LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S VISIT TO DEVON.
—EXETER, SEPT. 6.—Electioneering movements are be-
comming " uncommon active" here, as JONATHAN says.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL arrived on Tuesday last, and imme-
diately proceeded to Totnes, the head-quarters of the South
Hammers, his Lordship's staunchest supporters and friends.
His journey down was not unattended with danger to his
Lordship, as a rustic booby contrived to drive a cart half-
way through his travelling-chariot, smashing the panel all
to pieces. In this state his Lordship entered Taunton, on
Saturday evening, and proceeded thence to the residence of
the Rev. SIDNEY SMITH, at Combe Florey, spending a
delightful Sabbath with the Reverend biographer of the
" venerable Mrs. PARTINGTON." On Monday he pro-
ceeded to Castle-hill (Earl FORTESCUE'd), and on Tuesday,
as above stated, he arrived at Totnes. His Lordship is
now, we believe, at Bystock, the seat of Mr. DIYE'TT, the
candidate for Exeter. Bystock is situate not far from
Bicton, the seat of Lord RoLLE, who will not feel vety
comfortable in having the author of the " Revolutionary
Rill" so close to his residence. Lord RoLLE is exceedingly
crusty on the subject of Reform. At Tutnes Lord JOHN
dined at the Seven Stars, with the yeomen, at the plebeian
hour of one o'clock. The dinner was nothing more than
the customary " great market" ordinary, and lacked
nothing of substantiality. Of course the yeomen looked
for a speech, and after the cloth had been removed, his
Lordship briefly addressed them. If the electors thought
they had gone too far, now was the time to hold back ;
hut if they were of opinion that the powerful machine of
reform would work well, the only thing that remained
with them was, to give it that support which they alone
could impart to it, and that which alone was required to
set it in motion. For himself he could claim nothing on
private considerations. The T ries had given out that be wa+
not friendly to agricul,ure. He never had and never would
support any system but that which was friendly to the
agriculturist. The whole Administration, and parti-
cularly Earl GREY, were most anxious for the prosperity
of the agriculturist. In short, his Lordshipsaid, this was
one of the must complete bugbears the Tories bad ever
brought forward. For himself be would say, that when-
ever the question of the Corn Laws was brought forward,
it would receive the very hest attention he could possibly
give it. But there was a system which stood before the
question of Corn Laws, and which would require the
earliest awl most earnest attention of the Reformed Par-
liament. He meant the tithe system.—(Cheers, which
lasted several minutes.) He said that the tithe system re-
quired consideration ; first because the Corn Laws, as his
friend Lord EBRINGTON had observed, had really worked
better than lie had himself at first expected them to do,—
(Hear, hear.) He hoped and trusted that some system
would be adopted with reference to the tithes, that would
not only effectually settle the question, but do justice to
all patties.

