time will come, and come shortly, when the opinions
of conservative Englishmen will be so strongly mani-
fested that not even the sleepy indolence of a sybarite
premier or (he traitor machinations of a mendicant
impostor will be allowed to despise and defy their ex-
pression.

OUTRAGE ON A RESPECTABLE VOTER IN ST. ANNE'S
WARD.—During the most anxious part of the election in
St. Anne's Ward, Mr. Andrews, of the Birmingham Arms,
Scotland-place, noticed the officious conduct of a party con-
nected with the radical interest, who had
.fixed themselves
directly in front of the polling-booth, in a coach, from which
they flourished a large flag, decorated with the radical co-
lors, over the heads of every voter that approached. Mr.
Andrews' feelings were so excited at the moment, that be
seized upon the flag, and broke the staff in pieces. He was
immediately charged into the custody of a policeman, and
dragged to Bridewell ; but upon being brought before Mr.
Rushton, he was forthwith liberated, Mr. Rushton obser-
ving that it was a case of very great hardship, that a respec-
table voter should be dragged through the streets on such a
Paltry charge. Mr. Andrews, we are glad to say, got back
in time to record his vote in favour of Mr. Davies. We
Understand that several of his friends in the ward intend to
Present him with a testimonial on account of his spirited
conduct.

PINE CLOTH.—We beg to draw the attention of our
have
to Messrs. Holmes' stock of beautiful cloths. We
nue had an opportunity of inspecting it, and can recom-
mend" a visit to their establishment.
Music.—Mr. Aldridge, the talented leader at the Theatre-
noval, will, we understand, shortly give a concert, at which
all the available musical talent of the town, both vocal and
instrumental, will be brought into requisition. A very at-
tractive treat may be expected.
THE EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS.—Since the Exhibi-
tion Rooms have been lit with gas, they have been quite a
Promenade. A great many ladies honour the rooms with
their presence, and give animation to the scene. The coup
d'ceil is very striking, on entering the room. Many pictures
that do not attract by daylight, look admirable when the gas
is thrown upon them.
PICTURE OF ADAM AND EVE.—This Picture still con-
tinues attractive. We have heard many opinions respecting
it—a proof that it has merit. We again recommend our
readers to inspect it.
THE STAG ROCK, HOLYHEAD RAY.—It appears from the
report of Captain Beechey, who has lately been surveying
that bay, that the dangerous rock above-named is only eleven
feet from the surface of the water, and is so sharp that the
lead would not rest upon it. It has been suggested, now that
its position is known, that by means of divers and Colonel
rasley's apparatus, it be at once mined and blown'up :—for
it is out of all reason it should be allowed to remain as it is,
While there are 23 feet water all round it.

STEALING FROM A SHOP.—A woman named Catherine
Cosgrave was yesterday charged in the police court with pur-
loining several shawls from the shop of Mr. John Roberts,
Whitechapel. The charge was pressed, and she was com-
mitted for trial at the sessions.
Motu. BAD COPPER MONEY.—A man named Thomas
Burgess was yesterday placed before Mr. Rushton at the
Police court, he having been found with about three pounds
Weight of spurious Irish copper money, tokens, &e, in his
Possession. He stated that he intended to purchase fents
With it up the country, and dispose of it only for old copper.
Mr. Rushton remarked that the town and country were in-
Undated with this base coin, fifteen shillings worth (in Dublin)
of which, the importers passed here for £2 ss. The prisoner
Was remanded until instructions should be received from the
Mint with reference to his case.

INDICTMENTS FOR NUISANCES.—The grand jury at the
ate sessions found true bills against Messrs. Edwin Maw,
William Gibson, Samuel Lightfoot, and several others, for
lluiances caused to the inhabitants by their works in various
Parts of the town. As the parties have entered into the re-
quired recognisances, the cases are removed into the Court
°f Queen's Bench, and will come on for trial at the next
spring assizes.
