THE ECLAIR STEAM-SLOOP.

- - -
It is with feelings of great regret that we announce the death of
Mr. Sidney Bernard, the assistant.surgeon, who volunteered his
services on board the Eclair steam-sloop at Madeira, and up to the
6th, with Mr. Charles Coffey, the assistant-surgeon of the Growler,
was in unceasing attendance on the unfortunate sufferers of this
_ . . .

SECOND EDITION.

ill-fated vessel. Mr. Bernard died on board the Eclair, at Stand.
gate Creek, on Thursday morning at half-past six, after three days
illness. It would appear that both that noble philanthropist and
Mr. Coffey kept up very well whilst the sick depended on them
alone, and they had the excitement of responsibility, and it
was only when other assistance was at hand that they
yielded to that fate to which broken rest, assiduous watchings,
and constant weariness had predisposed their human frames,
in spite of their indomitable spirit. The body of Mr. Bernard
was examined previously to interment, and presented the usual
light yellow appearances which are remarkable in cases of death
from the fever in the West Indies. Four medical officers have
died on board the Eclair. Surgeons, Mr. Maconochy, of the
Eclair, and Dr. M`Clure, late of the Actaron ; and assistant-sur-
geons, Mr. Hurtrcan, of the Eclair, and Mr. Bernard. The latter
was an assistant-surgeon of 1838, and belonged to the Caledonia,
120, at Devonport at the commencement of the year. Mr. Coffey,
we are gratified to hear, is doing well, and Lieut. Isaacson is pro.
gressing very favourably towards recovery. The pilot who was
taken on board at Portsmouth, Mr. Saunders, who had also been
, and the two seamen are
attacked, is not out of danger, but he has favourably passed the

on Wednesday from the
sloop on Thursday, on which day no additional cases were reported.
On Wednesday one of the quarantine men was reported to have
caught the fever. The quarantine restrictions are now somewhat
relaxed, and the surgeon, Dr. Stewart, is allowed to go from one
ship to the other without the quarantine boat; but it is ordered
that his boat shall show the yellow gag with a black ball in the
centre.
It is but justice to the medical profession generally to state that
many gentlemen, other than those belonging to the Royal Navy,
have volunteered their services; at the same time we must state
also that the most absurd propositions have been made with respect
to the steam- sloop and the unfortunate crew, to get rid of the fever,
and to cure both effectually.

TIM RIVER PLATE.
REJECTION OF THE
IV INTERVENTION.
LERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.
Rio advices to the 22d of August, received by the Amelie, ar:
rived in the Mersey, report from Beenos Ayres the rejection, by
General Rosas, of the ultimatum of the Allied Powers. The Ar-
gentine fleet had therefore been seized, and immediate steps adopted
by the British and French Ministers to drive from the Banda
Oriental the troops under Oribe. Brazil had declined to interfere.
We annex an official document, issued by the British Charge
d'Affaires at Monte Video:—
" MONTE VIDEO, Aua. 1, 1845.
" I have been informed by Rear. Admiral Inglefield, command-
ing her Britannic Majesty's naval force on the east coast of South
America, that, in consequence of the refusal of General Oribe to
comply with the intimation which has been made to him by the
British and French Admirals, requiring him to suspend hostilities,
a vigorous blockade will be established of all the ports of the
Oriental Republics which are or may be occupied by the troops in
the service of the Argentine Government ; and that the blockade
of the port of the Buceo has been this day established. Neutral
vessels now in the port of the Buceo will, however, be permitted
to leave that port until the 12th inst.

" A. TURNER."
The following was posted in the Exchange news-room :
" The English and French naval forces have taken possession
of the Argentine squadron of -Monte Video. They had also
landed 1,500 sailors and marines there, and blockaded the port of
Buceo, in consequence of Oribe refusing to retire from Monte
Vidco. By the barque Amelie, Captain /Nelson, from Rio
Janeiro, sailed August 213d."—Times.

