WARD of FARR INGDON WIT HOU T

ELECTION OF COMMON COUNCILMEN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sias,—The principle on which the Liberals of this
ward have acted at this election, has been that of " free
trade." The point was to drive out the Monopolists, and,
though this has not been attained yet, they are placed
at the bottom of the poll ; at all former elections these five
Monopolists were at the top. So secure were they of
being returned at former contests, that they never can-
vasse ; but now, notwithstanding the great esteem in
which they are held, notwithstanding a very active and
personal canvass by all the leading Tories of the Ward,
notwithstanding great numbers of the Liberal party
voted for them, notwithstanding the want of tact
amongst the Liberals, these five Monopolists are beaten
by the friends of Free Trade ; they now say—" We have
no chance of again being returned unless we vote for the
abolition of the Corn-laws.

The result of the election is eleven Free Trade-men,
and five Monopolists.
You will confer a benefit on Commercial Reform by
an insertion of this in your highly valuable and talented
P4Per.—l. am, Sir, your very obedient servant,

The Incorporated Society of the Literary Vund
have sustained two severe losses within the last few weeks,
in the deaths of Mr. ex-Alderman Birch, the senior
Member of its Council, and we believe the senior Mem.
ber, of the Society itself; and of Mr. Rivington, the
well-known and respectable publisher, of St. Paul's
Church-yard. But, judging from the additions it
•,received last year, by the election into its Commit-
tee of such persons as the three last chosen—we
mean Lord Fitzalan, the Reverend 11. 11. Milman,
and the Reverend 1)r. Russell, the Rector of Bishops-
gate, it would seem as if the new blood infused into
this most useful and least obtrusive of our public
institutions was, in every respect but length of services,
alone likely to increase its utility. Among the candi-
dates already named for the two vacancies thus created,
we are told the following gentlemen have presented
themselves—The Rev. Dr. Major, of King's College ;
Mr. Samuel Lover', the poet, artist, and painter - Mr.
Auldjo ; Mr. Charles Whiting ; and Mr. James Wralsh,
the Chairman of the Tower Hamlets Court of Session.

Died in Ayr, on the 14th instant, Mr.- James
Tannock, formerly musician there, aged 99 years and
eight months.

HORRIBLE MURDER.
(Abridged from the Dublin Pilot of Wednesday.)
The inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Upper Bag-
got-street and Pembroke-road were on Monday evening
thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and alarm,
in consequence of the discovery of a shocking murder,
which took plate between six and seven o'clock on that
evening. It was 'perpetrated in a stable-lane at the rear
of Pembroke-road. The unfortunate victim is a boy,
apparently between ten and eleven years of age ; and,
judging from the apparel which covered the body at the
time it was discovered, he evidently belonged to an hum-
ble class of society. He was however, a fine handsome boy,
with curly hair of a light colour. Although crowds of
persons visited the body yesterday, no person recognised
it. The throat was cut from ear to ear, and a large con-
tused wound on his forehead. Inspectors Finnamore,
Carmody, and Durham, are very active in their exertions
to trace the murderer ; and a person named John Dela-
hunt is in custody, on suspicion of being concerned in the
foul deed. It must be recollected that this person was
one of the witnesses. against Cooney, the tinker, who
was tried for the murder of the Italian. He swore that
he saw the murder committed ; but his statement
was not credited at the time. He is a young man about
twenty years of age.
On Tuesday, at one o'clock, Dr. M'Carthy, County
Coroner, with the Jury, assembled at Mr. Fleming's, in
Upper Baggot-street, and proceeded with
