TO THE ELECTORS II OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, As it appears likely that Parliament will now very Portly be dissolced, I think it right to state to you that 4 is my intention, whenever that event occurs-again to offer my services to you as one of your Represen- tives in the House of Commons. I much regret that 1 icas unable, owing to my absence from England during the last year, to do more than give one vote in *uPport of those given by my worthy Colleague, against the measures proposed by the Government of Sir R. Peel, in respect to the importation of corn, which I still feQ-r to be fraught with great danger, not only to the rtgricultural interest, but also in their consequences to tlte well being of the commercial body which was so eQ,ger for their adoption. I am sorry I shall be unable to visit many of you in person; but relying on the *uPporf I have received from you on so many former oc- conions, on account, as I believe, of the public principles r have acted upon, I trust I may look forward with con- fidence to the result of the coming Election, assuring YOU as I do that I shall continue to act upon those prin- ciples if I have again the, honor to be chosen by you 84 one of your Representatives. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and obliged servant, GEO. RICE TREVOR. ^^yoeTor Castle, July 15th, 1847. R,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, The indication of an early dissolution of the present rwliament is daily becoming manifest. I therefore *ider it my duty to address you, and to state that, en- to* %yed by the recollection of the cordial support that ePerienced on my coming forward to represent you Cotnpliance with the invitation I then received, it is y intention again to offer myself as a candidate for 4e 9ratifying distinction of being one of your members t)¡ the new Parliament. during the period that I have had the honor of a seat lTi the House of Commons, measures of vast importance Effecting great national interests, have been introduced, are becume the law of the land. The part that I tOok on these questions was regulated by a sincere desire adhere to the principles that obtained for me your e°nJidence, and to follow the course, ichich, to the best °f my judgment, appeared most conducive to the welfare Of the nation at large. Vfith regard to the jiittire-I am sensible that, in °°nsequencc of the present state of party in the country I incur a greatly increased degree of individual respon- 8ibility. Should I be so fortunate as to be again chosen V°ur representative in ??O'?QMMH?, I shall, in that erent, be directed by the motives I have already avowed, and steadily shall keep in view the landmarks of OUr constitution, which has, under the blessing of God, conferred many and signal benefits on this countl y Qftd people. These 1-)i, i ?ic i These principle8, with a vigilant attention to your local interests, and to measures calculated to improve 'Ile condition of our own country (to which I have not, ? hope, been hitherto ?f?C;e?'< in giving my humble "uPpot-t,) will be the rule of my future conduct, should Von think me again deserving of the important trust 10hich shortly must be surrendered to you. I hat-e the honor to be, Gentlemen, With great regard and esteem, Your faithful and obliged servant, D. SAUNDERS DA rIES. I Pentrel-July 16th, 1847.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF HAVERFORDWEST, NARBERTH, AND FISHGUARD. GENTLEMEN, 1 am informed by SIR RICHARD FIlILIPPS, that on the approaching Dissolution of Parliament, he rj not intend to seek a renewal of the trust you have £ o long reposed in him, but wishes to retire from the labours of the House of Commons. The great majority of your body is, I believe, firmly attached to liberal opinions, and at this conjuncture, I Jecl it to be my duty to offer you my services to represent those opinions in Parliament. I am led to take this step, by being told that you con- aider me capable of representing you worthily, and by the deep attachment wlticlt I feel to the place of my birth and the home of my early years. I seek then to serve you, as a strenuous supporter of Civil, Religious, and Commercial Liberty; and I shal Katch over with the strictest care, those great measures for securing freedom of thought and action, ichich the statesmen now in power, and those whose opinions they inherit, so long contended for under adverse cir- cumstances, and at last obtained by their firmness and Perseverance. Claiming for myself perfect independence, I shall be ° general supporter of the present Government. I am most anxious for the diffusion of Education, 6t¿t I cannot purchase even so great a good at the cost of making any sacrifice of the great principle of Re- l'gious Liberty. j If youjind that my opinions conform with your own and that you would wish to see them enforced in the Legislature by your Representative, I am ready to obey your call to that office, and to serve you honestly and independently. I remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful Servant, JOHN EVANS. South Wales Circuit, at Cardiff, July 8th, 1847.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF PEMBROKE. GENTLEMEN, The Dissolution of Parliament now about to take place, will restore to your hands the trust, which, six years ago you did me the honour to confide to me and the time is approaching when you will have to select a Representative.