WINDSOR ELECTION.—(Frorn a Correspondent.)—
I have it from authority, that Sir John De Beauvoir will be the
Government candidate; and also that his position as Chairman of
one or two important railway companies induces him to seek the
honour of a seat in the Commons' House, his industry and
perseverance as a committeeman being well known in the City,
and duly acknowledged.
WINDSOR ELECTION. The address of Ceonel
Reid, of the 2d Life Guards, now quartered at Windsor, who is
the second candidate in the field for the representation of the
borough, in consequence of Mr. Ramsbottorn's decease, was
issued on Thursday morning. It is openly stated that the colonel
comes forward under the auspices of the Government, and with
the support of what is termed " the Castle interest.''
Lord Francis Egerton intends to commence the
rebuilding of Bridgwater-house, which was some time since razed
to the ground, early in the ensuing year. The original designs for
the new mansion are by the Hon. Thomas Liddell, son of Lord
Ravensworth.

levels, &c., and were immediately warned off. Another attempt
was made in the afternoon, when the party were met by Mr.
Ward's land steward and six men, prepared to dispute the right.
hoping to induce that gentleman to allow him to take the levels,
surveyor again retired, and afterwards waited on Mr. Ward,
ST., as he had been stated not to be opposed to a railway through
his lands, and the first five miles must be through them ; but he
was again unsuccessful. Mr. W. declared it to be his opinion that
a railway was not required in the island, there could he no traffic,
and it was opposed by almost the entire of the landed proprietors
of the island. They had reckoned on air. W. not opposing the
project, but he now declared he would to the utmost of his power,
it being uncalled for. This week 45 men have arrived from Man

George Hudson, Esq., M.P., has purchased Newby

Madrid journals of the 3d inst. have been received, but
they contain no intelligence of importance. A letter from
Cadiz, dated the 28th of September, in the Castellano, says:—
" This evening ten brigands embarked in a boat, in order to
surprise an English ship which was at the bar. The crew
were fortunately on their guard. Not only were the brigands
repulsed, but the English likewise pursued them to a place
called Los Corrales, where the robbers landed, abandoning
their boat." The Barcelona Foniento of the 3d inst. pub-
lishes an order of the Minister of War to the Captain-
General of Catalonia, whereby all the corps of the army are
prohibited from wearing beards.
No business was clone on the Madrid Bourse.

The Paris Moniteur at last publishes the official dispatches
detailing the late disastrous events in Algeria. They add no-

thing, however, to the particulars already published. Every
exerri in in the meantime is made by the French Govern-
ment to dispatch with the utmost expedition the. additional
12,000 troops for Oran ; and so urgent is the crisis con-
sidered, that Marshal BUGEAUD had resolved, with the con-
currence of the Minister of War, to go direct to Algiers,

without obeying the telegraphic dispatch summoning him to
Paris. He was to quit Excedeuil on Tuesday for Marseilles,
and sail on the 10th for Algiers. Marshal Souur also, owing
to his infirmities, had not been able to comply with the
summons, and rtplied that the state of his health com-
pelled him to remain yet for some time in the south of
France. The Journal des Debats, after stating that

the Emperor of Morocco had done everything
in his power, though without effect, to fulfil the treaty of
Algiers, says :—" We have now only to deal with ADD-EL-
KADER. He is the enemy of Morocco as of France. To
come up with him, to destroy his power, to deprive him of
his last place of refuge—such is the end that we propose.
This is proved by the decision come to by the Goverment.
As to the treaty with Morocco, we shall see whether it bears
fruit. We are of opinion that it will singularly facilitate the
ta4: that remains for us to accomplish in Africa, and which
leaves us for the moment one only point—the destruction of
ADD-EL-KADER." The Epoque, another Ministerial paper,
writes in still stronger terms :—" Marshal BUGEAUD is to
enter Morocco if ABD EL-KADER be still there, to act and
fight there, and not quit that empire until he shall have ob-
tained complete satisfaction for the grievances France has
such just reason to complain off."
Louis PIIILIPI'E continues to take much exercise since his
return to the capital. " The review which took place on
Wednesday, though of considerable length," says one of the
papers, " did not seem to fatigue him in the least—and in-
deed we learn from good authority that his MAJESTY'S health
-was never better. A considerable crowd occupied every
available spot for witnessing the proceedings."
The following are miscellaneous extracts :
" Colonel Berthier, who was killed lately by the Arabs in Algeria,
was a great nephew of Marshal Berthier, Prince of Neufchatel and
Wagram under the Empire.

