TEWKESBURY.

ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDEN.
CLOSE OF THE FIRST DAY'S POLL.
Mr. Joseph Smith, a Reformer
Mr. Rich. Rickford, formerly a Reformer, but now a Tory

Majority

The Duchess of Northumberland has made a dona-
tion of fifty volumes of the most interesting modern publica-
tions to Alnwick Library.
Some of the Journals which have been for months
past vituperating Lord Brougham with viperous venom, are
now lauding him, and expatiating on his merits. His Lord-
ship, however, is just as indifferent to their praise as he has
been regardless of their abuse, and the public know full well
how to appreciate both, as also the hollow cause that has called
forth such gratuitous kindness.

Prince Esterhazy, we are very sorry to state, has
abandoned the intention of settling in this country ; and, in
consequence, all the extensive alterations and improvements at
Chandoa House are given up. The Prince intends remaining
until the autumn ; and we hear that his Princess is expected
in a few days to take a last farewell of her fashionable friends.
The walks in St. James's Park are undergoing a
thorough repair. They have been newly gravelled, and the
principal promenade has been widened by removing the stone
drainage at the north side. The whole of the Park will be
put in the best possible state before their Majesties remove to
the new palace.

Various reports have prevailed respecting the occu-
pation of Buckingham Palace by their Majesties next month ;
they are without foundation, for not one article of State fur-
niture has yet been placed in any of the apartments, and the
workmen are still engaged in some parts of the interior. Her
Majesty takes great interest in its completion, and is desirous
to occupy it as soon as possible ; but it is said that the King
is not equally anxious about the change of residence.

The Dumfries Courier states that the late Thomas
Telferd, Esq., the celebrated engineer, has left a legacy of
5,0001. each to his friends Campbell and Dr. Southey.

About 501. were received in pence from the fre-
renters of the London and Greenwich Railway Mall on Sun-
ay last. The number of persons amounted to nearly 10,000.

We have heard that the rule which prevents an At-
torney or Solicitor. General returning to his circuit when de-
prived of his office is proposed to be rescinded in the case of
Sir Frederick Pollock and Sir William Follett, who have
held office only during one term.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--- We understand
that a meeting of the committee of liberal electors is to be held
this day for the purpose of taking measures to secure the re-
election of Sir John Campbell, on his appointment as Attor-
ney-General, without requesting his personal attendance upon
any canvass. We rejoice at this on several accounts. During
the last year Sir John Campbell has been in this city on three
different occasions for weeks at a time ; and on all of them
he had an opportunity of explaining his sentiments fully to his
constituents. Indeed, these may be summed up in a word,
as coincident with the views of Lord Melbourne and Lord
John Russell. This being notorious, it will be a proud de-
monstration of the firmness and public virtue of the
constituency of Edinburgh, if they can proclaim to the
empire that they have elected a candidate of tried inde-
pendence, talents, and worth, in his absence, in opposition
to a scion of nobility besieging the electors by a personal
canvass, backed by all the aristocratic influence, solicitation,
and intimidation resorted to on former occasions. Besides, it
is of such obvious importance that Sir John Campbell should
not be withdrawn from London at this season, looking to the
numerous important measures which must be in preparation
under his superintendence, that we cannot conceive any elec-
tor sincerely attached to the cause of the people who will not
think Sir John's time infinitely better employed during the
ensuing fortnight in assisting to mature the public measures
to be proposed in his own department, than in repeating senti-
ments which were fully explained, and deemed perfectly satis-
factory by the constituency of Edinburgh in January last. We
feel assured, therefore, that Sir John will not lose one vote on
this occasion by leaving his election, in his absence, to the free
and disinterested exertions of the independent electors of
Edinburgh.—Scotsman of Saturday.
Much amusement was caused in St. James's-street
on Monday last by an omnibus with four posthorses starting
from Crockford's for Greenwich-fair. Among the passengers
were Lord Castlereagh, Lord Elphinstone, Hon. H. Fitzroy,
Mr. Charles Manners Sutton, Mr. Oriel, &c. &c. The re-
gular omnibus cad, in his usual dress, and with his usual ges-
ticulations, accompanied the vehicle, which set off amidst the
mirth and laughter of a large concourse of the elite of White's
and Crockford's.

BURLINGTON-HOUSE.—We regret to hear that
this truly old English establishment will be broken up.
THE NEW NOVEL, BY THE AUTHOR OF
" FRANKENSTEIN."—" After a long interval," observes the
Courier, " the talented author of Frakenstein' has once more
presented the public with a gift of which all persons of taste
and sensibility must feel the value. The style of Lodore' is
quiet, easy, and flowing, and the sentiments natural, betraying
great knowledge of the human heart. We are glad to see
Mrs. Shelley, whose great descriptive powers, and great com-
mand of language are unquestioned, dealing with familiar sub-
jects ; and we can promise her a more pleasing, as well as a
more during reputation from her present work than even from
the wild fictions she has before handled."

A ROYAL HORSE STEALER.—A gipsey, said to
be a nephew and successor to the late King Boswell, and who
was to have undergone the august ceremony of being crowned
this week, was on Monday last apprehended at his Royal en-
carap.f.cnt on Sherwood Forest, and committed to the county
gaol, Nottin-e'bara, on the charge of stealing a horse from
Newark. A panic seized the royal followers at the loss of
their chief—the camp was struck, and a ictr:nt, which for its
secrecy and quickness, might have been conducted by the ce-
lebrated Spanish chieftain Zumalacarregui, took place.—Der-
byshire Courier.
GRANT TO NONCONFORMING MINISTERS IN
IRELAND.—Of the 25,1001. voted by Parliament for this pur-
pose, there has been granted from that period (July, 1834) to
to April 4, 1835, 1,1461. 4s. ld. to Protestant Dissenting
Ministers ; 5,2341. 10s. Id. to Seceding Ministers ; and
12,4381. 3s. 7d. to Nonconforming Ministers.
-

KING'S COUNSEL.—The number of licences

granted during the last ten years to King's Serjeants and
Counsel in England, to enable them to plead against the
Crown, has been 339, which, at 91. 3s. 6d. each, makes
3,1101. 6s. 6d. In Ireland there have been granted 327 li-
censes, at 1/. 9s. each, amounting to 4741. 3s.

COMPENSATION AND SUPERANNUATION AL-
LowANcEs.—The amount of Compensation Allowances of
every description in the public service, granted in 1834, was
19,151/. 7s. 7d. ; those which ceased in that year amounted to
24,644/. I9s. 3d. ; and the total remaining payable on the 31st
of December, 1834. was 334,733/. Os. Bd. The Superannuation
Allowances granted in 1834 amounted to 28,0201. ss. 3d.
in
those which ceased that year, to 27,3251. 2s. Bd. ; and those
remaining payable on the 31st of December last, to 358,211/.
19s. I Id. ; making, with the compensation allowances remain-
ing payable at that date, a total of 692,9451. Os. 7d. From
this amount that of 7,266/. 4s. 7d. is datucted under the Acts
4 and 5 Will. IV., leaving, as the actual charge to the State
on the 31st of December, 1834, for both descriptions of al-
lowances the sum of 685,6761. 16s.
