TO THE ELECTORS of WEST SURREY.
GENTLEMEN,
In consequence of the approaching dissolution of Parliament, I
again take the liberty of requesting your suffrages and support.
During the many years that I have been honoured with your confi-
dence trust you have ever found me a warm friend of civil and re-
ligious liberty, and a steady supporter of those principles which first
procured sae your favour and protection. In that long period I have
never made a profession on the hustings which I afterwards forgot,
or forfeited any pledges I have given, but uniformly persevered,
during a long and chequered political life, " through good and evil
report," in that course which I thought most conducive to the wel-
fare and prosperity of the country.

Though unable from attacks of the gout to make again a personal
canvass (which I am sure your long-experienced kindness will par-
don), yet, keeping a regular register of our Parliamentary proceed-
ings, I shall be happy to answer upon the hustings the quPstioas of
any freeholder, and defend or explain every vote I have given.
Should I once more be honoured by your suffrages, you may de-
pend upon my best attention to your local interests, and my support
of every measure that will, in my humble opinion, alleviate the
burdens, increase the commerce, and improve the social condition of
the empire.

With every sentiment of respect,
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and grateful servant,
Denbies, July 17, 1847. W. J. DENISON.

QlTtnin
ot
,

LONDON, SATURDAY. JULY 17, 1847.

Mr. ROEBUCK lives in the atmosphere of political
tumult, and likes it. Such was the humorous but
plain-spoken avowal of the Hon. and Learned Gen.
tleman the Member for Bath, when addressing the
Liberal electors of London, 'yesterday, on the pro-
priety of accepting the four popular candidates—
LAII,PENT, PATTISON, ROTHSCHILD, and RUSSELL.
A politician who undertakes to represent the opinions
of any given constituency in Parliament, with any
latent disrelish for the toils and agitations of legis-
lation,
is not the sort of man to select among the
different candidates. Indifference, even, is a charac-
teristic which should be considered sufficient to dis-
qualify any parson from receiving the suffrages of the
enfranchised million. There must be a manisfesta-
tion of something more than a tacit willingness to
partake in the rather onerous duties of the House of
Commons before a candidate, can look with confidence
for the approval of the electors of the United Xing.
London, England, 1847-07-17

SIR -EARDLEY WILMOT.

In answer to a question from Sir C. DOUGLAS,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he did not see that there
were any public grounds which would justify the House
in coming to any resolution on the subject of the family
of Sir Eardley Wilmot. He had no doubt that Mr.
C. E. Wilmot was a very deserving person, but he could
not thence agree in the opinion of the Hon. Baronet
that the House should come to any resolution in his
favour.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

A sad tragedy occurred in the neighbourhood of In-
verness last Thursday. Mr. Rose, one of the most
respectable and wealthy inhabitants of the town, his son
(a lad about fifteen), his two daughters, and another
gentleman, Mr. Letham, left town on that morning with
a carriage and pair to visit the Fall of Foyers and the
surrounding scenery. At the rocky pass of Inverfarkeirg,
about thirteen miles from Inverness, the road becomes
very rugged and uneven, and the approach to the bridge,
thrown across the torrent which tumbles through the
glen, is so steep and dangerous, that most travellers
alight from their vehicles and perform that part of the
journey on foot. On their way to the Fall the party
adopted this precaution ; but on their return, when it
was debated whether they should again walk that part
of the road or not, they, fatigued probably by rambling
about the Falls, resolved to remain in the carriage. At
the steep approach leading to the bridge, the weight of
the carriage pressing upon the horses, they grew restive,
and one of the reins breaking, they became unmanage-
able. At or on the bridge a sudden jerk threw the
youngest lady, who was seated on the top, off into the
bed of the torrent, a height of between thirty and forty
feet. The same jerk threw her father and the driver off;
but luckily they fell on the bridge. One of the horses
fell over, and hung struggling in the harness; the other
retained its footing, and strove desperately to keep it.
Ultimately, however, it was dragged over, and, falling
undermost, was killed upon the spot. The carriage and
its occupants shared the fate of the horses ; it turned
round in the air, and falling, wheels uppermost, on the
poor girl who was first thrown off, was dashed to pieces.
Some labourers working near the place used every
exertion to extricate the sufferers, and medical assistance
was immediately sent for to Inverness. The injuries of
the youngest lady were so severe that she lingered
insensible till the next morning, and then expired. Her
sister is very severely injured, and her brother's skull is
fractured. Both lie in a precarious state. Mr. Letham
is much cut and bruised, and has sustained a serious
injury in the knee. Mr. Rose and the driver escaped
unhurt.—Scotsman.
London, England, 1847-07-17

