LONDON, FRIDAY. MARCH 17, 1648.

Unhappily for the poorer classes of England, the
benevolent projeets of Lord ASHLEY are generally
impracticable, because they are conceived in a spirit
of exaggerated munificence. In striving to benefit
his fellow-creatures with a superabounding generosity
the noble representative of Bath very frequently fails
in his endeavour, and actually tends to retard their
amelioration when he is most solicitous to secure their
happiness. This circumstance has been illustrated
throughout the whole of his political career—it has
rendered many of his aspirations visionary, and much
of his patriotism useless—it has been his vice as a
statesman, and his virtue as a philanthropist. We
never recollect an occasion upon which this fact re-
ceived a snore positive illustration than it slid in
the House of Commons, yesterday evening. Lord
ASHLEY then and there brought before Parliament a
series of resolutions based upon the voluminous evi-
dence obtained in 1844 before the Medical Relief
Committee. Those resolutions were intended by him
to counteract a variety of evils pressing every day
most heavily upon the humbler ranks of the commu-
nity—they were resolutions such as could alone have
been originated by a man profoundly anxious to
scatter blessings over the land through the medium of
a benign and beneficent legislation. Each one of
them is creditable to the Noble representative of
Bath in as far as the spontaneous promptings of
his heart are concerned ; but inasmuch as
they are altogether beyond the capabilities
of Government, they say very little indeed
for the correctness of his judgment. One after
another these resolutions were laid before the Com-
mons—four of them were rejected in succession, and
~• . in consequence the remainder were withdrawn—the

SERIOUS RIOTS

HAMBU RGH AND LUB ECK

The following has been received by Electric
Telegraph, from Hull :—" The Marshall, Captain
Tilers, from Hamburgh, arrived in the roads this
morning. She left Hamburgh on Tuesday evening.
The captain states that there was a great deal of
fighting on Monday.

"The people were driven back, and several were
killed. The riot had been put down previous to his
leaving, but further outbreak was fully expected.
" There was a great disturbance also at Lubeck on
Saturday and Sunday evenings."

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
DUNDALK.

(Continual from our Afternoon Edition.)
The objection was argued at great length on both
sides, and the fact of the neglect having been proved,
the room was cleared of strangers. The Committee de-
liberated for half an hour, and then dig parties were
re-admitted, when
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had
unanimously come to the following resolution:—
" Resolved—That the return of Charles Carroll
M‘Tavish, Esq., for the borough of Dundalk is null and
void, he having neglected to make a declaration of his
qualification, according to the provisions of the Ist and
2d Victoria, chapter 8, vvithin, twenty-four hours after
being duly requested to do so.'
The rest of the day was occupied with the scrutiny
case, in which •Mr. M'Cullagh, the defeated candidate,
was the petitioner. Mr. MiTavish was returned by a
majority of three only, but before the- rising of the
Committee counsel for the petitioner had succeeded in
cutting the majority down to two.
The Committee adjourned a four o'clock till eleven
o'clock to-morrow.

AYLESBURY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Some other witnesses were called to prove similar
instances of treating, and the evidence for the petitioner
closed.
Mr. COOKE then summed up at great length, after
which
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at 11 o'clock.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SON.

SIR,—I take the liberty of extracting from La Semaine
of Saturday last two anecdotes of the late Revolution in
France. •,hick appear to mo very interesting, and which
have not hitherto appeared, I think, in an English form.
They are at your service for insertion in your journal,
should you deem them worthy of am, Sir, &c.
Lincoln's Inn, March 16.1848. J. T. B.