Measures of the greatest importance affecting the Agricultural Interests have been discussed and disposed oj; in Parliament, during the period in which I have had the lwnour of a seat in the House of Commons and I trust that the votes which I gave on those questions, met with your approbation. The responsibility which must always attach to a due performance of the duties of a Representative, is not lessened by the present statø of jiolitieal affairs; but should I be again lwnoured with your confidence, it will be my earnest desire to support such measures as may bcst tend to promote our domestic prosperity, and to develope the resources of the Empire at large. In the hope that I have faithfully discharged my Parliamentary duties, I venture to appeal to youfor a continuauce of your support, and can assure you, that tlurc is no honour I value so highly, as having your public and loml iilterests confided to my care. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient faithful Servant, ?j/? r?. Stackpole Court, J?y 17th, ISH. EJIL 11-1?

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF SIR DAVID POLLOCK.-The death of Sir David Pollock is the chief event at Bombay. A very diseased state of the liver was the immediate cause of death. He suffered scarcely any bodily pain, was con- scious until the day preceding his dissolution, and ex- pired without a struggle.—Globe. CHINA. The French government has received a second telegraphic despatch, dated Malta, the 14th; accounts from Canton to the 23rd; and Hong Kong the 25th of May. No business is doing at Canton. Keying has been menaced by the mob that his palace should be burned if he granted the ground promised to the En- glish. Mr. Pope, who had been sent to inspect the ground, had abandoned his purpose. A fresh expedition against Canton was expected, which would be more sanguinary that the last. The Pluto was stationed abreast the factory. The Scout hae been ordered to approach as near Canton as possible. BELGIUM.—The condition of Belgium at this moment is a curiosity amongst the nations of the earth. Ever since this small country was erected into a kingdom it has gone on, from time to time, exhibiting strange ano- malies; but never anomaly so strange as it is exhibiting just now. Ever since Belgium had a king of its own, the said king has dealt with his people as if he was not quite sure whether he ought to do anything, or nothing; but never since he has been king, has he done anything so effectually as recently. The elections of the 8th of June established the fact, that a Catholic Ministry was im- possible, and the Catholic Ministry, accordingly, re- signed. The country, of course, looked to his Majesty for the immediate appointment of their successors. The eyes of Europe, to speak diplomatically, were fixed upon the King. Well-what did the King do ? Deeply im- pressed with the gravity of his position, his Majesty, four days after the resignation, took his departure for London-to arrange a new Cabinet ? No, to examine the question of—Portugal On his return to Brussels, everybody took it for granted that the Cabinet difficulty was ettled at last, and the newspapers even went so far as to speculate upon the members of the new Adminis- tration. But in the midst of these conjectural criti- cisms, his Majesty starts off for Paris, and leaves the country to shift for itself. It is said that his Majesty had some thoughts of abdicating, but that Louis Phi- lippe is wise in his generation and it does not require much sagacity to see that it is of course the interest of the Belgians alone he has at heart in the excellent advice he has given to his son-in-law. In the mean- while, it is to be regretted that King Leopold's faithful subjects have not the least notion when his Majesty in- tends to return although even when he does, it will not be of much avail, since he will no sooner be amongst them again than the next inquiry will be, when is he going to leave them ? His whole reign has consisted of a record of departures and returns, returns and depar- tures. And all this time Belgium is literally left without King, Cabinet, or Government. It is a kingdom put out to graze.-Atlas. FRIGHTFUL Loss OF LIFE IN A BELGIAN COAL- MINK.—BRUSSELS, JULY 19.—On the night of the 16th inst., a destructive fire broke out on the premises connected with the Marihaye Coal-works, near Seraing. It originated in the engine-room near the mouth of the pit, and rapidly spread, catching in its progress, and burning, the ladders and ropes which served for de- scending into the coal-pit, and thus cutting off for the time all means of escape for 1G4 workmen who were at work therein. The first signal of their danger was the appearance of dense columns of smoke which came down the mouth of the pit. The workmen immediately rushed to the ladders, but the foremost, after ascending them a short distance, were either suffocated and fell dead to the ground, dr killed by the falling of burning mateiials from the top to the shaft. The fire was, after great efforts, mastered, and a descent into the pit made, when a most frightful sight presented itself. The dead, the dying, and the wounded, lay all scattered about the place. Forty-one dead bodies were taken out of the pit, and thirty-one alive, but most of them badly wounded. Search was being made for the remainder. PRUSSIA.-—THE POLISH TRIALS.