DARTmoon.-LAVe hear it is in contemplation by
the Government to dispose of the prisons at Prince Town. The
courts and various buildings cover a space of thirty acres, and
during the late war near 10,00() prisoners were lodged within
the massive gates. The prisons are surrounded by a double
wall and an iron railing; at certain distances on the inner
%,all lamps used to be lit, and centries walked on the top, so
that escape of the prisoner was almost impossible. The prisons
at this time have the most gloomy appearance to parties who
visit there ; on the eastern side are the coffins in which the un-
fortunate Frenchmen were buried, quite above the surface of
the ground, caused by the storms of winter in this romantic
region, and the curiosity of strangers seeking for remains.—

A CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.—On Thursday Mr.
Payne held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital on the body
of Janet I\l'Doriald, aged eight years, The deceased resided
with her mother at No. 6, GrAre-place, Great Guildford-
street, Southwark. On Wednesday morning last the deceased
was left at home with two other younger children. She
wetted her frock and went to the fireplace to dry it, when
the poker, which was red hot, f,-ll out and set her clothes on
fire. She ran into the street, where Mr. Harris procured a
sack and put the flames cut. She was wrapped in a blanket
and carried to the hospital, where she died the same night.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The
other of the deceased was killed about six months since by a
packet of hops falling on him in Tooley-street.
TIIE FISIIERY.—The driving bout: in the Mount s
Bay have been very successful during the last three weeks,
since their return from the Irish Fishery. Many of them have
brought ashore as much as fifteen hogsheads of fine pilchards,
and the average has been about five hogsheads each. During
the past week, the total quantity secured by the Bay boats has
teen about 1,000 hhds, and during the threc. weeks, nearly
3,000 hhds. On Saturday last the rein belonging to Messrs.
Batten and Co., shot and secured about sixteen hhds, and OTI
the following day the sein belonging to 11Ies•rs. Davy and Co.,
brought ashore a similar quantity. The principal portion of
ihe fish has been placed in bulk, whilst some have been re
tailed at Is. Bd. per hundred, and distributed in the country.
The prospects of the pilchard fishery, upon the whole, are very
encouraging, and the fishermen are in high spirits. We believe
the success: they have experienced during the past week or two
has been rarely surpassed-3,000 hhds. at 50s. per hhd.
realise 7,500/.—and we hope our hardy fishermen will continue
to be as successful as they deserve.—Penzance Gazette.
""SUICIDE PREVENTED.—The happy results of taking
due precaution, so necessary with the dispenser of dregs, Has
fully exemplified in the parish of St. Martin's, on Tuesday last.
It appears that at about half-past seven o'cltek that mortang a
poor woman, the wife of Christopher Wilson, residing near the
union, and who had been in a low melancholy way some fair:,

A KING SIDING WITtI TILE RADICAL PARTY.—II
is known that in the last Swedish Parliament several bills,
containing organic and radical improvements in the Constitu-
tion, were thrown out by the lards and the clergy, in opposi-
tion to the votes of the burgesses and peasantry, which latter
is represented in Sweden. The King was, it seems, reluc-
tantly compelled to yield to such a powerful impulse. In one
case, however, he did not, and gave his assent to a bill equa-
lizing the law of marriage and inheritance in :Al classes of so•
ciety, which the nobles had protested against. This is the
first step, as it were, to do away with primogeniture and the
entailing of property. The Swedish papers are full in praise of
King Oscar, and consider this act as an indication of a liberal
and enlightened reign, like that of his late father.

MEETING OF THE NON-ELECTORS.
A meeting of the non electors, convened by plaeari,
was held last evening, at the Chartist Rooms, Black-
friars-road, to take into consideration the three candi-
dates now before the electors of Southwark soliciting to
represent the borough -in Parliament. At eight o'clock
tl=e chair was taken by an operative named Nodder,
whc, haling made a speech of so:ne on the ob-
jects of the nieeting, called Mr. Cooper, who has re-
c,ntly been liberated from Stafford gaol, to addrc:s the
meeting.
Mr. COOPF:R moved the first resolution, which was Co
Loosely drasn up, that the speaker candidly admitted he
could not understand it. Its nature, however, seemed.
to be a statement respecting " the natural rights of
man," as embodied in the People's Charter. The
speaker proceeded to c3mment at sonic length on the
five points of the Charter, :and concluded by expressing
himself in favOur of Mr. who was au advocate of
all those principles.
Mr. FEARGUS O'Coxson next addressed the meeting.

He complained that the placard convening the m eting
had not invited Sir William Mulesworth to attend, that

he might hear his (Mr. O'Connor's) answer to the ILm.
Baronet's statement of the previous evening. Sir %Villiatn
had, in his (Mr. O'Connor's) presence, stit, d that he
was in favour of universal suffrage. and if he now denied
it he was guilty of a falsehood. When he was a =di-
date for the borough of Leeds, his profession that he
would support these two points were the strongest claims
put forth on his behalf. But Chartist principles were
more fashionable then than at present, and although the
lion. Baronet was then ready to support them, he now
shrui.k from the prospective inconvenience attending
their advocacy. Mr. O'Connor tlit n went into a length•
ened statement of his own political views, and corcludtd
by seconding Mr. Miall as the only candilate worthy of
the suffrages of the non-electors. He had ortt n quarrelled
with Mr. Mall, but now he supported his principles
they were as man and wife.
The resolution was carried, and the meeting separated
