In consequence of the extension of the right
of voting from East Retford to tie hundred of Bassetlaw,
a canvass has already commenced amongst the gentry in
that neighbourhood. Two of the four following arc ex-
pected to be returned, viz.—Lord Viscount NEWARK,
eldest son of the Earl of MANVERS, GEORGE SAVILLE
FOLJAMBE, Esq. of Osherton, GRANVILLE V. VERNON,
Esq. of Grove, and HENRI( GALLI- limGrir, Esq. of
Firbeck. The independent freeholders, orer whom no
controul could be effected, in case of a contest, either by the
Duke of NEWCASTLE, or by the influence of other nobility
in the neighbourhood, is said to be in the proportion of five
to three. The total number of freeholders in the hundred
amounts to upwards of two thousand.—Doncaster Ga-
zette.

Mr. PtEL ha compl€ted one of the two

Some of the London Papers mentioned a
few days ago, that the Duke of HAMILTON had had his
pocket picked there. Pick-pockets are well known to
have pretty long fingers; but, on this occasion, they must
have greatly exceeded the usual dimensions, as his Grace,
we believe, was at Hamilton palace at the time.— Cale-
donian Mercury.

In consequence of the decease of Lord
FREDERICK BICNTINCK, Colonel WILDMAii, of Newstead
Abbey, has Ettoweded to thr command of the Mansfield
Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry. It is fully expected that the
same will be joined to the Clumber and Newark troops,
thereby forming a corps of men rarely to be met with...—
Nottingham Review.

Something like what may he called a pig-
mania has raged throughout this winter, but is now be-
ginning to be a little on the decline. We are assured, by a
correspondent, that small store pigs have been actually-
fetching as high as Is. 6d. per lb. ! And, notwithstanding
the curing season is fast approaching tota conclusion, and
that the swine which are killed at this late period are
commonly of an inferior description, prices have as vet
experienced little or no depression.—Berks Chronicle.

The custom of piercing the ears for rings,
though an extremely absurd one, is, nevertheless, one of
great antiquity in the East. It is alluded to in the book of
Exodus, and by )(Error/fox; and, at the present day,
when the Persians mean to say a person is wholly devoted
to another, they use the phrase—" He weurs his ring in
his ear."

We understand that it is in contemplation early in tlik.
ensuing autumn, to remove the Reserve Companies of that
distinguished corps the 51st, or the King's Own Light In -
fantry, from their present quarters, at Forton, to their
original station at Brighton.

A night watch is about to be established al
Tatnitou, in this county.—Bath Iteratd.

DUNDALK.—An interesting case of child
murder occupied the Court on Saturday. The persons
tried for this barbarous crime, were ANN MAGRATII (aged
between 60 and 70 years) who had been engaged as nurse,
and PATRICE KELLY, the alleged father of the bastard
child. 'the latter was acquitted, but the hoary old wretch
was, after a long deliberate trial, found guilty of one of the
most savage and cold-blooded murders that is to be found
in the blackest annals of crime.— Carlow Morning Post.
SALE OF A WIFE.—One of those scenes
which disgrace civilized society, took place in this town,
on Wednesday. At one o'clock in the afternoon, a man
who sells earthenware led his wife, with a halter round
her neck, to the market-place, and exposed her for sale.
—The price asked by the husband was the very moderate
sum of threepence, which he soon obtained from a young
man. As soon as the sale was concluded, the whole part
adjourned to a public-house, to ratify the cheap bargain.—
Stockport .Advertizer.
An order has been received at this Dock-
yard, to send up to the Admiralty two models of the Genoa's
main-mast (made on the plan of Sir ROBERT SErrtsc's) ;
one in the state it was when finished by Mr. SELLY, the
carpenter of the ship.—Plymouth Journal,.

It is curious enough that, at a conjuncture
like the present, Nrg should only have a Charge des Af-
faires at St. Petersbutgh. Lord HEYTISSEUICY does not
go thither before June; and already NICHOLAS has left it.
—Morning Chronicle.

There was lately found in a fish-pond at
Abingdon, belonging to Mr. TOMKINS, a tea-canister full
of guineas. Fifteen years ago the coachman to Mr. TOM-
KINS'S father robbed him of 800 guineas, for which he was
committed to gaol, but escaped, and has never since been
heard of. This is supposed to be part of the money.

BIRTII.—On Wednesday the wife of Mr.
JOHN Hyrirrh.tor:, Captain of the brig Martin, of thin
poet, was safely delivered of three fine boys, which, with
the mother, are all doing well. At a former birth this
prolific mother was delivered of twins.—Dundec Courier.
CORONER'S INQUESTe—Yesterday evening
an inquest was held at the Ship York, Lower York-street,
Rotherhithe, on the body of ----- BEATAN, commonly
called Captain BEATAN, from his having been many years
master of different vessels trading to the South Seas, who
was found drowned in the Surrey Canal on Thursday
morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Found
drowned."

SINGULAR CIRCIJAISTANCE.—.About two
years ago, a weaver going across the fields between Cheadle
Mulme and Edgeley, bad the misfortune to lose his watch.
On discoverbsg Ms loss, he :flack all possible search in the
fields, gave information to his neighbours, and to all the
pawnbrokers in the town, without however regaining the
watch ; and main was heard of it till last week, when it
was found by a lad, close to the footpath in one of the
1d a through which the man had passed. The works
were completely destroyed in consequence of having lain
so long exposed to the weather.—Stockport Advertiser.

The Broomielaw quay presents at preHut a
very cheering and interesting spectacle. Along the whole
length of the harbour the river is literally crowded with
shipping; in several places the vessels are lying six a-breast,
many of them remarkably fine vessels. A great many
steam-boats, which had been laid up during the winter,
are now again preparing to ply, and preparations for the
approaching summer excursions are going rapidly on in all
directions : an unusual appearance of life and activity
accordingly pervades all classes usually employed at the
quay.-- Glasgow Chronicle.

" there is libel in
Rumours are abroad of another illustrious
bonfire in the world of letters. It is said that the elegant
author of many popular works had recently amused him
self with writing a small voltune entitled " Familiar Epistles
from Captain Rocs to his Majesty the I(l,lria:nn'o'(:tphneaott.tutsthehides
volume was printed; and that the whole impression (5000
copies) was put into the flames on the eve o f publication, in
iintensatwwit and critic

Barrister and Statesman, toontuloiifsineatrfnocreentml:
