how far the assertion of the Tory scribes, that "
Radicals had been everywhere put to complete rout; '
was true or the reverse. In consequence of Lord Howick's
remarks on Duke Smithson's manceuvering, I also added
one county, North Northumberland. The result appears
that the Tories have gained 29 seats ; in all of which
(with two exceptions, 'Westminster and Northumber-
land), their majorities have been under fifty. It further
comes out that they have only a majority of 471, in
27 contested seats, where the total number of electors
qualified to poll amounts to 22,461. Westminster and
North Northumberland give them a majority of 142, on
a constituency of 18,531.
It does not argue quite so unanimous an opinion in
favour of Doctor Peel, that in Bedford, Cambridge, Can-
terbury, and Lancaster, containing about seven thousand
electors, the Tory majority was only 10, 13, 9, and 16.
Compare these results with the glorious majorities in
Marylebone, the Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, and Green-
wich, and surely the Liberals have no just reason to be
afraid that the enemies of the people will ultimately be
able to prevail.

The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of
the Incorporated General Steam Navigation Company
was held yesterday at the office of the Company in Lom-
bard-street. The Chair was taken by Wolverly Attwood,
Esq., at two o'clock. The report and half-yearly ac-
counts were read, and appeared to afford general satis-
faction. The dividend was declared, and after voting
the cordial thanks of the Proprietors to the Chairman
and Directors, the meeting separated.
ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PAR-
LIAMENT.—This morning, about half-past seven o'clock,
as George Butler, a bricklayer's labourer, was at work at
the building ot the new Houses of Parliament, a mass of
stone, weighing between three and four tons, fell upon
him ; he was with much difficulty extricated from un-
derneath the ponderous load, and was found to be dread-
fully injured, particularly his right arm, which is so se-
verely shattered, that it is greatly feared amputation will
become necessary. He was removed to Westminster
Hospital. '

An official letter has been received at Castlebar
Gaol, announcing that the law must take its course rela-
tive to the persons sentenced to be hanged for the mur-
der of Hallinan at Claremorris. Stanford, ex-policeman,
relied on the recommendation to mercy, but the Execu-
tive could not, under the circumstances, commute the
sentence. Stanford, and the woman Mary Hallinan, had
conspired to murder the husband of the female, which
they perpetrated, in order to gratify an illicit amour.
Friday, the 24th of September, is the day named for
Stanford's execution. The sentence of death on the
woman will not, in consequence of her pregnancy, be
carried into effect until after next Assizes.

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE CONCERTS
D'ETE.—Last night this Theatre was elegantly and
fashionably attended. The Tableaux Vivans have been
considerably improved, and are received with great ap-
plause. Among the company we noticed the Countesses
of Charleville, raulet, Essex ; Ladies Cavendish, Beckett,
Anstruther, Hon. Mrs. Leicester Stanhope ; Lords Lis-
burne, Camoys, Cantelupe, Fitzclarence, &c. &c.

PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 29.—The Pique fri-
gate, Captain Yates, arrived at Spithead last night to
receive the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, ap-
pointed to the command in the West Indies and North
America. The Pique will receive the flag to-morrow,
and sail forthwith. The Belvidera frigate of 38 guns
was commissioned this morning by Captain George Grey.
The Electra, 18, Commander Gosling, sailed yesterday
for the West Indies. She has returned again to Spit-
head to wait further orders.

The Droitstates that r few days ago , a gentle•
man who rented a gaiden with a pretty pavilion, outside one
of the barriers, but who had been absent for some months, re-
turne to Paris, and invited some friehds to go on the follow-
ing morning with him to see his garden and breakfast there.
He gave orders to his servants accordingly, and next morning,
on arriving, found the pavilion open, and two cooks in the
kitchen busy in preparing a splendid breakfast. The cooks
said they did not expect the party so soon, but would hasten
their preparations, and having done so, the tenant and his
friends sat down to a breakfast, at which the choicest wines
had not been forgotten. Just as they had finished, three
coaches drove up to the gate, and another party, for whom
the breakfast had really been intended, made their appear-
ance. They consisted of the owner of the house, and several
dandies and ladies of the opera, whom he had invite d. It ap-
pears that the owner, notexpecting the return of his tenant so
soon, had taken the liberty of using his house in leis absence,
without recollecting to apprise him of the fact at :the period
when the rent was paid to him by his agent, and the tenants
own servants had not carried his orders into effect. ',The ladies
are stated to have been furious.

NOVEL RAILWAY EXCURSION.--Chi Mon-
day morning, at eleven o'clock, several hundred persons
were observed to emerge from the London termi nus of
the Birmingham Railway. Being nearly two hours be-
fore the usual arrival of the first train, the circumstance
excited much attention, and on inquiry it was ascer-
certained that they had arrived by a special train, which
Iral left Birmingham at six o'clock, and had been engaged
by the Mechanics' Institute of that town to cons -ey to
London 500 persons, composed of mechanics and. Citeisr
families, on very advantageous terms. The above 1 u. 1.--
ties will return on Wednesday evening, and array ige-
ments have been made for their visiting (free of expe rise),
the Collosseum, Zoological Gardens in the liege: at's-
park, the Royal Gallery, Lowther Arcade, the Ur Red
Service Institution, and some other exhibitions. The
whole charge for the trip to London and back, inclu ding
the admission to the several places of amusement, is only
225, each person.
GERMAN RAILROADS..---A letter from B aden
states that the railway on the left bank of the Rhi me is
proceeding with activity. At Carlsruhe they have com-
menced the works on the place where the statton.
to be fixed, outside the Ettlingen gate. On the 16th
inst., a contract for furnishing 80,000 quin tals
rails was adjudged to Messrs. Ilmsch bi -others,
at Duren, between Cologne and Aix-la-Cl tapelly:,
at 171. sc. the 50 kilogrammes, to be delivt wed at
Manheim. The number of offers were considerable, fr( int
Germany, Belgium, England, and even from S wed en.
The rails for the line from Manheim to Heidelberg cost
22f. 30c. the kilogramme, the difference in this y2rice
causing a saving to the Baden Government of mem. than.
400,0001. The section from Kehl to Appenwigh, is ad-
vancing rapidly; that from Heidelberg to Carlsru be, it is
thought, will be opened about the end of 1843.
The Duchess of Kent steamer left Ramsg ate yes-
terday morning at nine o'clock with about 200 passen-
gers, met with an accident soon afterwards, and her ma-
chinery got out of order. The vessel came up a grekt
part of the voyage with only one engine gc dug, the
other being totally disabled, and she made a teli9us
passage of eleven hours before she made he T appear-
ance at London-bridge-wharf, where she la ndec 1 her
passengers a few minutes past eight o'clock la st n ight.
The detention of the Duchess of Kent, which is-. a le of
the most regular steamers on the Thames, and g 'ene-
rally makes the voyage between London and Re rut gate
in six or seven hours, caused some alarm among 'le nu-
merous persons waiting for their friends and relatr.vc :s on
the wharf.
