LONGFORD ELECTION.

Colonel WOOD brought up the report of the Select
Committee appointed to inquire into the merits of the
petition against the return of Luke White, Esq., and
James Halpin Rourke, Esq., for the county of Long-
ford. The Committee reported that the said
Luke White, E‘q., and James Halpin Rourke, Esq.,
had not been duly elected for that county, and that Lord
Forbes and Anthony Lefroy, Esq., were duly elected, and
ought to have been returned at the I.st election. The
Ccmmittee had altered the poll, by striking off certain
names to the amount of 73.—The Clerk of the Crown
was then ordered to attend the House to-morrow, to
amend the return.

Mr. O'CONNELL brought up an application from the
Carrickfergus Committee for the order of the House for
the production of some documents, which were necessary
for their information. He stated that himelf and
wilier Members of the Committee, were very strongly im-
pres.ed with an opinion that these documents had been
withheld from an improper motive.—Ordered to be
laid on the tab'e. The Honourable IVl..mber then
moved that at its rising, the Carricklergus•Committee do
adjourn till Tuesday week.—Leave granted.

THE FUNDS.

Up to the present time we have no political news or reports
to communicate. The Funds continue steady at yesterday's
prices. Consols opened as they left off yesterday 87 % % for
the Account ; since which they have been done at 88, and for
next Account 8816.

The speculators are waiting the arrival of the express from
Paris, to ascertain the prices of the Rentes,
We have no further accounts of the report of yesterday of a
fleet getting ready for the Mediterranean.
In the Foreign Market all the Securities continue firm a
yesterday's prices,

HALF-PAST ONE.

We can state on credable authority, that a proposition was
sent off last night by our Government and the French Ambas.
sador to the Dutch Government for the final adjustment of the
Dutch question. This plan has been sanctioned by the other
Foreign Ambassadors here; therefore, there is a probability by
the end of next week the embargo will be taken off of the
Dutch vessels detained in our ports. This information is the
cause of the improvement in our Funds yesterday and this

morning.
Consols may be quoted at present at 88; and for the next
Account, 88i i.
It is said that the Bank are buying Exchequer Bills, which
will cause money to be more plentiful.
In the Foreign Market all the securities continue firm.
An express has arrived from Paris, the contents of which
have not, as yet, transpired. Had there been anything of im.
portance we should have known it before this.
Exchequer sills have been done at 55.

Consols for the Account, 88 IA,.

The Roman Catholic Prelates of Ulster, in
conference at Dublin, have subscribed a declaration to refu.e
absolution to all members of secret and illegal societies in
that province, and the several priests, in those dioceses, are

Absolution in such cases.-- Glasgow Free Press.

HERTFORD ELECTION.

Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the said Com-
mittee appointed to try the merits of the petition against
the return of Lord Ingestrie and Lord Mahon for the town
of Hertford. He wis directed by the Committee to re-
port to the House that Lords Ingestrie and Mahon had not
been duly elected and returned for that borough at the
last election, and that the petitions of Thomas Sling shy
Duncombe, Esq., and John Eden Spalding, Esq., and
the opposition thereto were not frivolous or vexatious..
Mr. BERNAL was also directed by the Committee to
report to the House that that Committee had come to the
followtng resolution:—" It appears to this Committee
that bribery and treating prevailed previously and during
the late election for the said borough."
Mr. BERNAL then moved that the minutes of the
proceedings and evidence before that Committee shout.' he
laid before the House.—Agreed to. The Hon. Member
also moved that no writ slit uld be issued for a new elec-
tion in the room of the Noble Lords who had been un-
seated, till after the 16th of April.
BOROUGH OF DUNDEE. _

Mr. HUME moved the issue of a new writ for the
election of a Member of Parliament for the borough of
Dundee, in the room of George Kinloch, Esq., deceased.
The Hon. Member took that opportunity of mentioning,
that although that gentleman had not unfortunately had
an opportunity of making appearances in that House, yet
he had excited great interest throughout the country as
the friend and advocate of Reform, when it was ❑et so
fashionable as at present, having been expatriated for
several years, in consequence of his services in that cause,
and his decease would occasion to the people of Scotland
and England much regret.

'OISONIN6 TrY A SURGE'
SHOPMAN.

,N's

w witness
it
tnpnerit
Last evening an Inquest was held at the Wellington, in
University-street, Tottenham-court-road, on the body of
Mary Rocher Latten, wife of a policeman of the E divi-
sion, who died from taking a mixture which had been
improperly made up by a surgeon's shopman.
Mr. Curtis, surgeon, of 12, Union-terrace, said, that
having been informed of the death of the deceased, and
having been shown a bottle containing a mixture of which
she had partaken, and which smelt strongly of prussic
acid, he went to Mr. H. Clapham, 29, Francis-street, who
had attended her. He was shown a book in which was
the prescription for a mixture for the deceased ; it was
perfectly harmless, and to the following effect :—Saline
m xture, 8 oz. ; of the tincture hyosciamus, one drachm and
half; powdered rhubarb, half a drachm ; an I Epsom
salts mixed together, and ordered to be taken three table-
wcs peados,'

was of opinion that that quantity was administered instead
•.1 the tmetute of,hyosciamus. Those liquids are not
similar in colour, one being an olive green and the other
colourless.
Mr. 11. Clapham on Sunday last saw the deceased for
the first time. She was labouring under great nervous
excitement, and great pain in the face arising from an
46crion of the teeth. Having described the medicine he
ive her, he said she appeared better on Monday morning.
lie then ordered her a saline mixture, containing an aperient,
a drachm and hill of hyosciamus, of which three table..
spoonsful were to be taken every four hours ; he directed
his assistant, Mr. Harrell, to prepare the same, which
witness supposed he did correctly; soon after witness
sent the mixture he was sent for to attend deceased, and
on his arrival at her lodgings he found her dying under
symptoms of poison from prussic acid; she died within
ten minutes after his arrival.
Mr. Latten, husband of the deceased, said that his wife,
anon after taking three table-spoonstul of the mixture last
sent by Mr. CI tpham, exclaimed, " Oh, I am sick ;" wit•
ness went to her and held her head, and, after retching in
a dreadful manner, she vomited-a quantity of blood ; she
then fell into witness's arms, foamed at the mouth, her eyes
appeared as if they were gushing out of her bead, and allc
became apparently lifeless.
After some conversation as to the propriety of examin-
ing Mr. Clapham's assistant, he was called before the
ii Coroner, who cautioned him not to say any thing unless
be chose.—lle replied, that if he was guilty of an offence,
it had arisen from accident.
Juror—Do you know the qualities of Prussic acid ?
Witness—l can't say that I dc.
The Coroner briefly summed up the evidence, and the
jury, after an hour's consultation, returned the followit g
1 v:rdict—Manslaughter against John Marra

SHIP-BUILDING.—At no period these
many years hack has the ship-building business, on the
banks of the Clyde, been brisker than at present. There
are about 20 vessels on the stocks, at Slip-duck, Dum-
barton, Port Glasgow, and Greenock ; among which are
three or four steamers of immense size, destined to ply on
English stations. A number of the steamers navigating
the Clyde, are also under repairs at present, and are in
comae of receiving on board boilers of a novel and inge-
nious construction, by which, it is calculated, that an in-
creased 'facility of transmission of goods and passengers
trill be obtained.--Greenock Znielligencer.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our accounts this morning are of a scanty description. A
Lisbon mail has arrived, but of an old date, the 17th of March,
and which left Oporto on the 23d of March. Sydney papers to
the 20th of October have been received at the North and South
American Coffee.house.

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are considerable,
and there is a good return of Flour. The Whcat trade is ex.
tremely dull, and to effect sales less prices must be taken. Bar.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
London, England, 1833-04-04

THE reUNDS.

This day being the great holyday with the. Hebrews, called
Passover, but very few have made their appearance as yet on
'Change, or at the Stock Exchange. Consequently, no spe-
culations are doing as yet, although the Funds are not quite so
good as yesterday. Consols, which left off 88 to 1, opened at
87 a for tlie Account, turned sellers at the above price, and at
present may be quoted 87 I buyers,
In the Foreign Market the Spanish Bulls have all taken
fright, and are selling their stock, which has lowered others
one per cent.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The accounts from Falmouth of a French squadron appear-
ing off Oporto, are not credited ; it is supposed to be that of
Sartorius.

There appears to be no doubt but that we are going to send
some ships to the Mediterranean.