On the morning of Thursday, the 24th February, a
band of insurgents in search of arms, visited the resi-
dence of the Duke d'Elchingen. The Duke was absent,
and the Duchess was alone. "We come for arms," cried
the group. "Take them," said her Grace, pointing to
some swords and fire-arms. " And that one?" said a
citizen, pointing to a sword left suspended on the wall.
" That sword," she replied, " belonged to my father-in-
law. 'Tis the sword of Marshal Ney. Do not, pray,
deprive use of that. The people always respected it."
The men were moved, and taking down the weapon,
they all kissed it with emotion, and placing it in the
bands of Madamed'Elchingen they bowed and withdrew.
When the people had forced their way into the Palais
Royal and had reached the apartments of General
Athaiin, ono of Louis Phillipe's aide-de-camps, they
encountered the General's lady, a woman of dignified
deportment and stature, whom the General had espoused
for her rare beauty, being but the daughter of a poor
fisherman of Granville. "My friends," she exclaimed,
" I trust you have not come here to offer any injury to
myself or my husband. lam not one of your fine ladies,
but a daughter of the people—l throw myself then con-
fidently on your protection. But I %•ill not leave my
husband, he is confined to his bed by illness." The
band were struck with the boldness of the appeal. They
repaired to the General's chamber, placed him in an
arm-chair, and headed by this daughter of the people, they
conveyed him to a friend's house in the neighbourhood.
On reaching his destination the General rec llected
leaving a sum of 130,0001. (5,2001.) in notes and gold in
his desk. He handed the key of the desk to a working
man in a blouse whom he did not know. An hour after
the ma❑ returned with every sous of the money. This
is by na means a solitary instance of the disinterested-
ness and nobility of mind displayed by the people during
these most glorious three days.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN FROM
ARSENlC.—Yesterday an inquest, adjourned from Sa-
turday last, was resumed before Mr. Carter, at the
King's Arms, It oupell-street, as to the death of Emma
Whintle, aged twenty, who died from the effects of a
large quantity of arsenic. The father of the deceased
is a working silversmith, living at 11, Roupell-street,
and she was employed in the straw-bonnet business, in
Hatfield-street, adjoining. On Wednesday last she
went home, and had her supper with her family, as
usual, having first taken two pills. She slept with ono
of her sisters, who heard her get up in the night, when
she was very hick. In the morning she got np again,
appeared very ill, and jell down dead. Mr. Brady,
surgeon, in the Blackfriars-road was called in, and
having analysed the contents of the k tome!), discovered
in it a considerable quantity of arsenic, which had evi-
dently caused her death. Her father and family being
wholly unable to account for it, the inquiry was again
adjourned, to obtain, if possible, some further evidence.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-
comproshig harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net he the only marriage set-
tlement. llonoar and justice demand that health should form aa item
in the corapact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
segleot wound more sorely than poverty or misfortnne. Reader, if

for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash pot forth on
the above subjects, by anqualifled authors, which alone or

sionally present at the entertainments, amounted to

road home, he heard footsteps behind him, and turned
round when something was thrown in his face which
blinded him. He was then struck heavily on the head,
knocked down, and beat and kicked while on the ground,
and he became insensible. Sometime afterwards he
was found in that state, his face covered with dirt and
blood, and after recovering his senses he missed hie
money, twenty-five shillings in silver, which ho had in
a pocket inside his waistcoat. The ostler at the
Green Man, and other witnesses, proved that the
prisoner and Richardson followed the prosecutor out

" That Thomas J . Ireland, Esq., was not duly elected,
that the election was void; that Sir T. Winnington, a
candidate at the election, had been proved by his agents
to have been guilty of extensive treating; that a voter
named Price had been bribed with 151., and it
hal been proved to the Committee that a practice
had prevailed at the last election, as well as at the elec-
tion in 1841, of carrying away and treating voters ; that
in consequence of that system large bodies of men were
employed on both sides for the alleged protection of
voters, and that every public-house and beer • shop in the
borough was open during the week of the election, and
drink given away to a large extent."
This closed the labours of the Committee.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A lad named Henry Walker was finally examined
before Mr. Hammill, charged with having incited
James Hunt, a boy of fourteen years of age, to plun-
der his father, Mr. Ralph hunt, a watch implement
maker, in helmet-street, St. Luke's, and two women,
Sarah Hime and Sucan Jones, were charged with
feloniously receivieg the stolen property.
The facts of the case have already been fully de-
tailed in this paper.
Sergeant Brannan now intimated that he had made
every effort to trace the other parties implicated in
the affair, but without success, and he had ascer-
tained that they had left the country to escape jus-
tice, and fled over to France.
The prisoners, who declined offering any defence,
were ordered to be fully committed for trial.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY.
The Piedoontese Gazette of the 14th announces
the arrival at Turin of CHARLES ALBERT on that
day. He issued the following proclamation to the
National Guard :

