GREEN W ICH ELEC TION.
(THIS DAY).
RETURN OF ADMIRAL DUNDAS.

The election for a Member of Parliament to represent the
borough of Greenwich, on account of the resignation of the
Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas, who has accepted the
office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, took place to-day
at ten o'clock, on a hustings in Church-street, Greenwich,
near to the parish church. There was no opposition to the
Gallant Admiral, who offered himself for re-election, and
consequently there was no excitement whatever. At the
hour of commencing the proceedings there might be about
2,000 persons present, a great proportion of which had come
from Woolwich and Deptford, accompanied by approprate
banners and bands of music. The gallant candidate was ac-
companied by Edward a Barnard, Esq., the other Member
for the borough.

Among the gentlemen present we recognised Colonel Fead,
Colonel Dundas, Captain Wood, Captain Fead, Josiah Har-
graves, Esq., H. Hargraves, Esq., C. Millington, Esq., George
Burnitt, Esq., Charles Harwood, Esq., John Wade,
and a great number of the most influential electors of the
borough.
The returning officer (Thomas B. Fisher, Esq.) read the
precept for the election, and the usual formalities havingbeen
gone through, he called upon the electors to conduct
themselves in a manner worthy of the occasion, as they had
hitherto done under similar circumstances.

CHARLES HARWOOD, Esq., in a neat and appropriate ad-
dress, nominated the Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas
as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Green-
wich in Parliament.

Mr. JOHN WADE, of Deptford, seconded the nomination.
The returning officer then took the sense of the meeting by
a show of hands, which was unanimous in favour of the no-
mination. He then, amidst loud cheers, declared the Hon.
and Gallant Candidate duly elected as the Member for the
borough.

Admiral DWNDAS returned thanks for the honour
just done him by the electors of Greenwich and Deptford.
With regard to his future conduct in Parliament, he could
only, as an illustration of what it would be, point to what it
had been in the past. He had no inconsistency to explain
away. He had for years supported the repeal of the corn-laws,
and other liberal measures, and he would continue to do his best
to forward every legislative proceeding calculated to advance
the interests and extend the liberties of the people. The
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, who spoke but for a few
minutes, was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address.
In reply to a question from Mr. Wade, Admiral Dundas
promised to give the question of the condition of those em-
ployed in her ➢fajesty's dockyards his best consideration,
with the object of increasing the remuneration at present
paid them.

Mr. BARNARD, the other Member, being loudly called for,
also addressed the meeting, in a speech which was an echo of
the sentiments delivered by the Hon. and Gallant Admiral.
He stated he had always acted consistently with Liberal
principles, both on the corn-laws and other questions, and be
would continue still to do so.

After a vote of thanks to the returning officer for his con
duct in presiding over the election, the meeting separated.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—BIRMIN SRAM, SATUR-
DAY EN-ENO-G.—To-day an inquest was held at the Plough,
in Shutlock, on the body of a man named Thomas Kirkland,
who was killed on Thursday last, on the Birmingham and
Derby Railway. It appeared from the evidence that the
deceased was 49 years of age, and had been employed as a
Forkman in erecting posts for the telegraph on the above
line, a short distance beyond the forge station. He had just
finished the erection of a post he had been engaged at, and
was retiring with some of his fellow workmen, when he re-
collected that he had left a tool behind him, and returned for
it, walking between the up and"down lines until he
came to within a very short distance Of the spot where he had
to cross over to the post. At the moment, however, an en-
gine with some empty waggons appeared in sight, and the
deceased attempted to run across the line, but before he
could get over the rails the train came up, and the buffer of
the engine struck him, knocked him down, and the wheels
passed over his body, almost severing it in two. No blame
whatever could be attached to any individual except the
unfortunate poor fellow himself, and the jury returned a ver.
diet of "Accidental death."
NEW BATCH OF FRENCH PEERS.—The Debuts gives

rived yesterday, and having reQovered from her late severe
indisposition, will mare her twat appearance at the St. Janieel
Theatre th',3 avening, in her celebrated part of Camille, in
Corneille s tragedy of Les Boraces.

Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., opened the case, and stated that the
railway would meet a great requirement.
Mr. Warren appeared for the commissioners of paving.
Mr. Bidders, engineer, was examined, and gave general
evidence, of the usual character, in support of the line.
