ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
PLYMOUTH.

Moxuav —The friends of Vincent are in high spirits this
morning. Mr. Vincent has had interviews with some " lead •
ing parties," who have engaged to aid his return. He has
seen, it is stated, several of the leading Dissenters and Wes-
leyans, who had pledged themselves not to support Lord
Ebrington on the ground of his Lordship's approval of the
Maynooth Bill ; and they have promised him that they will
not vete for or interest themselves on behalf of Lord Ebring-
ton—that they will be neutral ; he has also had an interview
with a deputation front the Chartists, but with what success
we have not been able t• learn. At half-past twelve o'clock
be addressed a large meeting, consisting principally of work-
ing men, at Caldown. The exposition of his views was
listened to with apparent satisfaction, and at the close of
his address three cheers were given for Vincent with hearty
goodwill.
Lord Ebrington's friends, confident of their strength, are
not making any effort whatever.
The election is appointed for Friday next.

DEVONPORT.
JULY G.—This morning the mayor, W. P. Blackmore, Esq.,
publicly read the writ and the precept of the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county for the election of a Member of Par-
liament. The election is appointed for Friday next, when
Sir G. Grey will be re-elected without opposition.

Her Majesty the Queen will give a grand entertain-
ment to his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and the several mem-
bers of his suite, to-morrow evening, at Buckingham Palace.
The royal invitation was received by the Pacha last evening.
His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from
the Bey of Tunis, and the attaches of his mission, are also
invited to partake of the royal hospitality.
Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker and Lord John

Hay have been appointed to the Board of Admiralty. Lord
Marcus Hill is to be Comptroller of the Household; and the
O'Conor Don one of the Lords of the Treasury.
Lord Fortescue will, it is said, accept the Lord
Stewardship of her Majesty's Household.
THE WOOL SEASON.—The setting-in of the wool
season is again effecting a change in the nature of the car-
goes of the Hamburgh steamers. The Queen of Scotland
last week had only room for two cows on deck, and the Helen
Macgregor, which arrived on Saturday last, was piled up
with as much wool as her tarpaulings would secure from the
sea, having no less than 800 bales on board. The Victoria
arrived on Tuesday morning with a full deck cargo of wool.

THE JAMAICA RAILWAY.—The traffic return of the
second quarter of this railway shows a decrease of 9,256 pas-
sengers, as compared with the first quarter, but an increase
in the goods traffic almost quadrupling the previous return.
The decrease is attributed to the effects of novelty at the first
opening, and the increased communication with Spanish
Town during the first quarter, owing to the sitting of the
Assembly.

SUDDEN DEATH BY DRINXING WHEN HEATED.—
We last week reported a death caused by drinking too much
water, and we are sorry to record a similar occurrence. On
Saturday week an Irish labourer, residing in Love-street,
while engaged in hoeing potatoes near Roslin, on the
Greenock-road, had been so thirsty, owing to the heat, that
he went into a public-house and got a bottle of porter, but
not feeling his thirst quenched, he next drank half a Scotch
pint of buttermilk, which caused almost instant death.—

NOVEL IMPORTATION.—A vessel, called the Freden,
which has arrived in the London Dock from Russia (Odessa)
in addition to a cargo of Russian tallow, had 1,250 bomb-
shells on board. So singular an importation is remarkable
and worthy of notice.
TREMENDOUS THUNDER. STORM AND Loss OF LIFE.—
WELLINGTON, MONDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday morning
a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning visited this
neighbourhood. and did much damage. The whole of Sa-
turday the weather was excessively sultry, but yesterday
morning a light breeze sprung up, and the sky being clear
and bright up to past eight o'clock, no thought of thunder
was entertained. Towards nine o'clock the heavens became
suddenly overcast, and numberless clouds were seen travers-
ing the sky with unusual rapidity, and in opposite directions.
Soon after nine o'clock the storm burst forth with terrific
fury. The forked lightning was distinctly visible even in
the glare of daylight, and at one time a stream of fire appa-
rently of the width of a man's body was seen darting to the
earth. The electric fluid at about a quarter-past nine o'cl'ek
struck a building occupied by the Independent body of
Dissenters as a Sunday school. The children were assembled
and had engaged in prayer and singing, when one of the
windows was suddenly dashed in, the wood work of the
frame being shivered in pieces, and seven or eight of the
children were thrown upon the ground. One poor fellow, a
lad of about 16 years old, named Edward Harcourt, was killed
upon the spot. The electric fluid penetrated his breast just
over the region of the heart, and passed out by his foot. He
was the son of poor parents, but a remarkably intelligent and
pious youth. Two others of the boys lie in a precarious state,
and one of them it is feared cannot recover. From accounts
brought into the town, I fear that we shall hear of accidents
in other places. At Taunton, Minety, Tiverton, and other
towns, the storm raged with fearful violence; and at the
Tiverton-road station of the Great Western Railway an
electric meteor darted across the line, near the telegraph,
within a minute or two of the passage of the first down
train.

E NEW MILITARY PRISON, ST. GEORGE'S BAR-
RACKS, TRAFALGAR.-SQUARE.—This prison is now com-
pleted, and will be transferred to the authorities this day.
All the prisoners will be confined in separate cells, under the
control of a provost-sergeant. Each cell is provided with a
hammock and bedding, a stool and table, as well as a
bell, that the prisoner may ring in case of illness or any
sudden emergency. During the day the hammock will be
removed.
CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. W.
Baker, jun., deputy-coroner, held an inquest at the Town of
Ramsgate, \Yapping, on the body of a new-born female child,
which was found in the river Thames on Saturday morning
last. It appeared from the evidence of Jas. Legon, the son of
a waterman, that on Saturday morning he was rowing off
Union-stairs, when he observed something floating astern
of a barge. He repaired to the spot, and found it to be the
body of a new-born infant, and conveyed it ashore in his
boat to Mr. Marshall, the beadle. Mr. Cooke, a surgeon, in
High-street, Wapping, had examined the body, and from the
appearance he should say it was born alive, and afterwards
drowned. The jury returned a verdict of" Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown."
ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT DEAL.—On Tues-
day afternoon a distressing accident occurred to one of our
leaving hovelling boats in the Downs. The boat Esperance, with a
plots
crewsa of four men, left here to visit the shipping on their pas-

the Queen Dowager. Dr. Burnet moved resolutions, ex-
pressive of approval of the praiseworthy exertions of the
matron and master of the Brixton Asylum for some years
past, and to which much of the efficiency of the school was
to be attributed, and that an increase in their respective
salaries be made to the amount of 451. per annum, which was
seconded by Mr. Knill. Mr. Lott and others having ex-
pressed their approval, the resolutions were carried. The
thanks of the meeting were voted to the Hon. W. Ashley,
for the interest manifested by him in the welfare of the
Society,. and his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings
teruunated.
