ELECTIOIVEERIT.II G.

A serious affray took place on Wednesday at Notting-
ham between the partisans of the election candidates—
Air. Rayner Stephens, who advocates the cause of Mr.
Walter, and Feargus O'Connor. -Warrants have since
beet) procured from the Magistrates against the latter,
on the grounds of affray and assault, and the cases will
be brought on immediately after the nomination.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
At a meeting of the members of the Metropolitan Im-
provement Society, held on Saturday in Covent-garden,
among other statements in the report, attention was
directed to the naming and numbering of streets. In
some streets it not unfrequently happens that there are
five houses with the same number ; while in the com-
mercial part of the metropolis there are no fewer than
28 King-streets, 20 Queen-streets, 26 Charles-streets,
25 Church-streets, 20 George-streets, and 23 John-
streets.

LAW AND POLICE.
William Powell, aged 27, and his mother, a decrepid
woman of 72, were tried on Tuesday, at the Hereford
Assizes, charged with the wilful murder of his aunt and

her sister, Lucy Parker. Death appeared from the evi-
, .dence to have resulted from bruises dealt in a scuffle be-
tween the parties. The female prisoner was acquitted,
but the male prisoner was convicted of felony, and sen-
tenced to transportation for life.
The action of Hunt v. Helps, in which the plaintiff
sought to recover the sum of 2,0001. from the defendant,
who is secretary to the British Fire-office, upon an as-
surance to that amount effected upon his property by the
plaintiff, was on Tuesday decided at the Guildford Assizes.
The defendant by his pleas admitted that the policy had
been effected, but he alleged that a fraudulent claim had
been made by the plaintiff on the office, and also that the
premises had been wilfully destroyed either by the hand
of plaintiff or his connivance. The judgment was, that
arson could not be made out, and a verdict was entered
for the defendant on the two first issues, and for the
piaintiff on the third.

The Rev. Stephen Aldhouse, late lecturer of All-
Hallows, in the City, was charged with bigamy at the
Wandsworth Police-office on Wednesday. The Magistrate
considered sufficient evidence had been produced to re-
mand the prisoner upon, and he vk as required to enter
into recognizance and sureties for his re-appearance on
Saturday.

SPORTING.
The race for tho silver sculls, constituting the cham-
pionship of the Thames, first instituted in the year 1831,
was rowed for on Wednesday, between Mr. Wallace and
Mr. Chapman, the rowers in former years, and won by
the latter.

:VIISCEZZA.NEOTIS.

A quantity of massive silver sacramental plate, which
is supposed to have been concealed since the period of
the civil wars in the 17th century, Las just been dis-
covered at Norfolk House by the workmen employed in
embellishing that mansion.
Lewes Gaol is at present dreadfully crowded : in the
female department, fifty-three women prisoners and seven
children are pent up in only 18 cells.
The official copy of the depositions taken before the
Privy Council of the evidence adduced against John
Bean, the prisoner now confined in Newgate for the
supposed attempt on the Queen's life, has been published.
The prisoner has not been committed on a charge of
attempting to shoot the Queen. His commitment is for
a misdemeanor, and it is believed that the Law Officers
of the Crown will resort to the provisions of the statute
of Edward 111., which provides against persons appear.•
ing before the Sovereign armed, under pain of fine and
imprisonment.

A fracas took place at a meeting at Limehouse on
Tuesday evening►, held relative to the management of
the parochial schools of the parish, between George
Frederick Young, Esq., late M.P. for Teignmouth, a
Magistrate for the county of Middlesex, and Black,
Esq., a gentleman of considerable property at Limehouse.
Mr. Black used an expression which Mr. Young called
on him to retract, and on his refusing to do so, the
latter gentleman placed a cane on his shoulders, and
giving him a slight tap, told him to consider himself
caned. Mr. Baker, the Coroner tar Middlesex, who was
present, apprehensive of consequences, immediately
attended at Lambeth-street, upon which the Magistrate
sent for Mr. Young, and bound over that gentleman im-
mediately in a sum of 100/., and two sureties of .500 L
each to keep the peace. "Mi. Black I,as not been heard
a, but has not yet sent any hostile communication.

CHINA.