"An application was made on Wednesday to the Civil Tri

bunal of the Seine by Count Leon, the reputed natural son of
the Emperor Napoleon, to compel the Countess of L-, his

reputed mother, to grant him an alimentary pension of 6,000

. . _
francs a year. The counsel for the Countess demanded the pro.
duction of the documents on which the Count founds his demand,
♦iz., the registry of birth, &c., by which he can show that the
Countess is really his mother. The case was postponed for a week,
to give time for the production of documents.

" The Minister of the Marine is stated to have sent dispatch&

to the maritime prefects, urging them to expedite as much as pos-
sible the fitting out of the ships destined for the station on the
Western Coasts of Africa, and which are to rendezvous at Cadiz by
December. _ _

" The C egress of the German Customs Union, which has been
sitting at Carlsruhe since the commencement of August, is on the
point of separating without coming to any decision. Prussia has
maintained her liberal principles in commercial matters. Unani.
mity of votes is required for the decisions of the Congress.
"It appears by the journals of the south of France that some
alarm has been felt there of a scarcity of corn, but that it has been
removed by the arr►val of several cargoes at Marseilles from Italy,
and by the purchase of 450,000 hectolitres of corn at Odessa, for
different French ports in the Mediterranean.
" The Brussels journals announce another fall of 2E per 100
kilos. of potatoes in the markets of that city, but state that fears are
entertained that the cargoes of potatoes expected from Denmark
will not keep good during the voyage. At Elsineur two cargoes
which had been shipped for Belgium were thrown into the sea, in

consequence of their being entirely spoiled by heating."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LlMEHOUSE.—Yesterday
morning, a fire, resulting in damages amounting to 1,000,.., broke
out about seven o'clock, upon the premises in the occupation of
Mr. G. W. Morison, coal-merchant, 43, Fore street, Limehouse.
The occupier was in bed at the time, and it is supposed that while
the servapl girl was employed in lighting the kitchen fire a spark
fell upon some shavings, which communicating to other com-
bustib.e materials, soon set the whole in a blaze. The following is
the official report of the damage :—" Mr. G. Morrison, 43, Fore-
street, Limehouse, coal.merchant ; interior of the house gutted and
the contents destroyed. Contents insured in the Royal Exchange
Fire-office; building in the Phcenix. Mr. Blyth, engineer pattern,
and mould maker; mould lofts damaged, roof injured by fire and
water; the moulds are some of them broken. Insured in the
Phenix and several other offices. No. 42 (private house of Mr.
Blyth) damage to building and furniture,"

