Sir Edmund Hall Alderson, Knight, one of the Barons
of the Court of Exchequer, and several other names,
were then expunged, amongst whom were the names of
Lord Abinger, Lord A. Harvey, M.P., Sir F. Pollock,
Sir F. Thesiger, M.P., Baron Parke, Mr. Horace
Miss, &c.

Mr. Coppock then objected on the same grounds to
those who claimed from property in the Middle Temple,
but it appearing that the Middle Temple adjoins the
parish of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, which is less popu-
lous than St. Clement Danes, the other adjoining parish,
the objection was overruled.

The result of the day was highly satisfactory to the
Liberal cause. The numbers stand thus :

LIBERALS.-St. Dunstan's-in-the-11rest—Took objec-
tions, 87 ; sustained, 56 ; failed, 31. Allhallows, Bark-
ing—Took objections, 37 ; sustained, 37. In the other
parishes—Took objections, 137 ; sustained, 90 ; failed,
47.—Total objections, 261 ; sustained, 183 ; failed, 78.
CONSERVATIVES.-St. Dunstan's-in-the-West and All-
hallows, Barking—No objections. In the other parishes
—Took objections, 30 ; sustained, 21 ; failed, 9.

covered with vermin. The inspector declared that he
never witnessed so shocking a spectacle. When the
child was questioned, he said his mother had been dead
for some time, and that his father, who had been co-
habiting with a female, had of late entirely neglected
him. The neighbours sometimes brought him in some
food, but at length they became weary of supplying
him. He had not tasted a morsel of food on that nor
the previous day. On Tuesday he had three- halfpenny-
worth of bread, and that was all that he had eaten
during the week. The inspector added that there
was not a single thing in the room except thehandful
of filthy rags upon which the boy lay.
Mr. Aldberry, the overseer, confirmed the inspec-
tor's statement in every respect. He had the boy
immediately removed to the Clerkenwell workhouse,
and placed under medical treatment. He had never
seen a human being in so deplorable a condition.
Mr. COMBE asked what the parish authorities
wished to do with the prisoner ? Mr. Aldberry said
they had been of opinion that it was a case in which
they should indict the prisoner at the Old Bailey.
it was the very worst case that ever came under their
notice ; however, they would be content with a sum-
mary punishment.
Mr. COMBE sentenced the prisoner to a month's
imprisonment in the House of Correction.
He was committed accordingly.

IRELAND.
DEATH OP LADY HEYTESBURY.
DUBLIN, Ocz. 6.—About six o'clock this evening
the bell of St. Audeon's church intimated to the citi-
zens the melancholy fact, which had been for some
days apprehended, of the death of Lady Heytesbury.
A very general and painful degree of interest was
manifested amongst all classes, when it became known
that her illness had assumed a dangerous charactvr.
This evening, at twenty minutes before four o'clock,
her Excellency breathed her last at the Vice-regal
Lodge, in the Phcenix Park, in the presence of his
Excellency Lord Heytesbury, his brother the Hon.
E. H. A'Court, M.P. for Tamworth ; her Excellency's
son, the Hon. W. A'Court Holmes, M.P. for the Isle
of Wight ; the Hon. Miss A'Court, daughter, and
Mrs. Pennett, sister to the late Baroness.
Her Excellency had arrived but a short time in
Ireland when she was attacked by the fatal
illness, gastric fever, under the effects of which she
so long and painfully lingered.
She was assiduously attended during her illness by
Sir Henry H. Marsh, Bart., Dr. J. Graves, the phy-
sician in ordinary to the household, and Dr. George
Hatchell.

The gloom that this deeply lamented event will
cast upon the city, and indeed the country at large,
can scarcely be appreciated. It was arranged that
the Court would have been upheld upon the most
suitable scale of splendour had her Excellency been
spared to carry out their intentions.

RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF LORD
HEYTESBURY.
DUBLIN, OCT. 7.—lt is very generally stated that Lord
Heytesbury, in consequence of the domestic affliction
under which he is now suffering, has determined to re-
sign the high and important office to which he has been
so recently appointed. It is understood that his Excel-
lency, on the outset, had been very reluctant to under-
take the duties of Viceroy in this country, and that it
was only on the earnest solicitation of Sir Robert Peel
that he accepted the office.
If Lord Heytesbury should resign, the selection of his
successor, under present circumstances, would be a work
of no ordinary difficulty. His recent reply to the Re •
monstrant Synod of Ulster, and, indeed, other evidences
of the tendency of his opinions, prove that he was dis-
posed earnestly to attempt a change of policy in Ireland.
We noticed last week a Tory rumour—an utterly ab-
surd speculation—that Lord Ellenborough is to be sent
to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant. It is curious that several
military officers in Dublin are to-day repeating the re-
port, which they appear to believe.
