LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1144,

The first election blow has already been struck
against the Tories. At a public meeting of the
Electors of Devonport, held in the Town-hall on
Saturday last, Mr. G. R, DAWSON addressed them
at considerable length in explanation of his political
principles ; but his speech having given general dis-
satisfaction, it was instantly resolved—" That this
meeting, having heard the Right Honourable
G. R. DAWSON declare his political senti-
ments, is of opinion, that the present Government of
-which he is a Member, cannot, and ought not, to have
the confidence of Reformers, and this meeting remem-
bering that the Right Hon. Gentleman has, throughout
his political life, been an able and energetic
opponent of those efforts which terminated in
the great measure, securing to this borough its poli-
tical freedom, cannot support his present claim to re-
present those who, by his votes, he has in effect de-
clared unworthy to rank among the electors of Great
Britain." We congratulate the electors of Devonport,
on having been first in the field to set an cxampl
of
independence, which we doubt not will be veri gener-
ally followed up, wherever the sham Reformers are
concerned. They deserve the grateful thanks of the
community.

We have read with much pleasure the speech de-
livered by Lord STANLEY on the occasion of his in-
auguration at Glasgow. It at once puts a stop to all
the rumours which the Tories, for party purposes,
have lately been so assiduously circulating, that his
Lordship would give them his support. It is clear
that between them and him a gulph is fixed, which
neither can pass with safety. For what are his words?
After paying a deserved compliment to the high-minded
political integrity of Earl GREY, he expressly says, "I
trust that into whatever hands the helm of the -State may
come, no man will ever conceive that he can check the
spirit of enquiry and investigation that must now go
on. This will never do : the wishes of the people
must not be put aside ; they must be met by a fair
and determined spirit to do just what is right, and no
more. The machine must move onwards for good or
for evil, for it cannot be stopped. His will be a glo-
rious destiny who knows how to direct and turn into the
proper channel the energies of the people ; but if he

MUSIC.

THE MUSIC BOOK OF BEAUTY;

COntaining Quadrilles•
London : Simphin and Marshall, Stationer's-hall Court,
and Smith and Co., Oxford-street.
A more elegant collection of tender, sprightly, and
joyous music—arranged in a better form—and with-
more beautiful embellishments of silk, morocco,
and gold
enamelling, has rarely come before us. The songs are
selected from the poetical works of Edmund Smith ;
and the music is by the Messrs. Barnett, Blewitt,
Bishop, Cohan, Severn, Neukomm, and Miss
Myers ; and is in • every respect, worthy of
the talents of these eminent composers. The very
sight of this book—independent of its elegaut,'fascinat-
ing contents—is enough to make young ladies fall in
love with the science. The cost, too, is literally
nothing—a guinea, for what would be cheap at twice
the sum. Every young gentleman who wishes
to distinguish himself by his taste—and every old one
who would be thought an encourager of innocent en-
joiment .in his family, cannot provide themselves with a
more elegant Christmas present for the young ladies
than by procuring for them this volume.

THE THREE POSSIBILITIES.

The Cabinet to which the King has committed the destinies
of the people of England have but three possible courses to
take.

They must either-
1. Go beyond Lord Melbourne's views of reform ;
2, Or exactly coincide with them ;
3. Or fall short of them.
The whole history of the public lives of the Members of the
present Administration negative the first supposition.
z
If we adore the second; the question naturally occurs—
"eonllfirdhiengthe
re was :all f‘cessity of ousting Lord Melbourne, and
of enr,2rcing his policy to those who had
hitherto opposed him ?"
If we take the last, then we cant: to the generally appre-
hended result, that the sun of Reform is to be, shorn of its
beams ! SHALL WE SUFFER IT TO as SO ?

The second telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated tivs

nal remarks on those dispatches, which were -piAn by
nal de Paris yesterday evening that " It j:iltrange that the
Government should receive news of such the Jour-