LITERATURE.
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. CLXVI.
The number for the present month is graced by elle of
those splendid articles which have given an unfailing
character to this celebrated Review. It is the simple
biography of a great man—obscure in regard to his
birth, persecuted during his whole life, the sport of for-
tune, the terror of priests and hypccrites and time- serv-
ing patriots ; alternately the idol and the bugbear of
statesmen; hated at one time by those whose interests he
served best and at another extolled to the skies, by blind
bigots who could not understand him; but amiist all the
vicissitudes of fate never swerving from his great pur-
pose—the reformation of his race, and the establish-
ment of the libert', independence, and honour of his
native land. It would be difficult to find among all the
illustrious men whom this island has produced
a more sincere and successful patriot than
Daniel De Foe, and he has teen for.unate at last, if pos-
thumous fame can serve any man, in having his life,
history, and works delineated by one of the first orators
ar.d most celebrated writers of the nineteenth century.
There can be no mistake about the authorship of this
splendid tale—we should rather say this faithful narra-
tive ; it bears all the characteristic features of the only
man alio could write such a biography, and who has
here added another laurel to those which he has justly
acquired in the more refined paths of literature. Almost
every work which De Foe wrote is faithfully and strik-
ingly laid before the reader; his appearance, his manner,
his dress, his independence of mind, his never-fading
patriotism, his struggles in adversity, whether in
prison or on the pillory, or in a hiding-place ;
his incessant • labours to benefit mankind ; his con-
ferences with William of Orange, and afterwards
with Harley, in the succeeding reign ; his battles with
the Dissenters, with the Catholics, and the high-flying
Churchmen; the way in which be employed the tedious
hours of his long imprisonment, the freaks of fortune
which at one time raised him to the highest pitch of
eminence, and almost unbcunded wealth, and at another
reduced him to a condition in which most other men
would have died of despair—are all described with the
hand of a master, and with such truth, such a glowing
unction, and such a congeniality of feeling, that every
reader will only regret that the article did not extend to
twice its length, though comprising not fewer than one
hundred pages. But the affairs of De Foe are not the
only ones that find a place in this narrative. We have
an insight into the wise and manly policy of William
111., a lively description of the motley crew of states-
men and place-hunters with a horn he had to deal, and
a vivid picture of the serenity of mind which that illus-
trious personage possessed—the man who would not
reign, but as an independent Sovereign, who would not
hold his crown by the apron-strings of his wife, and
who among all, the disgraceful wrangles of Whigs and
Tories, and Churchmen, and Dissenters, and infidels,
and debauch eas, only coolly remarked to Marshal
Schoenberg, "They are an inconsistent people." Then
we have the history and character of Queen Anne, who
was thirty-seven when she ascended the throne, and
" her character was formed and known. It was
a compound of weakness and bigotry, but in
some sort these availed to counteract each other.
Devotion to a High Church principle was needful
to her fearlul conscience ; but reliance on a woman-
favourite wa: needful to her feeble mind." Hence the
prodigious influence of the domineering and artful
Duchess of Marlborough, of Abigail Masham, and the
good Mrs. Freeman, and he nee also the disgraceful,
.:ruel, and mad persecution of the best friend of the mo •
narchy, and, perhaps, also, of the Church. During the
reign of William, De Foe had, in his interviews with
that Monarch, frequently urged the benefits that would
accrue by the union of England and Scotland ; but the
cautious Monarch replied that the apple was not yet ripe.
In Queen Anne's reign, however, the scheme was again
brought forward, mainly at the instance of De Foe, and
he was sent down to Scotland with the Commissioners
as secretary, and at the same time intrusted with con-
siderable influence derived from the Ministry in London.
To his labours, his prudence, and surpassing abilities
the consummation of this great and useful measure is
chiefly to be attributed. This appointment directed his
attention to various matters which he believed to be es-
sential to Scottish prosperity, and grounded in him a
high respect and liking for the Scottish people. He
wrote a poem in eulogy of them ; busied himself earnestly
with suggestions for their commercial and national ad-
vancement ; and afterwards wrote a very interesting
history of the Union. "We rejoice," adds Mr. Macau
lay (for it is needless to conceal his name), " to have to
couple that act so eminently in the best spirit of the
Revolution, so large- minded and so tolerant, with his
name. it changed turbulence to tranquillity ; rude po-
verty to a rich civilisation ; and the fierce atrocities
of a dominant Church to the calm enjoyment of reli-
gious liberty." Yet this man, so noble in all his
conduct, so useful to his country, and so happy in
his family, and who, in his old age, and on the
brink of the grave, loved, to use his own words, his
youngest daughter " above ail his comforts," was tried
at the Old Bailey, convicted, pilloried, imprisoned, and
ruined in his fortune, which then was not small, because
in his "Shortest way with Dissenters," he denounced the
Bill against Occasional Confcrmity. So stupid was the
public, the work which was ironical was taken for seri-
ous, and after a little the writer was assailed by one
universal clamour, " Sluggish, timid, cowardly Dissen-
ters were struck with fear ; rabid Churchmen shouted
approval, a Cambridge fellow wrote to thank his book-
seder for having sent him so excellent a treatise, it
being next to the Holy Bible and the Sacred Comments,
the most valuable be had ever seen." But both parties
were " taken in," and loud and furious were the ex-
ecrations of the Church and the Court against
the author. De Foe found it necessary to seek a
hiding-place in the storm ; a reward of fifty pounds
was offered for his apprehension, and a proclamation ap-
peared in the London Gazette thus describing his person :
—" A middle-sized spare man, about forty years old, of
a brown complexion and dark brown coloured hair, but
wears a wig ; a hooked nose, a sharp chin, grey eyes,
and a large mole near his mouth, owner of the brick and
pantiles works, near Tilbury Fort, in Essex." He was
not, however, betrayed, for with his usual honesty and
manly spirit when he heard that the printer and pub-
lisher were thrown into prison he surrendered himself.
He was condemned, as we have said, and ordered to
stand three times in the pillory. Here is the account of
the scene :
" On the 29th of July, 1703, there appeared, in twenty-four
quarto pages, A Hymn to the Pillory, by Daniel De Foe ;'
and on that y, we are informed by the London Gazette,
Daniel De Foe stood in the pillory before the Royal Ex-
change in Cornhill; on the day following, near the conduit
in Cheapside ; and on the 31st, at Temple-bar. large
crowd had assembled to provide themselves sport ;
but
pillory they most enjoyed was not of the Government's
erecting. Unexpectedly they saw the Law pilloried, and the
Ministers of State ; the dullness which could not compre-
hend, and the malice which on that account would punish, a
popular champion. They veered quickly round. Other mis-
siles than were wont to greet a pillory reached De Foe; and
shouts of a different temper. His health was drunk with ac-
clamations as he stood there; and nothing harder than a
flower was flung at him. "The people were expected to treat
me very ill,' he said; but it was not so. On the contrary,
they were with me ; wished those who had set me there
were placed in my room; and expressed their affections by
loud shouts and acclamations when I was taken down.' We
are told that garlands covered the platform where he stood
and that he saw the 'Hymn' passed from hand to hand,
and heard what it calmly said less calmly repeated—
' Tell them the men that placed him here
Are scandals to the times;
Are at a loss to find his guilt,
And can't commit his crimes.'"
He still continued to be the sport of fortune. lie was
exalted to places of trust and emolument in the State, ad-
mitted to Court and kissed the Queen's hand ; became
again rich and then poor; was struck with apoplexy in
the year of the rebellion of 1715, but survived the attack
for sixteen years, and finally closed his varied life at his
country residence in Newington. The following graphic
and affecting details of his latter days conclude this able
biographical sketch :
" While his gigantic labours were in progress, De Foe
seems to have lived almost wholly at his favouriteNewing-
ton. His writings had been profitable. He got little for
• Robb•son Crusoe,' but was paid largely for its successors.
We have occasional glimpses of him still engaged in mercan-
tile speculation; purchasing and assigning leases; disposing
of South Sea stock; and otherwise attending to worldly
affairs. But we do not see him steadily till 1724. A gen-
tleman named Baker, afterwards known as a somewhat
celebrated philosophical inquirer, had then occasion to go to
Newington, where he fell in love with a pretty girl, the
youngest of three daughters who lived in a large and hand-
some house in Church-street, which their fatht.r had newly
built. The father was an old gentleman of sixty-four years,
afflicted with gout and stone, but very cheerful, still very
active, with mental faculties in sharp abundance, keeping a
handsome coach, paying away much money in acts of cha-
rity, and greatly given to the cultivation of a large and
pleasant garden. This was Daniel De Foe. We know no-
thing more with certainty till six years later; when, from
one of the most affecting letters which the English language
contains, we learn that the conduct of De Foe's second son
was embittering the closing days a his long and checkered
life. He had violated some large trust reposed in him by
his father, and had reduced his mother and sisters to beg-
gary. De Foe writes from a place near Greenwich, where
he seems to have been some time wandering about alone, in
want, and with a broken heart. The letter is to his son-in-
law Baker; possessor of his best gift,' his dear daughter;
and closes thus I would say, I hope with comfort, that
it is yet well I am so near my journey's end, and am hasten-
ing to the place where the weary are at rest, and where the
wicked cease to trouble ; be it that the passage is rough, and
the day stormy. By what way soever He please to bring
me to the end of it, I desire to finish life with this temper of
soul in all cases—Te Deem:. laudamus. Kiss my dear Sold)),
once more for me, and, if I must see her no more, tel her
this is from a father that loved her above all his comforts, to
his last breath.'
" The money was recovered, and the family again pros-
perous; but Daniel De Foe was gone. In his seventy-first
year, on the 24th of April 1731, he had somehow found his
way back to London—to die in that parish of St. Giles,
Cripplegate, wherein he was born ; and, as long as the fa-
mous old city should live, to live in the memory and admira-
tion of her citizens."
There are other articles in the number that require
notice, but this will suffice for the present.

hp, NEW GAMING ACT.
PictUllTiorr To LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—SeveraI licensed
oore,",lers appeared before Mr. Hardwick yesterday. at Marl-
luiderth-street, to apply for licenses to keep billiard tables,
°kratir,he impression that the new Gaming Act came into
'll that day, and that they were required to take out
telletial license if they intended to allow billiards or baga-
.r4° he played in their houses.
take inalsPlicants were informed that they were under a mis-
N)er,ti NPposing that the new Act, which came into partial
lheee'°° Yesterday, extended to Middlesex and Surrey.
lktic._ two counties were not to be subjected to the new regu-
lstur,lptil the sth of next April.
ukiti in'litildwick further informed one of the applicants,that
°Pitijo-°4-ing into the provisions of the new Act he was of
take o that it was not necessary for a licensed victualler to
their°ot a license for billiards or bagatelle, for that under
4114 Publican's licanse they were entitled to have billiard
Th,,Natelle tables, if they chose.
Plae ' aPPlicant wished to know what new restrictions were
'lv/telett'n the publican who kept a billiard-table under the
kr.
Nva, Hardwick said the Act itself, in some of its clauses,
Reis 'very clear ;in fact it appeared that one of the ob-
Nits° Legislature—the prevention of tippling in billiard;
would,llo far tom being likely to be attained by the I.e ,
lar el „ ue entirely defeated, if his construction of the particu-
to itecuse was correct. Licensed victuallers were empowered
at w1,1_,) ,open their houses for billiards during all those hours.
Able they might legally keep open for the sale of exci.se-
law, quors.
Now a licensed victualler, under the existing
exciae'l'ight keep open all night if he el-lose, and might sell
Act ‘,44.1)1" liquors without being liable for a breach of any
llnaer", rarliatnent. Conse uently, licensed victuallers,
hard;`de new Gaming Act, may keep open all night for bil-
tigh.. and 'nay allow exeiseable liquors to be consumed all
!,lilno their billiard-rooms. The only restriction upon this
tc",iqu!irte freedom was onSaturday nights, when they were
ith:cl to close their billiard-rooms' before twelve o'clock.
he ar, applicant thanked the magistrate for the information
Pu ckained and remarked that it would be new to most
Positic, as' and of importance to the trade that their exact
11 under the new law should be ascertained.

