himself, in his speech at the repeal banquet at Dun-
dalk, bore the most honourable testimony to the cha-
racter and qualifications of Mr. REDINGTON. He said,
" I should be untrue in fact, and unjust in detail, if
I said one word derogatory to Mr. REDINGTON. I
say he is a gentleman—a Christian gentleman—
a gentleman of faith—a gentleman of vir-
tue. He is a gentleman of great value—
one of the first gentlemen in the country." And in
the course of his speech, he admitted, that "if any
man could be accepted as their representative who
had but one fault, it was Mr. REDINGTON ;" and,
also, that " if his son was in the majority, and the last
vote was polled, that he would use the influence
which he possessed over his son, and withdraw him
from the contest, ifMr. REDINGTON would declare him-
self a repealer." Here, then, we have the most entire
approval of all Mr. REDINGTON'S political views, save
on one question, which its warmest advocates must
admit to be quite impracticable, at least during the
continuance of the present Parliament. That the
proceeding did not meet with the cordial concur-
rence of the repealers themselves, may be gathered
from the fact, that not a single Roman Catho-
lic clergyman connected with the town of
Dundalk was present at the entertainment; and
also from the short but very expressive letter
of the Rev. Mr. COYNE, the parish priest of the town,
who expresed his strongest disapprobation of the time,
the manner, and the object of bringing young Mr.
O'Corittsw. to the town under existing circumstances.
We admit the natural desire that must be felt by Mr.
O'CONNELL to have his youngest and favourite son
in Parliament, but we have ever believed and
still believe him to be too sincere a pa-
triot to injure his country for any personal con-
sideration ; besides, he will doubtless ere long have
many opportunities of gratifying that desire. The
present Parliament cannot exist much longer ; it
must speedily he dissolved by the efflux of time. Mr.
D. O'CONNELL, jun., is still very young, and another
year in private life cannot be disadvantageous to
him. We will still hope for a wiser determination
and that a contest for Dundalk will not present a con-
trast to the almost unanimous approbation with which
the members of the new Ministry have been received
by their constituents.

Letters from Warsaw of the 28th ult. state:that
several of the inhabitants of that city have had their
property confiscated for taking part in the recent
political movement, and that many have in addition
been exiled to the mines of Siberia. From Cracow
we learn that M. WENDA, a landed proprietor, who
took part in the late insurrection, and was given up
by Prussia to the Russian authorities, has been sen-
tenced at Randon to transportation to Siberia, with
previous exposure to two hours in the pillory.

The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Elsineur
on the 20th ult., on board the Ingermannland. The
next day be landed at Copenhagen and paid his re-
spects to the King of DENMARK, and on the follow-
ing day he sailed for St. Petersburgh.

The POPE has appointed the Abbe GRAZIOSI as his
private secretary. The Abbe was formerly his tutor.
His Holiness has conferred the order of St. Gregory
on Professor BETTI, Secretary of the Academy of St.
Luc, and author of Italia Illustre. His Holiness is
exceedinOy popular. At Sinigaglia, his birth-place,
in the midst of the demonstrations of joy which his
elevation has called forth, a society has been formed
to raise a statue to him, and to restore an ancient
aqueduct for furnishing water to the town, to be
called Acquapia, in allusion to his name of Pins. The
subscription already amounts to 80,000 scudi.

The Madrid mail, of the 4th had not reached Paris
at the hour the post left on Thursday.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.

The circular of M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the
Interior, which we published yesterday, on the subject
of the approaching elections, is commented on in all
of them. The Ministerial journals, the Debats and
the Epoque, extol it, of course, as the perfection of
wisdom. The Presse, which is by no means an un-
deviating supporter of the Soult-Guizot Ministry
speaks of it in the following terms :- '
" We can only give our entire approbation to the publica-
tion of this circular. Parties may discuss the principles
upon which it is based, but they cannot contest the frank-
ness with which they are set forth. This, in our eyes, is
what recommends it, and gives to it the importance of a truly
praiseworthy act of the Government."
The Constitutionnel, of course, finds fault with the
acts of the Ministry in general, and of M. GUIZOT in
particular, while M. TniEnsisrepresented as the beau
ideal of a perfect constitutional statesman. The Na-
tional is furious, and the Courrier Francais denounces
the circular as a useless falsehood and a gross insult
to the good sense of the country.
It was reported on the Bourse on Wednesday, that
a portion of the Great Northern Railroad, which
crosses a bog between Douay and Arras, had given
way during the passage of a train over it, and that
eleven persons had been killed and several wounded.