IMPORTANT FROM NINGPO.
(From the Canton Press, April 9.)
We had last week the pleasure of publishing Sir
Henry Pottinger's circular, giving an account of the
gallant repulse by her Majesty's forces of a large body
of Chinese. By the Mysore transport, since arrived, we
have had accounts of new deeds of arms, and several of
our friends having kindly allowed us the perusal of their
letters, we shall now lay before our readers a brief ac-
count of the occurrences of the 15th and subsequent
days. It appears that after the unsuccessful attack on
Ningpo, the Chinese attempted to annoy the British
gerFison by obstructing the supply of provisions, and in-
telligence having, at the same time, been received that a
body of 3,000 or 4,000 men were encamped at the town
of Tsee-kee, about 11 miles to the westward of Ningpo,
Sir llugh Gough determined to attack them. A force,
consisting of detachments of the 18th, 26th, and 49th
Regiments, and a naval brigade, in all about 1.100
strong, was taken on board and in tow of the Nemesis
and Phlegethon steamers on the 15th of March, and on
arriving near Tsee-kee the Chinese were seen posted in
a tolerably strong position, immediately to the west of
the town, the walls of which were scaled at once, with-
out meeting with any resistance. When, however, the
British troops went out to attack the encampments, the
Chinese fought well, keeping-up for some time a fire
from gingalls and matchlocks.
The marines and sailors were directed to attack them
On the hill, which formed the right of their position,
while the 49th took the centre, and the 18th and 26th
the left of their camp. Here, it seems, the much shorter
distance (and no doubt impatience to engage) which the
marines and 49th bad to traverse, brought on the fight
rather prematurely, they getting into action much sooner
than the 18th and 26th, who had a long distance to go
over steep hills. The 18th were unable to get at the
Chinese till they had begun to run, and they then tuna.

LONDON:
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1842.

The Corn-law Returns, published yesterday, show
an average price of wheat for the six weeks of
645. 7d., which makes the duty still Bs. Already,
however, the returns begin to feel the influence of
the weather, and the average price of the week end-
ing bhe 30th of July was 635. 9d., being ls. 7d. less
than the average price of the week ending the 23d of
July. No further rise in average prices can, there-
fore, be looked for, and the holders of wheat must now
decide whether they will introduce it at an Bs. duty
.or hold it over, with a chance of not being able to in-
troduce it, unless by paying a much higher rate of
duty, for two or three years. We presume that they
will decide on blearing a considerable quantity at the
present rate of duty, and thus, under Sir R. PEEL'S
Bill, the great importation of this year will be at
the sum proposed by the Whigs as a fixed duty.
These was en expectation that the average prices
would reach a much higher figure, and wheat be im-
ported at a nominal duty. If Sir R.° PEEL's Bill
have prevented this without adding a grain to our
supply, which we believe no person will assert, then
its effect will be merely to enrich the Government,
and impoverish the corn-dealers to the whole amount
of the duty. It will have, however, to share the
merit of this with the fine weather and the early
harvest.

DUDE.

The King of Oude—whose decease has been long ex-
pected—died at Lucknow on the 16th ultimo, and was
quietly succeeded by his eldest son, Prince Sooryah Jab.
Up to the very hour of his death, it was considered
doubtful who would obtain the throne, and several
parties supposed it :probable that Nuwaub Jaffer Alee
Khan, whose succession was reported some two years
ago to have been arranged by a Secret Committee at the
India House, would turn out to be the fortunate indi-
vidual. Some disturbance was naturally enough ex-
pected, but from the judgment and prudence of the Re-
sident, who took the necessary precautions to secure
tranquillity, none whatever took place. The new King
was crowned on the 17th, with the usual demonstrations
of joy. It is supposed that the Minister Sherf-Ood
Owlah, to whose perfidious intrigues so much of the
misery that has betallen this unhappy conntry is attri-
buted, will now resign his office ; and if the new Mo-
narch have sufficient firmness for the undertaking, it is
to be hoped he will direct his best energies to the repa-
ration of his predecessor's errors, and the tranquillization
of his distracted kingdom.

BO ONDELK UN D.

Two gallant actions, in both of which our arms were
victorious, have been fought with the Boondela insur-
gents, in the vicinity of Saugur, and quiet has again
been restored. The first engagement took place on the
Bth of May, within about three marches from Saugur.
The enemy, to the number of 400, were overtaken after
a forced march of 400 miles, by a body of 240 troopers
belonging to Scindeah's contingent, under the command
of Major Minto, and immediately attacked with great
spirit. The conflict lasted two hours, at the expiration of
which period the rebels were utterly routed, leaving 40
of their number dead upon the field, and 19 prisoners in
the hands of the foe. It would have terminated earlier,
and been even more decisive, had not the nature of the
ground where it was fought, the ravines of the Kreenab
river, materially diminished the efficacy of our cavalry.
The second engagement was of an equally successful
kind. Lieutenant Ferguson, of the 36th Native Infantry,
was the leader, and with a small detachment of the
Bhopal contingent, succeeded in dispersing about 350
rebels, who had taken up their position on a. hill covered
with jungle, and driving them in confusion into the plain,
with a loss of a hundred killed. Our loss on these oc-
casions was about fourteen killed, and thirty wounded.
Another conflict was expected to have taken place
on the 12th,lbut we have not heard anything further
respecting it.
The rebels appear to be silently assembling in large
numbers in different parts, so that, though the late
measures have had the effect of restoring momentary
tranquillity; it will no doubt be necessary to strike a
heavy and determined blow before the insurrection can
be entirely quelled. All is now quiet, but, if we may
believe the predictions of parties on the spot, it is but
the calm which precedes the bursting of the storm.

