IPSWICH, THURSDAY, 9 A M.—The Tories,
driven to desperation, have determined to use their utmost en -
deavours to carry the approaching election. The steps they
have taken show this determination. Mr. Dundas, one of the
unseated Members, entered the borough yesterday, and intro-
duced, as one of the candidates, Mr. William Holmes, the
notorious Ex-Whipper-in of the Boroughmongering Parlia-
ment. The other candidate announced is a Major Broke. a
gentleman residing in the neighbourhood. Messrs. Morrison
and Wason also entered the town yesterday evening—they
were met two or three miles from the town by an immense
multitude, and received with the greatest enthusiasm.
The Emperor of Austria has recently abolished the
tax called the " Jews' meat-duty," and has expressed his in-
tention of investigating such other taxes as may press too
heavily upon the Jewish population, with a view of equalizing
the taxes of his Christian and Jewish subjects.
A letter from Cracow of the 27th ult., says that
General Dembinski, brother of the well-known Polish General,
has been poisoned. It appears however, that the fatal potion
was accidentally administered,

SUDDEN DEATII.—One of the postillions of the
Marquis of Downshire, while riding before his master in ,
the Brentford-road, suddenly drew up his horses, and in-
forming the Marquis that ho was very ill, almost instantly
expired.
CHICHESTER.--Some one has said " the better
part of valour is discretion." The Lenoxes seem to think that
discretion may go as the love-sick maid in the song says of pru-
dence " with its teaching and preaching to Jericho." They
are for appearing valorous. They will however take little, as
the lawyers say, by their attack on Mr. Cobbett in the house ;
for the Hampnet poor house concern is quite enough to blast
the bill under which its proceedings are had in the estimation
of all thinking men. It may be something to the Duke, but it
is nothing to the public, whether he has or has not induced the
Guardians to lay out 3,0001. on his house. The case is, that
the Guardians of the parishes united in the Hampnet union are
inclined to lay out 3,000/. in enlarging the present house, of
which they have but a thirty year's lease ; instead of laying out
about 5,000/. in the purchase of a freehold property which will
always belong to the parishes for the benefit and reception of
the paupers.—Brighton Guardian.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—The following dreadful
accident occurred about twelve o'clock yesterday to a labour-
ing man named Samuel Allan. It appears that the above un-
fortunate man was employed by the parish of St. Mary-le-
bone, in watering the roads, and was dragging one of the
watering trucks (in company with a man named Williams),
along Lisson-grove North, when they were met by a loaded
waggon, belonging to Messrs. Currie, the distillers, of Blooms-
bury. By some unfortunate circumstance which cannot be
correctly ascertained at the present moment, the unfortunate
man stumbled, at the very instant the waggon was passing,
and fell between the wheels, the off-side hind of which passed
directly over his head, and his brains were consequently
scattered about the road. So instantaneously did the accident
occur that had it been possible to have stopped the waggon in
the sixtieth part of a second, it could not have been avoided—
consequently not the least blame attaches to the driver. The
unfortunate deceased, who did not exist a moment after the
accident occurred, was taken up and conveyed to the Lisson-
grove Dispensary, where his body now lies, awaiting the
Coroner's Inquisition. We are sorry to add that he has left a
widow and two children (in the most indigent circumstances)
to lament his loss.
DESPERATE AFFRAY.--Yesterday afternoon, be-
tween three and four o'clock, a scene of the greatest uproar
and confusion took place in Oxford-street. It appears that
a man named Drewitt, residing in Ogle-street, and who is the
proprietor of a van, was proceeding in the vehicle, accompanied
by his man Bailey, with a quantity of household furniture
which he had just brought from the Edgeware-road, and was
about to deliver it at the house, No. 20, Woodstock-street,
when he came in contact with another carriage of a similar
construction, and in consequence thereof a disturbance ensued
between the two drivers, each of whom considered the other
in fault, and accordingly both vacated their seats in order to
settle the affair by a pugilistic encounter in the road ; at this
moment a constable of the D division, who was on duty on
the spot, sprang forward and insisted on their departing quietly,
which, however, they refused to do, and in less than a minute
upwards of 500 persons formed a ring, the greater part of
whom were fellows of a ruffianly description, belonging to
cabs, omnibuses, and hackney-coaches. The constable above
alluded to then drew his staff, but had no sooner done so than
he was attacked in all directions by the mob, who lashed him
over the head and body with whips, and pelted him with va-
rious missiles. A strong body of the force quickly came up,
many of the tradespeople in the vicinity of Woodstock-street
having by this time deemed it necessary, for security's sake,
to close their shutters, when a most terrific conflict ensued ,
the police, who all along exercised the most praiseworthy for-
bearance, now deemed it necessary to stand no longer parley-
ing with the ringleaders, but at once take them into custody ;
their determination, however, no sooner became apparent to
the blackguard fraternity assembled, than missiles of every de-
scription were hurled at their heads, and many of them (par-
ticularly a constable named James) received many severe cuts
and bruises ; in the midst of the battle Lord Petre chanced to
be walking up Oxford-street, and, learning what was the mat-
ter, forced his way through the crowd, accompanied by one or
two tradesmen (who till that time seemed afraid to interfere),
and seizing hold of Drewitt by the collar, dragged him away.
Bailey and Brooks were also, after a most determined resist-
ance, secured, and all three conveyed to the station-house,
where they were locked up. Three or four of the constables
sustained much injury, but his Lordship, we are happy to say,
escaped unhurt.