in & few days, probably, the trust you have committed
to me will be replaced in your hands. If you disapprove
that which I have done—if you think the commercial
policy erroneous, or the motives for adopting it insuffi-
cient or unworthy, I cannot solicit or expect the renewal
of ,your confidence. Stiil less can I solicit or expect it if you
think that that policy ought to be reversed—if you de-
sire to re-establish the principle of Protection—to re-
store the duties that have been repealed on cotton, on
Wool, on meat, on flour, on the long list of imported
article., which are either the materials for domestic
manufactures, or enter into general consumption as arti-
cles of food. _ _

It is my earnest hope that you will make your choice
of a representative exclusively upon public groands—that
you will not permit the consideration of mere personal
regard, or of my long connexion with you, to influence
that ohoice against your deliberate judgment.
If that deliberate judgment be in favour of the course
which I have pursued, and which I propose to pursue, I
shall b.o pe for a continuance of your confidence— if it b. e
not, (-Air intercourse in all the relations of private life will
not assume a less friendly character, if, in the discharge
of 'a trust committed to you, you should give effect to
opinions upon public matters at variance with those
erb,icn I have expressed.

to me will be replaced in your hands. If you disapprove
of that which I have done—if you think the commercial
policy erroneous, or the motives for adopting it insuffi-
cient or unworthy, I cannot solicit or expect the rerewal
of your confidence. Stiil less can I solicit or expect it if you
think that that policy ought to be reversed—it you de.
sire to re-establish the principle of Protecticn—to re-
store the duties that have been repealed on cotton, on
wool, on meat, on flour, on the long list of Imported
articles, which are either the materials for domestic
manufactures, or enter into general consumption as arti-
cles of food.
It is my earnest hope that you will make your choice
of a representative exclusively upon public grounds—that
you will not permit the consideration of mere personal
regard, or of my long connexion with you, to influence
that choice against your deliberate judgment.
If that deliberate judgment be in favour of the course
which I have pursued, and which I propose to pursue, I
shall hope for a continuance of your confidence— if it be
not, our intercourse in all the relations of private life will
not assume a less friendly character, if, in the discharge
of a trust committed to you, you should give effect to
opinions upon public matters at variance with those
which I have expressed.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
With much esteem,
Your faithful servant and friend,
ROBERT PEEL.

IMROVEMENTS.

In reply to Sir R. H. INGLIS,
Lord MORPETII stated that the Treasury had autho-
rised the expenditure of 50,0001. for the purpose of con-
structing an embankment at Chelsea, but the works bad
not yet been commenced, owing to the arrangements
which it was necessary to make with persons possess;ng
property on the banks of the river—the Marquis of
Westminster and others. His attention would be
earnestly directed to the subject during the recess.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, it was true his brother the
Duke of Bedford had offered to subscribe a considerable
sum towards the metropolitan improvements, on condi
Lion that a certain sum, for the same purpose, should be
raised by a tax on coals coming into the river ; but the
Government believed, looking at the high amount of the
present coal duties, that they could not have effected
these improvements without subjecting coals to a charge
considerably beyond that now charged by law. It would
be necessary to introduce a Bill on the subject. But
both out of office, and now in office, he considered that
the levying of such a tax was a most objectionable source
of revenue.—(Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had given the most careful at-
tention to the subject, and he was of the same opinion.
London, England, 1847-07-17

BILL.