PAILLI.A.MENTARY.

In the House of Peers Lord Beaumont presented a petition
from the Raja of Sattara, and announced his intention to bring
forward a motion on the subject, were someth.ng nbt done in
favour of the Raja.
Several Bills were forwarded a stage by their Lordships,
but not Lord Radnor's Bill for repealing the Corn-law.
The Noble Earl moved the second reading, and sup-
ported his motion by a pithy speech. The Earl of Ripon
moved that the Bill be read a aeaond time in six
months. L ,rd Kinnaird supported the original motion, but
the Earl of Ripon's amendment was carried without a di-
vision. We have now, we presume, had the last Corn-law debate
of the session, and, chiefly in discussing that subject, the House
sat till Nine o'Clock.

In the Commons Mr. Mackinnon obtained leave to bring in
a Bill to improve the health of towns by prohibiting the inter-
ment of bodies within them. Mr. Cowper supported the
motion and no person opposed it.
Sir Francis Burdett moved for a Committee to investigate
the negotiations between the Government and Mr. Warner.
Sir H. Douglas spoke against Mr. Warner's invention, and
Droved that Mr. Warner had evaded giving to the public the
proofs that he possessed the great secret of which he boasts.
Mr. Brot.herton read a letter to prove that Mr. Warner had
made the same promises at Oporto as here.
Sir Robert Peel explained the course the Government had
adopted, and opposed the motion. Sir F. Burdett pressed it to
a division, when it was supported by 2, and rejected by 72.
In reply to Mr. C. Buller, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
said the Report of the Commissioners to inquire into the Ex-
chequer Bill affair was ready to be laid on the table, but he was
not prepared to say, till he had read the Report, what measures
he should take.

Lord Ashley obtained an address to the Crown to direct the
Commissioners of Mines further to inquire into the appren-
ticeships in them.
A Bill was brought in by Sir J. Graham to confirm the
incorporations of certain boroughs, and indemnify parties who
may sustain loss.
Mr. T. Duncombe moved an address to her Majesty to dis-
charge Mason, the Chartist lecturer, and others, at present
confined in Stafford gaol.
Sir J. Graham opposed the motion, which, after a short de-
bate, was lost.

The House was counted out at a Quarter before Eleven on
Mr. Hume's motion to lay Papers before Parliament concern-
ing the Raja of Sattara.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The original columns of the Paris journals, received
this morning, are full of-comments upon squabbles in
the Chamber of Deputies about contested elections.
They are of no importance to the English public.
A letter from Nuremberg says :—" The highly im-
portant undertaking of the canal connecting the Rhine
and the Danube is near its completion, that portion of
it, in the vicinity of Neumark and Altdorf, where
stupendous excavations have been required, being
accomplished under the direction of M. Spaeth, civil
engineer of Nuremberg. The Government had in-
tended that the whole should be opened by the
end of July, but it appears that the line between Nu-
remberg and Bamberg will be the only part opened to the
public this year. Another undertaking connected with
the canal, and of equal importance, the establishment of
a railroad from Augsburg to the Saxon frontier by Nu-
remberg and Bamberg, has at length been begun, the
King of Bavaria himself taking a lively interest. in it.
The delay has been painful to the public, who attributed
it to an apprehension in the Government that it would
be injurious to the canal; but this railroad will closely
unite the north and south of Germany." -
The Madrid Journals of the 27th ult., with only cne
or two exceptions, censure in the strongest terms the
conduct of General Zurbano in Catalonia, which they
say is distinguished by barbarity and atrocity towards
all who are suspected of being enemies of the Govern-
ment.. Our readers will remember that this is the Ge-
neral, who, on taking the coeunand of the district to
which he lias been appointed, issued an order for shoot-
ing any person who, having had the misfortune to be
taken by rebels, should consent to pay them ransom for
his life and liberty.
The Marchioness of Belgida, the Lady of Honour to
the Queen, dismissed by Senor Arguelles, her 'Majesty's
Guardian, has written a letter to the Peninsular, ex-
plaining the motives that led to her dismissal. She
states that there was an inquisitorial service around
her Majesty not required either for the Queen's
safety. or that of the State, -and which could
only have for effect to degrade the throne and
insult the proverbial loyalty of Spaniards. " I
believe," says the Marchioness, "imbued as I am
with Liberal principles, that a system of frank communi-
cation would accustom her Majesty to be accessible to
all ranks of society, and to receive every individual,
without reference to his political opinions. A coterie
watches her Majesty's actions and words, and this sys-
tem of isolation and exclusion I do not think ought to be
adapted to form a noble and magnanimous soul, nor a
good, indulgent, and conciliatory character. In this state
of things I should compromise my delicacy, and my dig-
nity, and duty, if I became an accomplice in a system
that I believe to be bad, and I preserved functions which
I could not exercise usefully for my Queen and for my
country." - -

LAW AND POLICE.

