with as firm a conviction as ever we felt, in the truth of a
proposition in Euclid, after demonstration, that if the Vice-
royalty of the Earl of Mulgrave be only prolonged for an-
other year, the state of Irish society, even among the highest
and hitherto the most repulsive ranks, will incur as great a
change as we have already happily witnessed among the
mass of the people.—Dublin Evening Post.
CARLOW ELECTION.—It is clear to us, and must
be so, we suppose, to every unprejudiced reader, that Mr.
Raphael, with every disposition imaginable, has totally
failed. By his own showing the money which he placed at
the disposal of Mr. O'COnnell has been accounted for every
farthing. Why, even the printing necessary for such a con-
test must come to four or five hundred pounds. Our ac-
count, for instance, which was immediately settled, was
nearly thirty pounds of this money.—Dublin Evening Post.
The municipal elections engross the attention of the
citizens of Kilmarnock, to the exclusion of almost every
other topic.—Ayr Observer.
GLASGOW MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—OUr Mu-
nipical elections took place on Tuesday, and the result was
in every instance what had been predicted. In every dis-
trict there was a close run either upon political or religious
grounds ; but it was in the third and fifth wards where the
contests were keenest and the issue most doubtful, as the
state of the poll proved at its close. In both districts,
however, it has, politically speaking, been a drawn battle—
the successful candidates for each being Whig and Tory.
Out of the whole eleven returns, it appears that the Tories
have only been successful in two.—Scots Times.
PAISLEY MUNICIPAL ELECTlON.—According
to the Chronicle, this election is the most complete triumph
for the Reformers of Paisley of any that has taken place
since the Burgh Reform Act came into operation. Out of
the whole of the gentlemen returned, Mr. Farquharson is
the only one who bolds Conservative principles. The whole
of the others are sound Radical Reformers.—Scots Times.
CHURCH RATES.—A few weeks back, several
Dissenters, by refusing to pay their church rates, had their
effects distrained ; but the churchwardens, after having ap-
plied to every respectable appraiser in the town to effect
this, in vain, were absolutely reduced to the necessity of
employing an obscure, dirty working agent for that pur-
pose. Having accomplished that, another difficulty arose,
who was to sell ? for the personage above alluded to had no
licence, and in this instance, not only were the auctioneers
applied to without success, but others at Dartford, and the
time allowed between the seizure and the sale actually ex-
pired, before any one was found to sell ; and the goods were
returned to the parties from whom they were seized. Very
strong excitement prevails in the parish, as it is expected
that several will be distrained upon during the week.—
Kent Herald.

THE PARLIAMENT.—GENERAL ELECTION.—
The Tories for some time have been predicting a dissolution
—not that they desire a dissolution which to them would
be ruin ; but because by insinuating that such is the inten-
tion of Government, to vex and if Possible injure the present
Liberal Members. Now we have reason to know that Go-
vernment do not intend to dissolve Parliament. We have
reason to know that there is no necessity for such a mea-
sure. We have reason to know that many Members hi-
therto lukewarm Ministerialists or moderate Tories have
sent in their intended adhesion to Lord Melbourne's Go-
vernment. Knowing these things, we can say to the Re-
formers, there is no occasion for a dissolution. The Mi-
nistry is safe, even with a Tory concocted Parliament.—
Lincoln Gazette.
A Correspondent informs us that Mr. Chambers,
the banker, who has been confined in the Fleet Prison for
nearly 11 years, was released on Monday last.
A CHALLENGING MAGISTRATE.—SureIy there
can be nothing more inconsistent and indecorous, than to
see those who are appointed to administer the laws, so far
forgetting themselves, and what is due to the dignity of
those laws they have to maintain, as to set them in open
defiance in behalf of some personal squabble, and publicly
to violate them at the miscalled shrine of honour.—York
Courant.
MAIL-COACH ACCIDENT.—We regret to state
that the Newcastle and Carlile mail coach, on its way to
Newcastle, was this day (Monday) upset about two miles
west of Hexham. The accident was caused by one of the
wheelers stumbling ; the coach was in consequence precipi-
tated over a bank by the roadside, and the driver, named
Aiken, was thrown from his seat, and so dreadfully man-
gled, that he died a short time afterwards, leaving a wife
and large family. The outside passengers and the guard
escaped almost miraculously, by jumping off at the mo-
ment ; two ladies and three children insid were uninjured.
The passengers were forwarded in a chaise to Newcastle.
The horses did not appear to have received any injury.—
Tyne Mercury.
In addition, we perceive, to a projected railway from
Bristol to Exeter, another is talked of from a point on the
Southampton line below Basing, to pass through Salisbury,
Dorchester, Bridport, and that line of country.