—-A letter from Berlin of the 17th says-" The preparations for turning the chapel of the Pennsylvanian Penitentiary into a court of justice, for the trial of the persons concerned in the Polish insurrection, are terminated. Five hundred places have been reserved for the public, and places have been set apart for the corps diplomatique, the great functionaries of state, and other distinguished persons. The number of the accused is between 250 and 260. They were formerly kept in secret conllnenicnt, but within the last few days they have been allowed to com- municate freely with each other, and with their legal advisers. The period for the commencement of the trial is not yet fixed, but it is believed that it will be Mon- day, the 2nd of Aug. On the first day all the accused will be present to hear the reading of the indictment, but immediately after they will be -divided into series, and tried separately. The trial, it is believed, will last three months. The government had at first decided that the public should be admitted by tickets, but the king said that that would be a restriction on publicity, and, accordingly, ordered that the doors should be thrown open, and as many persons allowed to enter as the place would contain. Two of the chiefs of the department of justice in Saxony have been ordered by their government to attend the trial, and to make a detailed report of it, the Saxon government having determined on having open courts of justice." A MOCK EXECUTION.—A strange spectacle was wit- nessed on the 9th at Arnhem, in Holland. A Catholic priest, named Gepkens, having been condemned to death for assassination, the King commuted the sentence into perpetual imprisonment and the application of the punishment called brandishing of the axe," which consists in making a prisoner undergo a pretended exe- cution. A scaffold was prepared exactly as for an exe- cution, and a coffin was on it, as if to receive the bloody and mangled remains of the condemned. At twelve o'clock in the day Gepkens was driven in a cart to the scaffold. His head and neck were bare, he wnre no coat, his hair was cut very close, and his hands were tied behind his back. Two priests were with him, giving hiru religious consolation, and two other carriages con- tained the officers of justice, and the executioner and his assistants, the latter carrying an axe. A strong' detachment of soldiers accompanied the cart, and another surrounded the scaffold. Gepkens ascended to his ap- pointed place with a tottering step. His eyes were then bandaged, and his head placed on the block. One of the assistant-executioners seized him by the hair, to keep his head in the right position, and two other assis- tants held him by the shoulders. The chief executioner then took the axe, flourished it in the air, and let it descend on the prisoner's neck, so as to make him feel the cold steel. The man who held his head afterwards released it; and, for about five minutes, the executioner continued to brandish the axe around the prisoner's head, so close that he could distinctly hear the whizzing. The emotion of Gepkens was so great that he fainted. When the ceremony was completed his hands were untied, and he was re-conveyed to prison in the cart. About 30,000 persons waited from daylight to witness this singular proceeding, the like of which had not occurred within the memory of man. Previous to the prisoner's arrival the crowd was \<?ry merry and bois- terous, and roared forth several songs but on the con- clusion of the mock execution, it dispersed in silence, and apparently feeling strong emotion.—-Galignanis Messenger.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AT NORTHAMPTON. -The annual exhibition and award of prizes of the Royal Agricultural Society of England was held last week at Northampton. The arrangements were even more complete than those of preceding years. The directors of the various railways had liuerally issued instructions to their officers at the various stations throughout the country to allow the live stock and im- plements intended for the show to be conveyed free of charge-a great boon to those whom these exhibitions are intended to encourage and benefit-viz., the poorer classes of exhibitors. The place of the exhibition for the implements was the race-course, and the tent occu- pied upward of a mile of ground, An immense space was also covered with a tent for the cattle-show. For the dinner, a spacious and tastefully dccorated pavilion was erected. The implements were extremely numerous. Several were tried on grounds selected for the purpose. The animals did not generally present the over-fed appearance usually so disgustingly prominent in cattle-shows. They were very numerous. Amongst the principal visitors and members at this meeting, were the Dukes of Cleveland and Buccleuch the Earls of Yarborough, Delawarr, Spencer, Harwickc, and Chichester the Count de Groncy Viscount Sidney Lords Walsingham, Bridport, Portman, Hill, South- ampton, Forester the Marquises of Exeter, and North- ampton; the Hon. H. Clive Sir John Johnston, M.P. Sir C. Lemon, M.P. Sir Harry Smith P. Pusey, Esq M.P. Col. Austen, Co!. Challenor, Col. Fitzioy Mr. Miles, M.I,. Col. T. Wood, M.P. the Dean of Westminster, &c. &c. DEATH OF THE O'CONOR DON—We have to an- nounce the decease of the Rijjht Honourable Dennis O'Conor, commonly called the O'Conor Don, one of her Majesty's Lords of Treasury. The deceased was born in 1794, so that he was in his fifty-third year. In 1834 he was married to Mary Ann, daughter of Major Bhke, since deceased. He has occupied his scat in the House of Commons, as representative of the county of Ros- common, since 1831. As a politician, the O'Conor Don was an ardent and consistent Liberal. The O'Conor Don was regarded as the chief of the ancient family of the O'Conor's, as his title indicated ODD COURTSHIP.-Since the passing of the Small Debts Act, the usual advice when a party complains of another owing him money is, Oh, court bim!— Cheltenham Journal.

