ceive it free of postage, but he was charged a penny ; will
you be good enough to inform me if this was a correct

THE FINSBURY CA..NVASS.

MR. TOOKE.

The following letter appears in a Morning Contempo-
rary : we insert it in justice to Mr. Tooke, having
given Mr. Duncombe's statement publicity :--
SlR—Although revolting to my better feelings to
submit voluntarily to bring my name in juxta-position
with that of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, yet his trumpery
charge brought against 1112, as paraded in the consistent
columns of the Times, claims a short explanatory
statement.

Theision of Useful resolution ofs theful Knowledge, Conmomilttdeeeon tht
ofthe ,
society
supposedf
use for
beD
of its influence, and which 1 utterly deny, was
opposed by Sir G. Staunton, who moved the pre-
vious question upon it, and which was ca: cried by an
actual majority of the few members pr esents, the
numbers being eight for and seven against •the previous
question ; when Lord Nugent, who rarely- if ever met
the Committee before, having been no doule t by special
accident induced to attend on this occasion, was, owing
to his rank, inadvertently called to the cb air, and by
his two votes, an original and a casting on a, turned the
scale in favour of the resolution.
This of itself, his Lordship not having Attended any
previous meeting on the subject, or being• possessed of
any information respecting it, except wb at he might
have derived from his brother paymaster,* / Qr. T. Dun-
combe, would have been sufficiently indecent, and ren-
dered a resolution so carried inoperative it the mind of
every respectable individual ; but what epithet can too
strongly designate the transaction, when it turns out
that his Lordship had no claim to be in t he chair, nor
to vote at all in the Committee, he not be ing a contri-
buting subscriber to the funds of the Sor:i ety, and con-
sequently not being a member of the Com poration, nor
qualified to act in its proceedings ?
I have accordingly applied to the Nobile Chairman of
the Society to convene a special general meeting of the
Committee, for the purpose of expunging Lord Nugent's
double vote ; and, by thus establishiqg the previous
question, expose and defeat this portion„ at least, of a
paltryele
octir
whicheerin is electioneering conspiracy,
progress.onspiracy,a fullor and conclusive
refutation
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE LATE SAVAGE MURDER ON
THE GLASGOW AND EDINBUEGH RAIL-
WAY.

COMMITTAL OP 15 PERSONS FOR MORD ERA-LATEST

PARTICULARS.

(From the Glasgow Constitutional of lA, riednesday.)
There are now 25 in custody, and the .investigation
by the authorities is proceeding in due foi EA. We are
not prepared to say whether the two men. who are the
actual perpetrators of the crime will be ids ntified ; but
there is good reason to believe that then 11.1 s been a
conspiracy to murder on the principles of rib andism, and
that proof will be adduced to that effect. The exami-
nations were proceeded with on Monday,. in the She-
riff's Chamber, Stockwell-street, the parties in custody
being brought down from Bridewell in noddie s, by twos,
with escorts of police and Sheriff's efficers. The pro-
ceedings hitherto have been strictly privet( 1. We have
authority for stating, that fifteen of the la bola ers have
been committed on a charge of murder.
The authorities have, in course of thtir
inquiries,
found good reason to believe that a labet firer, named
Dennis Donlan, is one of the murderers and I aye offered
a reward of 1001. for the apprehension, if f. .)Ilowed by
conviction, of that individual, one-half of the Feeney to
be paid by the Railway Conarany, and the of her by the
Procurator Fiscal of Lanarkshire, at Glasgo ".