Yesterday policeman 83, L division, was charged at
Union-hall with assaulting Mary Ann Luxton. He was
severely blamed for his conduct and fined 103., which
amounts to discharge from the force, the infliction of the
smallest penalty being so treated by the Commissioners.

Several case; of furious driving' of omnibuses ►ere
brought before the Magistrates, at Clerkenwell, yester-
day, and fines inflicted. The dangers arising from this
practice are, however, now becoming so common, that
the Magistrate stated he should in future commit to the
House of Correction, with hard labour, as the Act em-
powered him to do.

Pass to Quettah, where his presence is demanded.
Lieut. Hammersley has been removed from the politi-
cal charge at Shawl, in consequence, it is said, of the
advice he gave for the sudden abandonment of Kiln, Ab-
doolah ; and the information he did not give on Gene-
ral England's first advance. To the want of this last
the repulse of Hykulzie was in part ascribed. Lieute-
nant Hamtnersley is generally spoken of as a very de-
serving officer; and the representations to the Supreme
Government are, it is said, likely to give rise to some
curious inquiries—from which he has less cause to fear
than his accusers. Lieut. Pontardent has also been re-
moved from political charge in Beloochistan ; no cause
for this is assigned. Nusseer Khan has quitted Gun
dava ; and along with Captain Pontardent retired to the
cooler atmosphere of Kelat. A detachment of the 6th
N. 1., under charge of Captain Carstairs, has been sent
down to Beebee Narree to escort a convoy up from
Dadur to Quettah, through the Bolan Pass. General
Farquharson has returned from command at Kurrachee,
and is succeeded by Brigadier Hughes ; the former has
arrived at Bombay, the latter cannot get away from it,
in consequence of the S.W. monsoon now blowing.

SINGULAR: GALVANIC ExPEnimENT.--Weinhold
cut off a cat's head, and when its arterial pulsation had
ceased, took out the spinal marrow, and placed in its
stead an amalgam of mercury, silver and zinc ;
immediately after this was done the pulsation
recommenced, and the body made a variety of
movements. He took away the brain and spinal
morrow of another cat, -and filled up the skull
and vertebral canal with the same metallic mixture.
Life appeared to be instantly restored—the animal lifted
up its head, opened and shut its eyes, and, looking with
fixed stare, endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it fell,
tried to raise itself upon its legs. It continued in this
state twenty minutes, when it fell down and remained
motionless. During all the time the animal was in this
state the circulation of the blood appeared to go on re-
gularly ; the secretion of the gastric juice
.was more
than usual, and the animal heat was re-established.
SALMON FISIIING.—IsLar, JOLT 25.—1 n the early

paid a visit to Laggan river, with a net, to take a shot or

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

In Wakefield, every branch of business is reported to
be improving a little.
The. shawl manufacture at Paisley, which has up to
the present time suffered most, has taken a fresh impulse
in the factory of Messrs. Holmes and Le Batard, where
all bands are employed.
The master-tradesmen, resident in Chelsea and its
vicinity, held a meeting at the Wellesley Arms on Wed-
nesday, to investigate the causes of the present distress
of the country. A paper was ordered to be drawn up on
the subject, and to be laid before the associated members
of the Tradesmen's Society of Chelsea, as also the
Central Society in the City.
At the third annual meeting of the Proprietors of the
London and County Joint-Stock Banking Company held
in Lombard-street yesterday, it appeared from the Re-
port that the capital, doWn to the 30th of June, amounted
to 118,8751., and a dividend would be declared clear of
the " Income -tax " at the rate of 5 per cent. for the half
year. At the establishment of the bank in 1838,• the
Proprietors had entrusted their Directors with 70,000/,
which bad since then increased to 800,0001

At the Londonderry assizes an important and inter-
esting record was tried. It was the case of Fortescue,
executor of Magee, against the Lord Bishop of Derry.
The cause of action appeared to be that on the Ist of
January, 1836,:the defendant, in consideration of the
sum of 2,0001. being paid by Magee, promised to promote
his son, the Rev. E. A. Magee to the first benefice in his
power, but though he had advanced the defendant a large
sum, and was willing to advance the residue, his promise
had not been kept by the Bishop, though he had had
various opportunities of so doing. The damages were
laid at 3,0001., and a verdict was finally returned for the
defendant.