theatre of war, which gives with mu) detail the particulars
of the action at Carascal, five leagues. Pampeluna, which
is stated to have taken .plaCe the 13th, and not-
on the. I 2th. The Carlists,l4*32sNoa killed and wounded,
and 36 prisoners. The Queen's•troowhad 180,men killed and
wounded. It seems that faVaur4 ese.onats have also been
received from Arragon. The Carksfib*--made no progress
in that province, and their discouraeeinent in Biscay becomes
greater every day.
The National says—" The Lieutenant-Colonel command-
ing at Tafalla writes on the 13th, at half-past two in the after-
noon, to General Espelea Yesterday there was an action,
and at a critical moment. A column of 200 men, whom the
General-in-Chief had caused to leave Pampeluna, arrived on
tho field of battle, as well as Colonel Gurrea, who hastened
from Artajona ; in a few moments a dreadful carnage was
made in the ranks of the rebels, 400 men were killed, and all
the baggage taken. Many of the rebels threw away thei-
arms, and fled in the greatest disorder. Her Majesty's troops
behaved with extreme valour. The General-in-Chief, though
ill, came on the road with 12 horses. Our loss amounts to six
men killed and some wounded.' "—.3lessager, Dec. 20.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.
William Perch, a respectable-looking lad, about fourteen
years of age, was charged with having shot Thomas Daven-
port, a fine boy, aged thirteen, son of Mr. Davenport, a
tradesman, in Myddleton-street, Clerken well.
Mr. BEN ETT censured the allowing fire-arms to boys,
and remanded the prisoner until the lad's fMe be known.

Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.
Grace illingam, who was stated to be twelve years of
age, but who looked much younger, was charged with steal-
ing half a sovereign from the Governer of the Clieliea
College School.

One of the officers of Chelsea ri ospi tal wished the Ma-
gistrates to proceed with the charge, to make as example
of the prisoner.

Mr. WHITE would not commit the child, as he was posi-
tive it would prove her ruin. If she were taken back to
the school mad punished, she probably might be reclaimed.
The child was then taken back by the Governess, after
receiving a long lecture from the Magistrate on her future
conduct.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mr. DYER was for some sime engaged in investigating a
claim by some firemen for the payment of the usual re-
wards against the Duke of Devonshire. From the evi-
dence adduced on the part of the firemen, it appeared that
a day or two ago they were called to the Doke of Devon-
shire's mansion, where the fire was teen to issue from one
of the kitchen claimnies.

A person from the establishment of his Grace in reply
said there was no fire on the day in question ; the car-
penter might by accident have placed on the fire an extra
faggot of wood, but that would net cause a blaze. It was
a singular fact that when the Duke was in town there never
was any alarm about the chimney being on fire, and yet
those chimnies belonging to the cookery department smoked
like a steam-engine.
Mr. DYER was of opinion that the fire Lad been proved.
and granted the second rewards to the firemen.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—DEc. 20.

(Sittings before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.)
THE KING ON THE PROSECUTION OF DALTON V. JOHNSON.
This was an information against the defendant, charging
him with having exercised, without lawful right, the office
of an alderman of the city of London.
Sir JOHN CAMP➢ELL, in consequence of the pleadings
throwing the affirmative of the chief issue upon the defend-
ant, stated the case to the Jury. The defendant now ex-
ercised the office of alderman of Portsoken Ward, and had
done so since 1833, and the question was whether he was
an usurper in the office, or whether he had been lawfully
appointed. The present proceeding was in the nature of a
quo warranto, and was instituted on the relation of Mr.
Dalton, a freeman of the city of London.
Lord DENMAN recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury
retired from the Court to deliberate, and after being absent
for nearly three quarters of an hour, returned with the fol-
lowing special verdict :—" The Jury are of opinion that the
Court of Aldermen possessed both the power of rejection
and nomination up to the year 1689, and the Learned Judge
having ruled that the Act of the 11th George I. did not
deprive them of that right, the verdict was for the defendant."

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, cornfactors,
in Mark-lane, against the defendants, who carry on the
same business, to recover a sum of 2201., the damages sus-
tained by them in consequence of a cargo of Irish oats
which the defendants had entered into a contract to receive
being refused by them.

LIVERPOOL MARKETS, DEC. 20.

The business during the week jest past has been exceed-
ingly limited. Dealers and spinners continue very indiffer-
ent to our market, though it is well known that the stocks in
the manufacturing districts are extremely low. We reduce
our quotations for Orleans and Alabamaid. per lb. The new
I3oweds are very inferior in quality to the crop of last year.
A public sale of Surats, consisting of 922 bales, took place
yesterday, of which 220 bales were forced off at 7d. per lb.,
and the remainder were taken in at the same price ; but the
whole has been since sold at the same price, being a decline on
this quality of Cotton of Id. per lb. from the highest point.
Speculators this week have taken 1,500 hales Americans,
and 200 Surats, and exporters 100 Surats and 60 American.
The sales made up to last evening are-30 Leeward Islands,

