day, none of the sections meeting on that day, the seve-

To-day the .great object of attraction will be the launch
of the ship Hindostan, at the.dock-vardnt Devonport; and
to give greater effect, the tradesmen of the town have come
to a general resolution to close their shops at noon. This
morning, at eight o'clock, the preliminary operation of
biting the ship by wedges was performed before a large
assembly of members. The Ilindostan is a teak-built

meetings, with the exception of the first at York. Some
valuable discussions are anticipated to-day at some of the
sections, the number of papers put down for reading
being very considerable.

GERMANY.
FRANKFORT, JULY 31.—The anticipated -change in
our Ministry is beginning to produce the expected effects
upon the Continent. The last accounts from Italy tell
us that traces of the long-lost secret societies have again
been found in Sardinia and Naples, which have occa-
sioned many arrests upon suspicion. In Germany the
Commissary deputed by the Elector of Cassel tells tke
assembled Estates that the Members have no business to
pronounce censures upon the Government, since the exer-
cise of such a control over the Ministers -would make
them the servants of the Chambers, instead of being the
humble tools of the Crown. Several Members of this
Chamber vindicated the right to express their opinions
of men in office ; but the Commissary seems to have
maintained his point. In Baden, in the same manner, the
Grand Duke, persisting in his right to exclude or admit
such men as are hi the employment of the State from the
Chambers, the latter have been obliged to let the dispute
drop, with a. protest against the validity of the new elec-
tions, In this amiable contest for despotic supremacy it
itioulti be unjust to suppose that the King of Hanover
should remain behind hand. Accordingly. we have not
only a verbose prociatuatil, fixing that his opinion of
the invalidity of the Constitution which he had annihi-
lated must outweigh, in our so imperfectly enlightened
kr, the votes of two Chambers, and the practical
adoption of the said Constitution for four years ; hut
he tells his clamorous subjects (what he certainly
proved) that written Constitutions are but so much
waste paper. The Hanoveriam, however, manifesting a
disposition •to believe that, while cities and provinces
him the fight left to choose representatives, things must
go very hard if they cannot protect themselves, • his Ma-
jesty has been graciously pleased, in the following pithy
proclamation, to undeceive thetas. es well as anybody
else who may be simple enough to think like them, and
to show that if a certain number of troops can in any way
be obtained, willing to obey his orders, there is no diffi-
culty too great no right so racred, but it can be ridden

When these proclamations, • •
joined with insults to the
d
Members of the Chambers, and unceasing persecutions of
the public Press, are the treatment which the Germans
daily meet with from their rulers, in token of the grati-
tude felt by the latter for the unanimity shown in the
menaced I rench invasion last year, it may be very well
for the Sovereigns of Germany to speculate upon a con-
tinued, unchanging submission on the part of their sub-
jects ; hut it is necessary -for foreign PowerS, in their
diplomatic relations, duly to weigh the possibility whether
a country distracted in its interior in this manner can, on
an emergency, be expected to prove of weight in the
balance of power of Europe.

ROXBURGHSIIIRE ELECTION.—Great indeed
must have been the disappointment experienced-by the'
Tories during the polling days at Hawick on account of
no riot having occurred. Gentle reader, only conceive
what a mortification it must have been, after
conveying to Hawick about thirty pairs of hand-
cuffs ! and an ample supply of chains ! ! notwith-
standing the provocation given to the people by
the ruffianly conduct of an infuriated soldiery not
a single pair of them were required !! ! So ashamed
were they of the transactions, that the whole of these or-
naments (certainly more befitting those who sent them,
than those for whom they were sent`, were huddled into
a sack to prevent observation, and reconveyed, as if by
stealth, back to Jedburgh by the mail cart. Does this
throw no additional light upon the conduct of certain
officials upon that memorable occasion?—Kelso Chronicle.
SUICIDE FOR LOVE.—OD Tuesday' evening an
inquest was held at St. Nicholas Southelmham, near Bun-
gay, on view of the body of Priscilla Rodwell, aged
sixteen. The deceased lived with her aunt,
Rumsby, and destroyed herself by swallowing a large
quantity of arsenic mixed with pork lard that had
been laid in the cheese chamber for the destruction
of rats. No motive could be assigned for this
rash action the part of the deceased, other than a dis-
appointment in the attentions of a young man of the
name of Hunt being transferred from herself to an-
other. The deceased. on being first taken ill denied
havingrtaincken
easaedn,y she at but as her agony and
last acknowledged the
fact. Medical aid was called in, but too late to
be of any effect, and she died within twenty-four
hours from the time of taking the poison. After the Coro-
ner had summed up and commented upon the evidence,
the Jury deliberated for some time, and returned a ver
diet of " Felo de se." The Coroner then communicated
the verdict to the parents of the deceased, and made nut
his warrant for the private interment of tha body be-
twoen the hours of nine and twelve at night, pursuant
to the provisions of a recent statute.—Essex Herald.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT FROM WINDOW
CLEANING,—On Monday afternoon a shocking accident
happened to a young woman, named Helen Labern, 19
years -of age, housemaid in the service of Mrs. Wagstaff,
garalavde-sgyreusaild.ei, Pimlico. It appears that she was cleaningng at No. 24, Lower Belgrave-place, Bel-
the first-floor window, when she let go her hold and feil
into the area, a height of nearly 30 feet. The poor girl i
was taken up in an insensible and bleeding state, and
' conveyed to St..Gcorge's Hospital, where she was at-
tended by Mr. Lee, house surgeon of the institution,
when it was found that she had received a severe lacera-
tion
of the right thigh, besides many other severe in-
juries. The poor girl is not expected to survive many
we are happy to say, how-
days. This is another instance of the improper practice
of allowing young females to expose themselves in so
r more than it was expected
dangerous a situation in cleaning windows.
