SOUTH W ARK ELECTION.

(From the Birmingham Pilot of this day. )
[We know not upon what ground the Pilot makes the fol-
lowing announcement, but as the Pilot is a recognised organ
of the Complete Suffrage and Anti-State Church party, we
consider it as made not without authority.—En. Sun.
" WITHDRAWAL OF THE LIBERAL CANDIDATES IN FA-
VOUR OF MR. D. W. HARVEY.--W 0 are gratified to learn
that Sir Wm. Molesworth and Mr. Edward Miall are both to
withdraw from the contest for the representation of the borough
of Southwark, on the assumption that Mr. D. W. Harvey, who
has consented to stand, unites in himself the great principles of
civil and religious freedom, around which the real Liberal and
independent feeling of the borough will rally. Mr. Harvey,
in thus coming forward, gives a first place to the question of
the Suffrage ; and thus realises the anticipations we indulged
in last week, when we said, If the electors of the borough of
Southwark are true to themselves, and have the interests of
the constituency sincerely at heart, they will make the question
of the Suffrage the single ground on which the contest for the
representation will succeed. On this ground only can a tri
umphant victory be gained—or a defeat profitably sustained

ATRIMONY PROMOTED IN A CORONER'S COURT.—
Yesterday, at the inquest held before William Carter, Esq.,
at the Horse and Groom Tavern, Westminster-bridge•road,
the following unusual and singular case came before the
jury. The inquiry was respecting the death of a child who
had died very suddenly, and when the mother of the de-
ceased was asked if she was married she said she was, but
when cautioned by the Coroner she admitted that such was
not the fact, but that she had been living with a man named
John Cantrill, by whom she had had three children. They
had been living together as man and wife for four years, and
were very fond of each other, but through adverse circum-
stances and sickness they had not been able to spare the
money to get married. The father of the child, who ap-
peared to be a hard-working-fellow, said, in answer to the
coroner, that he had been keeping his father for a long time,
who had been on a bed of sickness for several months in conse-
quence of a severe accident, and when his father died he had
to pay for his funeral expenses. He added that he intended
to get married as soon as he could get the money. The fore-
man (Mr. Lincoln) said it was truly distressing for them to live
in such a state, and suggested the necessity of raising a sub-
scription for the purpose of getting them married. The rest
of the jury immediately agreed, and each subscribed towards
the expenses, and the Coroner gave orders to Mr. Anderson,
the summoning-officer, to see the money properly expended for
their wedding at the church of St, John's, Waterloo-road,
which will take place on Sunday next. The jury made ar-
rangements for a wedding dinner, which will be paid for out of
the money collected in the inquest-room. The parties left the
Court truly thankful for the kind interference of the Coroner
and jury.
THE ALLEGED MURDER AT ROTHERHITHE.—
Yesterday, the inquest respecting the death of Ellen Tyrrell
was resumed before William Carter, Esq. at the New
Cross Inn, Deptford, when the following additional evidence
was adduced :—William Birchen, pipe-maker, 14, Elephant-
lane, Rotherhite, deposed that Jerry Styles and himself
occupy the premises between them. There is a back yard
and privy inclosed by a high fence. Except a person scaled
the fence they must pass through the house of Jerry Styles,
or that of witness. Witness was at home on the night in
question (Wednesday, the 13th). There was no noise in the
house that night ; he must have heard any person getting
over the fence. Did not hear a footstep in the house or
yard after nightfall that night. John White, the man sus-
pected of the murder, stated on being cautioned by the
Coroner, that he bad nothing to say but that he had been
drinking with the deceased; they had drank between them,
seven in number, three pints of gin after crossing the river;
they (four persons) drank at the Royal Oak half a pint of gin,
and then he left the deceased at the Royal Oak door, and she
went away. He then went to Styles, in Elephant-lane, and
heard Styles and his lodgers scolding at a terrible rate; he
changed his mind and did not go in, but went into the back
yard to the watercloset, where he remained some time. Hav-
ing been drinking that day and working hard the day before,
heaving 60 tons of ballast, he fell asleep; on awaking be rose up
and went out; saw nobody; turned into the next court, called
Clarke's Orchard, and entered Mrs. Griffiths's house. As soon
as she saw him she fell a crying. He stayed there two hours
and a half. He sent out for sixpennyworth of gin ; sent
the girl out again for another sixpennyworth—her mother
refused to let her. He then went himself to the Europa
and the Royal Oak, but both those houses were closed for
the night. He rang, and they let him in at the Europa,
and served him with the gin, and he went away. Mrs.
Griffiths offered him a bed, but he declined, saying he had
to get up and go to work at six o'clock the next day. He
reached home between two and three o'clock next morning ;
that was all he had to say. The police said every exertion had
been made to find the man who had picked up a bonnet under
the arches of the Greenwich railway, supposed to belong to the
deceased, but without success. The jury retired, and after an
absence of nearly two hours, returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder against somo person or persons unknown."
SINGULAR FATAL COMBAT.—A combat unprece-
dented in the annals of duelling or boxing took place on Satur-
day last, in the village of Ashprington. Two pigs, one belong-
ing to the Rev. J. Ley, and the other to J. Camp, happened
to meet, and, either from some old grudge, or the impulse of the
moment, furiously attacked each other. They fought bravely
for upwards of an hour, when the clergyman's pig fell pros-
trate on the ground—quite dead !—Plymouth Journal.
THE STOPPAGE OP FLEET-STREET. Yesterday
merning a notice was posted at the Sewers office, Guildhall,
intimating that Fleet-street roadway will be closed for one
week longer, commencing on Monday, to complete the sewer
now in formation in that thoroughfare.
At a meeting of coal-masters at Stourbridge, last
Friday, it was agreed to give the men their wages without a
reduction, and the " strike" is, consequently, at an end. The
attempt at a reduction was not likely to be successful, and it
was not unanimously made, and cannot but be pronounced in-
judicious, and likely to do harm, in making the men more
independent and refractory.—Birmingham Advertiser.
A mustachioed vagabond, named Arthur Cowling,
was sentenced by Mr. Painter, the Hammersmith magistrate,
to two months' hard labour, for assaulting a little girl, and en-
deavouring to intimidate her into giving him money.
