MORPETII.—SATURDAY AFTERNOON. ----
(From a Correspondent.)—The Morpeth election has con-
cluded; the Tories are thoroughly beaten ; their candidate o'3°
proposed, but, before he enneludjd his speech, retired, afraid of
being driven to a poll, as he had not a quarter of the votes. He
was accompanied by all the Tory squires. In Bedlington-
shire, where Lord Carlisle has no interest, Captain Howard eras
supported by all but five voters; and Chartists, Radical Re-
formers, and Whigs, have ill united to support him. Upwards
of 1000 persons accompanied him into the town.
CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.—About
fortnight ago Mr. Nevell Norway was murdered on the road
from Rodmin to his place at Wadebridge in Cornwall. Suspi-
cion attached to two brothers, Wm. and James Lightfoot•
sons of th., sexton of St. Breock, ho were arrested and un-
derwent a final examination at Wadeb.ridge on Wednesday last,
when William made a full confession of the murder. The other
prisoner said nothing. They were fully committed to take
their trial at the Suing Assizes on the 2dth of March.
Lord Leveson having accepted the office of Un-
der Secretary for Foreign Affairs, a vacancy occurred in the
represen• ation of Alorpeth, woich called two candidates into
the field, viz., the Hon. Captain Howard and ALijoi. Cadogrot
Whig and Tory—the former the son of the Earl of Carlisle, the
layer the protege of " Pretty Dick;" and the contest bet
ended in the utter defeat of the Tories. On Wcdnes ay nigh
_Master Hodgson delivered a lecture on total abstinence, from
the committee-room window, to Kin over the teetotallers;
.ana,
at the cooclusion of hi 3 address he ordered a barrel or beer, to
buy the other section of the community. It is 38 years sine;
thei e was a contested election in Alorpeth.— Gateshead 0 -

MARYLEBONE.

Two ruffianly fellows, named Martin and Savage, well-
known burglars, were examined on the following extra-
ordinary charge of robbing a publican, named Franklin, in
Exeter street, Lisson-grove :
The prosecutor was informe 1 that his tap-room contained
a set of thieves, who were robbing his cellar of wine.
Ho sent for the police, who rushed into the place, where
they found the prisoners and others, who had taken up the
flooring, and abstracted nearly five dozen of choice old
port and Madeira from the cellar below, which had been
carried out by four and five bottles at a time. The thieves
made a desparate attack on the police, who managed to se-
cure them after a struggle. The prisoners were fully
committed for trial.

!P.
The following letter of the gallant veteran, to n gerttle.;
man of the name of Lloyd, who has published a parriph4s.C.
on the peace or war question, does him great honour :
Presidency of the Council of Ministers,
Cabinet, Paris, Nor. 24

Sir—l hare received the pamphlet, bearing the title
" Address of an Englisi man to the French Nation," which
you have been kind enough to send me, and I seturn you
my thanks. I have read it with the more ple.sure. inas-
much as you called to mind in that pamphlet the recep-
tion, as honourable for me as for Fiance, which WAS given
me in your country, when the King honoured me with the
glerious mission of representing him at the coronation of
her Majesty the Queen of Eighth&
The remembrance which I have retained of that period
of my life will never be effaced from my mentor}, nor will
the rishes which I then expressed, and which were unani-
mously partaken of by a'.l the inhabitants of Great Britain.
for a perpetual a.'liance between Fiance and England..
Those wishes I still proclaim, notwithsteuding the dissen-
sions which have temporarily arisen in Europe—dissen-
sions which I entertain hopes of seeing soon appeased. -
I should be happy if I had the honour to contribute to
that great work in the voice to svhich the confidence of the
King has just summoned me. •.
I avail myself with eagerness, Sir, of the opportunity
which
you have offered eof assuring ;on of all my esteem
&c. Marshal Duke of DA L.M ATI A;

BANBURY-FRIDAY.

The intelligence of the attempt upon her Majesty's life,
which was made known here by the Second Edition of
The Sun, the only paper which brought the information,
caused considerable excitement. The Mayor has called a
meeting of the inhabitants at six o'clock this evening, to
adopt an address of congratulation to her Majesty on her
providential escape.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF

THE QUEEN.

(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
Before this paragraph meets the eyes of our readers,
the attempt made on Wednesday evening last, on the lives
of the Queen and her Royal husband Prince Albert, will
have created one feeling of intense horror and indignation
throughout the land. From the accounts which we have
extracted from the Morning Papers of yesterday, it will
be seen that the whole affair is yet wrapped in mystery,
tliough sufficient has transpired to warrant a strong suspi-
cion that the miscreant Oxford was the tool of others in
the work of treason and death. That mystery must be
probed to the bottom, and the accomplices of the san-
guinary ruffian who endeavoured to imbrue his hands
in the blood of his youthful and innocent Sovereign—if
accomplices he have any—must be traced to their hiding
places, and high or low, rich or poor, held up to the
scorn and execration of mankind. There appears to be no
doubt whatever that the death of her Majesty, or that of
her royal consort, one or both, was intended. The marks
of the balls on the wall, and their direction, show this, but
even if the pistols were loaded only with powder, the effect
of such a shock on her Majesty in her present situation
was no doubt calculated, and what that effect might have
been, or may yet be, will readily be surmised. The ex-
pected heir of England, whose legitimacy an infamous
Tory paper in this town has dared, almost in express
terms, to question, might have fallen a sacrifice along with
his royal mother, and thus cleared the way to the throne
of England for Ernest of Hanover. From such a calamity
Providence has, in its mercy, preserved Great Britain
and the world. That an attempt should have been
made to bring it about can excite surprise in the
mind of no man who has paid attention to the fierce rav-
ings of the Bradshaws and Robys, the Grcggs and M'Neiles,
the 7 imes and the Mails, some of whom have denied that
the Queen is a Christian,—others asserted thet she has
forfeited her right to the throne,—others all but denounced
her as a prostitute,—and others quoted Jezebel in such
guize that the application, whether intended or not, was
made to her. For our own part, we are in no degree
surpri-ed at the horrible attempt which has been made on
the life of a sovereign so denounced, nor should we be sur-
prised at its recurrence. But, for the present, until the
mystery is unravelled, the treason exposed, and the trai-
tors discovered, we can only say, from all such attempts
may Heaven in its goodness preserve her Majesty ! From
all traitors, foreign and domestic,
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