THE YOUNG NEWCASTLE, ALIAS LORD
LINCOLN, AT NEWARK.—Lord LINCOLN, Who had pre
viously issued an address to the electors of the southern di-
vision of Nottinghamshire, made his debut to the people
of Newark on W, dnesday, at 12 o'clock, from the Clinton
Arms. In the morning great efforts were made to get a
large number of friends to receive the young aristocrat.
The poor young man entered the town acccompanied by Sir
R. BROMLEY, Dr. PARKER, Illijor HALL, Messrs. GOD-
next, HARVEY, ROBINSON, PEET (late a publican), CHAP•
LIN, BURNABY, FOSTER, and about six more, including two
or three Parsons. What a contrast to former times ! At
previous elections some hundreds of the squirearchy always
accompanied their liege Lord—but here was just fifteen !
Having commanded the band to be silent, the young Lord
addressed the few persons assembled. He commenced by
saying he was very young, and did not feel that be ought
to come forward to represent a great county, but his
friends bad compelled him. He trusted they would not
ask him for any pledges on abstract points, for he had
none to give. He spoke very hesitatingly and inaudibly.
He moved neither limb nor muscle, but looked more like a
sacrifice brought to the altar of boroughmongering than
a candidate whose heart was in the cause. Everybody
seemed to pity him, and many felt indignant at his noble
father for placing him in so cruel a position ; but " has
he not a ri4ht,to do what he likes with his own?" The idea
of sending such an upgrown child to make laws for 100
millions of British subjects was a farce scarcely to be
tolerated. After this farce had ter urinated the young can-
didate walked into the market-place, when he was ac-
costed by a person, who said, " My Lord, would you like
to see any of the discharged and ruined tenants of your
father?" He winced, but a " good-natured friend". said
" for shame ! would you accuse Lord LINCOLN of the
crimes of the Duke of NEWCASTLE ?"—Stamford News.
EFFECT OF LIGHTNINGL—Between 12
and I o'clock yesterday morning, as the violent thunder-
storm which passed over the metropolis was abating, the
neighbourhood of St. John's Wood, Regent's Park, was
thrown into a state of great alarm by a terrific noise,
resembling the discharge of a whole park of artillery.
It was discovered to have been caused by the electric fluid
tmi
oonn d ;sot r e et
the
Li
extentsso
striking the walls of the parish stone yard,. situate Rich-
n.
forms part of the embankment of the. south side of the
' Canal,and is immediately adjoining the extre-
mityßegent s
of the tunnel, which is carried for a quarter of a
g of v
eaaurdi
y rendingthirty yards. This
its.T htu
mile under the road. The wall, havinginto huge masses, fell into the canal with tremendous vio-
lence, carrying with it an immense quantity of earth,
been detached
gravel, lam'., completely choking up the mouth of the tun-
nel, 'lntl it over flowed the owing-path to a very consi.
derable extent, and even rending the very piles on which
the
wall is constructed. Four persons, who were on
t
board a barge that ha,l just entered the tunnel, most provi-
dentially escaped destruction ; if they had been a second
or two later they must have inevitably been overwhelmed
in the falling ruins. Two other barges were following in
the same direction a short distance off, and very
narrowly
escaped bein.; swamped, as they were driven with exces-
sive violence against the bank by the furious rush of the
water. Mr. Inspector DUNBAR, of the S division, who
Was on duty on the spot, promptly attended with several of

hie men, and assisted in extricating the boatmen from filet/
perilous situation. The passage of the canal, is for the
present entirely stopped.

We regret to learn that Mr. GODWIN, son
of the celebrated author, died this morning of cholera.
He was one of the Reporters for the Morning Chronicle.
SERJEANT-SURGEON.—We understand that
Mr. BRODIE is to be Serjeant-Surgeon to the Ktwo, in the
room of Sir E. Home. It is said that his late MAJESTY
had made this appointment a matter of special request to
his Royal Brother, then Duke of CLARENCE, when it was
all but certain that he would be his immediate successor
to the Crown.—Medical Gazette.

At a sale by auction, by Mr. CROCKETT,
last week, the enormous sum of 4251. was obtained for
2a. Ir. 2Sp. of orchard and meadow land, near the vil-
ia2e of Shrewton, in this county.—.Devizes Gazette.

During the sale of the celebrated Hafod
estate, the other day, the auctioneer described the wines as
beirLT of a superior quality, and as being greatly mellowed
and improved by having been locked up during the con-
tinuance of a Chancery suit. This is the only description
of property we should think that ever was improved by
such a process.

ERECTION OF ALMS-HOUSES TO COM.
MEMORATE THE REFORM BILL.-At the Mansion House
yesterday, Mr. SHOODRIDGE, of Cheapside, Mr. COLE-
MAN, and several respectable inhabitants of the city,
waited on the LORD MAYOR, and presented his Lordship
with a requisition signed by 200 citizens, some of them
influential bankers, calling on him to convene a Public
Meeting to consider the propriety of adopting measures
for the erection of almshouses for the reception of decayed
householders of the city, or their widows, in order to
commemorate the passing of the Reform Bill, which col:i-
-f-Ts such important rights on the householders of the city.
The LORD MAYOR said that he should have great pleasure
in calling the meeting. It is expected to take place in a
few days at the London Tavern.
TITHE COMPOSITION ACT.—We think it
necessary to call the particular attention of every one con-
cerned to an important clause of the Tithe Composition
Act. In all cases wherein a composition for tithes shall
not have been effected within thrte months after the pa-s-
-ing of this Act (16th of August) the Lord Lieutenant is
authorised to appoint a Commissioner to carry its provi-
sions into operation. We are happy to learn that the pa-
rishes are coming formed in anticipation of the effects of
this clause.—Dublin Times.

