LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning these. Sessions were held by adjournment
before the Recorder, and Aldermen Waithman, Fair-
brother, Kelly, and Marshall.
John Clark (real name Coltman), was indicted for
committing an indecent assault upon a lad of the n Mme of
John Murphy, on the 3d of November last. The pri •
soner (who had been before punished for a similar
offence), was found Guilty, and sentenced to two years'
imprisonment.

PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES.-The ap-
proat•hing elections render peculiarly opportune the ap •
pearance of " Mr. Burke's History of the Commoners,"
which must obviously prove a serviceable guide in
that investigation into the connexions, alliances, and inte-
rests of canvassers, which it behoves electors, for their on n
security, to make.

RESIGNATION OF MR. LUTTRELL.--
ANOTHER VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE.—WESTERN DIVI-
SION OF THE COUNTY OF SOMERSET.—.TAUNTON, WED-
NESDAY, 12 O'CLOCK.—Mr. LUTTRELL has resigned !
We reserve comment on this glorious triumph of Reform
to another opportunity.—Sherborne Journal.

RESIGNATION OF MR. PEMBERTON.--
TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE TORIES.—TAUNTON, TUES-
DAY EVENING.—As we had previously predicted, Mr.
PEMBERTON, the Tory candidate, retired from the contest
this evening. He briefly addressed the electors, stating
that he would not keep up a useless excitement. He ad-
mitted that he was beaten, and added that he thought us
very well represented. He concluded with a philippic
against the Reform Bill, from which he anticipated every
evil which flesh is heir to; and not the least shameful of
its consequences was, that it excluded himself, and such
like Anti-Reformers from the House of Commons.
Thus the people have achieved a signal victory; they
have put forth their strength, and their enemies
fly before them. The town of Taunton has indi-
cated its character for public spirit and love of Re-
form. The Blues have failed once again, and every
honest man will pray that this may be their last struggle.
Let them now unite with the thinking and intelligent of
their fellow-citizens to carry into effect the required
measures of Reform, and aid an enlightened Government
in its endeavours to remove abuses which are visible to
all but those who, from interested motives, will not err.
The writ for the election of new representatives arrived
here to-day, and will be proclaimed to-morrow. Mon-
day next is fixed for the borough election. The county
election is expected to be on Wednesday the 19th instant.
Mr. LUTTRELL's resignation also is hourly expected,
Mr. TYNTE having a majority of more than two thou-

sand. Thus the people will be everywhere triumphant
in Somersetshire, which will not, it is calculated, return
‘.l single Tory l—Shertorne Journal.

THE POLITICIAN.—The series of very re-
markable papers under the title which appear regularly in
the New Monthly Magazine, are understood to be from
the pen of the E•litor. The paper fir the present
month will be read with more than usual interest. The
principal suliects are—the English Elections—the Dutch
War—and the Embargoes. The time number contain,
also, a pleasant and very novel contruibtion, by the distinct
guished Author of " Vivian Grey."

A chest of Asiatic and Turkish manuscripts
received from Algiers, were sent on Monday to the Royal
Library.— Galignani's Messenger.

ELOPEMENT CASE.—The story of the elope-
ment in high life, which we noticed on Saturday, tool;
its rise, as we have since learned, from a case heard in the.
Court of Conscience on Wednesday I.st, the plaintiff in
which had bean servant to Miss , living under the
protection of an Hon. Gentleman, son of a distinguished
law Lord, famed for quartering the said and others his
sons upon the country. The defendant was the self said
young lady, mother of three children, under the care of the
plaintiff; and the female who eloped and got married to
the carpnter, was aunt, at the mother's side, to the chil-
dren. The sum claimed by the maid from her mistress
was seven shillings and sixpence, p irt wages, and other part
money, said to hare been paid by plaintiff at the Registry_
office, on hiring with the defendant. The presiding Ma.
gistrate ordered one shilling and threepence balance of
wages, but refused the fees of the Registry.office.—Dub.
lin Evening Packet.

THE LATE SIR WALTER SCOTT.- A
meeting of gentlemen desirous of aiding the project for
preserving Abbotsford and its effects to the family of Sir
WALTER SCOTT, was held in the Libraty of the Museum),
on Tuesday. W. SALMOND, Esq., was in the Chair; and
J. B. S. MORRITT, Esq., of Rokeby, who was the per,
sonal friend of Sr WALTER SCOTT, and who is a mrt'ober
of the London Committee, attended, and gave a variety of
interesting explanations on the subject of the decessed's
engagements, and the means of meeting them. The noble
conduct of Sir WALTER was warmly eulogized; and that
of his children, who have, as nobly, given up their inheri-
tance, to discharge their father's obligations, was spoken of
with no less praise. Resolutions were unanimously
passed ; and a subscription was immediately opened. We
have no doubt hut that it will be liberally supported ; and
we hope Abbotsford will be preserved in the family of
SCOTT to the latest generation as a monument of the ge-
nius, the integrity, and the many estimable qualities, of its
founder.-- York Chronicle.

A HEROES.—The other day we
re
NewspapersUa that " Lord Steeple--ch Ise and ono
or two
in M
thetwomAoT reE St. James-street heroes are at the French
head-quarters, in the capacity of 'amateurs,' at the opera-
tions before Antwerp Citadel," " Amateurs" indeed, not
,‘ actors," we will swear. Out on such pitiful Cu' iosity
We have often been sickened, ad nauseum, by certain fops
and lordlings speaking as follows :—When I was in Spain
—aw—at the time—aw—of the battle of—aw," &c. &e,
So spoke puppies who went " amateuring" in the presence
of disgusted veterans. There is nothing redeeming in the
degenerate ambition of these " amateurs"—the sooner the
worthies before Antwerp are severally and respectively
kicked on the seat of honour, away from the seat of war,
the better for themse:ves and the honour of their count, F.
Do, Lord GREY, stand up for your "order," and lay a tax
on the exportation offools.—Dablin Expros,