LIVERFOOL COTTON-MARKST, FRIDAY.--Our market
still continues in a dull state, with little change in prices.
American descriptions arc selling at about the same rates
as last week. Brazil and Egyptian are again rather easier,
and Surats difficult to move at last week's prices. 2,300
bales of Surat were offered at auction to-day, and were all
bought in at 4:1, except 10 bays. There has been more
disposition these last few days to business on the part of
buyers; and to-day's transactions will exceed 5,000 bales
of all kinds. Speculators have taken 4,000 bales of
American and Egyptian, 1,000 American, 800 Bengal,
and 100 Surat.

to wish for. The bill of fare for the

QUEEN' S THEATRE.

At this pretty little theatre, last night, was in-
troduced a new fairy spectacle, entitled The Demon
Arab. It came forth with all the tinsel pageantry
incident to the holiday drama that happily lays such
hold of the young memory, and a fleeting reminis-
cence of which is often a refresher in the realities
of after life. Monsieur Buck, " The Wizard of
the West," caused the more credulous part of
the audience to cast suspicious, sidelong glances
at each other, whilst performing his Magical
Illusions. The evening's amusement wound
.up
with a_really laughable farce, entitled The Inquisi-
tive Gentleman, in which Air. Parry, under the
familiar cognomen of Paul Pry, kept the audience in
a continued fit of merriment. On the whole, the
performance was a credit to those who catered for
the public amusement, yet we could wish, for the
sake of those whom it interests, that the audience
had been more numerous.

whole of the Naval Atiministrai ion. The bases of the plan
are laid dow-n, and it is expressly ordered that the ordinary
expenses are not to exceed one million rix dollars, and
the King would he glad if further retrenchments could
be made. It may, therefore, be advisable for the pre-
sent to suspend, as far as possible, the building of large
men-of-war. The ships, however, are to be kept in a
serviceable cond;tioe, and provided with everything ne-
cessary ; and the fleet is to he increased by two or more
armed steam-boats. The officers and men to be kept
in constant practice, and for that purpose voyages are to
be nude to the Mediterranean and the trans-atlantic
coasts. No actual reduction of the navy is intended.

DINNER AT THE MANSION

HOUSE.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave the accustomed Easter
entertainment at the Mansion-house. Among the distin-
guished guests who were present we observed his Excel-
lency the French Ambassador, the Count Reuss, the
Bishops of London and Llandaff, the Attorney and Soli-
citor-General, Sir T. Neave, Sir W. Heygate, Aldermen
Sir P. Laurie, Sir J. Cowan, Venables, Lucas, Fare-
brother, &c.

Mr. Toole officiated as toast-master, and gave " The
Loving Cup," with great eclat.

The Health of " Her Majesty the Queen," proposed by
the LORD MAYOR, was given upstanding, with three times
three, and followed by the national anthem.
His LORDSHIP next gave the health of " Prince Albert,"
which was drunk with three times three.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of " the
Queen Dowager and the other Members of the Royal
Family," which was received with acclamations.
The next toast was " the Army,"i and acknowledged by
Lieutenant-Colonel Gurwood.
The Loan MAYOR next gave the health of his Excellency
the French Ambassador, and the other representatives of
Foreign Powers.—(Cheers.)
M. GIJIZoT ( French Ambassador) begged, in behalf
of the whole diplomatic body, in the name of Europe as
well as of France, to express the warmest feelings of
gratitude for the kind manner in which the last toast
had been drunk. Not many years ago their ancestors
would no doubt have been much astonished if they had
been told that so many representatives of Foreign
Powers should assemble and sit in amity and enjoy-
ment in that convivial hall; but we had lived to see the
reign of peace established among the nations—( Cheers)—a
peace at once the noblest and most secure, achieved and
guaranteed by the power of civilization, of justice, and of
liberty.—(Cheers.) We should not be unmindful of that
Providence which had bestowed such blessings on our ago,
nor cease to hope that the blessings of peace might be ren-
dered lasting. At all events, it should never be inter-
rupted but for just and unavoidable causes.—( Cheers.)
He could at least say it was the earnest wish of his coun-
try, as well as this, that a long and happy peace might
still continue.

The LORD MAYOR then gave the " Health of her Ma.
jesty's Ministers."

:The ATTORNEY- GENERAL briefly acknowledged the com-
pliment. He was sure if any of the Cabinet Ministers had
been present, they would most cheerfully have echoed the
sentiments expressed by his Excellency the French Am-
bassador.

The LORD MAYOR next gave the " Health of the Bishop
of London," who shortly returned thanks, and proposed the
" Health of the Lord Mayor."
His LORDSHIP returned thanks, and gave tho " Health
of the Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of St. Paul's."
M. GUIZOT then gave the " Health of the Lady
Mayoress," which was received with great applause, and
acknowledged by the Lord Mayor.
The ladies then retired.
Several other toasts were given, and the company
separated shortly after eleven o'clock.