A remarkably fine specimen of the Onagar, or
wild ass, has just been received at the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. It was taken in a pitfall, in Astrachan, and
brought to England in the Victory, Captain BineN.
The animal has an elegant deer-like appearance, standing
high on the legs, is active, of a silvery c lour, with a
blackish brown mark running along the back. It cannot
be said that the species has improved by domestication, for
a greater contrast to the dull, shaggy, stubborn denizen of
the streets, cannot he imagined. This is the species of
animal termed the Wild Ass in Scripture, of which it is
said they frequent the salt places of the earth, and a proof
of the truth of this statement is, that the specimen now is
this country prefers salt water to fresh.

Miss SEWARD relates an extraordinary in'
stance of contagion in one of her letters. The plague
raged in 1666 at Eyam, in Derbyshire, of which place
she was a native, to a great extent. "In the summer
of 1757," says Miss S., " five cottagers were digging is
the healthy mountain above Eyam, which was the place of
graves after the churchyard became too narrow a reposi'
tory. These men came to something which had the ap-
pearance of having once been linen; conscious of their
situation they instantly buried it again. In a few days
they all sickened of a putrid fever, and three of the five
died. The disorder was contagious, and proved mortal to
numbers of the inhabitants. My father, who was the
Canon of Lichfield, resided in that city with his family 0
the period when the subtle, unextingishtd, though much-
subdued p aver of the most dreadful of all diseases awak.
cued from the dust in which it had sltnilered 91 years."
IRISH EFFRONTERY. —The crew of a man
of war, which had just returned from a long voyage, was
one day busily employed in bringing up the hammocks on
deck to air, and as each man appeared with his load, h 8
reported the number to a young lieutenant stationed on the
poop. An Irishman, named MYRPHY, was near the fast.
As soon as he gained the deck the officer demanded ,s whaC
number?" " 12, your honour," was the immediate reply;
"12! that can't be, look again." "It is, your honour.

hammock, and turning suddenly round, with all the warmth
of offended authority, exclaims, " Why, you rascal, whet
do you mean by telling me it's 12, when it is child/
444 ?" " Lord love your honour," says Pat, seratchid
his be .d, and casting a comical leer at the officer, "1 b 0

till now that 3 times 4 made 12."—Comic Magazine.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday, an awful in'
trance of the uncertainty of human life occurred at the
house of Mr. REVELI., architect and builder, Charles'
street, Tottenham-court-road. At 9 o'clock in tbe
morning, the family had taken breakfast, all in thelf
usual health, and particularly cheerful, when Afri.
REVELL left the table to give some directions to the
s:rvant respecting dinner, and then retired to her bed'
room for the purpose of arranging some domestic affair*
as was her usual custom. Exactly at 25 minutes pal
9 Mr. REVELL had occasion to speak to his wife, a",
directed his servant to call her mistress. The servari;
did so repeatedly, but obtaining no answer, Mr. IteVeLr'e
himself went up stairs, and on entering the bed-room"'
found his wife prostrate on the floor, a corpse. Medic,
assistance was immediately called, and as promptly et;
tended, but the vital spark was extinct. Thus, in It
short spice of 25 minutes, this happy and respectat
family was reduced to a state of distress which maY
conceived, but cannot be described. The deceased 011
39 years of age.
SINGULAR DEATH BY STEAMING.---4,11
inquest was held last night at the Bell and Crown, Kil*;ti
road, on the body of a boy named W. Wax's, aged se! e
years. It appeared that the deceased had taken se:,
grapes from Mr. ARNOLD'S garden, situate next his,ri
ther's (a bricklayer) house in the Kingsland-road.
ARNOLD has paper-mills on his premises, which
worked by a steam-engine. Two men, named Bows,;
and HARLEY, employed by Mr. ARNOLD, had Seen fb
id
boy steal the grapes, and on the following day (F 11!):::
week) they caught him, and said they would steam hi".'
One held the head of the deceased down to the safes}:
valve, while the other turned the valve, and let the ste'"i
off upon him. This process of steaming was repeated
three or four times, when the deceased cried out " murdered
and he was released. He returned home, looking
and frightened, but otherwise uninjured. The next
'
he was taken ill. He complained of pain in his head, athe
he died on Sunday. His eyes had become fixed, and et
mass of his blood changed. It appeared that the stesoi,
could escape without scalding, and there was every rea;,,,
to believe the poor fellow had died of fright. Tee
after a deliberation of upwards of an hour, returned a If
diet of Manslaughter against the two Tex, JOHN 80we..0
and JOHN HARLEY, who were forthwith committed ale
the Coroner's warrant to Newgate.