" When I placed myself at the head of the army,
which was preparing to fight for the sacred cause of
Italian liberty, I confided to you my family and the
capital of the kingdom. The fact showed how worthy
you were of my confidence; your patriotism proved that
you were deserving of the new destinies to which our
country is called. In returning among you my heart
cannot refrain from expossing to you my affection and
gratitude. In these solemn moments we shall give a new
proof of the concord that has existed for so many ages
in this country between prince and people; of that con-
cord, that mutual confidence, which will prove us worthy
of the liberty and independence to which I have dedi-
cated my life, to which all my thoughts, all my cares
and efforts, are turned.

Turin, Sept. 14. " CHARLES ALBERT."
The Gen.a Gaze* of the 13th contains the foJ
owing article :

" A person holding a high situation had a long con-
versation with M. Bastide, the French Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, a few days since. M. Bastide said that
Austria had accepted the mediation of France and Eng-
land, but he feared that she would not accept the propo-
sitions made by France, which were that no Austrian
soldier should remain beyond the Alps. If Austria should
refuse, it will become necessary for France to impose
her conditions by her army, which was ready to com-
mence the campaign. France is at present negotiating
with the great Powers to obtain their neutrality in
order to prevent a general war. M. Bastide was confi-
dent that that question would be resolved within 15
days, and he relied much on the intestine dissensions of
Austria and the sympathies felt in Germany for France
for its pacific termination. If the other powers should
oppose themselves to France she would proclaim a war
of the people and of nationalities. M. Bastide con-
cluded by saying that France could not feel secure unless
Italy was free,"

PROLONGATION OF THE ARMISTICE.
A prolongation of the armistice for six weeks has
been agreed on by the King of SARDINIA and the
Emperor of AUSTRIA.
London, England, 1848-09-19

ROME.

The Roman papers of the 9th have come to hand.
On the Bth the POPE went in procession from his re-
sidence of Monte Cavallo to the Church of Santa
Maria del Popolo, to celebrate the solemn festivity of
the birth of the Virgin MAEr. Although a paper
had been circulated during the preceding week, in-
viting the inhabitants to refrain from decorating
their windows on the occasion, the festival was very
generally observed, and the POPE was, in many
places, received with applause. At one or two points
flowers were strewed on his carriage as it passed in
procession.

The accounts from Bologna show that Cardinal
AMAT was taking energetic measures for the sup-
pression of the seditious movement in that city. An
edict had been issued, prohibiting the carrying of
arms, and several arrests had been effected. Some ap-
prehensions were, however, entertained lest the Car-
dinal should be overawed by the military malcontents
recently disbanded by the Government. The crisis
continued on the 6th.
London, England, 1848-09-19

PROLONGATION OF THE ARMISTICE,

A prolongation of the armistice for six weeks has
been agreed on by the King of SARDINIA and the
Emperor of AUSTRIA.

NAPLES.

The Alba, Florence journal, of the 12th instant,
announces under date Naples, 7th instant, that the
agitation occasioned by the prorogation of the Legis-
lative Chambers had continued some days. A colli-
sion had even taken place between the Royalist and
Constitutionalist Lazzaroni, which would have been
sanguinary if the troops had not interfered in
time. On the 7th the garrison was confined to the
barracks, and Naples resembled a city in a state of
siege.

SAXONY.

A revolt took place at Chemnitz, in Saxony, on the
11th inst. Barricades were formed, and the opera-
tives, reinforced by numbers from the suburbs, had
attacked the troops, who were not sufficiently nu-
merous to offer an effective resistance. The distur-
bances originated in the determination of the populace
to liberate a journeyman carpenter who had been im-
prisoned fourteen months without trial.
