RIOT AT HAWICK.

At the polling at Hawick on Thursday, some
disturbance took place, in consequence of the
mob breaking the windows of the Tower Inn, and
hustling and annoying the electors of both parties
as they came forward to the polling booth.
About thirty of the police of Edinburgh were sent
out, for the purpose of preserving the peace, under
the orders of Sergeant P. Mackay, and they were
required by the Sheriff, to prevent the mob from
breaking the windows of the inn. They accord-
ingly proceeded to act under the orders of
the Sheriff, but it was evident to the authorities
that their single force could not put down the
riot, and, accordingly, a despatch was sent for a
troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who were sta-
tioned about three miles from the town. The
dragoons were speedily brought to Hawick,
headed by the Marquis of Lothian, and, by
their great coolness and good discipline, dis-
persed the mob without any injury being done
to any one. Similar disturbances occurred
on Friday afternoon, with rather more aggra-
vated circumstances. As the Edinburgh po-
lice officers were leaving the town, bottles,
brick-bats, and other missiles, were thrown at
the omnibuses in which the men were seated,
and, had they not been protected by the dra-
goons,'it is probable that some of them would
have been seriously hurt. The affray became so
serious that the Sheriff considered it necessary
to read the Riot Act, and to warn the people of
their improper conduct. The dragoons were
ordered to clear the streets, which they effected
without any injury to the people, and no further
disturbance took place.—Scotch Paper.

LAF kYETTE.—I saw General Lafayette to-day,
and never felt more disappointed, as his appearance does
not at all correspond with what I had imagined it to be.
The " Lafayette aux chcveur blancs," as the popular song
describes him to be, is, au contraire, a plain old man,
with a dark brown scratch wig, that conceals his fore-
head, and, consequently, gives a very common and, to
my thinking, a disagreeable expression to his counte-
nance.—Lady Blessington's Idler in France.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.—Those mag-
nates of the press, our stamped diurnal and weekly Con-
temporaries, are eternally bragging of the wondrouP,
not-to-be-equalled rapidity with which their gigantic
resources enable them (exclusively) to cater for the
public. That there is frequently a vast deal more
bounce than truth in this we believe, and indeed know.
Here is (to us) an amusing case in point. In the
Gazette for May 29th last we inserted a startling ac-
count of the " Execution and Extraordinary Resuscita-
tion of a Murderer, at Louisville, United States. This
originally appeared in, and was by us extracted from
the New York Herald. We did so, not as a matter of
intelligence, for we know sufficient of the " pains and
penalties" of Somerset House to guard ourselves against
that ; but as being undoubtedly the most extraordinary
case ever recorded in the annals of science, of the won-
ders of galvanism—the body of the murderer (John
White) having been experimentalized upon by medical
men, after it had been suspended for twenty minutes, the
neck broken by the fall, and, to all appearance, life ex-
tinct, yet even after all this, the " vital spark" was for a
brief space recalled ! The particulars of this experiment
appeared, we repeat. in the Gazette for May 29 ; imagine,
then, the amusement with which, during the past week, we
have beheld this " old acquaintance" of ours " going the
round" of our " big brethren" of the stamped, as a piece
of exclusive intelligence, which, with astonishing ra-
pidity, they road transferred from the other side of the
Atlantic. Our especial favourite, the Globe, claims the
merit of being " first in the race," having inserted it in
its columns Saturday, July 3d instant ; that is, only
thirty-four days after its publication in the Gazette On
Sunday, out came the Dispatch, and some of the small
fry of weeklies, with the same dish of horrors. Tues-
day the 7'imes thundered it forth ; Wednesday, the
Chronicle retailed it ; and, for aught we know, on
Thursday, the Post by the same means made the hair
of many a lady's maid "stand on end." How do we
know that the autumnal visitors to bathing and water-
ing-places may not beguile the tedium of some wet
morning, three months hence, with the same recital ? for,
by that time, if it keep the same rate of progress as
hitherto, it will, "we reckon," reach the County Chro-
nicles, Guardians, and Expresses."•—Cleave's Penny Ga-
zette.