A conference with their Lordships having been re-
quested by the Commons with respect to this Bill,
the above-mentioned Noble Lords were appointed for
the purpose.
On their return,

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE reported that the
conference on the part of the Commons was conducted
by Sir G. Grey, and that the conference left with them
their reasons for disagreeing with amendments which
their Lordships had inserted in the Bill.
A vast number of Bills were brought up from the
Commons, the titles of which were read by the Clerk
at the table; the whole of them having been brought up
under the new rule—namely, by list. Of course, a con-
siderable saving of time was the result.
MUSCLE FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the committal of this Bill,
and explained the nature of it, and defended its pro-
visions. He said, under the present law persons poaching
on oyster beds rendered themselves liable to twelve
months' imprisonment, and that the present Bill would
simply assimilate the law with respect to muscles to that
of oysters. Muscles were now most inadequately
protected.
Lord :BROUGHAM opposed the Bill on the ground
that a person who simply fished up a muscel or who
fished for one ineffectually, would render himself liable
to most severe punishment, far more severe than the
nature of the offence required. Snails and cockles,
which he had been blamed for calling a mixture of
leather, salt, and sand, and as wanting in his apprecia-
tion of the fine arts—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—
were a respectable class of society, and he really
was at a loss to understand why they should not be pro-
tected.—(Renewed laughter.) Why, the Lord Advocate,
from whom the Bill had emanated, by his anxiety to pro-
tect muscles would be entitled to have a muscle embla-
zoned on his banner at the next election.—(Laughter.)
It was quite ridiculous to frame such stringent
promises for the protection of such unimportant
property. Why, if a boy on his way to school
took a muscle out of the water and ate it with his knife,
he would be branded as a felon. Ile hoped the Bill,
therefore, would not pass.
Lord CAMPBELL said fisheries were granted by
the Crown to the persons who held them, and surely
they ought to have that protection at the hands of the
law which other property, such as fowls, &c., enjoyed.
Their Lordships then went into Committee on the
Bill, and the clause having been agreed to, the Chairman
reported the result to the House.
HOLYHEAD HARBOUR BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Earl POWIS objected to the motion.
The Earl of AUCKLAND supported the third read-
ing of the Bill.
After some observatiols from Lord MONTEAGLE,
The Bill was read a third time and passed.

SIR IARDLEY WILMOT.

In answer to a question from Sir C. DOUGLAS,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he did not see that there
were any public grounds which would justify the House
in coming to any resolution on the subject of the family
of Sir Eardley Wilmot. He had no doubt that Mr.
C. E. Wilmot was a very deserving person, but he could
not thence agree in the opinion of the Hon. Baronet
that the House should come to any resolution in his
favoir.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

A sad tragedy occurred in the neighbourhood of In-
verness last Thursday. Mr. Rose, one of the most
respectable and wealthy inhabitants of the town, his son
(a lad about fifteen), his two daughters, and another
gentleman, Mr. Lytham, left town on that morning with
a carriage and pair to visit the Fall of Foyers and the
surrounding scenery. At the rocky pass of Inverfarkeirg,
about thirteen miles from Inverness, the road becomes
very rugged and uneven, and the approach to the bridge,
thrown across the torrent which tumbles through the
glen, is so steep and dangerous, that most travellers
alight from their vehicles and perform that part of the
journey on foot. On their way to the Fall th,t, party
adopted this precaution ; but on their return, when it
was debated whether they should again walk that part
of the road or not, they, fatigued probably by rambling
about the Falls, resolved to remain in the carriage. At
the steep approach leading to the bridge, the weight of
the carriage pressing upon the horses, they grew restive.
and one of the reins breaking, they became unmanage-
able. At or on the bridge a sudden jerk threw the
youngest lady, who was seated on the top, off into the
bed of the torrent, a height of between thirty and forty
feet. The same jerk threw her father and the driver off;
but luckily they tell on the bridge. One of the horses
fell over, and hung struggling in the harness; the other
retained its footing, and strove desperately to keep it.
Ultimately, however, it was dragged over, and, falling
undermost, was killed upon the spot. The carriage and
its occupants shared the fate of the horses ; it turned
round in the air, and falling, wheels uppermost, on the
poor girl who was first thrown off, was dashed to pieces.
Some labourers working near the place used every
exertion to extricate the sufferers, and medical assistance
was immediately sent for to Inverness. The injuries of
the youngest lady were so severe that she lingered
insensible till the next morning, and then expired. Her
sister is very severely injured, and her brother's skull is
fractured. Both lie in a precarious state. Mr. Lytham
is much cut and bruised, and has sustained a serious
injury in the knee. Mr. Rose and the driver escaped
unhurt.—Scotsnian.

