I have willingly given my assent to the measures you
have passed for the prevention of bribery and of corrupt
practices 'at elections; and I hope that it may prove effec-
tual in the correction, of an evil which, if unchecked,
threatens to fix a deep stain upon our representative
systeni. •

It is my earnest desire that, on returning to your res-
pective counties, you may preserve a spirit of union and
concord.. Deprived of the blesiings of peace abroad, it is
more than ever necessary that we should endeavour to
confirm and increase the advantages of our internal
situation ; and it is with the greatest satisfaction that I
regard the progress of active industry, and the general
prosperity which happily prevails throughout the country.
Deeply sensible of these advantages, it is my humble
prayer that we may continue to enjoy the favour of the
Almighty ; and that under His gracious protection we
may be enabled to bring the present contest to a just and
honourable termination.

The Lord Chancellor then declared that it was her
Majesty's pleasure that Parliament should stand prorogued
till Thursday, the 19th of October, and that Parliament
was accordingly prorogued till that date.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN ENGINEMEN.--.We
are requested to state that the trains of the London and
North-western Company have been worked since Friday
with their usual regularity, the places of the dissentients
having been filled with competent men from the company's
own resources ; and we are happy to learn that the differ-
ences between the men and their masters have been so far
accommodated that there is no reason to apprehend further
disturbance. We understand that this desirable result was
brought about by the personal intervention of the Marquis
of Chandos, and that, as stated in the minute of the direc-
tors, which has been already published, an immediate in-
vestigation will be made into the alleged grievances of
the drivers and firemen.—Tinges.

MELANcnorr DEATII.—A few days since, Mr. John
Frampton, attorney, late of Cerne-Abbas, Dorsetshire, was
found dead in the Fordington-field, near Dorchester. The
deceased was for many years clerk to the magistrates of
the Cerne division, and one of the coroners for the county.
On his being discovered by a labourer, he was lying on
his face and hands among the growing oats, with his
walking-stick near him. Assistance was obtained, and he
was removed to an inn, where an inquest has since been
held. Evidence was produced to show that many months
since he had been seized with a fit; and that on the even-
ing before he was found he was seen walking in the
direction of the field. He was 62. years of age. The jury
returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God.'
THE WINDSOR COUBTOIASTIAL.—The final decision li
has been given by the Horse Guards on the charge of
assault brought against Lieutenant Perry, who was tried
before Colonel the Hon James Lindsay, M.P. and a general
court-martial, at the Infantry Barracks Windsor, on the
12th, 13th, and 14th ult. The first court-martial found
Lieut. Perry guilty of the charge of assaulting Lieutenant
Greer, and sentenced him to be dismissed from the ser-
vice. The Judge-advocate-general, on carefully perusing
the evidence, found that certain questions had been put
which ought to have been rejected, and certain evidence
refused which ought to have been taken ; and the right
hon. gentleman recommended Her Majesty not to con-
firm the sentence. The sentence has therefore not been
confirmed, and Lieutenant Perry is consequently released
from the charge.
MURDER OP AR INFANT BY A NunsE-GIRL.—A nurse-
girl, only nine years of age, has been committed to War-
wick gaol, to take her trial for the wilful murder of a
baby, a few months old. Her mistress, the wife of a game-
keeper to Mr. Beech, of Brandon-lodge, had sent the girl
to fetch home a few knives and forks that had been lent
to some charcoal burners in Brandon-wood, and she took
the infant with her in her arms, received the knives and
forks, and set out on her return. A scream was heard by
the men in the wood, and, proceeding to the spot, they
found the baby with its throat cut in the arms of the girl.
Her story was, that a man came behind her and tied a
handkerchief over her eyes, and told her to leave him
the baby and the knives, or he would kill her. She told
the man that she durst not, and would rather that he
would kill her than the baby ; that the man then " trailed
• her a distance to a tree, and bade her stop there till he
told her to move, and presently the man called to her, and
she took the handkerchief from her eyes, and went to the
baby and it was breathing its last. On the ground over
which the girl said she was " trailed " the grass was un-
disturbed, as were the brambles, that must have shown
I-traces. One. of the knives appeared to have been
.NYiPed.2
but still bad marks of blood upon i the girl h
spots 9f blood upon her pinafore. Search was made at the
time for the man she spoke of, but no one was to be found.--