100 Pernambuco, 13d. a 131 d. ; 430 Bahia, llid. a 12d. ;
250 Maranhams, 121 d. a 131 d. ; 70 La Guayra, 104 d. a 11d. ;
20 Egyptian, 161 d. ; 870 Surats, 220 ditto at auction, 7d.-
total, 7,970 bales. Import this week, 6,685 bales. Stock,
149,234 bales. Last year, 187,184 bales.
The sales this day reach merely 800 bales, and prices have
still a tendency to droop.
There has been only a limited demand for British Planta-
tion Sugar, and former prices are with difficulty supported.
The sales amount to 720 casks, and 1,560 bags Mauritius have
also been taken ; very low soft brown at 445. Gd., and good
brown at 525. 6d. per cwt. There are no sales reported in
East India and Foreign. 280 puns. Demerara Molasses hare
been sold at 235. 6d. to 235. per cwt.
COFFEE.-There continues a good demand for Plantation ;
the sales comprise 145 casks of Jamaica, which were readily
taken by the trade at auction, at extreme rates. No sales of
Foreign. No transactions in Cocoa. 20 brls. of Jamaica
Ginger have been sold at Si. 55. to 6/. per cwt. 160 bags
Pimento, at 41d. to 41d. ; 1,150 bags Black Pepper, at 4d.
41d. ; and 250 bags light, for export, at 31d. per lb. Noting
has been done in Carolina Rice. Of East India 2,100 bags
have been sold at I Is. 9d. for ordinary to 13s. per cwt. for
good in bond. Rum continues in good request, and about
170 pins. have been disposed of at 2s. 2d. per gallon for
Common Leeward 1 2s. 9d. to 3s. 6d. for fine to middling
Demerara; and 2s. pd. for ordinary Jamaica.

In the sitting of the Senate yesterday, the 19th, Baron
Pelichy, alluding to the fatal duels that have lately taken place,
expressed a wish that the Minister of Justice would introduces
a project of law for preventing duelling, He thought that the
same rule might be introduced in Belgium, es in the military
code of Austria, Russia, and America, in which countrits
duelling was prohibited, and an officer who trangresses the law
loses his rank, and is declared incapable of serving apin.
The Minister of Justice approved the sentiments of the
Baron, but he thought that the existing laws were sufficient,
and he had already given orders to prosecute duellists.

DREADFUL CONFLICT THIS DAY BETWEEN THE MILITAR t AND

We stop the press to announce that the guard of the Dub-

to the postmaster that a severe conflict took place this day be-
tween a party of the military and a body of the country people,
near Watergrass-hill—that numbers were killed and wounded
—and that he saw four dead bodies lying by the roadside.
He added that the utmost alarm and excitement prevailed for
several miles around.

ONE WORD OF ADVICE TO THE ELECTORS

Reformers can recognise only two classes of persons at
the present moment—those who are Tories, and these who
are not ; the first, the friends of misrule and the supporters
of all abuses ; the second, the friends of good government,
the supporters of all rational and safe reforms.
It is necessary that the electors should determine on the
one great and specific object to be kept in view—to sus-
pend the consideration of all minor differences ; and in the
strength of their unity to defeat the common enemy.
There is but one way to accomplish this effectually;
which is, to suffer no division of the Liberal forces ; but, on
the contrary, to concentrate them, and to treat every person
who comes forward as a candidate, without substantial
grounds for success, as an enemy and traitor to the one
great cause—to consider unworthy of it, every individual
who allows his own vanity or selfish interests to divide or
weaken the common strength.
More than ever it is necessary to abandon personal inte-
rests and private feelings. Our opponents are numerous,
rich, and unprincipled ; with them the struggle will be as
desperate as one for life or death necessarily must be. Their
success depends altogether on our divisions, if we have any ;
their defeat is certain if we be but united.
It is diffrcult, from the nature of the subject, to lay
down practical rules which may be universally applicable ;
but in every case union is essential to success.
In every city, county, and borough, regulate the num-
ber of your candidates according to the force yon possess ;
do not run the risk of losing one member by attempting to
return two. .

