THE LATE WILLIAM, COBBETT'S CHARACTE-
RISTICS, r Y HIMSELF.—" Though I never attempt to put forth
that sort of stuff which the intense' people on the other side
of St. George's Channel call eloquence,' I bring out strings
of very interesting facts use pretty powerful arguments ;
and I hammer them down s.O closely upon the mind, that they
seldom fail to produce a lasting impression."
THE EXPEDITION TO SPAIN.—The first batta-
lion of the volunteer force, under the command of Colonel
Chichester, will embark this morning from the barracks of
the East India Company, in the Isle of Dogs, on board the
Monarch steam-ship, for conveyance to the Spanish coast.
Colonel Chichester and the other officers of the battalion had
'an interview with General Alava yesterday morning, in Har-
4ey-street, to receive their final instructions. The list of offi-
cers, exclusive of Colonel Chichester, consists of Major Kirby,
second in command ; Brevet Major Tracey; Captains
Mackenzie, Shaw, Harley, Talbot, Cadogan, kenyon, and
Howard; Lieutenants Wallace, Noble, Montgomery, Lear-
tnan, Knight, Chetham, Wilkinson, and Owrie. Sir Robert
Steele, who holds the commission of colonel in the Spanish
service, and also that of captain in our marines, has offered his
services to her Catholic Majesty. Sir Robert is now in Paris.
An order will be promulgated from the Horse-Guards,
requiring those officers who propose going to the Peninsula to
obtain the same permission from head-quarters as when they
proceed to the continent.—Morning Paper.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—At four o'clock this morn-
ing a meeting took place at the North-bull, between James
Haire, Esq., Chairman of the Dublin Election Commission,
and J. J. Murphy, Esq., the agent for Messrs. O'Connell and
Ruthven. The former was attended by Robert Johnston, Esq.,
and the latter by Ebenezer Jacob, Esq. After the usual pre.
liminaries had been adjusted the parties exchanged shots with-
out effects And Mr. Johnston asked Mr. Jacob, " If he were
satisfied ?" to which, Mr. Jacob having replied in the negative,
Mr. Johnston then added, " Recollect, on your shoulders rests
the 'responsibility of a second shot ; but if you demand one, you
Shall have it." Mr. Jacob answered—" You have insulted us,
sand we must have a second shot." The parties were then
placed on the ground, and a second shot was interchanged,
also without effect, upon which Mr. Johnston removed Mr.
Haire from the ground, without any remark or further expla-
nation given.—Dublin Evening Mail of Friday.
We feel much concern in having to record a me-
lancholy and fatal occurrence in the family of the Rev. Sir F.
L. Blosse, at his country residence, Wilford, near Bray, on
Saturday last, when, the. nurse being in the act of playing
with the Rev. Baronet's youngest child (aged nearly two
years) on the window-stool of the drawing-room,' momentarily
turned round to speak to one of the other children in the
same room, and the poor baby lost its balance and was pre-
cißitated on its head to the -ground, a distance of about 12
feet. Surgical assistance was immediately called in, and al-
though every remedy that skill could suggest was had re-
course to, the little patient expired on Tuesday, after en.
'during much suffering for three days.—Dublin Freeman.
On the 13th instant, M. D—, a young man, 26
years of age, well known in the fashionable world in Paris, by
his wit, his large fortune, and the splendour of his equipages,
returned about nine o'clock from the Bois do Boulogne, hay-
ing galloped at full speed down the Champs Elysees ; the
instant he reached home he was imprudent enough to call for
a glass of lemonade, which he drank off at a single draught.
'lie had scarcely done so when he fell senseless to the ground,
and died in less than ten minutes.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—Mountford, the man
charged with sending a tin box containing a quantity of gun-
powder and other combustible materials to Mr. Lad, of the
Bristol road, Birmingham, with intent to cause his death, was
again brought before the Magistrates at the public office, on
Thursday and Monday last. On Thursday Mr. Ashley, fire-
works manufacturer, of Little Charles-street, was called, and
stated that the box sent to Mi. Lad was admirably constructed
for the purpose, and the Waterloo bang ups manufactured in a
way so sure of ignition that an explosion, on opening the box,
was almost inevitable. It was, indeed, difficult to account for
its failure. The box contained three pounds and a half of
gunpowder, of great strength, together with a quantity of hard
pease; and had the explosion taken place, Mr. Lad and all
persons in the house, in all probability, would have been blown
to pieces ; and no remnant of the box left by which it could
be ascertained how the horrible and frightful occurrence had
been occasioned. On Monday last, after having heard read
the various depositions of the witnesses, Mr. Williams com-
mitted the prisoner to take his trial at the ensuing Assizes for
t. he Tunty of Stafford, on the capital charge of attempting to
Glurotir 11,1 r. wider the fitli of Gee. IV., c. 31, sec. 11.