There is a ship arrival, bringing papers cf June 5, from
Pernambuco. The accounts from London per express reached
there on the 3d. The Legislative Chambers appear to have
fully concurred in the views of the Emperor's Government,
as to the necessity of resisting our desires upon the slave
trade question.
The American advices are so fully given in another column,
that we need only remark that they have afforded considera-
ble satisfaction. There had been some changes in the
Government at Montreal, but not of prominent importance.
We understand that another quick arrival of a cargo of
Pine apples, by the Lady Coiling, from the West Indies in
twenty-six days, has taken place, being a further proof of
the superior build of vessels that are employed in bringing
cargoes of a perishable nature to this country, which with
any wind of a favourable character compete even with
steam navigation.
The Bank of England return for last week exhibits the
following features :-
Notes issued £29,322,200

Bullion

Other Deposits decrease 631,901
Seven Day and other Bills increase 36,142

When the dividend payments come into the return there
may be a further decrease of bullion. The Private Joint
Stock Banks of England and Wales, in the week to June
27th, issued notes to the amount of 7,431,4841.
The English Stock Market opened rather heavily this
morning, but the receipt of the American advices has given
it a firmer tone. Consols have been 95% to 96 for Money,
and 9578 to 96 for Time. East India Stock has been firm at
262 to 263. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
worth 95% %. Exchequer-bills have been flat at 15s. to
lls. premium.
The Foreign Bonds have been quiet, and the alternation in
their value is but trivia, r. Spanish Five per Cents. are 24% 3/4,

HERTFORD ELECTION
(THIS DAY-BY EXPRESS.)

RETURN OF THE HON. MR. COWPER.

The election of a Member for the borough of Hertford, to
fill the seat vacated by the Hon. Mr. Cowper, he having ac-
cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty under
the new Administration, took place this morning, in the
Town-ball of Hertford, at the unusual hour of eight o'clock.
There was no opposition, and the *me Hon. Gentleman
passed through the ordeal of a re-election in the customary
manner.

The MAYOR (Joseph Lawrence, Esq.) presided on the occa-
sion, and stated that he had called the electors together
earlier than usual, because he was anxious that there'should
be no obstruction to the business of the assizes, which they
were aware was carried on in the hall they were occupying
He need not remind them that the Hon. Mr. Cow-
per, having accepted the office of one of the
Lords of the Admiralty, had ceased to become their represen-
tative in the House of Commons, and they had met together
to elect another Memher. He trusted their proceedings
would be characterised ,with their former propriety and
decorum, and having said thus much, it only remained for
him to ask any elector if he had any candidate to nominate.
Mr. MANGER then supped forward, and in a short address
proposed the Hon. Mr. Cowper, who, he said, had always sup-
ported their interests and the interests of the borough, and
had never betrayed the trust which his brother electors had
on four successive occasions reposed in him.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. J. GRIPPER seconded the nomination, and in doing
so said he concurred in what had fallen from the gentleman
who preceded him.

The MAYOR asked if there was any elector present who
had any other candidate to propose ?
No answer being given to this inquiry, the Mayor put the
motion to the vote, and it was carried without a single hand
being held up against it.
The MAYOR then declared that the Right Hon. William
Cowper had been duly elected to serve as the representative
of the borough of Hertford in the House of Commons.
The Right Hon. GENTLEMAN then stepped forward, but
the slight applause which greeted him was restrained by
the Mayor, who remarked that the judges were under the
same roof, and it would therefore be better that they should
refrain from cheering.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. COWPER said this was the fifth time the electors
had done him the honour of returning him for their
representative in Parliament, and he must con-
fess, that while he felt •deeply grateful for the con-
fidence they had so long reposed in his integrity and conduct,
he was no 'less sensible of the magnitude and importance of
the task he was again undertaking.—(Hear.) He would, never-
theless, assure them that they need be under no apprehension
that his being in office under Lord J. Russell's Administration
would make him the less watchful of their interests in the
House of Commons, for he was convinced his character of
servant to her Majesty was in no way incompatible with that
of a representative of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He
must now congratulate them upon the triumph of
those liberal principles for which they and the
constituencies of England had been so long struggling.—
(Hear, hear.) It was a great victory on the part of the
people over monopoly, and he for one looked upon it as the
commencement of a liberal and enlightened policy, which
would result in still greater triumphs, and tend still further
to advance the happiness, prosperity, and welfare, not only
of this nation, but of the whole world.—(Hear, hear.)
He was sensible of the fact that his vote upon the May-
nooth question had given offence to some few of his consti-
tuents, but he was convinced if those who were dissatisfied
with his vote would examine, calmly and dispassionately,
the Christian spirit in which that measure of conces-
sion was dictated, they would find in the end
that he had acted for the best in supporting the
Maynooth Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Again thanking them for
the honour they had done him, he had only to add that he
hoped they would never have cause to regret the confidence
they had reposed in him.—(Cheers.)
A vote of thanks was carried to the Chairman, and the pro-
ceedings, which occupied little more than half an hour, ter-
minated.

[We beg to return our sincere thanks to Mr. Rooney and
the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway Company,
for the facilities which they afforded to our reporters
in getting to and from Hertford ; and for their kindness
in offering to send up the report, slip by slip,
per electric telegraph, an offer of which we did not avail
ourselves, as there was ample time to express up the report.
Had there been a contest, however, or had the proceed-
ings been continued to a late hour, we should have gladly
availed ourselves of this kind offer, for which we again tender
them our sincere thanks.—En. Sun.]

DEATH OF WILLIAM TYRINGUAM PRAED, ESQ., M.P.
___

—We have to announce the demise of Mr. Praed, M.P. for
St. Ives, Cornwall, who expired on Wednesday evening, at
his residence in St. James's-place, aged 65. He was the son
of the late William Praed, Esq., of Tyringham, Bucks, and
was born in 1780. He was first returned for the borough in
1838. At the general election, in 1841, there was a severe
contest for the representation, Mr. Praed succeeding only by
a majority of four votes. The deceased was a partner in the
banking firm of Praed and Co., and possessed considerable
property in Cornwall, and we believe els) in Bucks. He was
a Conservative in politics, and when elected, iu 1841, an-
nounced himself a Protectionist.

THE TAUNTON ELECTION AND " THE SUN" NEWS-
PAPELL—The untiring energy which has placed the evening
Sun at the head of all its immediate rivals for the public
sopport was again evinced yesterday in the instance of the
Taunton election, a report of which, to the extent of upwards
of a column, appeared in the third edition of The Sun, pub.
fished noon after seven o'clock last night. The proceedings,
which resulted in the unopposed return of Mr. Labouchere,
were not terminated before noon. The reporter had then to
get to the station, travel a distance of 163 miles to Padding-
ton, proceed from thence to The Sun office, in the Strand, and
hand the report to the compositors in slips as fast as he could
transcribe it from his notes. It must then have been set up,
corrected, and machined before the finished work could be
placed in the hands of subscribers; and yet this gigantic
task, which requires for its performance such a wonderful
combination of means and intellect, is only a part of the or••
dinary business almost daily transacted by the conductors of
The Sun. This may be called "living last ;" it is rolling
hours into minutes, and familiarizing us with wonders.—
Family Times.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterdly afternoon, about half-
past two o'clock, as a man named James Mason, stable-
kteper, of No. 5, Red Lion-yard, Holborn, was proceeding
along the foot-pavement opposite Day and
.Martin's, a large
piece of timber fell from some building now in the course of
rr ction on that spot, and striking the unfortunate man upon
the head, felled him to the ground. Ile was immediately
picked up and conveyed in a state of insensibility' to King's
College Hospital, where life was found to be quite extinct
The unfortunate deceased, who was 46 years of age, has left
a wife and family to deplore his melancholy end.

SALE of the FORD ABBEY ESTATE

This property, which has had considerable publicity given
to it by Mr. George Robins in consequence of its antiquity,
and the fame that has now descended through very many
generations, came off (to use a sporting term) yesterday at
the Mart; and as the value of land has been a disputed point,
and the agriculturists have been in a state approaching a
panic, it is due to them to give the result of this certain mode of
of ascertaining the worth of an opinion formed upon such an
erronel..fs basis : and first as to this far-famed property. The
abbey, which is decidedly the finest monastery throughout
England, and its outward form and character quite un-
approachable, is in great need of a large outlay within ; but
no man of good taste will deny this sacrifice with a view to
restore it to its pristine state. The description of the abbey,
with an historical account appended, is got up marvellously
well in the printed particulars, by a talented lady—( it is
whispered to be the handiwork of a Mrs. Allen, a relation of
the late possessor, Mr. Gwvnne). This traces the origin of
this splendid building (with a 300-feet frontage) to the time
of William the Conqueror, and the perusal of it must delight
all those who value, and are deeply read in, antiquity. The
Goblin tapestry, which adorns the interior, and is estimated
at 10,0001., or 20,0031., is not included, but is to be sold with
the collection of Dutch and Flemish pictures, at the approach-
ing sale, next month. The tapestry can hardly be sufficiently
appreciated : it is quite matchless.