COMMON PLEA S.-(THIS DAY.)

ELDERTON V. EVANS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr.
Elderton, who had been retained as solicitor to the Church
of England Life and Fire Assurance Institution. After a
time, however, his strvices were dispensed with, and an
action was brought for compensation. On the trial a
verdict was given for the defendant, and a rule was now
moved for a new trial or for a nonsuit. The case had
been previously part heard.
After a lengthened argument, which has occupied the
greater part of several days,

The Lam CHIEF JUSTICE gave judgment, and said
that he was of opinion that the judgment should be erased
in both courts, and that the verdict should be entered
for the plaintiff on the first count, and for the defendant
on the second count. The whole matter turned upon the
meaning of the word " permanent." Now the agree-
ment had expresdy stated that the plaintiff was to be
engaged as solicitor for the company for a certain period,
of which no date was given, and which might be con-
cluded on either side. The defendant had pleaded the
general issue, and had done perfectly right in doing so,
and this brought them back to the meaning of the word
" permanent." He therefore considered that even if the
jury had given a verdict for the plaintiff, the Court would
not have given a judgment in favour of the plaintiff.
%Vitt) regard to the second count, there did not appear
to be any sufficient consid•;-ration for retaining the ser
,vices of the plaintiff. It appeared furth( r, that the
plaintiff had not given any promise to perform certain
duties. There was no evidence that either in law or in
fact there was reason for the verdict for the plaintiff;
and even if a new trial were to be granted, and a yerthet

TWO PICKED TWELVES OF THE MARYLE

BONE CLUB AND GROUND.

This distinguished club opened their season yester-
day, by a one day's match between two selected aides at
Lord's. The ground was far better attended on the oc•
casion than we had anticipated would have been the case
under such a sudden change of weather.
The Earl of Strathmore was unable to be present, but
his Lordship's place was supplied by Lord Burleigh, a
nobleman who has during the last two or three years
manifested much interest in the game, and who is no
mean player. His Lordship made two astonishingly fine
catches at short slip. Hillyer, it will be seen, came out,
as he originally did, as an admirable batter, and Royston
was well up to the mark. Dakin played beautifully.
The Hon. C. Lyon also hit exceedingly well ; whilst
Mr. Haygarth has not forgotten his steadiness. The
bowlers were all likewise to the mark, and, with few ex-
ceptions, were difficult to be got away.
As soon as each side had had an innings the stumps
were drawn, and at that moment the score stood thus:—

which, from all that we can learn, is likely to be an easy
one. Nothing has yet been done with regard to the two
plates on Friday, but as one gentleman has declared his
intention not to pay on Glory's race, the matter, as we
stated on. Saturday, must come before the stewards.
That it was a very gross case seems to be beyond a ques-
tion ; we trust, therefore, that the guilty parties will be
exposed, and that it will lead to the abolition of heats at
Epsom, and all other respectable meetings. There were
not half a dozen bets laid yesterday, but for the
