when? I hold legal sway,
I'll whistle her off to Botany Bay,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Goulburn, I'll try her temper sore,
For I'll squeeze her blood from every pore,
And if she squalls, I'll squeeze the more,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth black-bottle Cardigan, hugely vexed,
She's often my pleasantest thoughts perplexed,
So I'll give her a dozen on Sunday next,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Harding°, frantic quite with passion,
Her Dan-like tail I'll lay the lash on,
Then hang her up in Old Bailey fashion,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth the Times, though often, in other days,
I've set all sail in Freedom's praise,
Yet I'll now discreetly slacken stays,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth the Morning Post, she's a vulgar pest,
For I never yet saw her genteelly drest,
And when that's the case—you may guess the rest!
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Christopher North, with awful mien,
She's as rank a Quack as ever was seen,
So I'll write her down in my Magazine,
Which Nobody can deny.
Quoth Mother Church, with eyes of flame,
I'll send the Jade, o'erwhelmed with shame,
To a Place—which I'm too polite to name !*
Which Nobody can deny.
Presumptuous Scamps ! Despite your boast,
Immortal Freedom, to your cost,
Shall vanquish you yet, and rule the roast,
Which Nobody can deny.

A determined act of suicide was committed dur-
ing the night of Wednesday last, by a fine youth, named Sa-
muel Corbett, aged seventeen years, an apprentice to Mr. 'l'.
Smith, a tinplate worker in B 1 unh ill-row, St. Luke's. The
unfortunate youth had for some time past been accustomed to
sleep upon four chairs in the workshop, and his master had
been in the habit of locking hiss in when he retired to rest.
Upon entering the apartment at about seven o'clock yesterday
morning, the master perceived a quantity of blood on the floor,
and upon approaching the lad's sleeping place, he was hors ified
to find that his head was almost severed from his body, the
neckbone and all the veins and arteries having been completely
divided. A raz,_ir, with which the dreadful deed was accom-
plished, was lying by his side steeped in blood. Mr. Leeson,
the divisional surgeon of police, who was sent for to examine
the body, stated it as his opinion that he had been several
hours dead.