7.flte demesne of Ford Abbey extends to 1,150 acres, in
farms, beautifully diversified by hill and dale, cascades and
waterfalls. The farms are let, and those in perspective
we will enumerate, in order to judge impartially of the
result. Thus it is—
The farms let at
Tha abbey (unlet), gardens, and 80 acres of woodland,
estimated at , .
The reversion to lands out on lease, 80 acres 165

Supposed value per annum
A total of 1,873/. a year is thus shown, although only 1,385/.
is the present receipt. The result will be better shown and
appreciated by the following calculation. The actual rental,
taken at thirty• two years' purchase, is 44,320/., to which
must be added for the prospective rent of 4901., in addition
(say twenty years' purchase): this adds 9,0001. Thus it is—
The farms let (say), 44,320/., at 32 years' purchase.
lhe prospective rent, 9,800/., at 20 ditto.

54,1201.
Now we will compare these high prices with the actual
result.

The first bidding was 40,000/., but Mr. Robins deals only
in guineas, and the biddings proceeded thus until it
reached 02,000 guineas, at which it was knocked down to a
Mr. Gwynne, of Teignmouth (a curious coincidence this,
although no relation, it should be sold to a namesake). Now
after this matter-of• fact statement, what will the alarmists
say to this—what apology have they in store for Sir Robert
Nei, whom they have vilified for so many months past? Let
them refer to the Warwickshire estate, sold by Mr. Robins a
fortnight since for 50,000 guineas to Lord Craven for 3:21,6
years' purchase, on a rack-rent. Then look at the corrobora-
tion by the result of Ford Abbey, upwards of 102,000 gui-
neas, in two sales (and within fourteen days of one another),
at these advanced prices. If they have the slightest proper
feeling, let them 'tido their diminished heads, and crave Sir
Robert to forgive them. No more, I pray you, let me bear
f the ruin of the agricultural world. It would be perfec.,ly
silly now to argue this point again.—Sun.

LYPIATT PARK, GLOUCESTER.
This beautiful estate being announced for public sale
in our columns, by Mr. George Robins, and possessing,
as it does, unusual interest as connected with the history
of our country, we think some notice of it may not be
unacceptable to our readers. Lypiatt Park is situate
at a short remove from Stroud, and is reached from
London in three hours ; the country around is exceed-
ingly beautiful, indeed the Vale of Chalfont, which is
close to the estate, has long been deemed the most lovely
part of Gloucestershire. The residence is in the old
castellated style, partaking of the gothic order of
architecture. A portion of it bears evident signs of
great antiquity, whilst the venerable chapel and dove-
cote are fine specimens of the olden time ; indeed, the
former seems as it were to have outlived all the vicissi-
tudes to which the doctrine first promulgated within its
walls has been subjected to, and to offer its holy and
peaceful appearance as an attraction to some Catholic
family to become the possessor of the estate. The
chapel is said to have been erected in the time of
Stephen, and that its walls have never been desecrated.
Passing over the families to whom the property
belonged during, the Tudor reigns, we find in the time
of .James I. that Lypiatt Park was the seat of the
celebrated Sir J. Throckmorton, the projector of the
Gunpowder Plot, who at its outset held many of its
private meetings in one of the chambers of the present
mansion, which, strange to say, after a lapse of so many
years, is still preserved. The estate passed through
several hands, and in the time of Charles I. was occu-
pied by one of his adherents, and was consequently be-
sieged by the army of the Parliament, and seriously
devastated. It remained a mass of ruins for a long
period, a portion of it only being habitable until Sir
Paul Baghott became the possessor and conceived its
restoration and extension in the olden style, and with
the assistance of Sir Jeffery Wyattville reared a most
beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro-
prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection for its
size the most elegant and complete chateau that can be
found amongst England's boasted beauties. Of the ex-
terior it is impossible to speak too much in praise ; its
ivy-wreathed towers and walls, its oriel windows, tur•
retted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a
tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye
of the most fastidious in classical architecture; whilst in
the interior the effect is ore of surpassing beauty and
variety, combining taste with comfort, and nobility with
simplicity. From the end windows the most lovely and
diversifying scene is presented, and from those of the
noble corridor, the Monk's Garden is seen in all the
quietude and repose necessary for contemplation. The
domain extends to 231 acres of rich land, and is diversi-
fied by hill and dale, with a singularly beautiful eminence,
or terrace, on which the mansion is seated, and from
whence an extensive panorama is presented ; the home
grounds being ornamented by noble and thriving timber,
with a stately avenue leading in one direction, a rookery
in the distance, and, descending through a thorn grove
to a mead of surpassing quietude and richness, bounded
by a wood of noble beech trees, and of great extent,
through which a path winds impervious to the summer's
heat, catching ever and anon the most charming peeps of
the varying scene. Much interest is excited by the in-
tended sale of this property, and if report be true, more
than one Catholic family of consequence has already
been to inspect it.
