" Five Pouiads Reward !

" Wanted immediately—Two Candidates in the ' Red
and Green Interest.'

"In consequence of the last rout and defeat of the Mar-
nues-s of Exeter and his subservient corporation, and the
determination of the independent electors to return Cap-
tain Gregory at the head of the poll in the ensuing elec-
tion, two candidates for the red party (from a distance)
are wanted immediately—the two old ones being sick and
indisposed.

" As the last contest cost the Marquess of Exeter (for
Lord T. Cecil) and Colonel Chaplin upwards of 10,0001.,
it is particularly urged that nothing be said to a new comer
on the subject of money, for fear of his bolting.
"(Private.)--The fact of a swarm of locust lawyers and
hired agents, the vulurcs of a losing cause, should be care•
fully concealed from the flats who may be brought forward.

" N. B. The Juvenile Committee, which last year un-
happily cost 3,0001., will, on this occasion, be dispensed
with, but it is the only practicable retrenchment that can
be allowed by the vultures."

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.—PAR-
LIAMENTARY PLEDGES.
Yesterday afternoon a very numerous and highly
respectable public meeting of the electors of the
borough of Marylebone, which includes the populous
and exten%ive parishes of St. Marylebone, St. Pan•
eras, and Paddington, was held in the large room of
the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's Wood, for the
purpose of considering of the measures which they
will require their representatives to support in Par-
liament.

JOSEPH HUME, Esq. M.P., was unanimously
called to the Chair, which he accepted amid the
most enthusiastic cheering.
The Hon. CllinstAN rose, and spoke to the follow-
ing effect :—He was at all times most anxious to
further the wishes of his fellow-parishioners, especially
on an occasion like the present, when they were
assembled to consider what measures they would
require those representatives they elected to support
in Parliament. The meeting was aware that Com-
mittees had been appointed in each of the ti ree
great parishes within the district, preparatory to the
present highly important meeting. Those Committees,
he was happy to say, had faithfully discharged the
trust reposed in them, and had convened the present
meeting for the purpose of laying before it such pledges
as they called upon the electors of this large borough
to require, and obtain from the candidates before
they gave them their votes. The eyes of the world
were fixed upon the metropolitan districts, it having
been stated by the Anti-Reformers that the electors
could not conduct themselves with propriety at
elections. The Hon. Gentleman trusted that eve!),
one present would give those Anti-Reformers the
lie direct, by acting as became free-born Englishmen
on the present occasion. Now that the people of
this borough had the elective franchise for the first
time conferred upon them, it was to be exercised
with purity and independence for the general inte-
rests of the community. The Constitution stated
that there should be no taxation without repre•
sentation, which was the foundation of the institu-
tion of the House of Commons. None but men of
talent, of integrity, of business, and indefatigability,
were eligible to be returned as Members of Parlia-
ment, for already were the evils of long-continued
misrule and selfishness apparent from the return of
men divested of those qualifications. But for the
election of such representatives the Reform Bill
will, in its beneficial effects, become inoperative.
He trusted the electors of this borough would set
an example to the rest of the electors of the United
Kingdom, by the proper selection to represent their
interests in Parliament. The electors should obtain
pledges from the candidates before they gave them
their support, though he should not like to see the elec•
tors binding their representatives to the imrnediatAlkay
that they should advocate what they were pledged
to support, for then they would become merely dele-
gates, and not representatives. The object of the
electors should be, cheap law, cheap government,
cheap bread, cheap knowledge. No dissolution of
Parliament could take place till the month of De-
cember, and as there was a clause in the Reform
Act which enacted that all poor-rates and assess-
ments due on the 6th of April last, must be paid by
the 20th of this month, to entitle the rate-pa) ers
to vote, it behoved the electors to petition the
legislature to extend the time for the payment of
these rates. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by
calling upon the meeting to hear every speaker with
attention, and impartiality.
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, Bart., read the petition
addressed to the House of Commons, and in a
speech of great length and ability, shewed the evil
that would be entailed upon the Reformers of Eng-
land, were the prayer of the petition not granted.
The Hon. Blronet said he had had an interview
with Lord John Russell and Sir John Cam Hob-
house, Bart., upon the subject, and they had ex-
pressed the deep solicitude of his Majesty's Govern.
ment that the people should have their just rights.
The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving the reso-
lution.

After a few words from Mr. SAVAGE, Mr. HAY-
DON, and Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, the petition was
agreed to.
Mr. REVELL then came forward, and was received
with loud cheers. After a few prelatory remarks
upon the necessity of demanding and obtaining
pledges from the candidates before they gave thern
their suffrage, he proposed resolutions seriatim, that
the following be the pledges, namely, the advocacy
of cheap government ; a sound and rational system
of national education, free from pecuniary pains or
sectarian exclusion and legislative enactments ; to
prevent rather than punish crime; the repeal of the
poor and the excise laws; the abolition of the pu-
nishment of death, except in cases of murder; the
abolition of tithes, and ail abuses of the church es-
tablishment ; the repeal of the corn laws ; the due
and effectual administration of justice; the election
by the people of their own magistrates; the removal
of all restrictions upon the press and the diffusion of
knowledge; the abolition of all useless offices, and
the repeal of all unmerited pensions ; the reduction
of the staff and standing army ; the abolition
of the impressment of seamen, and of naval and
nuiitary flogging; a sufficient control over the police
Mice by the parishioners, and a reduction in its ex-
penditure ; the definition of the law of libel, and the
Punishment thereof; a repeal of the Septennial Act ;
equal rights to England, Scotland, and Ireland ; the
establishment of the ballot at all elections ; that they
will give a constant attendance in the House of
Commons and at the Committees ; and resign their
seats whenever called upon to do so by a majority
of their constituents at a public meeting duly con-
vened in the borough. [The whole of the resolu-
tions were received with the most deafening an

~; \~~,l

etithu4astic cheering, which lasted several minutel
If, said ?Jr. Revell, these advantages be gained by
the Reform Nil, he would, to the latest moment f
his life, bless the day when the rights of Englishmen
were restored.

Mr. MURPHY, in seconding the resolutions, made
an energetic appeal to the meeting to support, not
only the above resolutions, but also to pledge the
Members to whcm they gave their suffrages to sup-
port the repeal of all taxes which press upon the
indu,try of the people.
The resolutions, including Mr. Murphy's, were
carried unanimously.
Mr. GUTHRIE proposed, and Mr. CRAWIORD
seconded, a resolution to the effect that the Mem,-
bers pledge themselves to support the abolition of
all property qualifications both in the elccters arid
the elected.
The resolution was carried nem. con.

Mr. HALL proposed that the Mernbers of Parlia&
ment for this borough should be returned to Parlia-
ment free of all expense.
Mr. WartuotN, an operative, seconded the reso
lotion in a very sensible speech, and it was agreed to.
A committee was then appointed to tarry the re-
solutions into effect, and a liberal collection was made
at the doors.

Three cheers havingbeen given to the Hon. Chair-
man, the meeting dispersed.

PECKHAM MEETING.

Yesterday, a most gratifying spectacle was exhi-
bited at Peckham. A dinner was given to the
working classes by their more opulent neighbours,
to celebrate the Reform Bills. Mr. Benjamin
Wood presided. He was supported on his right
and left by his brother, the Alderman, Mr. Palmer,
Me. Tennyson, the candite for Lambeth, who had
been i►►vited to attend, and several other gentlemen.
Roast beef and plum pudding were provided in
abundance for 700 people, who conducted them-
selves in the most orderly manner; a►►d the whole
went off so as to prove that reformers of the poorest
classes cart meet, even for the purposes of conviality,
without realizing the predictions, and perhaps, the
wishes, of their political opponents.
Several toasts were given, attended by appropri-
ate speeches, and it afforded us great satisfaction to
observe that the King's health was drunk with pe-
culiar enthusiasm, and that the most constitutional
spirit prevailed throughout. " God save the King"
was sung by the whole company, standing.
Mr. TENNYSON'S health v%as also proposed, in
connexion with the Reformers of England, and
that gentleman was received in a manner which
must have convinced him that he is perfectly secure
of his election; for although the majority who sat at
the tables might not be voters, an immense assem-
blage of electors witnessed the enlivening scene.
Mr. TENNYSON addressed them in an impressive
speech, suitable to the occasion, which was loudly
cheered. He proposed the health of Mr. Alterman
Wood, who seems to retain all the gayety and po-
pularity which ever belonged to him.

Various patriotic toast;, intermingled with song•,
occupied the company till about seven o'clock, when
Alley broke up, highly delighted with their enter-
tainment. It was spread under an extensive booth,
which was graced by the presence of great numbers
of the fair sex, from the most respectable classes of
scciety, who came as spectators.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-There was
found in the gills of a large haddock, purchased in Perth
market last week, a gold mounted brooch, with a real
amethyst stone in it.—Scotsman.