Up to the present hour, however, we have no further poli.
tical news or reports.
Consols continue at 87 % to 6.3 for the Account. Bank
Stock has lowered 3 per Cent.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are rather better
than in the early part of the morning.
Consols for the Account, 87 % 88.

THREE O'CLOCK.

A suspension bridge is about to be erected
over the river hchen, near Southampton.
By means of a certiorari, as now obtained,
not only is a case removed from one Court to another,
but the bail, under which the party is bound to appear in
the first instance, becomes discharged.
CAPRICE OF THE SEASONS.—The winter
quarter, just ended, commenced with spring weather, the
thermometer at 50 : —the spring quarter began with hard
frost, the thermometer at 30.

SM JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM mu.

Mr. Eniron,—When misstatements are made in either
House, affecting the character or the interests of an indi-
vidual, it is not, I presume, a breach of Parliamentary
privilege if we point out and correct such errors. Should
this liberty be denied to the subject, the two Houses would
possess the worst power of despotism,—the power of doing
wrong unquestioned.
In the debate of Monday last on Soave's Museum Bill,
Mr. Joseph Hume asserted, and the press has since re-
peated, that I have received from my father, Sir John
Swine, a sum more than equivalent to the money proposed
by the Bill to be expended on the Museum in Lincoln's
Inn-fields. This is not the fact. The utmost I have re-
ceived from my father has been about five thousand pounds
in the space of two and twenty years, and yet my mother's
property, to which I certainly have a moral, and, as I
think, a legal claim, amounted to thirty thousand pounds;
the interest alone of this money for the same time would
more than quadruple the whole of Sir John Soane's al-
lowance.

I am aware that these matters can be of little impor-
tance to the public, but any individual thus aggrieved, na-
turally feels anxious for his justification. I am, Sir, your
very humble and obedient servant, GEO. SOANE.

LUTION AT PARIS.

(From the Courrier Francais.)
On the 25th of March the Poles assembled at Paris
celebrated, in the splendid apartments of No. lii, Rue de
Rivoli, their second anniversary of the Revolution in the
Lithuanian and Volhynian provinces. This solemn festi-
val was honoured by the presence of ladies, of deputies,
of general officers, and of foreigners of distinction, who
could not listen without deep emotion to the recital of the
atrocities, of which the remnant of the Polish nation are
still the victim. The hall of the assembly was ornamented
with French and Polish flags. General Lafayette, as
President, opened the proceedings, and after having ex-
plained the rights of the provinces, as guaranteed by the
treaty of Vienna, and the great assistance which they
rendered to the Polish revolution, he gave a most inte-
resting account of the energetic manifestation of the Eng-
lish nation in favour of Poland. After the President of
the society, several members spoke, and especially the
Nuncio Malinowski, M. Szemiotte, and the Count La-
dislas Plater, who presented to his countrymen, from
the English people, a Polish flag, and an English flag with
this inscription, " Perseverance," " Hope," " Poland is
not yet lost ;" and afterwards an address from the prin-
cipal towns in England, covered with a hundred thousand
signatures, a tribute of admiration from the people of
England to the sacred cause of Poland.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The House sat today shortly after one o'clock, for the purpose
of proceeding to St. James's Palace with the address agreed to
last night for presentation to his Majesty. Among the Peers
present, all of whom appeared either in military or full court
dress, we noticed the Duke of Norfolk, with his staff as Earl
Marshal, the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Conyngkam,
and Lord Kinnaird, the mover and seconder of the address;
the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Bishops of Chichester and
Hereford, Lords Poltimore, Western, Paget, and Goderich.
Prayers having been read by the Bishop of Hereford, the
Duke of Buccleuch appeared at the table, and took the oaths
and his seat.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that as their Lord-
ships were about to adjourn to tomorrow, it should be open to
any of their Lordships to sign any protest to the address till the
rising of the House to-morrow.—Agreed to.
The House then adjourned to three o'clock tomorrow, and
their Lordships proceeded in state to St. James's, to present the
address.

