AILROAD. —Geinge Chessure, a navvy on the line, has been lodging at the house of William Hain, labourer, of the parish of Wiusham, the last fortnight. It appears that Ham left his home on Friday morning week, to go to his work as usual at Greenhatn, and on his return in the evening to his home and family, to his great surprise his faithless wife, Harriet Ham had gone off with the navvy, George Chwisure, carrying away the poor fellow's hard savings of .C 4 10s., handes some articles of clothing. FitoNc.—The Elertion.-sth April—The town has been all alive to-day. Early in the morning large bills were posted over the town stating that Lord Edward Thynne and donald Nicoll intended contesting the borough, and that they would shortly issue addresses. Lord Edward arrived by an early train and has canvassed nearly the whole of the electors, and a committee meeting is to be held to night at the Crown. Lord Cork does not intended bringing forward anyone, and the solicitors who were engaged at the last electicn for the Whigs, are retaine4l for Lord Edward, Messrs. Miller, Crutwell, Nit:miter. and Dunne. Mr. Hawke', who was for Mr. Nicoll last time, has not yet received • retainer from him. It all depends upon the success of Lord Edward whether the Whigs support him.  CH Am). Dome,. - (Before C. IV. Loveridge, and J. C.
