REPRESENTATION OF ROSS AND CRO3IARTY.—We un-
derstand that a requisition is in course of signature by the
electors of the combined counties, soliciting Mr. Matheson,
M.P., on public and private grounds, to allow himself to be
put in nomination as a candidate for the representatiin of
Ross and Cromarty in the next Parliament. Mr. Mathescia
has more than once been applied to on this subject ; butt
we hear that it was only on the retirement of the late
Ministry, and the able exposition then given by Sir R. Peel, of
his views of the policy which the welfare of the country de-
mands for its future government, that ISIr. Matheson deemed
it a public duty, paramount to all personal considerations,
to comply with the wishes which had been addressed to him,
should these be concurred in, by a suitable portion of the
electors generally. We have no doubt they will; and these
counties will thus have au opportunity of declaring their
sentiments on the recent great and liberal reform of our
commercial laws so successfully carried through by Sir
Robert Peel, and on those principles of government and
legislation at length adopted and avowed by him as neces-
sary for the future safety and well-being of the country.—

We read in a letter from Pesth (iTunrzarv)—" A re-
spectable woman, named Witrewlewsky, residing at Pesth,
went last year to Kleinzell, to be present at the Fete Dieu,
and took her daughter, a child of about eiglit e cars of age,
with her. The child strayed away, and the mother, after
seeking for her for a length of time, returned home, in great
grief. This year again she went to Kleinzell, and one day,
in passing along a street, heard a child crying. which re
minded her of her little girl's voice. She hurtied to the
spot, and, in fact, there beheld her daughter, but. in a most
deplorable condition : she was nearly naked, and black with
filth; and with both her eyes out ! She was• hold-
irg out a wooden cup to receive alms. Behind her
was an old woman, who, at the moment that Madame
Witrewlewski attempted to speak to the child, pushed her
back, declaring that the girl belonged to her. The mother,
with great emotion, cried out that it was her child, and that
she must have her. A crowd collected, and the old woman
was taken into custody. When brought before a magistrate,
she at first persisted in asserting that she bad found the
child in its present state of blindness in the streets, and had,
given her shelter; but afterwarts when pressed with ques-
tionS, she acknowledged that she rete the year before en iced
the child away and forced out her eves with a knife, in order•
to enable) lre'rEcrekcite-coliffilZsiii-aiTel obiain ri ore aleindant
alms in begging. She was immediately committed for trial.
