The Aberdeen 'Herald of last Tuesday in a
second edition supplies the following intelligence regarding
the elections: .-" The poll has closed and the general re-
sult is such as to satisfy all Liberal moderates. The six
gentlemen esho have been returned to the Council may be
thus classified - four Whigs, two Tories, five Moderates,
one Non Intrusionist. But the bare result is not suffi-
cient to indicate the triumph that has been gained over the
Non. intrusion faction. The circumstances under which
they carried their single man, and the miserable appear-
ance they made. in the first and second wards, show plainly
that we have not been wrong in giving the great majority of
our fellow-citizens credit for enough of shrewdness and
common sense to keep them separate from the wild men.

WINDson, Nov. 4.—This morning her Ma-
jest.,'s staghounds met at Sandpit Gate, in the Groat
Pails, by express desire of his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert,who, attended by Lord Kinnaird,. Master of the Buck..
hounds, Colonel Wylde, Equerry to his Royal Highness,
and Mr. George E. Anson, joined the hunt soon after ten
o'clock, notwithstanding the state of the weather. A hind
was soon found, near the lodge in the Long Walk, which,
after making a circle by the statue, Holly Grove, and Cran-
bourne Lodge, was taken at the entrance to the cavalry ex-
ercising ground, at Spital, after a very fast run of about 30
minutes. Although the meet was intended to be private,
a numerous Lld assembled at the app3inted hour, amongst
whom were the Earl of Uxbridge ; Lords Paget, Mired
Paget, George Paget, and W. Beresford ; Sir W. W.
Wynn and Harvey Bruce ; Captains Parker, Hall, and
Bulks-ley (Ist Life Guards); Messrs. Lovell, Fitzroy (60th
listl,s), Cavendish, Tuurer, &c.
A Correspondent...has reminded us of the follow-
ing facts, which may he interesting at this moment. In
the year 1797 the Commanding Officer of an Infantry
Regiment having, in the face of the enemy, incurred
the severe displeasure of Sir Eyre Coots, and being dis-
missed the service, called Sir Eyre out on his return to
England; but S.r Eyre handed him over immediately
to a Bow.strect officer. It is true that the Marquis of
Londonderry went out with Mr. Battier, of the 10th
Hussars ; but on that occasion the Duke of York issued an,
order, which is still in force, forbidding all colonels to go
out with officers dismissed the service; and disobedience of
that order by a Commanding Officer would bo

SHOCKING AFFAIR.--.A young wo man, named
Mary Hill, nineteen years of age, has been for some tinsel
past living as a servant of all work with Mr. Watson, a
bonnet manufacturer in Aldgate. On the evening of
Nednesday she was at tea in her master's kitchen with the
rrand-bay, a lad named George Parker, aged fourteen.
Daring their tea the boy drew from his pocket a small
quantity of cantharides and presented one to the girl Hill,
telling her to swallow it, as it would produce a very agree-
ableot Sensation. Site refused, when he a"einplehdortly

AERIAL GUY FAWKES.—Last evening
AN
five and six o'clock, a mschiue, about twelve feet

constructed of tisme, filled with hydrogen in height,
gas,
and representing the figure (if Guy Fawkes, ascended
from the grounds of a gentleman in the City-road. 'rhis
apparition, as it may be justly termed, rose in a perpendi-
cular manner, and the action of the wind upon the arms
and legs gave it all the effect of a person wa:king in the
air. It pureed its course in the direction of the City,
crossing the River into Kele, in some part of ahich it-is
supposed to have descended.
