ELECTION CORRUPTION.

t
to have just returned from Ilull, where I had occasion
titc °DII business last week. Whilst there I heard from par-
pi,e e
"ad °l.' every political denomination, that four attornies of that
the encouraged poor men to personate absent voters at
(4,,,,recent election, and when needful had actually induced
tie— 10 coinmit the dreadful crime of perjury. I have the
.ues
them... the attornies, but it would not be fair to mention
that MY desire is to give publicity to a very current report,
154rti "ernmont may cause an enquiry to be made, that the
ouniZeacckised may clear themselves if innocent, and be
ir i
eo dif guilty. An attorney who would bribe a poor man
sakeranl:t Perjury at an election, would not hesitate to do the
Wtr,thng, if he wanted his services in a Court of Justice.
duce°na jury I could not avoid suspecting evidence pro-
eleet. "Y an attorney known to have encouragedt perjury at an
to because I should be certain lie considered there was
anyral obligation in an oath, and would not scruple to go

to win his cause.

nENGLISH OPERA-Ho Us E.—A drama in two acts,
ich report has attributed to Mr. Raymond, founded upon
, "le adventures of De Latude, who escaped from the Bastile
tag produced here yesterday evening. It is called the " Old
? '
Tree" title not by any means appropriate as the old
in k tree does not appear until the last scene, and then only
th tt secondary character • yet the title signifies but little if
drama materials be good, and arc those of last night. The
abounds with well-arranged incidents, occasionally a
47u Ile too diffusely expressed ; hut this is a fault that, with the
of the managerial pruning knife can easily be remedied.
t The division of Lancers under the command of
in°l.„(Mel Kinloeh, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday morning,
tiple -London Merchant steamer. The men equal any ever
...etisted, and owing to the admirable system pursued by Colo-
ttl,Kinloch and Captain Baker, who is an officer of experience,

vszdel. SOO riflemen on board the Swiftsure, commanded by
list nerd brave officer, Baron de Rottenburg. Captain Plunkett
