ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
CORK (COUNTY).
The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. Traytcr in
the Chair.

John Philpotts was • called and examined by Mr.
Sergeant WRANGIIAM.- Is a voter of the county of
Cork; Lives near street. Went to vote at the
last election. Was accompanied by three others. 'When
he was coming towards Curk he stt.w a-- great crowd.'
He then diverged from the main ,read;' and. came
into Cork before the crowd. When he got into the
city, he, and those who were with. him, were as-
saulted by stones.. , One of them . got a blow of a
stone on the side of the head. He (witness). lost his
own hat. Went into the Court-house to vote. Saw
person of the name of Woods. He .(Woods) left the
Court, and was followed out by two men, who pointed
out Woods to a person outside. • He then suspected
something, and went out of the:- Court by the
back door to warn Woods. When -ha got round,
he saw several persons following . Woods, and
amongst them the two persons who followed
him from the Court-house ; he was beaten with sticks ;
Woods was doing nothing. Witness did not vote on
Tuesday ; did not vote afterwards. He WftS afraid to
do so, more especially. as he heard Mr. O'Connell was to
he in Court on Wednesday: He, saw cards given by a
Mr. O'Donovan, to those who voted for O'Corinell and
Roche. The substance of it was, " The hearer voted
for O'Connell and Roche ; God save the Queen." Heard
a person say to one of the voters—" Put up that card
in your hat and you will be safe." Told his father and
uncle not to vote in consequence of that. When 'Woods
was beaten tie saw some police. Witness asked them to
interfere. They refused to do so. They were afraid.
To the Committee—Did not know Condon at the time
of the election. Knows him now. Does not know if he
was one of the persons who refused to interfere. Told
Mr. Newman that the police refused to interfere.
He might have voted if he had .remained in the Court-
house. Heard of the intention of Messrs. Leader and
Longtield to give up the contest about half-past five
o'clock. had not heard of an application being made
to adjourn the election at an earlier part of. the day.
,Did
not see any persons with chalk marks. Does not par-
ticularly interest himself at the Registration Courts.
Thinks himself a Liberal, but does not like a Repealer.
Mr. GRAINGER—PIay, what do you mean hyaLiberal ?
Witness----I think Liberal is n person who supports
the laws and Constitution, and who is not a. Repealer.
Most of the English are Liberals.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM—I should like to put the
same question to each member of the Committee.—(A
laugh.) I believe each would have his own idea of a
Liberal.

Henry Wallis, a Magistrate, and Deputy•-Lieutenant
.of the county of Cork, was next called, and, was under
examination when our report was brought oft

LYME REGIS.

The Committee met this day at ten o'clock.
The vote of James Cousins was objected to by the
petitioner, and, after hearing some evidence, the vote
was retained.

Some of the members having to •go to the Drawing-
room, the Committee adjourned at a few minutes to one
o'clock.
The sitting Member is still in a majority of one.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

,BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

A rough-looking young man, and a rather pretty-faced
young female, who were evidently of the very lowest
class, were placed at the bar, charged with the following
misdemeanour, and assaulting the police in the execution
of their duty.
Mr. Wild, the landlord of the Marquis of Granby
public•house in Drury-lane, stated that last night, about
twelve o'clock, the two prisoners were sitting in the tap-
room, and after every one had gene, and the female had
been turned out, the male remained ; witness requested
him frequently to go away, as the female was making a
disturbance outside, but he would not go. After some
time witness went to him again, and said he was deter-
mined he should go, when he started up and tore wit-
ness's shirt and waistcoat, and otherwise behaved very
violently. The female prisoner, who had been turned
out previously, and was making the noise outside the
door, would not leave the premises till he went out, and
that was the reason witness wished to turn the male
prisoner out ; he was quite sober at the time.
Police=donstable, F 121, stated that the last witness
gave the male prisoner into his charge. -He went along
a few paces very quietly, but ho then became very vio-
lent, threw himself on the ground, kicked witness, and
struck him a very serious blow on the mouth. Mr. Wild's
shirt and waisteoast were torn.

