GENERAL. ELECTION:—We have previonsly
lerved, that the expectation of a General Election
'l)efore the usual termination of Parliament is
Strongly ;prevalent in Ireland. Colonel LONG-
FIELD, one.of the Members for Cork, has
tie example of other Candidates, and announ-
ced his intention 'to 'offer himself again for that
City.
Lord BERN AWD has declined standing for the
`Comity of Cork, at the emotink Election. No
tontest is now likely to take place in that County,
ant{ the Hon. Mr. HAVit and L-rd KlNGs-
aoaoucii, will, most probably, represent it in the
ttext Parliament.

It affords us great satisfaction to itate,-upon au-
thority, that the manufacture of tioinhazi7s iu
this city is so considerably increased, that bands
Cannot be found to execute the orders. The Court
Of Guardians are applied to at every sitting for as-
sistance by persons who are Teat ring the art. A I
Part of this enlarged demand is for the Continent,
Ilia there appears to be a prevailing fashion fur

On Tuesday last, an inquisition was taken by

flri, who destroyed himself about four o'clock in
'he morning of the same day, (when in bed. along
\vitt) another prisoner, and in company with three
Persons), by cutting his throat with an old razor,
,Ivhich-he had unfortunately purloined front a fel-
iqw prisoner. Upon a full and minute investiga7
lion, it was proved to the said Coroner and Jury,
that at the time of his having committed the fatal
'4'eed be was not of sound mind and understand-
but lunatic and distracted : for it appeared,
that previous to his being committed to the castle,
the 4th of July last, he attempted, whilst under
cnifinemeut at Huddersfield, to hang himself ;
1/4tid that about two months ago, he made a second
‘ttempt to do the same in the castle, when in bed
With another prisoner, but was prevented.—(York

he attempted to sell hint in Baltimore suspected
,the validity of his title, and therefore refused to
bliy„ Perry stated that the boy was raised in
