THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

FRIDAY. MAY 6.

It is this day our melancholy task to record the death,
by drowning, of no less than three gallant Naval
Officers—namely, Admiral Sir JOSEPH YORKE, and Cap-
tains BRADLEY and Youwo, who were all capsized yester-
day in Captain BRADLEY'S boat, in Hitchen Creek, in
Southampton River, opposite Sir .losErit YORKE'S house,
by a sudden squall off land. This afflicting intelligence was
communicated, by telegraph, this morning, to the Admiralty.

The French Estafette has brought to us our usual supply
of Paris papers, from which we have made extracts of what
we consider their most interesting paragraphs. One of them

confirms, on the authority of a communication from the brave
StRZYN ICK I to his government, a defeat of 6000 brave Poles,
who had the temerity to engage twenty-four thousand Rus-
sians. The General, according to this paragraph, candidly
details the important affair, and states the loss of rash pa-
triotic warriors to have been twelve hundred. This, we ima-
gine, is the same partial defeat which lately has been so
much magnified in some of the German Journals, and which
has been noticed, more than once, by our City Correspondent.
The Polish victory over General R u DIG ER is fully confirmed.

The death of the King of SARDINIA has brought on
the stage of Italian politics, a Prince of formerly
liberal character—the Prince de CA RION AN. Whether he
will shew any predilection for his former Partizans, or suc-
cumb to the dictates of Prince METTERNICH, a little time
will develops.

In transmitting to us the copy of the ordinance of
King PIIILLIPPE, regarding the new order of " the days
of July," and the introductory address of CASIMIR Pa-
RI ER, our Correspondent in Paris mentions that it is an ordi-
nance which is not viewed in Paris favourably. It appears the
motto—" Given by the King,"—is thought by some improper;
as they argue the days in July, which the order is to signalise,
made the King. This can only be considered a factious hy-
percriticism, unworthy almost of notice.

Every day records new triumphs to the cause of the People,
slightly checquered only by such incidents as occur in every
field, even when exhibiting, like Britain, all the character-
istics of crowning victory.

Beginning in the North, we find Mr. DISH I N °Tow, Lord
LONSDA LE'S nominee at Carlisle, beaten by Mr. JAMES, a
Reformer.

In Lancashire, Mr. PATTEN, unable to encounter the po-
pular voice,thasretired, and left the field open to Lord STAN-
LEY and Mr. HEY WOOD, the patriotic banker at Manchester.*
The exhilirating triumph of the independence of Liver-
pool w•e noticed YESTERDAY ; and to-day we have to
superadd that, after the Reformers had polled above 1,900
votes, and General GA/MOYNE but 610, he gave up the
contest.

In Monmouth, Mr. HALL, of Lanover, on the second
day's poll was 31 a-head of the Marquis of WORCESTER,
sustained by the bithetto invincible interests of the

BEA U FORTS.

In Carmarthenahire, Colonel TaEvon, who voted against
the Bill, has resigned in favour of a Reformer, Sir J. H.
Wtt.t.t ANS ; while in Pembrokeshire Sir JOHN OWEN is
opposed by Mr. GREY! LLE, with every prospect of success.
At East Retford, Captain DU NCOM BE, in the interest of
the Dukery, is at the bottom of the poll, having but 241 ;
while Mr. VERNON, the reformer, had 434.

At Northampton, one of the sharpest contests of the elec-
tion bas ended in the defeat of Sir R. GUNN two, who was
unable to get within 140 of Mr. Sir ITH. Sir R. Guytrixo

such articles, oar compositor substituted s-astened for refired, and some
mks got into circulation before we detected the error. Making the
blunder about Mr. Patten, be made the same about Mr. Palma, of
Berkshire; but as the spirit of the announcement was contrary to the
weed employed, the few readers who saw those copies would themselves
be likely to correct the error.]
