REQUESTS.-011 Saturday Mr. Hutcheson, the late candidate for the representation of the borough of the Tower Hamlets, was summoned before the Commissioners of the above Court by Mr. G.  Bagley, for 3/. 10s., the amount due to him for saves days canvassing the electors prior to the election. It appeared the claimant had made several applications for the amount at the office of Mr. Hutcheson without success, and that Mr. Bishop, the agent of Mr. Hutcheson ultimately refused to recognise or pay the demand. The claimant produced Mr. J. J. Kelly, landlord of :the Ship and Black Horse, High-street, Shadwell, Who proved the hiring of the complainant, and who positively stated that he had the authority of Mr. Hutcheson and Mr. Stephens, the chairman of his central committee, to employ such persons as he thought wero well acquainted with the neighbourhood and localities of St. Paul's, Shadwell, St. John, Wapping, and St. George-in-the-East, and that he consequently hired Mr. Bagley, considering him to be an active man as a canvasser. Mr. Kelly produced documents which completely. satisfied the Commissioners that the claimant was entitled to the amount claimed, and signed an order accordingly for immediate payment. Other decisions of a similar description had been tried during the week in the same Court, and it is said that Mr. Hutcheson has already paid upwards of 8,000/. for the honour of being a candidate, and without the honour of a seat in Parliament. Mr. Calcraft has, at an expense exceeding 2,0001., engaged Grisi, Lablache, Mario, &c., for the production of Italian Operas, which will commence at Hawkins'-street Theatre on the 30th August.—Cork Southern Reporter. During the last few days considerable interest has been attached to a discovery recently made, and which is supposed to be the produce or concealment of some murder committed many years ago. The facts of the discovery after most particular inquiries,, have been found to be as follows :—One of the children of Mr. Gardener, of No. 1, Prince's-place, North-place, Westsquare, Lambeth, was playing with a silver spoon in the passage of the house, when by some means she forced it through the crevice of the boards. Another child who had witnessed what had taken place, and who thought that the spoon could be got back, took up one of the planks in the passage, and in feeling about on the part beneath, his hand was much hurt by a nail, to which something was attached, and which was found to be the chain of a curiously embossed watch of about the time of Charles I. or 11. There were also seals attached to the chain, which were very much corroded. The watch was one of those small and globular pieces of workmanship at the present day out of the market. The dial as well as the glass was broken, and it had all the appearance of having been in the place where it was found for a very long time. Upon examining the works, the name of " liklward Pamer, London, 9,161," was found in very distinct characters, and they appeared of snore modern date than the case. The finding of the watch under such singular circumstances was followed up, by further search, and near the same spot a loaded pistol was taken out, but it fell to pieces soon after exposure to the air.. Perhaps the name of the maker of the watch may lead to a clue to this mysterious affair.
