DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE

(THIS DAY.)

This witness was under cross-examination by Mr. WRANGHAM, with
a view to show that many of the witnesses might be classified under
one head, and that a decision respecting one voter would be applicable
to a number.

E FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
At length the long and tedious debate in the House of Commons has
terminated, in the utter discomfiture of Ministers. Still, Sir Robert
Peel is determined to maintain his post, until it is carried by assault,
and then, that he will advise his Majesty to dissolve Parliament, is the
prevailing opinion in the City. There was a great bustle at an early
hour this morning at the various Coffee-houses in the city, politicians,
speculators, and stockjobbers posting to town, all anxiDus to ascertain
the division in the Commons last night (or this morning) ; and the
moment they ascertained the important event, they immediately pro-
ceeded to the Stock Exchange, but, contrary to the general expectation,
the defeat of Ministers had little or no effect on the funds.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 for the Account, opened at
91; ; at present they are 91 % g for the Account, with little doing.
Exdisequer Bills 40, 41 ; India Bonds 20, 21 ; Bank Stock 218 , 19.

THREE O'CLOCK

In his reply, last night, Lord John Russell said that
had Lord Melbourne's Administration remained in office, he
had no doubt that long before the present time they would have
had a Bill before Parliament to accomplish the objects which
his motion had in view.
Great dissatisfaction is expressed by the Dissenters
of Brighton at the absence of Captain Pechell from the
House on the evening of Thursday last, when Mr. Tooke
brought forward his motion for an Address to the King pray,
ing for the grant of a Charter to the London University.
MURDERER APPREHENDED.—A person of the
name of Archibald M'Grigor was apprehended at Glasgow on
Saturday, by David Dow and H. M'Kay, two of the criminal
officers, on a charge of murder. The crime was committed
on Friday week in Mr. Hay's stables, West Regent-lane. The
ostler there and the accused had quarrelled about some trifling
matter, and the former was stabbed in the left eye by a pitch-
fork. When the officers apprehended M'Grigor, they found
him concealed in a hole behind a bed in his mother's house, in
Mitchell-street. He is dumb, and is thought to be not alto-
gether sane.

A young Englishwoman, named Mary Flin, is
about to be tried before the Court of Assizes for -Brabant for
infanticide, it being ascertained that she was the mother of an

In Provence, the spring is 1'•:1 y
any of the trees are yet in leaf, and the vines remain perfectly
stagnant. The crops arc very promising in general, and that
of the olives in particular, so that oil, which is at present
dear, will, in all probability, be next year abundant, and rea-
sonable in price.
A WHIP.—A Greenwich coach was nearly upset
on Sunday afternoon by coming,into contact with the Deptford
gate. Coachee's pace was better than his judgment. The
passengers were mere frightened than pleased. Fortunately,
however, no one was hurt.

GREAT TOM.—The arrival of this distinguished
stranger is expected to take place next week. We earnestly
hope that the inhabitants of all grades and distinctions will
unite to welcome the arrival of our old friend, by meeting him
at the Bar-gate and conducting with all due honour and so-
lemnity to the important station he is destined to fill in our
venerable Cathedral. The day on which Great Tom is ex-
pected will, we hope, be announced to the inhabitants in
time for arranging with proper effect a procession or meeting
suitable to the dignity of our long-lost friend and monitor....

BOND-STEET SIEGE.—The inhabitants of the
north end of Bond-street, as well as the numerous passengers
through that fashionable thoroughfare, have for the last three
weeks had their attention attracted to successive violent at-
tempts to obtain possession of a house and shop in that prox-
imity, and as warm a defence of their castle by those in pos-
session of it. On one occasion the assailants attacked the
doors with sledge hammers, while the besieged defended them-

eby throwing shop weights and pouring aquafortis upon

besiegers. A few mornings since not less than 20 men
a
said to have assembled for the purpose of renewing the
attack, but were prevented by the appearance of the police.
The siege has since been converted into a blockade, successive
guards marching day and night in front of the house, the doors

of which exhibit striking marks of the resistance they have
opposed to the assailants.

The Committee met at twelve o'clock to day.
Mr. O'CONNELL having concluded his statement in support of the ap-
plication he made yesterday, for a Commission to scrutinize the votes in
Dublin, in order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of bringing
witnesses so great a distance, the Committee adjourned.
Mr. J. J. Murt.pliv (Irish Agent for the Sitting Members) was ex.
amined as to the probable number of witnesses that were necessary to
support their case, and the expence that must be incurred in maintain-
ing them while attending the Committee. He stated that the attendance
of SCO witnesses at least would be requisite for the sitting. He added
that it would require 232 witnesses to prove the counter case, and sub-
stantiate their objections to the petitioner's case. There were other
witnesses indispensably necessary to prove the acts of b•ibcry charged—
the precise number of which he was unable to give. On the whole, the
attention of 700 or 900 witnesses were absolutely necessary, all of whom
resided in Dublin.
