LOCAL.

Captain Sanders, of the ship Spartan, now lying in the
Prince's Dock, has brought home a beautiful young leopard.
ARMY.—Two companies of the 18th foot arrived in Man-
chester on Friday from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and are to re-
main there until further orders.

It is with pleasure we learn that Miss Crisp, of our Theatre-
Royal, is performing with very great success in the midland
counties. Her performances at Hereford, last week, drew
crowded and fashionable houses.

Amongst the names of the gentlemen upon whom degrees
were conferred last week, in Oxford, we observe that of Thomas
Shaw, Esq., as Master of Arts. We believe this to be our
worthy common councilman of that name.
TURN-OUT OF COLLIERS.—A great number of the colliers at
the pits in the neighbourhood of Oldham, left their employ on
Saturday week, owing to a dispute which has arisen between
them. and their employers, respecting an equalization of the
size of the measures used in the mines. Part of the turn-outs
went to work again on Thursday morning.
Tfm ROTHSAY CASTLE.—We understand that the trial of
Mr: William Watson's action against Captain Colquitt, R.N.,
for the publication of a statement relative to the wreck of the
Rothsay Castle steam-boat, comes on on the Bth instant. A
great number of witnesses from Beaumaris, this town, and other
parts, "have been subpoenaed by Captain Colquitt. The cause
will be tried in the Court of Exchequer, London. It is exected
to create great interest among the numerous surviving relations
of the unfortunate individuals who met with a watery grave
upon that occasion.
CAUTION.-IMPOSTOR.-A woman is in the habit of going
about soliciting charity with a deaf girl, stating she is a widow
with two children. One of these children, it appears, is illegi-
timate. Her custom is to state that had she clothes for the girl
she could get her into the Deaf and Dumb Society. She has
repeatedly been assisted.with clothes, but, as soon as got, the
pawnbroker gets them. As a further statement, she says she is
not able to keep the girl, and, if she could get the girl off her
hands, she would go to her parish in Wales. This is a complete
falsehood, for she keeps the girl for the purpose of travelling the
country for her support.. Her dress, -blue cloak ; and, as a
cover, she carries a little pipeclay for sale.—Chronicle.
CAUTION TO ACCOUNTANTS.—At a Court held at Lancaster,
on Tuesday last, before William John Law, Esq., for the relief
of insolvent debtors, Robert Fitton, of Bury, accountant, ap-
plied to be discharged. he circumstances of the case, as stated
by Mr. Venables, and fully proved by a witness, were, that the
insolvent was appointed accountant to the bankrupt estate of
Samuel Nuttall ; and at the audit meeting he appeared before
the commissioners, and produced his account of receipts and
payments, which showed a balance in the insolvent's hands due
to the estate of £6B, in addition to the money in the bank. At
a dividend meeting, on the 30th July last, the insolvent did not
make his appearance, or send any account respecting the £t;8:
which sum the commissioners charged the assignees with, in
making a 'dividend in August last. The insolvent admitted
these facts, and the commissioners ordered the insolvent to be
remanded for nine months from the filing of his petition.
CAPTAN SKINNER.—The body of this unfortunate and la-
mented gentleman was found on Sunday, at one o'clock, on the
beach, within three miles of Holyhead. The head was off; but
the body was recognised by the want of the right arm, which he
lost in the taking of New York, in the year 1176, and a scar on
the left here is no doubt that sonic wretches had plun-
dered the corpse, as a gold watch, which was given to Captain
Skinner by the Duke of Northumberland. a gold chain, and a
considerable sum in sovereigns, which were on his person, are
not to befound. "His remains were brought to Holyhead, and
deposited in the bone-house adjoining the church, and were af-
terwards removed to his own house on Sunday morning. On
Monday, at four o'clock, an inquest was held on the body, and
a verdict of accidental death returned. The funeral took place
immediately after, by candle light, and the body was buried in
the same grave with his sister, Mrs. Barbaric. '
INCENDIARISAI.—During. the night of Friday last, a large
hay-stack, upon the farm of Mr. J. Counsell, of Lammack, near
this town, was totally consumed by fire. When the alarm was
first given the stack was in flames on every side, and there can
be no doubt that the event has been the work Of incendiaries,
actuated, as we are sorry to add, by political motives. Mr.
Counsel is a man firmly attached to the good old principles,
and had, when solicited, refused to promise his vote to Dr. Bow-
ring. He was afterwards told that he must expect to suffer for
his obstinacy, and we suppose the diabolical outrage we are re-
cording is the fulfilment of that threat, and the commencement
of that unsocial warfare by which a certain party hope to wrig-
gle themselves into Parliament. Doubtless this stroke was in-
tended to intimidate : but we can tell the perpetrators and the
instigators that they have failed in their object. Not only is
Counsell determined to maintain the integrity of his principles,
but others also, seeing the necessity of, at some time or other,
making a stand against the system of terror to which it is
wished to subject the country, have resolved to do so at once,
and have, consequently, now declared their intention to vote
according to their consciences for the conservative candidate.
We are glad to state that a subscription has already been spi-
ritedly set on foot, for the purpose of reimbursing Counsel for
the damage he has sustained ; and measures have been taken
which will, we trust, speedily lead to the discovery and appre-
hension of the perpetrators of the foul deed.—Blackburn Alfred.

