WUKTEMBERG.

The town of Wurtemberg has been thrown into
consternation and movement, by the bruited approach
of a band of democrats from Prance. A letter from
Tubingen, of the 24th, estimates them at 20,000; one
from Ulm, of the 25th, at 40,000. These exaAge-
rated statements have roused all Wurtemberg to
arms, and spread the greatest alarm. The alarm is
completely unfounded, however, and an official order,
dated Carlsruhe the 26th instant, makes a statement
to that effect.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
BODMIN.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Sergeant KINULAZE then proceeded to disclose
the details of the joint case of bribery and treating,
which the petitioner alleged against both the sitting
Members. The first act of bribery committed by Mr.
Wyld was the presentation of a number of valuable maps
to the ♦arious institutions of Bodmin, which was subse-
quently followed up for some time previous to and dur-
ing the election by the most extravagant treating. All
the public-houses of Bodmin were thrown open to the
electors, regardless of expense ; but it did not appear
that Mr. Lacy joined in this system of lavish treating
till the day of polling, when by previous arrangement,
a St. refreshment ticket was given to every elector who
voted for either Mr. Wyld or Mr. Lacy. There could
be no doubt, therefore, that both the sitting Members
had been guilty of corrupt treating, and after hearing
the evidence he was sure the Committee would have no
hesitation in unseating the lion. Gentlemen.
The Learned SERGEANT then called for the pro.
duction of. Mr. Wyld's title-deeds, in pursuance of the
Notice to produce, but
Mr. WORDSWORTH contended that the notice to
produce was informal.
The Committee, however, decided that it was not.

Mr. WORDSWORTH declined to produce the deeds.
Secondary evidence was then adduced to prove that
Mr. Wyld did not 'possess any property either in St.
James's or in Stockport.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till eleven
o'clock to-morrow.

GENERAL COMMITTEE OF
ELECTIONS.

The nomination of the Leicester and Cheltenham
Committees was postponed till Monday. In both these
cases the recognizances are alleged to be informal, and
the sitting Members obtained the adjournment to enable
them to pray in aid Mr. Stuart Wortley's Bill for
giving Election Committees jurisdiction to decide the
validity or invalidity of the recognizances as a prelimi-
nary point.
The appointment of the Dublin, Longford, and Wal-
sall Committees, which stood for Monday next, are
postponed for a week.

LONDON, FRIDAY. MARCH 31, 184 8.

Without presuming to pronounce a mere panegyric
upon that FOURTH ESTATE of which we ourselves are
a member, we must be permitted—if only from jus-
tice to a departed journalist who was for some consi-
derable time, and until very recently, one of our
most distinguished contemporaries,—to make parti-
cular allusion to a scheme which, according to the
prospectus of its projectors, is intended to constitute
an act of " public respect and gratitude " to the Press
of the United" Kingdoms. The scheme is simply a
testimonial to the memory of a remarkable man ; in
other words, the erection of a monument to comme-
morate the enterprise, the perseverance, and the
intellect of the late Jour; WALTER through
whose individual efforts the steam engine was first

day was rendered consonant to the demands of an
extraordinary age and an unprecedented generation.
" Though we have in England," says the prospectus
to which we have already referred, and which pro-
spectus is literally composed of the " resolutions"
carried at a meeting convened in Bloomsbury, on
Monday the 28th of February, 1848, with Lulu!
JAMES HANSARD as chairman,—" Though we have
in England," observes this prospectus, " numerous
and splendid monuments to poets, philosopkers, states-
men, heroes, and other great men, not a soli-
tary stone has yet been raised by the public
to the memory of a newspaper proprietor or
editor—confessedly the men who give the form and
pressure to the age in which we live,' and many of
whom, in learning, ability, firmness, character, enter-
prise, and even riches, are comparable with the first
names in British history." Such is the language of
a resolution emanating from •the spontaneous *Mu-

GAS LIGHT—PURE as a BRILLIANT
METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY.

