TATTERSALL'S.-JAN. t?,.

The betting on the St. Leger, yesterday, brought up °liven
so close upon the first favourite, Reviewer, that only a point re-
mained between them at the close of the room. At this we are
not surprised, as we do not know of any thing that Reviewer has
done to place him first on the list, if we except his coming in
last for a Two-yr-old Stakes, at the York August Meeting.
Calypso is also rising for the Oaks. For the Derby, Web again
has the call.

ELP,rTION OF AN ALDER3IAN.-AAJOIIRN-ED WARDMOTE.

Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock precisely, the Right Hon.
the LORD MAYOR took his seat at Cutler's Hall, for the purpose
of entering upon the scrutiny, to determine on whom the election
had fallen to become Alderman of the above ward.

The partisans of 11r. Sheriff Winchester, and those of 11fr.
Wilde, exerted. themselves to the utmost, to gain their wonted
triumph. For Mr. Sheriff Winchester, Mr. Wakefield, of the
Chancery bar, and the Hon. E. Law, were Counsel. For Mr.
Wilde, Dr. Lushington and Mr. Broderick. Several cases of
local interest occurred, but the chief questions to he decided were,
whether warehouse-keepers had a right to vote, and in many
cases whether an occasional residence was sufficient. These points
were tried in several cases, and the result we understand to be
that warehouse-keepers were not inhabitant househoulders,
within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, nor consistent with
the Act of Common Council, upon which that Act was framed.
In respect to the latter point, the case of Mr. Dawes was relied
upon. He resided in Skinner-street, but rented a house in St.
Thomas Apostle, within the Ward, but it was proved in evidence
that he had not slept in the house until after the commencement
of the election, and that the room he claimed in right of to exer-
cise his franchise was common to the whole of the inmates.

The arguments 'of the Learned Counsel were heard on both
sides in this and the other cases, and remain to abide his Lord-
ship's decision at the close of the scrutiny. Both the candidates
appeared to be confident in the result. At the commencement
Mr. Sheriff Winchester declined exchanging a list of the disputed
votes with his opponent, previous to their entering upon the
scrutiny.

SOUTH AMERICAN TOILETTE.—WhiIe I was
sitting on a horse's head, writing by the blaze of the fire, I saw
two girls dressing for the ball. They were standing near a stream
of water, which was running at the hack of the hut. After wash-
ing their faces, they put on their gowns, and then twisting up
their hair in a very pretty simple way, they picked, by the light
of the moon, some yellow flowers which were growing near them.
These they put fresh into their hair, and when this simple toilette
was completed, they looked as interesting, and as nicely dressed,
as if "the carriage was to have called for them at eleven o'clock ;"
and in a few minutes, when I returned to the hall, I was happy
to see them each with a partner.......l-Acurs Rough Notrs

SOMNAMBULIs correspondent, of undoubted
veracity, informs us, " that the sudden disappearance of the son
of Mr. Pearce, of Fisherwick, near Lichfield, created great alarm
in the faMily on Thursday night the. 28th December, but it sub-
sided on his return after about an hour's absence. It appears that
the boy rose in his sleep, having nothing on but his shirt and
night-cap, and leaped from his chamber window, 15 feet from
the ground, after which be took his course through an extensive
garden, and- by the help of a ladder, ascended a wall fourteen feet
high ; after walking a considerable distance upon it, he descended
by a tree into a thick plantation, through which he passed up-
wards of half a mile, crossing a current of water by a narrow
plank. his mother, on discovering his absence and his room
window open, went out in pursuit of him, when, to her great sur-
prise, she found him returning home without having received any
injury excepting a few scratches."—Staffordshire Advertiser.
Some days ago, an account appeared in some of
the Morning Papers, detailing the circumstances of a highway
robbery that was committed near Guildford, and describing that
Cobbler Will and another man were apprehended in that town
soon afterwards, on suspicion of having been concerned in the out-
rage. On that occasion, upon searching the tinnier, a silver
watch was found in his possession,
which he alleged was the iden-
tical one taken from him by the Chief Constable of Union-hall,
when he was apprehended on suspicion of having committed the
murders at Fetcham. Subsequently, however, upon the watch
being shown to Mr. Hall, he at once discovered the falsehood that
had been told by Cobbler Will respecting it. Since then' a person
named Mann, attended 'at ITnion-hall, and having stated that he
had observed a paragraph in the Newspapers, describing that a
watch, taken from the person of Page, was deposited in the hands
of the Chief Constable, requested to see it, when he at once iden-
tified it as his property, and stated that be had been robbed of it
in the neighbourhood of EpsOnl about three weeks ago. The
applicant was referred to the Magistrates presiding at that
place, before whom he might make application for a warrant
again,* Page,