PARTRIDGE SHOOTING.--The Duke of Rutland
and Lord George Manners commenced shooting on Saturday last,
the 4th inst., on his Grace's estate at Cheveley. The sport, on the
whole, was good, as they bagged 118 partridges and 16 hares. The
hares are not so numerous this season as last, as his Grace had left
orders to have them killed down, as complaints had been made to
him from his tenantry that they were suffering from the ravages
made by them. His Grace's agent, John Fairlie, Esq., fulfilled
his orders to the letter, and this year it is a pleasing fact that in no
single instance has any complaint been made as to their being too
numerous.—Cambridge Chronicle.
We learn by the Liege Gazette that, about eight
o'clock on Monday morning, the house of Baron Dothee, a major
in the army under the Empire, and a member of the Legion of
Honour, living in that city, took fire. The neighbours believing
the Baron to be in the country, did not go immediately to assist,
but sent for the firemen, who came with their engines, and soon
extinguished the flames. But on entering the house afterwards,
they found the Baron, who was upwards of 80, and his two ser-
vants, in his bedchamber, all burnt to death.

got up in such a hurry that they heated, and have had ;ince to be

BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS.
(Fame A CORRESPONDENT.)
It, will be recollected that in April last the cases of Thomas La.
kin and Ann Ward, were brought by petition before both Houses
of Parliament. It appeared that having been unable to pay a poor's
rate, and having no sufficient goods and chattels, they were impri-
soned in Leicester county gaol till the rate shoal(' be paid. It was
paid by a charitable gentleman. They were tben sent to the House
of Correction for one month to hard labour, for inability to pay the
costs, and having, as before, nothing on which a distress could be
levied.
Thomas Lakin has now been subjected to another levy, which he
is again unable to pay. A distress warrant is issued with the same
result as before. He is summoned befot e the Bench of Magistrates,
and committed to the county gaol, as before, for an indefinite pe-
riod, till the rate, amounting to ss. 4d., is paid, with the prospect of
another month of hard lab cur for the costs. This is a poor mats of
excellent character, as attested in writing by his employers and
others. His wages for the last elevevi'itteks (taken from the pay-
master's weekly tickets) average 9s. Bd. per week. The rent of the
cottage (the little furniture of which belongs to his landlord), is
Is. 6d., leaving about Bs. to support himself, his wife, and four
children, the eldest eleven years old and blind, and the youngest
barely twelve months I By going to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch
bench, as summoned a week or two ago, he incurred a loss of four
shillings, and the fees then charged and ordered by the magistrates
were five shillings for the magistrate's clerk, and one shilling and
siape.mv , an that doubtless when the hand of
from
charity releases him his brit a'nu
will, as before, be charged some twenty or thirty shillings costs,
and sent for a month among felons at the treadmill for inability to
pay that amount. On the former occasion, in April last, he was
released three days before the expiration of the month by the in.
tervention of her Majesty, both Sir James Graham, in the House
of Commons, and the Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, ad-
mitting fully the illegality and inhumanity of the course pursued
by the magistrates. The committing magistrates on that occasion
were R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and W. Wootton Abney, Esq. In
this instance they are R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and the Rev. Sir Nigel
Gresley. The commitment is dated from Ashby-de-la-Zouch,
Oct. 4, 1845.
Thomas Lakin is an inhabitant of the village of Whitwick, six
stiles from Ashby, and woiks in the Whitwick coal-pits.

- WOODSTOCK ELECTION.—An address from Lord
to the electors of Woodstock, soliciting their suffrages,
Alfred Spencer Churchill, one of the sons of the Duke of Marl-
Woodstock yesterday (Wednesday). It is brief. His
Lordship dates his address from Hounslow Barracks, and says, "My
political
principles and rule of action are identical with his (Lord
Loftus's), therefore, as you well know them, and deemed them
worthy
of your unanimous support, further demonstration on my
part appears uncalled for."
(A rich, very rich, address to the
electors, from Elliott, the duke's head gamekeeper, has appeared.

He offers himself on the duke's interest as a candidate for the re-
presentation of the borough. It is a splendid election squib.—Ban-

de soleil before they arrived at Bouffarick. On the 24th,
