ELECT/OLTEMILING.

The military despotism, and obstruction exercised
at the Carlow election, will be obvious in the single in-
stance of Mr. Symes, which appears in another part of
The Sun.

Speaking of the Wexford election, the Dublin
Evening Post remarks :—" The fourth candidate, Mr. S.
C. Hall, occupies a strange position on the poll : he has
not obtained a single vote. He ought, we think, to vote
for himself, if it were only to displace the queer-looking
cypher. We hear that this second of the Tory candidates
i 3 no other than the husband of the lady of that name
now engaged in writing ' Sketches in Ireland.' "

William Morgan, who fired upon the crowd while
they made a disturbance round his house at Waterford,
has refused to be bailed out. The children wounded are
doing well, and even the girl Mountain will, it is thought,
retain her sight.

At Waterford, the electors assembled in the Town-
hall on Friday, to make arrangements for petitioning
against the undue return of the two Members, and to re-
sist the attempts of the Tory party to deprive them of
their rights and franchise. Mr. Wyse said that he should
consider himself disgraced, un-English, and un-Irish, if
he did not vindicate the electors. The preparation of a
petition was accordingly proposed and carried. A con-
siderable subscription has also been begun to forward it.
—At a district meeting of the Reformers of the
borough of Marylebone, held on Tuesday in Clarence-
gardens, it was stated that the admirable plan adopted
by the Reform Association, in sending out admonitory
placards, regarding the day of registration, had been pro,
ductive of the most beneficial effects.

Increased returns and reduced prices upon corn, in the
proportions before stated, benefit the labouring classes
25 per cent ; and, on the other hand, increased prices
and diminished returns injure them, to the same extent..
In ordinary years the value of the bread-corn con-
sumed by the number of labourers and their families,
proportionably employed and located upon every 146
acres, would amount to 56/. 9s. ; with ten returns it
would be reduced to 42/. 6s. Bd. ; whilst with six returns
it would be advanced to 70/. I ls. 4d. It is therefore
very evident that higher prices upon corn than what will
fairly remunerate the producer for the capital employed
in its production, must be detrimental to the true inte-
rest of agriculture. The quantity directly consumed by
agriculturists, and those depending upon them, is so
erroneously large in comparison with what they have to
dispose of for money in the market, that it is a matter
of astonishment to many others, as well as myself, that
it could have escaped the attention of an individual so
keen-sighted, and so practically acquainted with agricul-
tural details, as your Lordship is reported to be. I can
only account for it by presuming that, when addressing
your constituents at Lancaster, your Lordship's object
was mystification. Had your Lordship intended honestly
to have mooted the practical bearings of the Corn-law
question, it is hardly possible that so important an item
as the farmer's consumption, enormously great as it is,
could have escaped your observation. That item, in
fact, constitutes the most important feature in the
case. For, however plausibly it may be urged that high
prices are beneficial to the agriculturists as corn-growers,
and that as producers protective laws are requisite to
foster their prosperity, still as consumers they, like every
other class of the community, must contribute a quota
proportionate to the quantity consumed by them towards
making up whatever amount may be levied under the
fallacious designation of a protective duty. The average

KENSINGTON.

A meeting of influential Reformers of this district took place
last n'ght at the King's Arms Hotel, to lake into con,ideration
the means to be adopted to support Ministers in carrying out
the liberal measures they have lately brought forward, and to
obtain a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. Pilkington, one of the
Magistrates of the district, was called to the chair. Consi-
derable discussion took place. Ultimately a petition to Parlia-
ment, in favour of free trade and the abolition of the corn mo-
nopoly, which had been agreed upon at a former meeting, and
received numerous signatures, was ordered to be sent to Mr.
Byng,, AI.P., for immediate presentation. Air Wickham
then proposed the formation of an Auxiliary Anti-Corn-law
Association. The proposal was most favourably received, and
it was agreed to take the subject more fully into consideration
at an adjourned meeting to be held on Monday evening next,
and also what was the best course to be pursued by the Re-
formers of Kensington in the present important crisis.

LORD HOTHAM'S CLAIM.
Cornlel were heard anti wiitt,sses examined on behalf of
the c aim of Lord Hotham, to vote at the election cf Repre-
sentative Peers f, r Ireland. After which their Lordships de-
clan d that the eiaimatit had made out his claim.
The Lord Chancellor, the Earl 01 Warwick, and Lord
Kenyon then sat to hear Irish Appeals.

