ST. MARTIN'S IN THE FIELDS.

(THIS DAY.)

The polling for the election of parish officers recommenced
this morning, and as the votes came in very slowly, about 12
o'clock one of the parishioners proposed that the polling should
then close; This was objected to, and a resolution was then
proposed by Mr. POUNCEY, seconded by Mr. LEONARD, and
carried, " that the poll should finally close at 6 o'clock this
evening." Mr. COBBETT announced his intention of moving
a resolution for the appointment of scrutineers, as soon as the
poll had finally closed.

It is reported that Edward Lytton Bulwer, Esq., is
shortly to be created a baronet.

Lord Melbourne has appointed J. Young, Esq., to
be his Lordship's Private Secretary.

Lord John Russell has appointed Mr. Charles Gore
to be his Lordship's Private Secretary.

Mr. Stanley, the new Secretary of the Treasury,
hakappointed Mr. George Arbuthnot to, be his Private Se-
cretary.

Lord Arthur Lennox does not accompany Sir
Robert Barclay to the lonian Islands, as it was some time
since his Lordship's intention to have done. The period of
his Lordship's marriage with the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Lady C. Bury is, we believe, not yet finally
arranged.

It- is very generally understood that Sir Charles
Cockerell, Bart. will be included in the first creation of Peers
by the new Whig Administration, under the title of Bunn
Sesincote. Sir Charles's name has been found in the majo-
rity against Sir Robert Peel's Ministry in almost all the late
important divisions. Worcester Herald.

Thomas Campbell, Esq., " the bard of Hope," has
written to England, expressing his intention of returning in a
short time. It has been erroneously stated that Mr. Campbell
travelled alone to the Barbary States ; there was a sort of ex-
pedition of three French savans, who started from Paris on
scientific pursuits, and invited him to join them in France,
which he did;. thence the party proceeded to Constantinople,
and will visit most of the interesting southern places, where,
it is said, Mr. C. has found many novel themes for his poetical
talent.

When, on the death of the Empress Catherine,
Paul ascended the Russian throne, he went, accompanied only
by his two eldest sons, the Grand Dukes Alexander and Con-
stantine, to the castle in which state prisoners were confined,
released Koskiusco, and in the following words did homage to
his virtues restore to you your sword, General, asking
you topledge your word never more to use it against the Rus-
sians." Koskiusco is said to have declined the sword, saying
" I need none, having now no mother land;" but pledged
his word as the price of his liberty. The Czar then inquired
whither the released prisoners would go; to which Koskiusko
firmly replied, " To America, where I shall find brothers in
arms, andslorious recollections."
THE SPITAL SERMON.—Yesterday the boys of
Christ's Hospital walked from their school in procession, each
Master being at the head of the school over which he pre-
sides, the bo3 s in the mathematical school carrying their
various instruments, accompanied by the Masters and Stewards
to the Royal Exchange, from whence they proceeded to the
Mansion-House, where they
.were joined by the Lord Mayor,
the Lady Mayoress, the Sheriffs, Aldermen, Recorder,
Chamberlain, Town Clerk, the Governors of Christ's, St.
Bartholomew's, St. Thomas's, Bridewell, and Bethlehem
Hospitals, and various City officers, with their Ladies. From
thence the cavalcade proceeded to Christ Church, where a
sermon was preached by the Bishop of Oxford on the Resur-
rection, and an anthem sung by the children. This day they
will have the honour of being presented individually to the
Lord Mayor, who will afterwards accompany them to Christ
Church, where a sermon will be preached by the Rev. S. M.
Anderson, Chaplain to the Queen.
THE REGENT'S PARK.—OPENING OF THE
EAST SIDE OF THE INTERIOR OF THE REGENT'S PARK TO THE
PUBLIC.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have
acceded to the request presented to them by the inhabitants of
St. Marylebone and St. Pancras, to open the east side of the
Regent's Park. They have caused numerous serpentine
gravel walks to be made, and several beautiful plantations, in
which, and by the side of the walks, are numerous garden seats
placed for the accommodation of the visitors. A broad and
extensive gravel walk, with rows of trees six deep, now grown
to a considerable size, extending from Park-square, through
the entire line of the Park, to the Zoological Gardens, has
been completed. On Easter Sanday the various promenades
were thrown open to the public, and during the afternoon the
interior of the Park presented a numerous assemblage of well-
dressed persons. Another superb promenade, a mile and a
half in length, extending from Gloucester-gate to the seat of
the Earl of Dundonald, is also thrown open, the palings
having been removed from the side of the footpath.
Singular as it may appear, the postage of a news-
paper from Greenwich to London is charged 3d„ while the
same paper sent from London to Greenwich is charged only id.
CRITERION OF HEALTH.--I asked a worthy
pater familias, the father of twenty-seven children (says Hoff-
man in his Winter in the Far West), if the country ( Virginia)
was healthy. " Healthy, Sir," be replied, " that it is—
healthy and poor ; ten people run away where one dies in it."
A correspondent asserts that the true reason why
London pickpockets are said to make the best shepherds in
New South Wales is that they have been such adapts at fleec-
ing in the mother country.
THE HOSIERY TRADE.—There is a great demand
at the present time for goods for the foreign market, chiefly
the United States. Wide frames that have been lying idle
for the last eighteen months are now everywhere fully employed
to complete the orders received from America. The home
trade is rather dull.—Leicester Chronicle.

