ingredients with which the slow heating cauldron
was so profusely seasoned both beforehand and during
their progress by the present Government—despite the
unwarrantable way in which an illustrious name was pro-
frgately degraded to electioneering uses and trickery.
The sole exceptions to the comparative decency of the
demeanour which has generally prevailed during the pre-
sent contests in England and Wales, will be found
only in those boroughs or districts where the na-
tive populations are flooded with a turbid over-
flow of Irish labourers, and mendicancy, such as
Liverpool, Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton,
Wigan, &c. In these places only has the public peace
been outrageously invaded, unwilling votes canvassed,
shillelagh in hand, and adverse votes unsparingly retali-
ated with broken heads. From the unvarying regularity
with which club-law was resorted to durini, the elec-
tioneering process in the places cited, and the fact that
the brutal actors were as invariably and exclusively of
the lowest Irish rabble, a set of beings wearing the
human form but brutish as their own swine, it may be
reasonably inferred that so much system must have
had a head and leaders, for mobs simultaneously in ac-
tion on different and distant points cannot be the result
of concert among themselves, but of a curtain organiza-
tion of conspiracy which must have a chief somewhere.
Happily for Scotland her electioneering annals present
but one plague-spot of riot and outrage ; need we add
that Hawick and the Elliots were the disgraced, and, this
time, the defeated nuisance. If comparative order and
decency have generally been the characteristics of.: Eng-
lish and Scotch elections, far other have been the signs
of the times in Ireland. There the malignant genius of
O'Connell has its full swing.

We would particularly recommend to the Libera.
party in the following places to look well to the present
registration :—Exeter, Woodstock, Deal, and Laun.

On dit that the Queen has heard of the vain
boast of Sir Robert, that, if he came into power, he would
make her a Tory (a Conservative, as he said) in six
weeks ; and that the Baronet is, consequently, more dis-
liked than ever at head-quarters.----Globe•
FIELD-DAY IN HYDE PARK.—This morn-
ing the first and second battalions of the Scots Fusilier
Guards had a grand field-day in Hyde Park. A finer or
healthier body of men never entered 'the field, and
the regiment went through a variety of evolutions
and manoeuvres with great precision, concluding with a
grand feu de joie. Colonel Hutchison commanded the
regiment, and we observed on the ground Colonels Drum-
mond, Knox, Montague, &c. A sad accident occurred
during the manoeuvre, and it is much to be regretted
that the cause of the accident should have been
allowed to exist, namely, the want of properly
keeping the ground. Towards the conclusion of the
evolutionscone of the aides-de-camp, in galloping from
one battalion to the other, unfortunately trampled down
two infant children, who were dreadfully injured. They
were instantly conveyed to St. George's hospital, where
one has since died, and the other lies in a dangerous state.
Immediately after the accident, two men from each com-
pany were ordered out to keep the ground clear.
There is a vacancy in the North Riding of
Yorkshire, occasioned by the death of Lord Feversham,
whose eldest son, the Hon. William Duncombe, repre-
sented that division of the county in the last Parlia-
ment, and was re-elected a few days since. He is now,
consequently, Lord Feversham. The late Baron was
in his 77th year, and married Lady Charlotte Legge,
aunt of the Earl of Dartmouth. The present Peer is in
his 46th year, and married in December, 1823, Lady
Louisa Stewart, daughter of the Earl of Galloway, by
whom he has a large family, his eldest son and heir be-
ing now in his 16th year.
DREADFUL DESTITUTION.— On Saturday
afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the
Throwsters' Arms, Essex .street, Whitechapel, on the body of
Sarah Salter, aged 46. It appeared from the evidence of
Sarah Salter, the daughter of the deceased, that the deceased
had lately been in a very ill state of health, and had also been
thrown into such extreme poverty that she was in want of the
common necessaries of life. On Wednesday last all the
food she was able to procure was a halfpenny-worth of
bread and half a pint of beer, which the poor creature shared
with her daughter, who was living with her. The only
means they had of getting a living was by making shirts,
the remuneration they received for which was' fourpenee
each shirt. Deceased and witness sat up on Thursday
morning at work till one o'clock, when they went to bed
deceased complaining of a pain in her head. About seven
o'clock in the morning witness awoke, and found her mother
lying lifeless by her side. It was here stated to the Coroner
that the parochial authotities of Whitechapel, where de-
ceased and her daughter lived, had, about four months since,
stopped certain relief which the poor creature had been in
the habit of receiving every week, and had also subsequently
refused to pass them to their own parish (Islington). It
appearing that there were strong grounds for supposing such
to be the fact, the Foreman of the Jury declared that, as it
seemed the deceased had died from want of proper and suffi-
cient food, of which she had been deprived, he could not con-
sent to give any verdict until it was shown whether or not the
parochial authorities were to blame. '1 he whole of the Jury
expressing the same feeling upon the subject, the inquest was
adjourned for the production of evidence relative to the con-
duct of the parish officers.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—lnformation has been
received at the various metropolitan police stations, that various
orders of knighthood, with a large amount of sovereigns and
articles of valuable jewellery, &c., have within the last four
days most mysteriously disappeared from the apartments at the
Queen's Hotel, at Cheltenham, in the occupation of Major-
General Sir Willoughby Cotton, who has but recently returned
from the East Indies. Amongst the property missing is a
Grand Cross of the Military Order of the Bath, with the badge
and brilliant star attached ; a Commander's Grand Cross of
the Dooranee Order; a green and red ribbon with a star, hav-
ing a Persian motto in the centre, surrounded by large pearls,
and four diamonds set in gold (Commander's Order) ; a star
and fudge of the Hanoverian Order of the Guelph ; a purse
containing fifty-seven sovereigns and a 51. Bank of England
note, two neck pins, white enamel with green and gold guard
pin, with a case of letters and valuable papers.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—On Saturday
morning, about five o'clock, on the workmen employed on the
premises of 111 r. Duncan, engineer and millwright in the. Blue
Anchor. road, Bermondsey, coming to their work, they dis-
covered the body of. James Thompson, one of the turners and
vicemen, also employed there, suspended by a piece of rope
from one of the beams in the engine-room. He was imme-
diately cut down, and surgical assistance sent for, but be was
quite dead. No cause can be assigned for the committal of
the rash act, as he was a most industrious and sober man, and
on quitting his house at two o'clock, after his dinner, he kissed
his wife and children, and told his wife that she need not
sit up for him, as he should remain at work all night. He
was about forty years of age, and bas left a widow and five
children.