A young woman, a nursemaid to Lad,
BERKELEY, of Chester street, Grosvenor-place, was take
ill at one o'clock on Tuesday and died at four. It is said
that it was a decided case of cholera. Another servant
remains ill. The family have left the house in consequensye.
The father and mother of a young girl afflicted
with rheumatic pa'ns determined on curing her ; and,
according to the advice of one of those female physicians
who are to he found in every village, they placed the girl in
an oven, where she expired after about thirty-five minutes'
suffering. Brought before the Tribunal of Correctional
Police of Autun, the father and mother, who were proved
to have behaved tenderly towards their dau4hter, and the
female doctor, were condemned—the first to a fine of five
francs, and the two others to five days' imprisonment.--

DRAMATIC STORIES.—Mr. THOMAS A 'l-
som), son of the proprietor of one of our favourite sum-
mer theatres, has just published, under the above title, a
series of stories of various countries combining great
dramatic power and effect. The public, we understand,
will shortly have an opportunity of witnessing their repre-
sentation on the London boards; this appears, indeed, to
have been the author's grand aim in writing the work.

Lord DUNCANNON has made arrangements
with the parish-officers of St. George and Chelsea, to
widen Grosvenor-bridge, at the lower end of Eaton-
square, to make it more convenient for his MAJESTY to
pass when he comes to town from Windsor, up the
King's-road. In its present state it is inconvenient and
dangerous for foot passengers.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—Yesterday morn-
ing the Qd battalion of the 2d Regiment, or Coldstream
Guards, marched from the Tower, on thrir route to Dub-
lin ; the 2d battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier
Guards, from Portman-street Barracks to the Tower;
and the 34 battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier
Guards, from the temporary barracks at Hornsey, to the
King's-mews, Charing-cross; the Ist battalion of the Ist
Regiment of Grenadier Guards, from the King's-mews to
Portman-street Barracks. We are sorry to have to an-
nounce that, in consequence of the state of Ireland, a
prompt addition to its military force has been deemed
necessary, and that the following regiments are now under
orders for that distracted country :—The 14th, the 85th,
the 90th, and the 91. t. This last regiment commenced
its march for Manchester, to embark at Liverpool. The
80th Regiment has been recently sent to Ireland, and a
battalion of the Guards is now on i-s march to supply the
place of the battalion which has just returned from Dublin.

DUEL.—At five o'clock on Wednesday
evening Messrs. O'BRIEN and O'MariortY, both of Mit.
chelstown, and both of anti-tithe notoriety, met in
Castle Hyde demesne to settle a dispute which originated
in a motion respecting the mob assembli• s denominated
Anti•tithe Meetings. They were just placed on the
ground by the seconds, when Mr. CORBAN, a neig ,bour
ing Magistrate, who had been apprised of their intentions,
appeared in sight, and the hostile parties had only time to
tire one round, which nearly proved fatal to Mr.
O'MAHorty, he having received the ball in his back parts,
somewhere below the hip, where it lodged; but Dr.
Dowrima extracted it on the spot. Mr. O'BRIEN had
narrowly escaped from the violence of the mob, having
been obliged to drive his chaise across a fordable part of
the Blackwater, and afterwards to hide in a lime-kiln.
His house in Mitchelstown has been demolished, I under-
stand, and vengeance denounced against those who will
drink the porter which he sells on commission for Messrs.
BEA mist' and CRAWFOILD..-...Cork Constitution.

THE PITMEN.--A MAN SHOT.—The
differences which still unhappily exist between the pitmen
and the coalowners, have just led to a further destruc
Lion of human life. Yesterday evening (Sunday, July 8),
in consequence of some of the pitmen having threatened
to prevent any of the men lately hired fur Burdon Main
colliery, near North Shields, from going to work there,
RALPH FuLcus and other constables went to afford protec-
tion to them and to the colliery. On their passing Dos-
soN's public-house, a short distance from the village of
Chinon, a pitman, who was sitting on the railway, used
very abusive language towards them, and said, " Never, a
k
black legged should go to work that night." arA:us
lesred him to go away, but he would not, and finding
remonstrance had no effect, he took him into custody.
Immediately on this a nurNber of pitmen coming from the
direction of DOBSON'S hous?, attacked the police officers,
and forcibly rescued the prisoner from them. One of ti e
constables, MATTHEW RAISE, was knocked down, and a
general scuffle took place. The pitmen had greatly the
advantage in number, there being about thirty of them,
while there were five only of the police. One of the pit-
men, of the name of CUTHBERT SKIPSEY, endeavoured
to wrest a pistol from GEORGE WEDDELL, a constable,
and succeeded in throning hits on the ground. On this
Mairror:w RAINE struck SKIPSP.Y'S hand and obliged
him to release his hold. WEDDELL, thus relieved, re-
treated fur some distance, but finding he was pursued by
SKIPSEY he fired, and SKIPSEY staggered a few yards and
fell down dead. These are the circumstances as far as we
have been able to ascertain them. No coroner's inquest
has yet been held. The pitmen seem resolved to carry
every thing by phy6ieal force.—Tyne Mercury.