DELL V. THE EARL OF HADDINGTON.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case which
was argued before the House a few days ago. • The question in
the case was whether the sum of 3,0001., given to a lady by her
husband, under a post-nuptial contract, descended in the
events that had happened to her representatives, or formed
part of the ( state of her husband. The Lord Ordi-
nary, upon the case coming before him decided that
the representatives of the lady were entitled, but on the
case being brought before the Inner House, they decided
that -the sum in questi-n formed part of the estate or the
husband, and from that decision the pre .ent appeal was brought.
'lire Lord Chancellor being clearly of opinion that the judgment
I ronounced by the Lord Ordinary was the correct mine, or-
dered the interlocutor of the Inner House to be reversed, and
that pronounced by the Lord Ordinary to be substituted in its
place.
Judgment below reversed.

RE-ANIMATION.

THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL,
as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for
ages to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Mediea,
and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions
of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be
wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S
genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of S 1 EEL should have
attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe.
When the most important functions of life are suspended, and
those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced
to the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in
despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be-
yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge-
neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it
is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best,
if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de-
bility. When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse
themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects
at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark
of life begins to grow dim, the ciiculation, languid, and the
faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to
the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body,
and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise,
loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate
approaching consumption, the. delicate female will be preserved
and restored to health and society by the benign influence of
this medicine.

A CLERICAL OFFENDER.

At a seaport town on the west coast of Scotland, there
lived, until within the last few weeks, a clergyman con-
nected with the Established Church, but not one of the
beneficed ministers of the place, his cure of souls not
being blessed with an endowment. The clergyman of
whom we write was quite an exemplary man in his out-
ward walk, a rampant Non-intrusiomst, and run after as a
model of piety by all the devout ladies in the locality.
None ever dreamed that one so holy could yield to the
lusts of the flesh ; and great, therefore, was the outcry
raised a few weeks ago, when it became noised
abroad that his Reverence was on terms of
improper familiarity with a married woman of doubtful
reputation, who lived apart from her husband. The

" SALOP AND NORTH WALES BANK.

" Messrs. Price and Edwards deeply deplore the nc-
cessity they find themselves under of closing the bank
and suspending their payments. This announcemeat is
made, as may be supposed, with much pain, but a sense
of duty to the public and themselves unfortunately ren-
ders it necessary. So far from having at any time con •
sidered the affitirs of the bank in a state of conaision or
derangement; Messrs. Price and Edwards have always
been led to regard them as not merely satisfactory, but
as flourishing and prosperous, and it was only upon a
very recent investigation of the accounts that they had
any reason to believe otherwise. After such investiga-
tion, and
.a deliberate consideration of the circumstances,
the course they have now taken appeared to be the only
proper ohe left them to adopt ; and whilst they un-
feig,nedly regret the inconvenience it will occasion to
many parties, they beg to add, that every available ex-
ertion shall be used with a view to the fulfilment of
their engagements

`•Corn 'Market, Shrewsbury, May 24, 1841."
Many melancholy cases of hardship have come to
light to-day, and others still more affecting are now
looked for. So divided is public opinion as to the pro-
babilities of a favourable dividend, that in some instances
four sovereigns have been refused for a 5/. note, and in
others 1001. in notes have been offered for 20 sovereigns.
Report variously estimates the liabilities at from thirty-
five thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand pounds,
Even supposing the latter to be the correct sum, it is
thought that the private fortune of one of the surviving
partners would be more than equivalent to its discharge,
but for some recent family arrangements, which are
likely to lead to some heavy expensive litigation between
that gentleman or his heirs, and the creditors of the
estate.

It is not impossible that the stoppage of this bank may
have a material influence on the approaching election for
Shrewsbury, as the funds of the Conservative club were
among the depcsits. Messrs. Benjamin D'lsraeli and
Tomline, the candidates in the Tory interest, would do
well to bear this fact in mind before they commence
their canvass among the susceptible electors of Salop.

MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

Messengers from the Lords brought down certain
Bills.

Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from Birming-
ham, in favour of the resolution about to be proposed to
the House by the Hon. Member for Tamworth. The
substance of the petition was, that the petitioners viewed
with alarm the determination of her Majesty's Ministers
to adhere to office in direct violation of the Constitution,
and notwithstanding successive, defeats in the House of
Commons, and the Manifestly increasing withdrawal of
the confidenCe of the country. They deprecated the
effort on the part of her Majesty's Ministers to raise a
popular excitement by the agitation of the Corn-
law question—(Loud cheering from the Oppo-
sition benches)—at the present juncture of affairs,
and most earnestly requested the House to vindicate the
Constitution of the country by supporting the motion of
which Sir Robert Peel had given notice. The petition
was signed by 2,740 of the most respectable individuals
in Birmingham. "No doubt," said the Hon. -Member,
" ten times the number would have signed it if sufficient
time had been allowed."
An HoN. MEMBER begged to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade, whether
the attention of her Majesty's Government had been
called to a most lamentable occurrence which had taken
place a 'short time since—namely, the loss of the William
brown emigrant vessel. He thought that measures
should be takto4 to make it compulsory on all Captains
of emigrant vessels to be provided with boats, and other
means of safety. It appeared from the investigation that
had taken place, that the lives of sixteen unfortunate
people had been sacrificed in consequence of the neglect •
to provide such means, He wished to know what informa-
tion her Majesty's Ministers had of the affair, and if they
were perfectly satisfied of the propriety of the course
adopted on that occasion. Several of the relatives and
friends of unfortunate people who had been sacrificed
tined in his neighbourhood, and were most anxious to
have their care tnygstigated.
Mr. LABOUCHItE. W4O ,vas almost inaudible,
was understood to say that the vessel alluded togas not
an English vessel, and interference with their
regulations, however desirable, was a matter of very great
difficulty.:: particular questions that had been
put %by tile%Hun- Gendaniu, )114s obviously impossible
for him to give any satisfactory answer,

EVENING EDITION

told him that he (Mr. Buller) ought not to speak, he was going
to ask a questionof the Right Hon. Member for Montgomery. It
weirkl be convenient if the rules of order were persevered in
in -that House, and if Gentlemen on the other side made vio-
len t party speeches, ought not seine answer to be allowed to be
ma de to such speeches ? He was then going to speak with
pet feet moderation on the subject, and point out the want a
Cais ness there was in introducing measures for a prosecution on
er pates statements, which were not borne out. At the same
titioe that the Hon. Member moved for further proceedings
irt this case, he ought to move for further proceedings in' the
c *se of Walsall.--( Hear. )
Wlr. ELLIOT said that he would be happy to join in any
tonne that might be adopted to obtain proof of bribery, if such
and existed, but he thought it rather hard to call on the Com-
mittee ZO state whether or not they would take up the case.
Mr. WYNN said he would state his reasons for taking what
en irregular course. He wished this motion to
Tun parallel with that of the Noble Lord, fur leave to bring in a
Bill foe the prevention of bribery, with which he thought it in-
timately connected. This might have been a case in which
the Committee had not power to act, as the parties might not
hare betel before them. He could prove the fact of bribery by
teete Rtnesses. This was a question on which it was the duty
of tho House of Commons, as the great inquest
of the nation, to institute proceedings. The
Honourable and Learned Gentleman asked him to
institute proceedings alto with respect to Walsall. He had
read filo evidence before the two Committees carefully, and did
not see that bribery was proved in the one, while it was almost
evident in the other. But let them not endeavour to pair off
in that way. If bribery was proved at St. Alban's, punish it;
if at Walsall, punish it.--(Cheors. )
Mr. AGLIONBY complained of the irregularity of the dis-
eussiln into which they had been drawn. It was not At, under
the ciisgui?e of a question, to enter into along statement.
Mr. WYNN said that his statement bed been drawn from
him by what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
opposite (Mr. C. Buller).
AGLIONBY apologised under those circumstances for
the staterneglihe had made.
Thetaonstton then dropped.

HAMMERSMITH,

A public meeting of the parishioners of Hammersmith, con-
vened by the Churchwarden, was held on Tuesday at the Lati-
mer School-room, for the purpose of taking into consideration
the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament at this
important crisis, that the poor may have cheap bread, and that
the very excellent measures nobly proposed by her Majesty's
Mitisters may be fully carried out with all convenient speed.
At six o'clock, the time appointed, John T. Fowell, Esq.,
Churchwarden, took the Chair. The room was crammed to
the outer door. John Bowling, Esq, proposed, and William
Bird, I sq., seconded the petition.
Mr. STALLwoon, a Chartist, rose to propose an amend.
meat, when a most uproarious scene occurred, and the Chair-
man had much difficulty in maintaining order, until another
Chartist rose, of the name of Cullinghane, who condemned the
conduct of the Nottingham Chartists and of the Chartist who
last spoke. He was a Chartist, but they uent a mistaken way
to work ; he was thankful to take good measures from any Ad-
roinisti ation. Cries of" Question, question.")
Mr. Harris, Mr. Teakle, \Vicken, Mr. Brown, Mr. Le
Masaitre, and Mr. Loftus, then spoke in support of the petition.
The CHAIRMAN put the Chartist amendment—" That. it is
useless petitioning the Legislature for the redress of any griev-
ances until the representation of the people be made coeval with
taxation."