THE STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT,--In connec-
tion with this long-lost vessel, there is this curious fact.
Since her departure hence, we have received informa-
tion of no less than six large steam-ships, or men of
war, having been seen at sea in a disabled condition, and
have not heard a single instance of any attempt made to
affcrd them relief. There is a reason for this. When a mer-
chant vessel sees at sea a shipwreck that has every appear •
ranee of a vessel of war, they invariably "cut and run" from
them, as they would from the plague. They do so, because
they are convinced that if the crew of the wrecked man of
war, numbering perhaps two or three hundred souls, had
become desperate for food, they would unhesitatingly
lay violent hands on all the provisions the merchantman
had, under the " law" that " might is right," and the
poor merchant Captain sent to Jericho. We do not be-
lieve that ever a man-of-war was relieved by a merchant
vessel, unless by force, or being near some port. This
explains, we think, why all large disabled vessels are
passed unheeded.—New York Paper.

CANVASSING ON THE M0011S.—" Feyther,"
said a farmer's strapping wench, on his return last week
from Rochdale market to his sheep farm in the moors of
Spotland, "Feyther, there's bin a felley beer sin' yo'
wen'n off this 'mornin." " Well, an' wot did he want ?"
asked the farmer, " Want !—he sed he wanted yo'r
suff'rins for a Member of Parliament." " The dule he
did ?—but yo gan him none, I gewse ?" " Nowe, mi
mother sed we hadno' one i'th' heawse, for yo'd'n ta'cn
'em o'to Roby Bank, at Ratchda." " Well, an' wot sed
lie then ?" " Sed !—he set up a gurd o' laighin' as iv
he'd ha' brasteel, till I legit th' dogg lose, an' then he ran
like owd Nick ; but'he laaft bwoth covet laps be'ind him."
—Manchester Chronicle.

A FULL PRICE RADICAL BAKER.—Arnong
other instances of sudden conversion which took place
during the late contest for Cheltenham, the case of
a baker stands conspicuous. This nian signed the
requisition to Mr. Gardner,—promised his vote to Mr.
Gardner, when that gentleman waited on him—was in
and out of the Blue Committee-room two or three
times a-day during the canvass—brealcfasted at Mr.
Gardner's expense on the morning of the polling-day,
—at half-past one o'clock of the same day, took lunch
and sherry with Mr. Gardner's agents at the York
Hotel—and, at two o'clock of the same day, voted for
Mr. Craven Berkeley 1 This looks much more like a
bribery case than that of poor Potts, so ostenta-
tiously brought forward on the hustings by Mr. Berkeley
himself. The baker's price has been guessed at N.—
Cheltenham Paper.'.
ATTEMPTED ►SUICIDE BY THE LADY OF
AN OFFICEIL—WINDSOR, JULY 12.—Considerable ex-
citement was created in Adelaide-square, King's-road,
on the evening of Saturday last, by the report, that a
lady, who had been living with Lieutenant-Colonel
Glennie, of the 60th Rifles, for upwards of 20 years,
had attempted to commit suicide—and had nearly
effected her purpose—by hanging herself. It ap-
appears, that upon Colonel Glenmes returning home
from the barracks, between five and six o'clock in the
evening, he found the front door of his house in Adelaide-
sqUare fastened. The Colonel broke into the house
through the window on the ground-floor, and upon his
proceeding up stairs discovered the female (who is about
forty years of age), suspended by a rope from the bed-
post, black in the face, motionless, and apparently dead.
She was instantly cut down, medical aid obtained with-
out a moment's delay, and after the lapse of some time
she was fortunately restored. The cause of her having
attempted self-destruction is attributed to the circum-
stance of the Colonel being about to espouse a widow
lady of considerable property, residing in Clarence-
crescent.

A LITERARY PRISONER.-A few days since
the chaplain of Lewes gaol found one of the female pri-
soners indulging her literary taste in reading Scott's de-
lightful novel of " The Heart of Midlothian"--a very
appropriate work for a young female, who, from the
nature of her case, was a second "Effie Deans." The
book was of course taken away, and an inquiry instituted
as to how she became possessed of it.