_ .
ST. HELEN'S AND RUNCORN GAP RAILWAY.—On Wednes-
day last a train of coal-waggons started from the Broad Oak
Collieries, at the northern extremity of the St. Helen's and
Runcorn Gap Railway, and passed along the line to the docks
constructing at Runcorn Gap, and were there discharged into
a vessel, which left the docks the foLowin...o. tide. Although the
wagons travelled the extreme length of the line, it is not con-
sidered as a Cut resulted in a wager between a -coal proprietor
and the resident engineer of the Sankey Canal; the former
gentleman persisting that it would be possible to convey a ves-
sel load of coals to the Mersey, by this railway, before the first
of December. It is needless to say that this was accomplished.
The train was accompanied by Peter Greenall, Esq., the chair-
man of the company. Thomas Kidd, Esq.,' of Widnes, and
seyCral other directors of the line, and performed the journey
under the direction of Mr. George Thornton, the resident engi-
neer of the railway and docks. These gentlemen were accom-
panied by the highly respectable contractors for the execution
of the line, Messrs. Nowell, Thornton, and SeA, together with
a number of the Workmen and inhabitants of the neighbourhood
of the railway. _ _ _ _ . .

Cu ARGE OF Cu IL 1.1 S TEA LING.-A blind Irishman, who called
himself Joseph Welsh, was brought before the magistrates at
the New Bailey, on Tuesday, on suspicion of having stolen a
child from Liverpool. It appeared 'that the prisoner went to a
lodging-house iu Parliament-street, on Monday evening, with
a fine girl, about six years of age, whom lie called hisdaughter;
but the child, as soon as she saw the mistress of the house,
burst into tears, and said, that she had been taken that morning
from her mother's house, in Liveapool, by the prisoner, who
had given her a penny to say that her name was Susannah
Welsh, and had brought her to Manchester by the railway.
The woman at the lodging-house remembered that the. prisoner
called there about four months ago, when he told her that he
had neither wife nor child; she, therefore, gave credit to the
girl's tale, and caused Welsh to he placed in custody, in order
that some further inquiry might be made. Mr. Foster ques-
tioned the girl at some length, as to the truth of her story, when
she confirmed all that she had previously said, adding, that her
name was Susannah Murphy; that her father was dead, and
that -her mother lived in Short,street, Marybone, Liverpool,
and obtained her livelihood by washing. In his defence, the
prisoner declared that the girl was his own daughter, in proof
of which he referred to the overseers of Stockport, where he
wad, two years ago, a patient in the Dispensary,-his wife, at the
same time, lying-in at the Workhouse, and whence the whole
family were removed to Ireland immediately afterher recovery.
Xit luster ordered him to be remanded till Thursday, and di-
rected the overseers to make the necessary inquiries both at Li-
verpool and Stockport, the girl, in the niean time, being taken
-ewe of by the woman from the lodging-house, who expressed
much interest in her fate. Welsh was again brought up on.
Thursday and discharged, as it had been ascertained that his
story about being removed from Stockport was correct; but the
overseers who gave this information added, that they believed
him to lie one of da9- greatest impostors that :had ever visited
their town. The girl was given up to him.—Manchester Couriv..

ELECTION NEWS.

IIA awlcu.—Mr. Towers, one of the ministerial or radical
candidates for Harwich has backed out we find. Pt appears
that one conservative at least is sure here.
WESTMINSTER.—It is rumoured, that if Colonel Evans per-
severes in his opposition to Sir John Cam Hobhouse; Sir
George Cockburn, or Sir George Murray, or both, will be
.put
in nomination for Westminster.—Moriziny Post. .
WIGAN.—The three candidates for Wigan are Mr. Thick-
nesse, one of the present members, Mr. Richard Potter, and'
Mr. Whittle editor sf a radical print at Manchester. We are
told that the latter has not much chance, but intends to proceed
in opposition to Mr. Potter.
WARKINGTON.—Within the last ten days, the committee for
conducting the election of Mr. Blackburne, have been very
successful in their canvass, and they now consider that they
have such a majority of promised votes, as will ensure his
success. _

BASINGSTOKE.—We learn that the Marquis of Douro and
Mr. Walter Long have been canvassing the basingstoke voteis
this week, and that the numerous offers of support already re-
ceived, and the increasing success of the general canvass, as-
sure to these gentlemen the desired result.
PONTEFRACT.—John Gully, Esq., of Ackworth-park, throWs
up his hat for Pontefract. Mr. Gully enters the political ring
as a reformer, and proposes to set to with either Lord Mex.
borough or the Hon. Mr. Jerningham, the other two candidates
—most likely the noble lord, as the other is a Whig.