The Liberal electors ought every where to meet, and de-
cide upon the candidate who will carry most votes to the
poll; and our frank recommendation is, that in all cases
the minority ought to give way, if their perseverance gives
the remotest chance of victory to the enemy.
The really eligible candidates who may thus be com-
pelled to retire, will have no difficulty, if they retire in time,
of finding other constituencies ; for we can positively as-
sure them, that there is at present a far greater scarcity of
good candidates than of independent constituencies.—

down in direct terms under the circumstances of this case,
in which an infant having a maintenance from his guardian,
that any tradesman who trusted him could not claim upon
the ground of the things supplied being necessaries. Of
this there can be no doubt, but the only thing which throws
doubt in the matter is the reference back to the Master.
Now, I cannot see what probability there was of the trades-
man's being able to make out a better case. It was clear
that the reference was bad if inconsistent with the course
the Court adopts in other cases. The party claiming makes
out a case to the satisfaction of the Master, and having done
so, he went no further, being satisfied with the judgment in
his favour. The Master found in favour of the .claim ; the
Court comes to a conclusion against the claim ; but gives
the party an opportunity of making out a better case. It
is but fair, as the party was stopped in the course of his
evidenoe by the judgment in his favour, which the superior
tribunal sets aside, that he should be allowed to go into fur-
ther evidence.
Petition dismissed with costs.

striving to make up by cunning what they want in
power, have postponed their inquiries. And the Com-
missioners, however wrong in every thing else, are
indisputably right in their choice of a season for re-

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

A numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants
of Salisbury was held in the Council-room, in pursuance of
a requisition from the Mayor. The Mayor summoned the
meeting, but being a Tory, and the Corporation not deem-
ing themselves much indebted to a reforming Government,
and hating, above all, the Municipal Commission, declined
to preside. The following address, however, was proposed,
and carried by loud acclamation :

TO THE RIGHT HON. HENRY LORD I3ROUGHAM AND VAUX, LORD

HIGH CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND,
We, the inhabitants of the city of New Sarum, in the county
of Wilts, assembled together at a public meeting convened by
the Worshipful the Mayor, taking advantage of your Lord-
ship's presence in the immediate vicinity of our city, do beg
most respectfully to tender to your Lordship an expression
of the high opinion which we, in. common with our country-
men, entertain of your Lordship's eminent abilities, and of
the devotion of those abilities to the happiness and welfare of
mankind.

We especially feel grateful for the unremitting and success-
ful endeavours of your Lordship to extend the advantages of
education to all classes of the community ; for your Lord-
ship's anxiety to obtain for the people that facility in
the dispensation of even-handed and economical justice, which
constitutes one of the first privileges of a civilised nation ; and
for that unexampled energy which, during a long career, your
Lordship has displayed in the cause of civil and religious liberty.
We further beg to express our hopes that a life so valuable
to society as your Lordship's will be extended to a distant pe-
riod, and your Lordship will continue to pursue with consist-
ency and determination the splendid line of conduct which
now exact; our gratitude, and which will transmit your Lord-
ship's name to posterity, in connection with the illustrious few
who have conferred important benefits on the human race.

. .
A deputation was then appointed to wait upon the Lord
Chancellor, and to request his Lordship to receive it at
Salisbury, or if he preferred it, to offer that it should be
presented at Longford, stating, however, that this would
occasion a great body of people to proceed from the City to
the Castle, which is between 3 and 4 miles distant. This de-
putation, consisting of J. Brodie, M.P. for Salisbury, Mr. Ald.
Sparshott, Captain Goodall, and Mr. Payne, accordingly
proceeded to Longford, on Thursday morning, and pre-
senting the copy of the address, invited his Lordship to
name the place for receiving the same, stating the desire of
the people of Salisbury to accompany it, if he declined
coming to the city. His Lordship, however, said he should
not think of putting them to such inconvenience, but fixed
twelve on Friday for receiving it at Salisbury, when it is
expected there will be a very large attendance of the inha-
bitants of the city and its neighbourhood.

THE WING OF A BAT.

