MR. TV. 11. GLADSTONE AT WHITBY.

There seems to have been a scene at Whitby on Thurs-
day when the poll was declared. After the usual formali-
ties the candidates proceeded to address the electors, and a
row occurred, of which such different accounts are
given by the rival local reporters that it is
only fair to let each tell his own story. The
Leeds Mercury says :—" Mr. Gladstode briefly thanked the
electors, but the pinks (Conservative), a great portion of
whom were females, screamed and hissed so pertinaciously
that scarcely a word could be heard. Major Worsley also
thanked his supporters, and professed to be perfectly
satisfied with the result of the contest. Subsequently, he
made some personal remarks of an offensive character
respecting his successful opponent, offering to lay a wager
that it was the last time Mr. Gladstone would be seen in
Whitby. The incessant clamour which the Conservative
party kept up when Mr. Gladstone was speaking was
renewed when the returning-officer addressed them, the
reason being that they accuse Mr. Buchanan of giving an
incorrect decision as to the show of hands at the nomina-

tion, although there can be no doubt the majority was
largely against them. Mr. Gladstone was afterwards
chaired and carried in procession, preceded by a band
of music, through the town, the church bells ringing out a
merry peal, and the people hurrahing in the most enthu-
siastic manner." The Yorkshire Post (Con.) gives the fol-
lowing version of the affair :—" Major Worsley, the
defeated candidate, cater predicting that they would not
see Mr. Gladstone after that day, aid saying he had worn
Whitby out, appealed to the electors to bury the hatchet,
to let bygones be bygones, to settle all petty differences
caused by the past contest, and to continue to
live in harmony and good fellowship. He had no animosity
against Mr. Gladstone, his political and successful
opponent, and although he (Major Worsley) was the
beaten candidate, would gladly shake hands in token of
his friendly feelings towards him. Tho gallant major
then moved on to where Mr. Gladstone stood and tendered
his hand, but the honourable gentleman had the exceed-
ingly bad taste to decline to take it. This was a
signal for vehement expressions of disapprobation from all
sides, so much so that the remonstrances of those on the
hustings were completely drowned. Mr. Gladstone was,
however, understood to say that he would not shake
hands in public, but would, perhaps, do so in private.
Major Worsley said he would be willing to do that, and
might, at the same time, have a word ,or two to
say to him. When the proceedings had closed,
a rush was made by each party to seize their respective
favourities and chair them. Major Worsley, Mr. John
Chapman, Mr. Bagnall, and Mr. Ramsay were put on chairs
and carried through the streets. Mr. Gladstone, Mr.Maule,
Captain Turton, and Mr. G. J. W. Farsyde were mounted
in like manner."

THE LATE CAMBRIDGESHIRE ELECTION

Mr. Young, the late M.P. for Cambridgeshire (who was
beaten at the general election by Mr. Brand), and who is
now candidate for King's Lynn, had an appeal on before
the Court of Queen's Bench on Friday. It was an appeal
from the decision of Mr. W. H. Cooke, Deputy-Judge of
the County Court of Cambridgeshire, and it came before
their lordships on a special case. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was
counsel for the appellant, Mr. Young; Mr. Mellish, Q.C.,
for the respondent, Mr. Peacock ; Mr. Dowdeswell, Q.C.,
appeared on behalf of the Deputy County Court Judge,
who has been made a party to the rule. Mr.
Hawkins said this was a plaint for damages done
to the windows of the plaintiff, a furniture dealer, carry-
ing on business at Wisbeach. He only appeared for Mr.
Young, who denied his liability, and not for the unhappy
White, an intelligent labourer, who was identified as one
who committed the damage. The damage was committed
during the late parliamentary election, and during the
progress of the appellant, Mr. Young, through the town,
upon an occasion when the populace took out his
horses, and drew bins through the streets in
triumph. After hearing the arguments, the Lord
Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, said the
case turned on the Judge's finding, the effect of which,
taken as a whole, was this : Mr. Young accepted the ser-
vices of the people to drag him and his carriage in triumph
through the town of Wisbeach, and that, in the course
of his progress, windows wore broken by the crowd which
was in his favour, and was accompanying him; and that,
whilst he remonstrated with them for so doing, and endea-
voured, so far as language could do, to put a stop to the
proceedings, he nevertheless did one or two things which
a prudent man, under such circumstances, had better
have abstained from doing. In answer to the gratifying
salutations of his partisans of both sexes, he in return
waved his hat ; and the County Court Judge had found
that it was calculated to have, and (lid have, the effect of
encouraging the mob, and that that was an imprudent
course of proceeding ; that, had Mr. Young stopped his
carriage, and stopped the procession, in all probability the
excitement and its mischievous consequences would have
ended. He (the learned Chief Justice), looking at it as
such, could not say that because a gentleman was
accompanied by a crowd in his canvass in the course of an
election, who were not his agents, and doing nothing by
way of employing them, but who were bent on doing mis-
chief, that because he did what was at most an imprudent
act, he should be held liable for damage. Under the cir-
cumstances, he thought the finding of the County Court
judge was wrong, and must be reversed, and that the rule
against Mr. Cooke must be discharged with costs.
The other learned judges concurred.
Judgment accordingly.

The Levant Herald states that Nevrez Pasha, bash-
mussahib (head buffoon) at the Turkish Court, has been
dismissed. This makes the eighth time this lively official
has experienced similar fortune.
The Medical Times understands that the Poor-
law Board have addressed the governors of some of the
larger of the London hospitals with the view as ascertain-
ing whether they are prepared to receive and treat pauper
patients. On learning the particulars of the number who
could be accommodated, and of the terms on which their
maintenance and treatment could be arranged, the board
will endeavour to effect satisfactory arrangements between
the hospital authorities and the guardians of those places
in which additional provision for the sick poor is required.
THE EXHIBITION AT ROME.—The Exhibition
building at Rome is now nearly complete, and will be in
every way a worthy receptacle for the treasures of
Christian art. The Quadrangle of Santa Maria clegli Angell
was one of the architectural triumphs of Michael Angelo,
and in the centre of tho beautiful court, surrounded by a
cloister, and supported by a hundred columns, stand a
fountain and a group of magnificent cypresses,
planted by the hand of the great master. M.
Vespignani, to whom the task of arrangement has been
entrusted, has designed a parterre on the plan of tho
Crystal Palace round this fountain, and thence a glazed
roof is thrown from wooden pillars, running into four
covered arcades, which will form the space reserved for
works of art. Local committees are being formed at
Brussels, Paris, Vienna, and other cities, to which objects
shall be submitted before they are sent to Rome. The
English Gothic depot appears to be at Bruges conjointly
with that of Belgium. Many well-known manufacturers
of Gothic art are expected to exhibit.
