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 Loris of the Admiralty under
the new Administration, took place .this morning, in the
Town-hall of fiertforti, at the unusual hour of eight o'clock.
There was no opposition, and the lime 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 calicd the electors together
earlier than usual, because he was anxions that there should
be no obstruction to the business of the assizes, which they
were aware was carried on in the hall they were re•alpi int
lie need not remind them that the Hon. Mr. Cow-
per, having accepted the office of one of the
Lords of the kimiralty, had ceased to become their represen-
tative in the House of Commons, and they had met together
to elect another Meint,er. He trusted their proceeding-
would be characteri- ed with their former propriety and
decorum, and having said thus much, it frily remained for.
him to ask any elector if he had any candidate to nominate.
Mr. MANSER then slapped forward, and in a short address
proposed the Hon.• Mr. Cowper, who, he said, -had always sill -
ported their interests and the interests of tile borough, and
had never betrayed the trust. which his brother electors had
on fair 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 gentlemat:
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 hanu
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 b)
the Mayor, who remarked that the judges were under th,
same roof, and it would therefore be better that they should
retrain from cheering.—(Hear, hear.)

- -
Mr. COWPER said this was the fifth time the elector:
had done him the honour of returning him for then
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 conduc
he was no less sensible of the magnitude and importance ut
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 th,
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.) 11,
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
if this nation, but of the whole world.—(Hear, hear.)
He was sensible of the fact that his vote upon the May-
nooth questn.n had given offence to some few of his consti-
tuents, but he was convinced if those who were dissattstieii
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 eni.
that he had ac,,eit for the best in supporting tt,
Maytiooth :sill.—(llear, hear.) Again thanking them fia
the honour they bad done him, he had only to add that him
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 zeturn our sincere thanks to Mr. Rooney
the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway Company,
for the facilities which they affbrtled to our reporter,
in getting to,and..from Hertford ; and fur their kindness'
in offeting ,to send up .. the . report, , slip by slip,
per electric telegraph, an offer of which we did not av:u
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 (EA., fur which we again tender
them our sincere thanks.—ED. Sun.]

-YRIVATELRING IN THE ATLANTIC.-Our Liverpool

June 6—The Telegraph, Y.aing, arrived here from New
Orleans, reports that off Cape Antonio she fell in with a
long, low, black schooner, of about 150 tons, heavily armed,
Baltimore built, which came within speaking distance, hoist-
ing the Spanish merchant flag, with two vessels in company,
apparently prizes, and luffing up to give cbace to an Ame-
rican."
HEATH OF WILLIAM TYRINGHAM PRAED, ESQ.,
—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 also in Bucks. He was
a Conservative in politics, and when elected, in 1841, an-
nounced himself a Protectionist.

THE TAUNTON ELECTION AND " THE SUN" NEWS-
PAPER.—The untiring energy which has placed the evening
Sun at the head of all its immediate rivals for the public
support was again evinced yesterday in the instance of the
Taunton election, a report of which, to the extentof upwards
of a column, appeared in the third edition of The Sun, pub-
lished soon after seven o'clock last night. The proceedings,
which resulted in the unopposed return of Mr. Labouchere,
were not terminated before noon. The reporter hadlhen 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, aril 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
hour into minutes, and familiarizing us with wonders.—

FATAL AcciDENT.--Yesterday afternoon, about half-
past two o'clock, as a man named James Mason, stable-
lc( eper, 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
erection on that spot, and striking the unfortunate_man upon
the head, felled hini to the ground. He was imthediately
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 Yearg of age, has left

SALE of the FORD ABBEY ESTATE. '
This property, which has had considerable publicity given
to it by Mr. George Robins in consequence ot its antiquity,
and the fame that has now descended through very many
izenerations, came off (to use a sporting teem) 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
erroneous basis : and first as to this far-famed property. The
ahnev, which is decidedly the tinust monastery throughout
England, and its outward foam 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 t osses.sor, Mr. Gwvnne). This traces the origin of
this splendid building (with a 300-feet frontage) to the time
if Witham the Conqueror, and the perusal ot it must delight
,11 these who value, and are deeply read in, antiquity. The
Goblin tapestry, which adorns the interior, and is estimated
at 10,000/., or 20,0001., is not included, but is to be sold with
the collection ti Dutch and Flemish pictures, at the approach-
ing sale, next month. The tapestry can hardly be sufficiently
appreciated : it is quite matchless.
Tee demesne ot Ford Abbey extends to 1,150 acres, in
farms, beautifti.ly niversified by hill and dale, cascades and
waterfalls. The farms are let, and those in perspective
\ve will enumerate, in order to judge impartially of the
re-.ult. Thus it is—
The farms let at •

£1,385

Th. abbey (unlet), gardens, and 80 acres of woodland,
estimated at , ..

The reversion to lands out ou lease, 80 acres

Supposed value per annum £1.875
.A total of 1,8751. a year is thus Chown, although only 1,3851.
;s the present receipt. The result will be better shown and
ppreciated by the following calculation. The actual rental,
aken at thirty- two years' purchase, is 44.320/., to which
/oust be added for the prospective rent of 490/., in addition
(say twenty years' purchase): this adds 9,0001. Thus it is—
The farms let (say), 44,320/., at 32 years' purchase.
the prospective rent, 9,00/., at 20 ditto.