The wing of the bat is very commonly spoken of as
a wing of leather, and the idea attached to this term
undoubtedly is, that it is composed of a callous mem-
brane ; that it is an insensible piece of stuff like the
leather of a glove or of a lady's shoe ; but nothing can
be farther from the truth. If one were to select an
organ of the most exquisite delicacy and sensibility, it
would be the bat's wing. It is any thing but leather,
and is, perhaps, the most acute organ of touch that
can be found, though it is not easy to understand why
it should be so. Spallanzani, a philosopher as noted
for his extreme cruelty, as for his ingenuity and love
of research, had observed that bats could fly with great
certainty, in rooms, however dark, without striking
against the walls. He found that when their eyes
were covered, they could fly with as much precision as
before ; and even when their eyes were put out, no al-
teration in this respect was observed. When branches
of trees or threads were suspended from the ceiling
they avoided them, nor did they even brush the threads
as they flew past or between them ; and even when the
space between was too small to admit their expanded
wings, they contracted the latter so as to suit their di-
mensions to the breadth of the passage. Spallanzani
thought that the bat must possess a sixth sense. The
organs of vision had been destroyed, and therefore it
could not be by sight that they avoided all obstacles.
In many individuals the ears were stopped, so that it
could not be by hearing; in others the nostrils were
stopped, so that it could not be by smelling ; and taste
is out of the question. The following remarks from
Cuvier are sufficiently demonstrative, I think, that it
is by the acuteness of the sensation of touch in the
wing, and not by any additional sense, that the phe-
nomenon is to be accounted for. " The bones of
the metacarpus, and the phalanges of the four fingers
which succeed the thumb, are excessively elongated.
The membrane which unites them presents an enor-
mous surface to the air ; the nerves which are distri-
buted to it are numerous, and minutely divided ; they
form a network very remarkable for its fineness, and
the number of its anastomoses. It is probable that,
in the action of flight, the air, when struck by this wing,
or very sensible hand, impresses a sensation of heat,
cold, mobility, and resistance on that organ, which in-
dicates to the animal the existence or absence of ob-
stacles which would interrupt its progress. In this
manner' blind men discover by their hands, and even
by the skin of their faces, the proximity of a wall, door
of a house, or side of a street, even without the assist-
ance of touch, or merely by the sensation which the
difference in the resistance of the air occasions."—

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before F. CONST, Esq., Chairman, and a Bench of Magi-

strates, )

SPEEDY JUSTICE. —John Goler, a lad, 13 or 14 years of
age, was convicted of stealing yesterday, from the person
of Mr. Joseph Delaway, in the neighbourhood of the
Strand, a pocket-handkerchief, and sentenced to six months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Charles Qat.leh was indicted for embezzling 4d., the pro-
perty of his master, a Mr. Samuel Dexter, a portly-looking
cow-keeper, on the 9th of June ; and also with purloining
a similar sum on a subsequent day.
The prisoner was a carrier out of milk for the prosecu-
tor, and in that capacity took the sums in question, without
accounting to his master for them.
On the cross-examination of Mr. Dexter by Mr. DOANE,
he stated that on finding the prisoner was soliciting the pa-
tronage of his customers for himself, he instituted the pre-
sent prosecution against him. The prisoner had been in
his employ upwards of seven years.
Several witnesses stated that they had received milk from
the prisoner in June last, which he had not taken any no-
tice of to the prosecutor.

Several witnesses gave the prisoner a most excellent cha-
racter, and the Jury acquitted him.

BUCKHAVEN.

The complaint that the fishing has failed has been checked
by an occurrence of a more calamitous and disastrous na-
ture. Sixty-two boats were at the fishing stations, each
er gaged for 250 cranes of herrings ; of that number only five
or six made 170, and there are many who did not make out
30, whilst, we understand, there were hundreds of boats at
the stations who did not make 10 ; some had not oat two.
The expense connected with this perilous profession is very
great ; a boat with its appendages is rained at 170/. ; 100
cranes arc necessary to defray the expenses of living and
the " wear and tear" of nets and boats. The 62 boats will
average between 70 and 80 cranes each, so that at an ave-
rage each boat, besides ten weeks' trouble and toil, will lose
from 10/ to 141. by this year's exhibition. It falls short of
former years by about 2,500/. or 3,000/., and is, we believe,
from the nearest calculations, 4,000/. below last year's
fishing. In addition to all, we may remark, that nets are
frequently lost, whilst whales and dog-fish destroy a great
many others ; masts are broken, anchors are lost, and all
must be replaced before they again . return to sea. The
long fleet of boats lying along the east end of the village is
of no use for ten months to come ; the summer nets are also
unfit for the winter trade, and all are dead property in the
hands of the owner. They have returned from the harvest
of the deep, but their toils and cares are not diminished ;
whilst all around them sleep, they rise at the dead of the
night, and launching their little skiff on the water, are again
exposed to storm and tempest amid the dashing spray
and piercing cold.—Fife Herald.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

These Sessions commenced yesterday morning before the
Chairman, F. Const, Esq., and a bench of Magistrates.

ROBBERY AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE.
William Hill, a respectable looking man, was indicted for
stealing various silver labels, napkins, and other articles, the
property of his Majesty.
The prisoner had been in the employment of the Board
of Green Cloth, and worked in St. James's Palace. He
had access to the various articles named in the indictment,
and suspicion fell on him. The yeomen of the linen de-
partment and other parties went to the prisoner's residence,
and found some napkins. Afterwards it was discovered that
the prisoner had pawned several labels and other property.
The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, nor did
he call any witnesses.
The Jury found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced
him to seven years' transportation.