Police-constable, E 28,, went to assist the last witness,
who was surrounded by amob of low persons, all of whom
were endeavouring to rescue the prisoner. The male
prisoner kicked him also in the ribs, and was otherwise
very violent. Witness was compelled to leave hold of
another prisoner, in order to assist in taking this one.
Policeman, F 145, assisted the two last witnesses in
taking the ma!e prisoner into custody, when he kicked
him very violently, and made considerable resistance in
.going to the station-house.
'The male prisoner, in defence, complained that he had
been drinking the whole of the day in Mr. Wild's house,
and had spent all his money, when Mr. Wild attempted
to :urn him out in a very unmanly way, seiiinghini by the
throat; &c. Mr. Wild was in the habit of turning people
out of his house when they had spent all their money,
and he thought that was a very hard, thing. When he
was given into charge he said he would go quietly with
any man, but he was not a felon, and did not wish to be
dragged about in the manner in which he was ; some of
the police, however, behaved very roughly to him, and
he confessed that he resisted.

Mr. TWYFORD sentenced the male prisoner to be im-
prisoned in the House of Correction for one month : the
female, it appears, was to have been charged with assault-
ing Mrs. Wild, but, as the lady was not present, she was
discharged.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Jane Howell, a female of decent appearance, about 35
years of age. was charged with " intending to drown her-
self in the Serpentine River."
Police Constable, N 0.25 of the A division, stated, that
about half-past nine o'clock last evening, as he was on
duty in Hyde Park, near to the Royal Humane Society's
Receiving-house, his attention was drawn to the prisoner,
who was walking on the margin of the river, read-
ing a prayen,book. She had attracted the ob-
servance of several persons by her strange des;.
meanour, who began to assemble around her.
Two or three times she pushed towards the
water,' as if about plunging herself in, but desisted,
either from persons advancing towards her, or the sound
of an approaching carriage. Witness accosted her, and
inquired what she was doing there, but she refused to
give anyaccount of herself, and seemed painfully anxious
to screen herself from the gaze of the bystanders, who
had bean observing her actions. On her way to the sta-
tion-house, she admitted that her intention was to drown
herself, in consequence of a quarrel she had had
with -a -person whose name she refused to give, as also
her address, further than stating that she had been
living at the east end of the town. On witness reproving
her for attempting such a rash act she replied, in a tone
of bitterness, "You did not give me life, and have no
right to prevent my taking nay own."
Mr. ILAnnwlcK—W hat account are you now disposed
to give of yourself. Where do you come from. What
are you ? Prisoner—l decline answering those questions.
Mr. HARDWICK—But in what station of -life have you
been in. How did you gain your livelihood ? Prisoner
—I have been the head of a family for eleven years.
Mr. HARDWICK—In what capacity? Prisoner (burst-
ing into tears, and evidently in great agony of mind)—
I was called a wife ; but I am abandoned, and have no
relatives or succour to look to.

Mr. HARDWICK further interrogated the unfortunate
woman, but she persisted in refusing to give any account
of herself or connexions, and the worthy Magistrate
therefore directed that for the presebt she should be re-
ceived into St. George's Workhouse.
BEGGING IMPOSTORS —John Holloway, a blind 'man,
and Mary his wife, a remarkably strong, able-bodied
woman, were apprehended last night in New Bond-
street, by William Horsford, one of the constables be-
longing to the Mendicity Society, soliciting alms, by
stating that they were actually starving, not having
tasted any food whatever for the space of forty-eight
hours. On searching the male prisoner at the station-
house, 11. 16s. 6d. in silver was found sewed up in the
waistband of his breeches.
They were committed for 21 days each.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named../ohn Meadows, was charged
with having violently assaulted an eating-house4teeper
named Collins, living in Brick-lane, St, Luke's.
On the preceding:- evening the complainant was
disturbed by a loud uproar in, front of his.
house. On going out, he found . the prisoner
engaged in beating a woman in a most un-
merciful manner. He felled her three times to the
ground, and continued beating her until she became in-
sensible. The complainant interfered in protection of
the unfortunate woman, upon which he was attacked by
the prisoner, who struck him several blows in the face,
and he was given into custody.
In his defence, the prisoner charged the prosecutor
with having struck him first, and considered he had no
right to interfere, as the woman he had half murdered
was only his wife.
The prisoner was severely admonished by the Magis-
trate, and fined 20s. or a month's imprisonment.