Gas Fittings and Golden Gas Burners—Thousands desire Gas-
light—lts simplicity, power of light, and economy recommend it ;
but to burn Gas without injury to health is the grand object. Gas
burning from the Fish-tall, Batswing, and Argand Burners Is ex-
tremely pernicious—Not one in tea thousand knows its ill effects—
Gas burning from these burners generates an acid which positively
eats holes in steel—What then must it do to the constitution ?—The
Golden and Comet Gas-burners annihilate all difficulties —The Light
is the gem of light—The obnoxious effluvia arising from Gas-light is
absorbed—Gas and Oxygen are properly united, what more can be
done ?—All who regard health will lay aside their present Gas-
burners. Those who require Gas-fittings can make their choice from
a vast variety of Chandeliers, Hall-lanthorns, Brackets, Pendants,
&e., &c., all ready for immediate fixing with the Golden or Comet
Burners—All Gas Fittings at wholesale charges, 40 per cent. under
the exorbitant charges usually made. Contracts entered Into in any
part of the kingdom.

Resident Manager, 447, West Strand.

HORSHAM.

The Earl of MARCH moved that the Clerk of the
Crown be directed to isoue a writ for the election of a
bnrgesa to serve in Parliament for Horsham.
Mr. HUME said if he had been enabled to bring on his
motion on this subject, it was his intention to have sug•
gested to the House the propriety of not only suspending
the writ for Horsham, but for every place the election
for which had been declared to be void, on account of
bribery and treating by Committees of the House until
further inquiry, by newly-appointed Committees had
been made into the allegations. He considered such a
course
absolutely necessary if the House wished to
maintain its character before the country, and
if they wished to discountenance such pro-
ceedings as those which had been proved to have
taken place at Horsham and other places they must take
upon themselves the task of doing so, for they could not
expect individual Members to go to tho expense 'of
doing so.—(llcar, hear.) From the evidence taken
hetore the Horsham Committee ii appeared that the peti-
tioning candidate stated that having got what he wanted,
i
he did not wish to proceed to any furtherinquiry into
the allegations of the petttion. He had thought that
ll4rwich, which was an extreme case, should have been
made an example for the proceedings that had taken
place, interfered with t he free representation of the people
in that House. From the evidence to which he had
referred, it appeared, according to the testimony of one
witness, that the night before the election, about 160
out of the 300 persons who voted, were kept drinking
and listening to music until four the next morning.
Surely this was derogatory to the character of the House.
lie felt it his duty to move as an amendment to
the motion of the Noble Lord, " that in all cases
where Committees of this Housee have declared
the seat of any Honourable Member void through bri-
bery or treating, this House will with a view of promoting
purity of election, suspend the issue. of any new writ until
,a Select Committee had entered into an

PORTUGAL.

We have received Lisbon letters of the 22d ult.,
which contain nothing of particular interest.

The Duchess of PALMELLA died on the 20th at
five P.M., and the funeral procession was on its way
to the splendid family mausoleum recently erected in
the burial-ground of the Prazeres when the post left.
The body was conveyed in one of the royal carriages,
attended by the principal nobility, the archeiros, and
a squadron of lancers.

The steamer with the English mails of the 17th
had not reached Lisbon, where public tranquillity
had not been disturbed, and the Cortes had not been
sitting on account of the holidays.
London, England, 1848-05-04

LThe CHAIRMAN put the question, which was earikd
almost unanimously.
Mr. R. K. DOUGLAS, after a speech of considerable
length, proposed the following resolution:—" Thatibis
meeting is of opinion that these reforms wilhie liOst
-.effected by uniting the middle and working classesPindi
it Views with !great satisfaction the spontaneous desire' .I'l. q,
universally evinced by the intelligent men of all classes
to unite cordially in support of any movement in favour
of moderate reforms."

Mr. ASHFORD seconded the motion, 'which, after
speeches from Lieutenant Barrett, RN., and Mr. Blitz-
lend, was carried with only few dissentient voices.
Mr. PERKINS moved, and Mr. PHILLIPS seconded:—
" That this meeting pledges itself to support the Radical
Reform Members of the Rouse of Commons in any
legal and constitutional endeavour to effect a reform in
our present electoral system."
The whole of the meeting, including the most violent
Chartists, supported this resolution with acclamation.
Mr. BLYTHE moved the formation of an association,
to be called '. The Reform League," and the adoption
of a code of laws for its government.
This being adopted, and the officers for the ensuing
year appointed, the meeting broke up between three and
four o'clock.