On the amendment being put, three hands only were held up
for it. The petition was then put and calried unanimously,
with three cheers for Lord John Russell and her Alajesty's
Ministers.

BELGIUM.

Baussitt.s, MAY 15.—The Miniver t the Interior has
sent the following note to the Chamber tf Commerce of Ver-
viers, and probably to the other Chambers of Commerce in
the kingdom :
" Brussels, May 3.
Sir,—The Treaty of Comm:eree and Navigation between
Belgium and Brazils expired ‘.,n the 18th of April last. The
Government has in vain made every effort that it might be
continued • Brazil has resolved to refrain at pr, sent from re-
newing the Treaties which it had concluded, as well with
France and the United States, as with Belgium and England.
This resolution it has already applied to the first three PAwas, and has declared its intention of applying likewise to tM last
as soon as the Treaty expires, which will be in November,
1842. However, the steps taken by our Envoy at Rio
have been entirely fruitlebs ; he has obtained a promise
that our commerce shall continue to be treated in the
same manner as that of the nation (England), the treaties of
which are not yet expired ; and this, the last existing treaty
having expired, another shall be made with us on the princi-
ples of reetproc.ty. Thus, Sir, till November, 1842, our com-
merce will continue to enjoy the same advantages, secured by
the treaty which has just expired. Our merchants know that
the principal of these advantages is to pay to Brazil only an
import duty of 20 per cent. on our spirituous liquors of our
own manufacture, while that duty is 50 per cent, on the same
ar icle coming from countries not favoured. Be so good* Sir'
as inaniediately to inform the Chambers of Commerce in ”at
province, of what I have stated, and Lt the same time desiring
immediately to inform merchants in their departments-

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The first of the three fruit and flower shows for the
present season, held in the gardens of this Society at
Turnham-green, took ylace on Saturday. The fineness
of the weather, the great number of fashionable people
who are at this time of the year in town, and the high
reputation of the Society, attracted altogether a more
than usual number of visitors. It may be said that the
whole phalanx of rank and fashion now in the metropo-
lis was assembled. Amongst the number was his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who appeared to feel
great interest in the exhibition of the fruits and flowers.
By five o'clock the road from Hammersmith to the en-
trance of the grounds in the lane-at Turnham-green was
almost impassable.;- and had it 'not been for therexcellent
arrangements'to keeporder; many acCidefits insist have
occurred. The issue 'of 'the tickets amounted. to ;nearly
eight thousand. . The gardens are in the most beatitiful
order-indeed the turf is finer than it has been since first
laid down, and the shrubs and flowens
.in,
,the beds. and
borders Are in equally healthy and splendid Order. The
Company promenaded for:some hours ; and were; in ad-
dition to the pleasure produced 'by surveying the flowers
Of the competitors for the medals, entertained 'by sthne
excellently selected music, - overtures and quadrilles, 'by
the bands of the Life Guards., Bhies; and Coldstream
Guards.

The flowers and fruits were, as usual, arranged under
the immense tents manufactured by Mr. B. Edgington,
of the Borough. Indeed, these tents were of infinite ser-
vince in shading the company from the great heat of the
sun, which at one period of the day was intense. The
conservatory, which is now completely finished and
stocked with some of the finest specimens of floriculture,
became an object of great interest to the patrons of flori-
culture. It is built on the most improved principles of
Modern science, and is a light and elegant structure. The
most beautiful flowers exhibited were the varieties of
azalias and geraniums ; the heartseases were also very
fine. Indeed, nothing could surpass the brilliancy of
colours, and the true shape and proportions of sonic of
the classes. A great number of gold and silver medals
were awarded by the judges to the successful candidates ;
both Banksian and othei medals. Mr. Lawrence was, as
Usual, _amongst the winners of the gold medals. It was
not until seven o'clock that the- bulk of the company
began to depart, and it was dark before the last visitor
left the gardens. Taking this show altogether, both as
to its splendour in horticultural produce; its elegance
from the rank and beauty of the female nobility and
gentry, and its aggregate of numbers, we do not remem-
ber ever to have Leen it surpassed.
