VIRGINIA ELECTION.

We congratulate our readers on the aspect of
returns of the Virginia election. The wings
themselves appear to give up the state. The
National lnieligencer Of Saturday, speaks OF
imperfect returns, and those not particularly IA
vorable to the whig cause.
In the First Congressional District, lIollc-
man, the democratic candidate, has beaten
Mallory, the present member.
FIFTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRICT.-
Returns have been received from only ionl
counties in this district, but the whig vote falls
so far short Of the previous estimates that there
is little doubt ofthe election ofLucas the dem
ocratic candidate, over Barton, the wing. Mr.
Mason, conservative, was the member in the
last Congress.
FOURTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DIsTmcT.-
Mason, the democratic candidate, has received
majority of ight over Mercer in Fairfax coun-
ty, and a majority of7O in Fauquier. In Prince
William the democratic ticket had its usual
majority.
NTuIRTEENru CoSanrss,osAL DIsrmcr.-
Banks is undoubtedly reelected to Congress
In Spottsylvania county and fredericksburg
precinct he had gain Of 63 over his majority
the previous year.
TENTH CoNGREssI9NAL DIsrRIcT.-The
polls were not closed on Thursday in the CITY
of Richmond and in the county on account OF
the storm, but there is no doubt of the election
of Bolts, the whig candidate.
Francis +. Riyes and John w. Jones, dem
elected
Dromgoole is reelected TO Congress, proba-
bly, by majority Of three or four hundred.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The Court Of Common Pleas for this Coun-
ty, closed its May session in this town on Sat
urday morning last at II O'Clock.
As the Court was not fully organized until
Thursday morning Of last week at II O'Clock,
and had but one jury, their despatch Of busl-
ness will be considered very great, when it is
known, that in that time there were one hun
dred and seventy light cases disposed of, inclu-
ding eight Jury trials and two Indictments.
Before the adjournment Of the Court, His
Honor, Chief Justice Joslen, in a short, neat
Speech in the name Of the Court, paid hand
some compliment to the gentlemen Of the Bar,
for their attention, PromPttude and Preparotion,
which had so greatly facilitated the progress Of
business both before the Court and Jury.
We notice this last fact, as being most extra
ordinary: it being the only instance ofthe kind
that has ever come TO our knowledge, and we
consider it equally credltablc to the Court and
Bar both.

1nother Outrage. The schooner Weeks;
of Oswego, was seized and dsmantled on
Friday last by the Canadian authorities ut
Brockville. The Weeks cleared from this
port on Wednesday or Thursday last, with
merchandise for Brockvile, Ogdensburgh;
and other ports on the St. Lawrence-aHd
was seized Immediately after discharging
her freight and procuring her clearance mt
Brockvillc, under pretext, it is said, of her
having OH board one piece of State orji-
nance for n company of State artillery Mt
Oedensburgh. Under these circumstances,
the simple freishling ofa gun from one A!
merican port TO anoher, furnishes in our
humble Judgment, no legal Justification for
the seizure of the schooner.
As soon as the fact Of her seizure was
known at Sackeu's Harbor on Saturday,
Col, Worth left Immediately in the Govern
ment Steamer Oneida, for Brockville, with
n detachment OF U. 5. troops on board
The result of his visit is not yet known at
this place. We learn, however, by the
steamer Hamilton, which came in last eve-
ming from Kingston, that Col. Young, the
commanding officer at Brockville, had de-
manded the surrender of the vessel TO her
owners, and that the militia who had pos
session, refused to give her up. Aid was
consequently requested from Kingston, and
two companies of SID were despatched yes
terday morning for Brockville by steamboat:
Osrego Commercial Herald.
The same paper adds the following in
postcript:-
Since our paper was made up, the stea-
mer United States has arrived from below
with intelligence tba, the schooner Weeks
has been surrendered to her officers upon
the formal demand of Col. Worth, after the
arrival of the troops from Kingston at
Brockville.
A letter received yesterday in this city
from the owner of the schooner, published
in the Commercial Advertiser of last eve
ming, says that the mob, after parading the
cannon through the streets, ransacked the
lading Of the vessel starting" the casks
of liquor on her deck, breaking open and
pillaying boxes of fruit, and committing
other acts of violence. After m order for
the restoration Of the cannoa had been OBJ
tanned by Col. Worth, portion of the mob

surrender, and very abusive towards the Of

The following sketch of Lady Lytton
Bulwer, the au,ho.ess of Cheveley is from
the Corsair, one of the editors of which is
said to be the person intended in IN unsuc-

Miss Wheeler, (alas Julia Neville, alias
Lady Lytton Bulwer,) was the daughter of
most worthy aud respectable widow, liv-
ing some three years ago in Park News,
small lane running in the rear of Seymour
Place, May Fair. Mrs. Wheeler was early
left widow, with one daughter, pale,
handsome, slender girl, who chanced to at
tract the attention Of Edward Bulaer, then
fresh from college. The atachmen, was n
romantic one, and soon discovered, and
strenuously opposed by Mr.. Bulwer's moth

story Of their meeting "to drink tea" with
a sympathising lady, who occupied a
/" three pair of stairs back" in Fleet Street,
and who ultimately succeeded in marrying
two persons, who were neither, ms she
thought, "long for this world" To her
great surprise, Miss Wheeler has since
turned out TO be among tile fat,est OF wo-
men. and Mr.. BuIwer The most Immortal oi
men. The uristocra,ic mother was soon
reconciled to the match, but rs the novel
shows, the daughter-in-lsw continued To

the family, her husband included. Bulwer

an insult upon the town Of Newport as to send

From the N. Y Gazette.
The testimony Of Gouraud, entities him to
nothing but contempt. His whole evidence, Civ

silly libel on the people and the institutions oi

very low and degraded one, is proved by the

That he is an ass he has taken care to make

The prosecution must fail on that

have their ships licensed and enrolled ac-
