FROM THU EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—Next to London, no individual election con-
test was regarded with an interest so intense as was that
of Nottingham; and in no case has the result-been
received with more unequivocal and general de-
light by honest men of all parties. " Walter has
been kicked out from Nottingham !" was the form
in which Mr. Walter's defeat was generally an-
nounced.
Never did a defeated candidate meet with
less sympathy under disappointment and discomfiture.
Even the Tories-4onest, though, as we think, mis-
taken—regarded Mr. Walter as a Protean politician s
who, without fixed principles of his own, endeavoured
to obtain a notoriety flattering to his vanity, by affect-
ing to adopt, as the basis. of his political creed and the
~Pf. -.the various.
creeds field by others. iortly found himself aban-
doned by the dupes he had cajoled, and to purchase
whose " sweet voices " and physical aid at the last
election, by which he was admitted to sit in the House
of Commons a few short weeks, sums must have been
lavished more than equal to the Times' profits for
a year. Where is he now ? Deserted and de-
spised by the very lowest of the mob which
had but a few weeks before followed him with
acclamations ; and rejected with contempt by the re-
spectable portion of the Tories, who were disgusted
and alarmed by his open and undisguised fraternization
with the Chartist leaders. Mr. Walter affords another
instance of the instability of all hopes of permanent
public support which are not founded on the basis of
consistency. The Times puffed Mr. Walter as the
greatest philanthropist of the age—before whom the
new Poor-law and the Whig Ministry were to fall : its
columns were filled day after day in proclamations
of the wonders which Mr. Walter's return for
Nottingham Was to achieve ; it was to have on parochial
and also on national politics a like influence, equal to that
which Mr. O'Connell's return for Clare had on Catholic
Emancipation ; and a vast deal more of similarly inflated
nonsense. Mr. Walter, mounted on his humanity hobby-
horse, was paraded before the public, attended by a flou-
rish of trumpets supplied by his own Journal, until
the humbug became too disgusting to be tolerated,
and both were hissed off by the very audience which had
been hired to applaud. The political charlatan has been
pelted from the stage ; and the unprincipled organ of
an auxiliary in practising his deceptions, shares . the
ignominy of his exploded pretensions and justly-merited
defeat. Mr. Walter's political history at Nottingham
may be comprised in one-11rie : •
" He went up like a rocket and- fell—like its stick."

COURIER—The first blow—half the battle—has
been struck in the City of London with forcible em-
phasis, and the most stunning effect. The Ministerial
faction, despite its most desperate efforts, has been
prostrated in the very citadel of its strength. The re-
sult of the City Election, upon which the Mi-
nisterialists calculated with such confidence, and
to which they professed their willingness to refer, as
the arbitrium of their fate, has, it will be' seen,
amply realised the anticipations we had formed
regarding it. The representation of the first commercial
city in the world is no longer, thanks to the manly spirit
and enlightened zeal of the citizens, in the exclusive
possession of the Whig party ; two seats haVe been
wrested from them in the very emporium of commerce ;
and those to whose opinions they appealed with the most
unbounded confidence, have pronounced a sentence of
strong, decisive, and unequivocal condemnation against
their crude, hasty, and ill-digested scheme of com-
mercial revolution. Sir Matthew. Wood's per-
sonal claims, founded on long and dose intimacy with a
large body of the electors, alone-saved him &OM sharing
the fate of his two late, but now discarded Colleaglies.
Lord John RuSsell's-escape from defeat was ahnOst mira-
culous ; and that he was not left at the very bottom of
the poll is attributable to the prestige of his name and the
influence of his offiee : stript of these, and solely depend-
ing for support on the strength of his principles; or the
degree of favour in which they are held by the great
body of the electors, he had been sent to keep company
with Messrs. Crawford and Mattison. We should be
curious to learn how the Ministerial faction now con-
trives to console itself, the tribunal selected by them-
selves as best qualified to pronounce an opinion on the
character of their free-trade measures having decided
against them. What now becomes of the assurances of
success with which their blustering and ill-informed

admit neither of misinterpretation nor cavil.

------- --------
STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANcuEsTlin.---The commencement of the elections
in this neighbourhood has caused- a considerable inter-
ruption to business, and the market yesterday was a very
broken one ; still there was a decidedly better demand
for yarn, and most descriptions of common water twist
commanded rather better prices than last week. In goods
the improvement was not quite so manifest, but still there
was a better feeling than for some weeks past, and prices
were decidedly firm.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 28.
—We have had a better market to-day, and something
like an average number of pieces have been sold ; but
there has been no improvement in prices. The wool
market still remains dull and inactive, and the manufac-
turers purchase for immediate use.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 29.--This market
exhibited symptoms of improvement; but still -the lan-
guor which has so long depressed, hangs heavily over
the markets. The principal demand is in heavy woollens
for exportation, and a general assortment of fancy goods.
The trade is by no means settled; all is done by " fits
and starts," hence the difficulty of forming a fair esti-
mate. Prices are nominal.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Y,2sterday a female
servant, aged only seventeen years, while attempting to clean
the windows of a second-floor room in the Waterloo-road,
missed her footing, and was precipitated on the terrace be-
neath, from a height of nrarly forty feet. The poor girl was
immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital in the Borough, still
breathing, but no hopes are entertained of her recovery.
