HULL ELECTION.

THE VACANCY IN VHE REPRESENTATION.—We feel assured
our townsmen will show the esteem in which they held the cha-
racter of the late lamented David Carruthers, Esq., by electing
a gentleman to succeed him professing similar principles, and
equal in business, habits,,honour, and probity. We are unable
to furnish our readers with any intelligence that can be de-
pended upon, as to who are to be the candidates for the vacancy
in the representation caused by the death of the lamented Mr:
Carruthers. Short as the time has been which has elapsed
since that melancholy event was made known, activity has been
displayed on all sides, but the results are not yet to be sought
fur. The conservatives have called upon the electors to with-
hold their promises, in the assurance that a candidate •will
shortly be proposed to them in every respect calculated to suc-
ceed the lamented individual whose loss we have so much rea-
son to deplore. We earnestly entreat our conservative friends,
and the eiectors generally, to act upon the advice contained in
this notice--they will not be long kept in suspense. In regard
to the whigs, radicals, et hoc genus (mine, they appear to be pul-
ling different ways. The noted Charles Pearson, as we have al-
ready stated, is in town, labouring iu his well-known vocation,
but for whoia we are not aware. A placard has appeared, is-
sued by Mr. Ashton Yates, offering hiinsetf on sonic one of the
numerous ramifications of the reform interest; while another
branch, as we understand, has waited upon Mr. Joseph Sykes.
Ackland, ever busy when the waters are troubled, has put
forth a placard, not for himself; but same friend, to lie pressed
into the service, as the colleague of Mr. Hutt. Mr. Hill is ex-
pected by some of his friends! Other parties are talked about,
and meetings, we are told, have been held in all corners and
quarters. Let the conservatives, however, only be firm, and
listen to all this din in the camp of •the enemy as a matter of
course, and they have nothing to fear.—Hug Packet.
We are pleased to hear that, the electors of Hull have invited
Colonel Thomson, the editor of the Westminster liceiew, to re-
present them in parliament, and that Mr. Yates has withdrawn
in his favour. Colonel Thomson is au advocate for universal
suffrage, annual parliaments, the ballot, and the opening of the
universities, and the utter destruction of all sinecure places.—

THE WOLVERHAMPTON AFFAIR.—Thank Heaven, our co-
lumns this day record the termination of the inquiry a Wol-
verhampton, notwithstanding the laboured efforts of the move-
ment party to procrastinate the proceedings, and the manifest
anxiety to get up an agitation on the subject. The report of
Sir.F. Roe will be published in due course, but we have no
hesitation in saying, from a careful perusal of the mass of evi-
dence supplied every day to us by our reporter, but which it
would have been an abso-lute waste of space to have printed,
that a more ridiculous-affair never took place. The folly and
knavery of the radical whigs. at Wolverhampton in seeking for
this inquiry can only be equalled by the cowardice and int—
becility-of the Secretary of State for the Home Department in
yielding to the interested clamour of the brawlers for the liberty
of the subject. They have 'Covered themselves with disgrace as
well as rendered themselves the laughing stock of the whole
country, while the brave fellows who exercised such forbearance
and humanity. under the most trying and dangerous circum-
stances, in the performance of the most painful of- military du-
ties, have earned for themselves
,not, only individual credit
and reputation, but have elevated the character of our army,
by combining with the strict preservation of discipline the pos-
session of the best attributes of humanity—temper and mercy.—
Morning Post.
The very exaggerated accounts which have been circulated
of the injury sustained dui ing the lute disturbances in Wolver-
hampton have induced us to make particular inquires into the
number of wounds inflicted by the soldiery.• From the best in-
formation we can acquire we lcarn that only four gun-shot wounds
have been reported, and one very slight case of sabre wound.—
WolverAampton Chronicle.
DEATH ()F J DGE'VANDELEUR.—The hope was delusive that
promised a continuance of life to this most excellent man. He.
expired rin Sunday morning at half-past ten, full of years as be
was of honour, deplored by his relatives and friends—regretted
by all. As a lawyer, Mr. Vandeleur was profound and erudite;
as a judge, dispassionate and impartial; and the best attributes
of our nature stood prominently developed in all his actions,
whether as a private individual or a public functionary. Even
the enemies of law and order, and, alas ! in this unfortunate
country they are too many and too vehement, have not with-
held from this estimable and amiable man the tribute of their
admiration and respect; for Judge Vandeleur, although a strict
upholder of justice, was a great lover of mercy.—Dublio Evening
Mail.