NEWSVENDERS' PROVIDENT AND BENEVOLENT
INsTrrunoN.--Last evening the third Annual Meeting
of this Society, which is established for granting tempo-
rary relief and permanent assistance to masters and
servants, whom age, infirmity, or distress afflict, was held
at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street, James Harmer, Esq.,
president in the chair. • Messrs. Wood, Southgate,
Merrit, Harding, Luxton,' Bond, &c., &c., were present.
The Report stated that the Society was duly • enrolled
according to Act of Parliament. The subscribers, do-
nors, and friends were steadily increasing. By the ex-
cursion to Ingress Hall in July'last they lost 25/., and
by the engaging of the Haymarket Theatre in March
they also lost about 4/. ; but the excursion to Twicken-
ham netted lot los. profit. The receipts for the past
year were 98/. Bs. 5d., and the expenditure left a balunee
of 411. Bs. ld. The total property of the Society figured
719/. ss.- 7d. The Report was adopted ; the officers for
the ensuing year were elected ; and thanks voted to the
Chairman.

THE CHANDOS TESTIMONIAL.

The ceremony of presenting a piece of plate to the
Duke of Buckingham, took place yesterday, at Ayleg -
bury, when about 600 persons sat down to. dinner. It
was to have been given in the George Inn, but there
being no room within the house suffimently large to ac-
commodate the guests, a temporary banqueting hall was
erected in the area. It was tastefully ornamentcd and
hung with flowers and laurel branches, and lighted from
the centre hy,.a handsome chandeleir. -••- •
TheT.plitte 'consists .of a magnificent, centre-piece, or
Ornament fur a, dinner-table, in silver, richly- gilt. The
base is a fluted ground, divided into circular pedestals,
which rest on- crouching lions, copies from those at
Stowe, and admirably executed. Each of these pedes-
tals bears a figure typical of one of the different classes
into whicli an-agricultural-peasantry are divided, namely,
a ploughman, a shepherd, a . sower, a reaper, a mower,
and a dairy-maid. From the base a circular stand
arises, and displays groups of cattle and a highly-
wrought bas relief, representing the whole of the farmer's
labours. From this springs a richly-fluted column sur-
mounted by a whentsheaf, the Duke's crest, and sur-
rounded by three figures representing country gentle-
men and farmers, each bearing a scroll. On one is
inscribed, "Chandos, Church and State," on the second,
" Chandos, and the Corn-laws," and on the third,
" Chandos, and the 50/. c!ause." On the circular stand,
sitrmounting the base, the Buckingham arms arc richly
chased, and a scroll displays'itself, on which is engraved
the following inscription :

" THE CHANDOS TESTIMONIAL,

" Presented by a very numerous body of farmers of
Buckinghamshire, and other friends connected %%WI agri-
culture, to Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Buckingham
and Chandos, K.G., G.C.11., and P.C., on the 18th- or
May, 1842; to record their admiration of public princi-
ples steadily maintained in unsettled times, and as a tri-
bute of respect and gratitude for his services whilst

native county in Parliament, where, for upwards of
twenty years, he was the energetic, consistent, and suc-
cessful champion of the agricultural interests of the
United Kingdom."
The weight of this costly specimen of British art is
1,800 ounces, its height four feet six inches, and its value
upwards of two thousand pounds.