wish extremely to pi opoae an amendment of the law.
But at the present period of the year, before he could pos-
sibly know the demands on the income of the country, he
could give no pledge on the subject.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL gave notice that
on the 24th of February he would move to bring
in those Bills which he had introduced last Session for
the abolition of fines and recoveries, and for an amendment
of the laws relating to dowry, courtesy, and entail.
Mr. E. LYTTON BUL\VER gave notice that he
would take an early opportunity of renewing his motion
respecting taxes on knowledge.
Mr. HUME stated that tomorrow he would bring be-
fore the House a question relative to the dropped notices
of list Session. He also wished to ask whether it was
the intention of Ministers to fill up two sinecure ofli•
ces which had just been vacated ; namely, a Governorship
(of what place we could not hear) and the Director Ge-
neralship of the artillery.
Lord ALTHORP believed it was intended to fill up the
Governorship, but at present he could give no answer to
the other part of the question.
A MEMBER whose name we could not learn, stated
that he would very shortly move for the appointment of
a Committee, to which all election petitions should be
referred.

Mr. ROBINSON stated that on the 26th of March
he would move for the appointment of a Special Committee
to consider the whole system of taxation with a view to its
revision, and to the substitution of a property tax..--( Hear. )
The House the❑ proceeded to the swearing in of
Members.

At about twenty minutes to 5 o'clock the Speaker
returned to the Chair. Some conversation which could
not be distinctly beard in the Gallery then took place, re-
lative to the adoption of the usual sessional orders.
Mr. HUME said he would agree to the postponement
of those orders till to-morrow, with the exception of
one relative to the time up to which petitions should
he received by that House. He hoped the Noble Lord
opposite would make some arrangement to-night upon tha'
subject.
London, England, 1833-08-08

BROWN V. BROWN.

This was a suit promoted by Mrs. Emma Brown
against Mr. John Brown, her husband, for a divorce
on the ground of adultery.
Th. Kiwi's ADVOCATE stated the case. The
parties were married 3FI March, 1828, and a child
was the issue. They separated in 1831, when Mr.
Brown went to Devonport to practise as a barrister
there, and from the evidence on the whole it was
alleged that he had on several occasions committed
adultery, and with two females, &C. There could
not be any doubt, the Learned Civilian stated, that
the facts as stated were proved, and that the Court
must pronounce for the prayer of the wife.
Dr. ADDAMS, on the part of the husband, con-
tended that the suit was the result of a conspiracy;
that there was not a shadow of proof that the hus-
band had committed adultery, the
with iden
wmceitomit
the
factwas a
belilnegegtdhat
Mr.of cßcommonhad committed the acts

charged.
Dr. LUSHINGTON considered the charge ofadultery
had been made out. He therefore felt bound to
pronounce for the divorce, and to condemn Mr.
Brown in costs.
London, England, 1833-08-08

PENLEAZE IP. ELIVES.

This was a bill filed for the specific performance
of a contract of sale. The defendant purchased the
estate of Bossington, in Hampshire, for the sum of
23,5001., and one of the conditions of sale mentioned
in the auctioneer's proposals was, that the purchaser
should pay immediately into the hands of the vendor
a deposit of twenty per cent, on the purchase money,
and to pay the remainder in the July follow.
ing, until which time the purchaser was not
to be let into possession of the property.
There was another condition, stating that the estate
was to be sold, subject to a mortgage of 6,0001.,
in consequence of which the present purchaser
would have the advantage of not being obliged Im-
mediately to pay the whole of the purchase money.
The question in dispute was, whether the pur-
chaser became charged with the payment of this
mortgage.
The LORD CHIEF BARON entertained no doubt
whatever respecting the construction of the instru-
ment and terms of- sale. The estate was stated in
the conditions of sale to be sold subject to a mort-
gage, and the purchaser, therefore, was not obliged
to pay the whole purchase money. A decree must
be pronounced for the plaintiff, but he would re-
serve the consideration of costs.
His LORDSHIP, in answer to an inquiry from Mr.
BEAMS, as to whether he would sit beyond the pre-
sent week, said that as he had left the Circuit for
the purpose of hearing out all the causes, it was
still his intention to do so, as long at least as he
could get Counsel to attend. The House of Lords
was sitting, the House of Commons was sitting, the
Lord Chancellor was sitting, and all the other
Judges were sitting on Circuit, and he did not see
why the Court of Exchequer should not sit. He
should be sorry to deprive Mr. Beams, or any other
Learned Counsel, of the pleasure of grouse shoot.