BIRMINGIIAM.—We do not exactly understand, whether there
be one or:two conservative candidates at Birmingham. We
stated last week, that Mr. Horseley Palmer and Mr. Clarke
'were in the field against the Rads, but we have seen an account
since which states that the latter gave plate to Mr. Palmer, and
this we think is the most likely version.
COMFORT FOR CANDIDATES.—It is said that the Northamp-
tonshire contest has cost each of the rival candidates not Jess
than £lO,OOO already! 0, most economising reform bill! Mr.
Tryon, a sound conservative, disputes the northern division of
Northamptonshire with Lord Milton. and there is little doubt of
his success. He has our best wishes.

EAST SOMERSET ELECTION.—The friends of Mr. Miles, and
supporters of the true interests of their country, will be gratified
to hear the success that that gentleman met with during his
canvass on Wednesday and Thursday last, at Banwell, IN one,
and Wick-St.-Lawrence, he having a large majority in each
parish in his favour. In the latter place there is not one vote
against him.

WESTERN DIVISION Or GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—A number of
gentlemen, farmers, and yeomen, ainouuting to upwards of
fifty staunch supporters of Lord Edward Somerset, one of the
candidates for this division of the county, dined together at
Frampton Cotterell, on Tuesday, the 20th inst., Capt. Shute
in the chair, and the most enthusiastic feeling in his Lordship's
cause prevailed throughout the evening. •
OLDHAM.—In accordance with a highly. respectable requisi-
tion, Mr. Burge has consented to be nominated a candidate for
this borough, on conservative principles. He arrived here on
Sunday evening, and during his stay he intends to sojourn
with John Taylor, Esq., of higher Groves. On Monday even-
ing he addressed a few friends at the Committee-room, Swan
Inn, and developed his political views, which were extremely
well received. He has met with the support of the most weal-
thy and influential voters in the borough, and his personal can-
vass will no doubt add considerably to his chances of success.
NOTTINGHAM.—It appears that the county of Nottingham
will do something for the conservative cause, but from the Not-
tinghamshire towns we fear a considerable majority of Whigs
and Radicals will be sent up. With respect to the county, Mr.
Houldsworth is, said to be safe in the north, and Lord Lincoln
in the south. The opponents of the former are Lord Lumley
and Colonel Gardiner, and those of the latter, Mr. Denison and
Mr. Morton. Then Mr. Gladstone will be returned for New-
ark ; but the other member (Mr. Handley) will be ministerial;
so will Mr. Vernon and Lord Newark for Bassetlaw;_ and, as
we suppose, both the members for the town of Nottingham also.
Lord Duneannon is named for the latter place.
PRESTON.—It is fully expected here that the election will
take place the week after. next, and, in consequence, ad is pre-
paration for the coming contest. We stated last week that
there were five candidates7-there. are five still, and all most
confident of success. Four out of the five have, indeed, all more
or less reason to look forward with hope, but really we are at a
loss to understand upon what support it is that the fifth leans.
We allude to Mr. Crompton, whoin we were led to look upon
as out of the field, but that learned gentleman has published,
within the past eighband-forty.hours, a confident address, in
which .he seriously assures the constituency, that he fully ex-
pects to be their 10.Witli representative in the course of a few
days. This is beyond our comprehension. The lower orders
are notoriously for I lunt and I orbes, and, as to the higher, be-
Yond a few personal friends, we apprehend Mr. Crompton has
not one respectable vote, the whole being pledged either to Mr.
Hesketh neetwood or Mr. Stanley. however, Mr. Crompton
himself is confident, and if so he has a right to go on. It has
been rumoured during the week, that Mr. Hunt and the Car-
lain have quarrelled—certainly they left the town by different
routes after having prepared to depart together. Mr. Hunt
gave a lecture on Whig government on Saturday night.—. Pilot.
GRAND CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT WICKHAM MARKET.