- The chair WSIG taken athalf-past three o'clock by the
Right Honourable the Earl of Orkney, supported on his
right by hid Grace thk.Duke of Buckingham, and on his
kit hr Ler De Lisle ; and at the same table were Sir
Thomas Freemantle, Mr.'Joeph--/Steeld, M.P., Mr. John

After the usual loyal toasts,
_ . _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN iheri rose and said—My dear Lord
Duke, I;cannot say with what feelings of personal _delight
and satisfaction 1 find myself deputed by the farmers of
Buckinghamshire, and other friends attached to agricul-
ture, to present to -your Grace the piece of plate which
you now see before you.—(Loud cheers.) Handsome, I
trust, your Grace will think:. it, but it is, I assure you,
far below Our estimate ofWhat your past services deserve.
At the same- time, I dolrust that the list of subscribers
will be satisfied. Fortunately it is not.left for me feebly
to praise or to convey to your: Grace the opinion which
this county entertains of your character. It is clothed
in most eloquent language in the address which Mr. Tyn-
dall, our Honourary Secretary, will be good enough to
read.—(Cheers.)
Mr. TYNDALL read the Address, which contained high
compliments to his Grace for his uniform consistency
and principle—reverence
,for ancientinstitutions—aver-
sion to great changes—and, above all, for the protection
he had ever afforded to the agricultural interest, justly
entitling him to the epithet of " The Farmers! Friend."
The reading of the Address was interrupted by frequent
bursts of applause, and, at the conclusion, the cheering
was renewed and continued for several minutes. The
company then rose and drank the Duke. of Buckingham's
health, with nine times nine. -