We understand that a pension of three hundred
pounds a year upon the civil list has been granted to Mr.
Snow Harris, of Plymouth, the distinguished chemist and
electrician, and the inventor of the apparatus for preserving
ships from lightning.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Saturday morning,
about twelve o'clock, a large hayrick, containing upwards of
thirty loads, the property of Mr. Edgerton, farmer, of South-
end, near romley, in Kent, caught fire, in consequence, it is
supposed, of being stacked too green, and nearly the whole is
destroyed..
The King of Bavaria has permitted the Rev. Dr.
Doyle, of London, to collect, up to September next, in the
Bavarian States, subscriptions for the building of a Catholic
church in London. The King has'subseribed 1,000 florins for
this purpose from his privy purse.
DEATHS IN THE LONDON HOSPITAL.—
On Saturday two inquests were held by Mr. Baker, the coro-
ner, at the London Hospital. The first concerned the death of
Richard Stevens, aged 12 years. On Friday morning deceased,
with some schoolfellows was riding behind a timber waggon
which was proceeding along the Commercial-road, when the
driver went towards them and desired them to get down. The)
immediately did so, and while deceased was running to the
footpath, be was knocked down by the step of a cart which was
passing, and the wheel passed over his breast before ' the
driver could crop. He was removed to the London Hospital.
and died of the injuries in two hours. The second inquest
was on the body of David Giles, aged 42. According to the
evidence, it appeared that on Friday morning last deceased
was erni'loyed in digging ice from the vaults of Mr. Rhodes.
in Hackney-road. lt was necessary to ascend to the vault
from a well beneath, and enter by a trap-door in the fluor.
Deceased had done so, and was pulling out the ice to pass it
to those below, when an immense quantity above gave way and
fell upon him; in consequence, the witnesses said, of the
manner in which deceased had been digging, a great portion of
the foundation having been removed. When extricated his
body exhibited a shocking appearance, nearly every bone hav-
ing been broken. He was removed to the above hospital, and
died in two hours. Verdicts of" Accidental death" were re-
turned
in both cases.

warded to the Government by the Municipality. The.
Constitutional of Barcelona, in its account of the above
affair, states that the French sailors were drunk, and
were conducted on board their boat by the Alcalde and
his officers. In performing this duty the Alcalde
dropped his wand of office into the boat, and jumped in
to recover it, followed by an inhabitant of the town. The
sailors pulled off with all their might, taking the officer
and his companion with them. The patrol, fearing the
consequences, were levelling their pieces at the sailors,
but the Alcalde, by signs, prevented their firing. When
the boat was clear of the shore the crew began to beat
the Magistrate and his friend, who perhaps saved their
lives by jumping overboard and swimming to land.
Seven more French sailors being found on shore, were
arrested and imprisoned. Two days afterwards the
affair was settled by suitable satisfaction being given by
the French Consular Agent, who, in answer to a written
representation of the Alcalde, assured him that the
offenders should be punished with the utmost severity.
We are happy in being able to announce that
Mr. West, the Member for Dublin, was so far recovered on
Tuesday as to he able, without suffering any inconvenience, to
vote at Kilmainham for the Conservative candidates.—Dublin
