SUDBURY ELECTION.
We stated yesterday that Mr. MACLEOD 1t
been returned for Sudbury. At the close of the
poll, the numbers were, for

Macleod
A. Smith

We are informed, that during the Chairing,
the successful Candidate was assailed with
plentiful supply of porridge and potatoes, by the
opposite party, who took that method of shelving
their partiality for the Scottish nation.

We would draw the attention of our readers
to the extraordinary verdict delivered in the ease
of CATIIARINE WELcu, this day, at the 014
Bailey. This woman has been tried for infanticide
and to say the least of it the evidence adducd
left a doubt as to her guilt. She said her child i
buried at Mary-le-hone burying ground a. fe
weeks since, and no evidence was brought to
show that this account was false. The pool
woman was in no situation to prove the afErmr
tive, for she was in custody, and had not,
as she pathetically said, a friend in the
wide world to assist her. The verdict
itself implied a doubt, for it was " Guilty'
but we recommend her to mercy, for the
evidence was only circumstantial." WI
question the legality of such a verdict, for
the law says, that where there is a doubt the pry
soner shall have the benefit of that doubt'
Here the Jury have not only doubted, but
have expressed that doubt, at least virtuallY"
Surely then the conviction cannot be legal : 13
all events, inquiry should be made as to the
truth of what she alleged in her defence 'before
the sentence of the law is executed, or there mO
rest great responsibility, and perhaps culpability
somewhere.

There is a report of the arrival of some of our
troops from Lisbon at Portsmouth.

MR. GREEN'S ASCENT.—On Monday, M
GEO. GREEN, the celebrated teronant, ascended from
town with a magnificent and splendid balloon, on a nel
an,l improved construction. From the circumstance °
this being his fiftieth terial excursion, Mr. G. very app,"
priately entitled it his " Grand Jubilee Ascent." The
tollowing is Mr. GREEN'S own account :—" On first es;
tending, our course was due west, in which we continue°
about three quarters of an hour, passing near Pleasingto°
Priory, and directly over I loughton Tower; we then encoar
tered a current from the N.E. by F. leaving Brindle about
mile on our lett, and floated over the villages of Bamberbridge
and Clayton-green. When over the last-named village, l
mouthg of
effected a partial descent, and met with the same current °
air with which we left the earth. We were then 1.35,

Journey, and, leaving Pentwortham about tiv°'
and Preston five miles to our right, effected a landing i°
the first field in the parish of Langton, about five miles
from Preston, and fourteen from Blackburn, after remain'
ing in the atmosphere one hour and thirteen minutes. Fro"'
the great distance we were then at from any posting tool°
we procured a cart, and conveyed the balloon to the Iwo°
arh°e
of Jas. Cox. of Thornton Barn, in the pa ish of Longsto'
when, after partaking of the hospitality of the worthy
host, we repaired to Preston, which place we reached "t
about half-past nine in the evening, where we procured "
chaise, and arrived at Blackburn about eleven.o'cle/4"
The inflation commenced under the immediate super'
intendence et Mr. WRIGLEY, by whose judicious arrange'
ments it was completed in an hoar and a half. The mere
cury in the barometer, on leaving the earth, stood
29 1-10th, and at the greatest elevation, subsided td
22 4-10ths, thereby indicating an altitude of
.one miles°
a quarter. The thermometer on the earth, out of tbe
shade, stood at 51, but during the voyage fluctuated to 61'
at the same time the barometer indicated a rise of abol''
4,000 feet.—Blackburn Mail.