The Duke of BUCKINGHAM then rose, and addressed
the meeting nearly as follows :—My Lords and Gentle-
men,—lf on former occasions, in this county, when sur-
rounded by large assemblages -of my friends, 1 have felt
any difficulty in returning.thanks for your kindness,what
must I now feel ? My Lords and Gentlemen, when Ilook
round this vast assemblage, and see in this room the wealth,
the power, the influence, and the intelligence of this county
—(Cheers)—when I see around these tables some, who, in
my early days, were the first to cheer my onward course
in political life—when I see also those who have ever
been my firm, consistent, and active friends—(Cheers)
—when I look back to this time four-and-twenty years
ago, when I first, within four days of ,the present time,
started as candidate for your county, I cannot but feel
difficulty indeed in expressing -that my heart feels on
this occasion. Often, gentleman, as I have addressed
you—often as I have received acts of kindness from
you—l have not power on this occasion to speak
the sentiments of-my h:-art.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The
manner in which you have drunk my health, the kindness
and approbation with which you have received the ex-
pressions contained in the eloquent Addresi which has
just been readido you, the splendid and magnificent
tribute of your affectionate regard I now see before me—
all, together create in my mind a mass of gratitude which
it is out of my power .to express. With these feelings
animating my heart, and with an anxious desire to put
on record my feelings towards this country, and to the
friends who surround me, I will, with the permission of
our Noble Chairman, place in your hands, in resply to your
Address, one -frOin myself, which, when I am gone,
may recall to your recollection the sentiments
which I entertain towards you all.—(Great cheering.)
His Grace read the reply in which he adverted to the
topics contained in the AddreSs, and thus concluded :
" And now, gentlemen, allow me again to repeat my
warmest thanks for the magnificence with which you
have carried out your generous wishes to perpetuate the
remembrance of your esteem and regard by this splendid
tributa, "The Chandos. Testimonial,' subscribed to by
the highest, as well as the most humble, in this county,
which will often remind me of absent and esteemed
friends—of days of happiness when active in your
service, and which will be handed down to my successors
as one of their most valued possessions.
" Let me offer you, too, my best acknowledgments for
the flattering expressions contained in.your Address—
for the many useful and kind suggestions I have received
from you during many pleasant hours of private inter-
course, and at our social meetings—for your invariable
indulgence—for your reception of me this day—for the
costly and complete arrangements I see around me—
and the patient attention which you have granted to this,
I fear, imperfect ,attempt to give utterance to feelings
that have almost overpowered me. May God bless you,
my generous and valued friends, and so far as the best
wishes of the individual who now thanks you for kind-
ness 'heaped up and running over'. can avail—may all
long enjoy-the comforts of a happy home, and live in
the participation of every prosperity under the mild and
benignant sway of our gracious and beloved Sovereign !"
The following toasts were then given in succession :
" The Bishops and Clergy;" " The Lord-Lieutenant and
Magistrates of the County;" "The Noble Earl in the
Chair;" and " The County and BorouglMembers."
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, in proposing the health of
the "British Farmer," said , it has been my good fortune
through life to mix much with that important class of
her Majesty's subjects, and I have felt a proud satisrac-
tion in being associated with a body of men who are dis-
tinguished by a loyalty and patriotism unequalled in the
history of the world. If we look to this splendid country,
. our r.at.ive land, and see the advancement which has been
effected by the British farmer, we must, indeed, be proud
of that class of her Majesty's subjects; and'l must say, that
no man has ever received greater marks of kindness from
that body than I have, and those, too, not confined to the
county with which I am connected so closely. It
is not for me, ellh this occasion, to enter into political dis-
cussions, or to canvass what has been. done, or what may
not have been done, but I am proud to have seen the day
when I could appear before my countrymen, and boldly
assert, in the face of Heaven, that I never flinched for a
moment, but always did my utmost in support of the
agricultural interests of this kingdom.—(Loud cheers.)
For I assure you of this, my Lords and Gentlemen, and
the farmer may be assured, that although I have
witnessed days in whieh his hopes and mine have
been disappointed, still I am his wakeful, and
will ever be, his trusty sentinel.—(Cheers.) I regret
that I am no longer the representative of the farmer's
interests in the lower House of Parliament, but I do
trust that there 'may be found in the other House
opportunities for protecting those interests. Of this,
however, I can assure you, that the grave shall close
over me ere I shall cease my exertions for the welfare of
the British farmer. I hope we may both yet see a day in
which we may not be so disappointed as we have been,
for I have lived with the British farmer in his prosperity,
and I trust sincerely that God will restore. it to him.
Mr. llonwoon returned thanks.
Colonel VYSE proposed " The health of the Marquis
of Chandos," which was received With loud applause.
The Marquis of CHANDOS said lie could not adequately
expuits his gratitude for the manner in which his health
had been received by the distinguished assemblage he
saw around him. If anything Were wanting to stimulate
him to a patriotic course, that want would be supplied by
the acclattations with which his father's health had been
received, and the readiness with which his services to the
farmers had been acknowledged.. He (the Marquis of
Chandos) trusted that he might live to.exhibit the same
zeal, and to earn the same gratitude, by advocating the
same principles.—(Hear, hear.) •
The other toasts w ere then dispoSed of, and the meet-
ing broke up shortly after nine o'clock.

OXFORD, MAY 18.--(From a Correspondent.)—
By the provisions of the Theological Statute, passed at
Oxford last week, Dr. Hampden, Regius Professor of
Divinity, has been constituted Chairman -of the New
Theological Board, and is also forihally recognised as a
public University Professor in Dogmatic Theology, and
the Interpretation of the Scriptures: The Statute, there-
fore, virtually rescinds the unfavourable judgment passed
by the University, at the instance of the Tractarian
party, in 1836, on occasion of Dr Hampden's appoint-
ment to the Chair by the late Administration. -
THE ROEHAMPTON MunpEß.—The statement
which was pretty generally circulated this morning that
James Turner, the snatch-maker, whom Good said had
assisted him in cutting up the body of his unfortunate
victim, had,,been apprehended, is wholly Withont founda-
tion. TiterOdsivery little doubt but that Good's whole
statement is a tis.use%f falsehoods, and that such a per-
son as James Turner, as deseribed by Good, does not
exist.

Yesterday morning the portion of the new street
which is to lead from Holborn-bridge to Islington, and is
completed as far as West-street, was thrown open to