LONDON NORTHERN RAILROAD.—This truly
national and splendid project is likely to be carried into opera-
tion without delay, as it has received the countenance and
strong support of gentlemen in whom Yorkshire reposes the
utmost confidence, and whose wealth and influence are suffi-
cient to give permanence and importance to any undertaking
in which they may embark. Mr. Walker, the engineer, in
pursuance of instructions, is now surveying the whole of the
line as laid down by Mr. Cundy, and will shortly make his
report as to its comparative advantages.
NOVEL PROJECT.—The farmers of Driffield and
its neighbourhood, observing that other trades appear to thrive
better than their own, are about to form a joist-stock com-
pany for the purpose of erecting extensive premises and esta-
blishing a mart for all the several branches of trade now car-
ried on in that rising town ; and their expectation appears to
be that they will thus concentrate the business of supplying an
extensive agricultural district with the various articles of
traffic. The shareholders are to be farmers exclusively, and
the support of that class generally is confidently calculated
upon. A piece of ground in a central situation in Driffield
has been already obtained, and by the Ist of May active ope-
rations will commence.—Hull Observer.

" The present " lions" in society are two Turkish
gentlemen, who have come over here, not attached t o diplo-
matic affairs, but as mere travellers, to see and judge for them-
selves respecting European manners and customs. One is a
Colonel in the Turkish army, a son of the Grand Vizier, and
wears a decoration equivalent to our Grand Cross of the Bath ;
he is about thirty years of age. The other is considerably
younger, but equals in unperturbed gravity, his senior com-
panion. They mix a great deal in society, but appear as if
they rather endured than enjoyed it ; although among these
passive-mannered and taciturn people it would be difficult to
ascertain what would afford them either interest or amuse-
ment.

RESUMPTION OF TRADE.—London was rarely
known to be so full of buyers of manufactured goods as it is at
this moment. No sooner was the fate of the Tory Govern-
ment known, and the prospect of a settled Administration re-
cognised, than country dealers flocked to town to make their
purchases. At the Gerard's Hall Hotel, which being situated
just in the centre of the commission houses is the chief resort
of the country buyers, the numbers who have applied for beds
have been beyond all precedent—upwards of 70 already lodge
out of the Hotel. Had such an influx occurred after to-day,
it might be accounted for by " the turn of the month," which
is a custom of the trade allowing goods bought after the 20th
to be considered as bought in the ensuing month, and conse-
quently enlarging the credit ; but the great influx took place
at the beginning of last week, clearly proving that the trade,
as well as the funds of the country, have received a decided im-
petus from the overthrow of the Tory Qovernment.