—On Thursday, the '29th ult., 'a meeting of the Conservatives
of the eastern division of the county of Suffolk was hoiden at
the above place, for the purpose of requesting the night
Lord Henniker and Sir C. broke Vere to permit themselves to
be put in nomination as candidates to represent that division of
the county in the ensuingyailiameut. Sir William Middleton,
Bart. took the chair, and in a neat and impressive speech intro-
duced Lord ,Henniker and Sir.Charies.N ere to the meeting.
These gentlemen were received with repeated acclamations.
After the applause had subsided, Lord Henniker addressed the
meeting, and after briefly returning thanks, expressed his devo-
tion to the Conservative and 'Tory interests; lie was followed.
by Sir C. Vere, who eloquently dest•ribad- the necessity of exer-
tion in the-present crisis. Sir kerrison, Sir 11. Broke, Sir
C. Blair, and several other gentlenten, addressed the meeting,
which was most numerously-attended, and they separated with
the most confident feeling of-success. The 'number of registered
votes fur this district is -12 W ; -the number. of signatures to the
requisition to the Right lion. Lord Henniker and Sir C. Vere
already amounts to 1350.. When it is recollected that, not a
week has elapsed since any deciSive steps were taken by the
Conservative party, and that even till the day of meeting it was
not known whether the right hon. Lord and the gallant Colonel
would accede to the wishes of tho party, it is perfectly astonish-
ing to have to announce the success .that has .attended these

initiatory proceedings; a success that has exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the most sanguite. When it is called
to mind that this measure of conservation originated, and was
at first mainly supported, by the yeomanry of the county, our
surprise diminishes; they pakess so large a share of intellect
and influence that if they wilt act accoraing to the decisions of
their best feelings, they must, without, doubt, insure success to
the cause which they advocate. •
DERBY.—ATTACK ON SIR R. GT:EIST:F.I.7---On lilonday week,
• Sir Roger Greisley made a public entry:into Lerby. He had
come to Derby for the purpose of dining vi-;(14.111is committee
and friends. An excellent band of mosie was in attendance,
and a variety of sp.endid silk liags,• inscribed with appropriate
mottos, worked specially fur the_occasion, gave notch anima-
tion to the procession. The route of the -procession I:roin St.
Mary's Gate, was down the Iron Gate,,turii-•"Market, .up St.
Peter's-street, liabbington-lane, and en to tie liurten-road,
within a short distance of the toll-bar. -I-tereSir-,Roger Greis-
lev's carriage, containing the honourahle,barote4 and Colonel
Ciaufard, joined the‘ cavalcade. We reg,ret to bay, that a great
concourse of persons, who had preceded,. and:, others _who fol-
lowed the procession front the town, repclti.jix..anuoyed the
gentlemen forming it, here broke out into the Most disgraceful
and riotous proceedings which it has ever been our duty to re-
cord. Immediately on Sir Roger joining his friends, they were
unmercifully assailed by stones, brick-oats; and...every missile
which could be collected together by the. mob. Great (puma-
• ties of rubbish had been previously gathered for the purpose,
and piles of stones were placed for the avowed purl:Wise of com-
mitting desperate acts. It may readily be 'supposed, that many
of the gentlemen were very seriously wounded, and that scarcely
any one escaped from injury of some description. A furious
attack was made on• Sir .Roger Greisley's carriage, and had not
the honourable baronet been bravely protected by a number of
persons surrounding him as he sat, so as to completely hide hint
front the mob, the outrage would probably have been dreadful..
Thess insults continued during the progress of the cavalcade
into the town; at several convenient places the most violent
attempts were made 'to disperse it., and to become possessed of.
the flags.. On passing the Market Head, Sir Roger received a.
cut on the upper lip from a stone. When the party arrived at
the County Tavern, a most determined attack again commenced,
and every one who attempted to enter the inn, was assailed by
stones and bricks, to the imminent danger of their lives. 11.1%
worship the mayor, with the most prompt attention, instantly
assembled the police, and took such steps as eyeutually led to
the dispersion of the riotous multitude, and the' pre.vention of
any recurrence of their scandalous proceedings.—Staprokire
Advertiser.

God, in every dispensation, is at work for our. aesd. In more.
prosperous circumstances, he tries our gratitude; in mediocrity,
our contentment; in misfortunes, our submission.

AT AN Y severe Coughs commence that either prove fatal or
1,11 extremely troublesome, which may b entirely removed
in the first instance by the use of appro r • e remedies, among

that its action on the pulmonary organ is extremely interest-
ing, that in certain conditions of th attended with a dry
hard Cough it promotes expectorati n, while in affections at-
tended with an invidinate secretio of mucus, it as certainly
represses it,.and acts the part of a astringent. The Ipecacu-
anha produces these varied effects, gradually excites the stom-
ach and, promotes perspiration. By a nice manufacturing
