more runphaloally the evanescent chen.'crer of public
favour troin the fate of Mr. Maurice O'Connell :et
this ele:,tion. This gorilla man, in every way worthy
of being r‘. turned for any nerd in the city, and
whce..e father, it may b :aid, at one time held
the Piirlianientary rain e3entarion cif Duhiin in
his pocket, stands now a defeated candidate for
one ot aloe ward 4 which he hail publicly, by his address,
canvassed titer sat-IL...ages of the electors. Mr.
Hey-
'Adds has had rather a narrow esccpo. It was said that
he was:sure of being retuf ned for three or four w,ris, but
only in one does his name appear at all, and there he is
only !curried by a majority of t.co ov r t e lowest of
the four successful eat didatus; thatis, each ward returning
four, he is third uton the pull by two. Another striking
instance of fLeting popularity is the rejection of the
aged alderman, and very worthy man, Mr. M‘Loughlin,
the most devoted friend to the last of the late Mr. O'Con-
nell. This gentleman had only twenty vote in the
ward for which Mr. Reynolds has been returned, the
lowest successful candidate having polled 195.
The weather has been egain very tempestuous in the
last two dap, but still the temperature has all through
the month continued of an unusual and almost unprece-
dented mikness.

la the Court cf Queen's Bench yesterday,
counsel stated that, in the case of Colonel Van-
dcleur against Captain Kennedy which, on the sug-
gestion of the Cour, stood over tor an amicable ar-
rangement, no such arrangement had Bien come
to, and counsel were prepared to go on with the case, but
the Court said that there was no,titne now to hear it,
and the case must stand over till next term.

Mr. Pooley, late paymaster of c,nstabulary, who was
tried and acquitted a few days ago on a charge of em-
bezzlement, but bas since been detained in custody under
a Crown extent for 8001., was yesterday 'iterated on
Monday next is the day appointed for the new muni-
cipal representatives to assemble and elect a Lord
Mayor for the ensuing year 1851, and Mr. John Rey-
nolds has already announced himself as a candidate for
the office, despite the hundred and one actions peeding
against him, and confidently refers, as his claim to the
elevation, to his conduct in his past mayoralty.

AncuinfAcorc AL VISITATION.—O:I Tuesday morn-
ing last the Rev. Dr. Staunton delivered an ail ress to the
churchwardens of the different diuretics in this town, at St.
Peter's Church, in which, among other important topic-, the
Rev. Speaker gave decided instructions that no fre'sh vaults
were to b.: construct,d within the walls of the churches, and
DO old ones re-opened without express permission from the
Archidieconal officer. This discontinuance of intramural
interments is a concession to the sanitary spirit of the day of
no slight nature.—Nottingham
THE BRAZILIAN SLAVE TRADE•— (Extract from
the Journal do Commercio, Oct. B.)—The Brazilian war
steamer Urania entered yesterday from a cruise, bringing on
board 208 African slaves and the crew of the brig Rolha, all
captured at Macahe. On the same day the celebrated slave-
merchant Joaquim Pinto da Fonseca had been arrested and
placed in close confinement, it being discovered that he was
the owner of the brig Rolha, captured by the Brazilian war
steamer Urania. There had been another capture by a Bra-
zilian steamer of war, off St. Catherine's, of a brig, with 120
slaves on board.

LORD BEAUMONT.—It is very generally rumoured
that this Noble Lord is to be speedily appointed Governor
of Malta. 'Perhaps.this may account in some measure tor
the tone and spirit of his letter to Lord Zetland, in which a
Papist figures as adopting the;extraordinary course of approv-
ing and encouraging a No-Popery cry.- Chronicie.
Head-Constable Crowley and Constable Geale left
for Dublin to-day, in consequence of a letter received from a
gentleman in Dublin claiming the large sum of money found
last-week on two members of the swell mob. The applicant
'stated that his pocket was cut off in a railway carriage, and
the money taken, amongst which were some five dollar pieces
corresponding with those found in the possession of the pri-
soners, and a 201. note which corresponded with a note found
with, the same persons.— Cork Examiner. •
He who can smile at the misfortune -of being
robbed wins something from the thief.—Eliza Cook's Journal
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The Electric
.Telegraph
ComPany are progressing rapidly with their work towards
Brighton. A great portion of the wire is up, and coils of
wire are brought down to within a short distance of Brigh-
ton ready for fixing. Workmen have recently been em-
ployed in preparing the boards for the wires in Clayton
tunnel. It is the intention of the company, with the sanction
of the Town Commissioners, to carry the telegraph into the
town. Would not the Townhall be an excellent place for the
terminal dial?

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVARHAMPTON
RAILWAY.— During the last fortnight the extraordinary rise
in the shares of this company has been exceedingly rapid,
and the influencing causes has been concealed from the pub-
lic. Indeed, the general opinion appears to be that, if the
rise had any foundation, the arrangements, whatever they
might be, which were likely to benefit the undertaking, have
been carefully kept back for same purpose or other. It is
now stated on very good authority that the parties who were
referred to in the paragraph, which originally appeared in
the Worcester Herold, as having undertaken to carry out
the line in its integrity, are no other than Mr. Peto and Mr.
Treadwell.

:NEW BRTJNSWICK.—A great fire broke out in
Fredericton, New Brunswick, on November 11. Upwards of
one-half of the city was burnt, including a large portion of
the best buildings and places of business, and the spacious
Wesleyan church and parsonage. The fire broke out in a
barn near this church: The Catholic chapel was on fire, but
saved. The insurances were considerable.
COUNTY COURTS.--A further return relating to
the business of the County Courts has been published. The
inforMation it furnishes bears on the employment of deputy
judges and the fees of clerks and high bailiffs. During the
year 1849 the total of the number of the days on which each
iudge sat in person i 57,008, and that of the number of days
when the sitting was by deputy 557, the remuneration for
the services of .such deputies amounting to 969/. 13s. 2d.
The gross amount of fees received by the clerks during the
same 'wind was 70,3701., and their disbursements 34,2571.
The Ices of the high bailiffs amounted to 52,2711., and the
amount disbursed for the remuneration of assistants, &c.,
29,850.
