One OF the most prominent topics OF the day
is the result of the contest for Birmingham. II
has terminated in the return Of Mr.. Spooner, tlic
Conservative. There Were three Candidates
the gentleman we have named Mr.. Schoiefied,
the son of the late member; and Mr.. Joseph
Surge, the celebrated anti-Slavcry and Chartst
advocate. From the moment 1t was announced
tnat Mr.. Joseph Surge had resolved to stand the
issue OF am appeal to the polling booths, little
doubt existed that the division thus created ia the
Liberal ranks would let in the Conservative.

Trials was commenced before the House OF Lords
on the 4th of July, and progressed in from day 10
day Until the 10Th, when the Lord Chancellor an
nounced that certain questions would be pro.
pounded to the Judges, and the further proceed.

course Of the hearing, the Lord Chancellor ad-
mtted that the Jury lists were traudulentiy
made up, and the opinion seems to be that the
counsel for the prisoners have made out so strong
case that the judgement will be reversed, but i,
appears that O'Connell has no hopes that the ap.
peal will be successful.
O'Connell continues in the enjoyment Of good
health in his prison, and through his son has an
nounced his great satisfaction at the pe;iceable
demeanor of the people, cxhorting them TO per.

made by Mr. Henry Grattan, NJ. p, and others.