ENGLISH IRON RAILS IN FRANCE.—The
Temps says, that it has reason to believe, that during the
next Session the Minister of Commerce intends to bring in
a Bill, authorising the importation, free of duty, of one-half
of the rails necessary for forming the projected iron rail-
roads. This privilege in favour of foreign iron, the Temps
Considers, will be by no means injurious to the iron-masters
of France, as their works are insufficient for supplying the
present ordinary demand. '
PROGRESS OF RAILWAYS--IRELAND.—We are
glad to be able to state, that the spirit of enterprize is fast
spreading in this country, and it is hoped, ere long, that the
gentry, merchants, and other capitall.sts, will be engaged
heartily in promoting public works, which must tend to
improve the condition of the country. The perfect success
the Dublin and Kingstown railway has operated as a
stimulant to further speculation • a company is already
formed, and preparation making for an application to Par-
liament, to make a railway from Dublin to Drogheda ;
also, a line has been laid out between Belfast and Lisburn,
by a practical railway engineer, and it is intended to apply
to Parliament, in the next Session, for powers to make it ;
as soon as the survey and extracts are completed they will
be laid before the public.—Be fast News Letter.
TWO MORE FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE LON-
DON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLROAD.—Yesterday an in-
quest was held in the Board-room of the Nora). London
Hospital, Gower-street, New-road, before Mr. Stirling, on
a view of the body of Thomas Kimpton, spd 21, a miner,
employed on the London and Birmingham railroad, who
was killed under the following circumstances :—lt appeared
from the evidence that, on Monday afternoon, the deceased
and another man was employed. at the bottom of No. 3
shaft ; at the same time a man named Brown was at the
mouth of the shaft, engaged in securing three bags of ce-
ment to a slip, for the purpose of lowering to the bottom
of the shaft. In the descent, by some neglect of Brown,
the bolt of the skip came out, and it was capsized—the
three bags of cement falling, one of which, weighing one
hundred weight and a half, fell upon the deceased, which
broke his leg, thigh, and collar-bone. The other man for-
tunately escaped. The poor sufferer was conveyed to the
above hospital, but only survived a few hours. The Co-
roner, addressing the witnesses, impressed upon their
minds the utmost caution in their work, there necessarily
being much danger in the prosecution of so vast an under-
taking. Verdict, " Accidental death." Another inquest
was held at the same time, and before the same Coroner,
on view of the body of Thomas Robinson, aged 23. The
deceased, who was an excavator, was employed in one of
the shafts; when a long piece of timber, which was being
lowered down the shaft, fell, and striking the deceased on
the back, caused so severe injury to the spine as to occa-
sion his death.—Verdict, " A ccdental death."
RUSSIAN CIRCULATION.—ST. FETERSBURGH,
OCT. 24.—0 n the 20th of this month, a further suns of
five hundred thousand roubles, in Treasury notes of the
three first series, was burnt by order of the Council of the
Bank. The Commissioners for the redemption of the debt
have in their hands notes to the amount of one hundred
and twenty-eight thousand seven hundred and fifty roubles
which have not yet been verified. There remains, there-
fore, in circulation notes to the value of three hundred and
seventy-one thousand two hundred and fifty roubles, whieLi
will be gradually paid into the Treasury.
DREADFUL EXPLOSION.—We have tr., record a
disastrous occurrence at Tipton, from an e-.plosion of gas
in the Majors Colliery. The accident /I,appened on Mon-
day. How it originated we have ne!„ learned, nor the ex-
tent of the calamity, as several bodies yet remain in the
pit. Upwards of 20 were snore or less injured, of Whom
at least a third are dead. The fate of one poor fellow
was melancholy indeed. He had courageously ventured
down to aid his companions, and had succeeded in getting
three bodies out of the pit, but on descending a fourth time
it is supposed he was overcome by the noxious vapours,
and perished. He has left a wife and seven children. Most
of the sufferers have left wives and families.---Wo/cer-
hanipton Chronicle.
M ußDEß.—Considerable excitement has been caused
in the neighbourhood of Wenlock, by the murder of George
Corfield, a gamekeeper to M. G. Benson, Esq., of Lut-
wyche. An inquest was held on Saturday last, when a ver-
dict of—" Wilful murder" was returned against a young
man named John Thomas. The unfortunate deceased was
in a coppice near Presthope, on the night of Thursday last,
and was heard to cry " Murder !" A person went to his
assistance, to whom he exclaimed " The villain has shot
me !" and died immediately afterwards. Thomas had, it
appears, been going in that direction with a gun in 11:15
hand, and a peculiar mark on the heel of his shoe was
traced in various places near the coppice. On a post mor-
tern examination of the body, the shot extracted was found
to be of three different sizes ; and on searching the pri-
soner's house, two guns were found, both charged with shot
of the same desariptioh, Thomas is lodged in our gaol, to
take his trial at the peat ASSiZQS.—SOopia4 Journal.