SCENES IN THE GREENWICH COUNTY 1 COURT. Complaints have reached us fiora many quarters of the extraordinary irritability displayed by Mr. Chilton, the new Judge of the Greenwich County Court. We use the term irritability, because we hope that the strange scenes reported in the Kentish Mercury were the result of constitutional causes rather than of a permanent absence of those first requisites for a judicial office-patience and good temper. But the occurrences we are about to describe have justly excited so strong a feeling of indignation among the Profession in the District that we should be wanting in our duty if we did not take notice of it in hope than the learned Judge will be induced, by seeing how his conduct is lamented, to observe a more courteous bearing for the future. We cite from the journal above named. It will be seen that prior to the regular business of the day, an application was made to his Honour," that a case, in reference to which a jury had been sum- moned, should be heard first, in order that the gentlemen in attendance on it might be allowed to return to their respective homes and callings. No request could be more reasonable, but it was thus met- Bishop, the clerk, informed the judge that a jury were empanelled and were in attendance. The JUDGE.—Oh, very well. bishop. Perhaps your Honour will take the case first, to relieve the gentlemen. The JUDGE.—I shall not d.t!fo. Mr. Armitage here rose, and was about making an ob- servation. The JUDGE.—Well, what do you want; what are you ? Mr. Armitage.—My name is Armitage, and I am sum- moned to attend this day but I prcwijime I am not com- pelled to attend any other day. The Jur>GF--—Don't you presume tlnv thing of the kind, sir I tell you I am master here, and shall order you to stop as long as I think proper. Bear that in mind. Mr. Ariiiit.age.-But- The JUDGE.—Sit down sir I will not hear any more. That was snap the first-and a bull-dog could not have done it better. In one of the cases, Mr. Sandon appeared for the plaintiff, and fancying he had a right to put a particular question to one of the witnesses, proceeded to take that freedom, when his Honour" felt that the time was come to let you legal men know who I am," and thus wound up the examination. Sandon.-I consider I have a right to cross-examine a witness. The JUDGE.—\ou have no right, if I say so, sir, and I will not permit it. Sandon.—I must submit, of course, to your Honour. The JUDGE.—Hold your tongue, sir, and sit down. andon,- V ery well. I made a public observation. The JUDGE.—I tell you what, if you professional men will not do as I wish, you shall not appear here. Sandon.—It is very painful for The JUDGE.—Now, sir, if you do not be quiet, I shall order you to leave the court. You understand that, sir. Mr. Taylor, the next object of unwarrantable attack, appears to be young in age and law; and the Judge was not slow in taking advantage of his innocent infirmities. Mr. Bristow, from his standing in the profession, might have expected to meet with more courtesy at his Honour's hands but he is no respecter of persons, and was probably touched upon a sore place when that gen- tleman informed him the district surveyor, Mr. Martyn, was present, and would explain some point in the Build- ing Act; and so poor Mr. Bristow, as well as the others, got snubbed after the following fashion :— The JUDGE.—Oh, don t tell me that; I am not going to receive the law from a district surveyor, I am the best judge of that. Bristow rose to explain. The JUDGE.—Will you sit down, sir, I am not going to hear you again. Bristow.—Of course but I would submit to your Honour- The JUDGE.—Hold your tongue, sir, and sit down. It was scarcely necessary for our reporter to append a note that after this case Mr. Bristow left the court, and although holding many briefs, did not afterwards appear. With strict dramatic propriety the closing scene of the piece brought the principal performer icto fuller action. Enter Mr. Barwis. Barwis denied that an assignment had ever been made, and he should call witnesses to prove that fact. The JUDGE.—Well, sir, go on either state your case or call witnesses. Barwis.—I am doing so. The JUDGE.—You are not, sir. Bands.—I submit that I am doing my duty. The JUDGE. —I think you ought to know what I will do, if you answer me and do not act according to my wishes. I have great power in this court, and an easy remedy if my wishes are not followed. Bancis.-Of course, your Ilouuur rules in this court. The case was eventually disposed of contrary to the interests of Mr. Barwis's client, and the following dialogue and action etistifd. Barwi,v.-I am not satisfied with the decision, and shall try the question in a superior court. The JUDGE.—That is an improper'observation, and I will not allow it. Barwis.—I shall certainly try it. The JUDGE. If you speak again, sir, I slull order you to leave the court. B(i,iris.-I shall stand by what I say. I have a duty to perform for my clients, and I shall endeavour to do so in spite of my being committed. The JUDGE.—I shall not allow you to appear any more this day. Bai-?cis.-V, cry well, sir, that will be seen. The JUDGE (to the of,icers).-Itemove that man from the court, and do not allow him to enter again this day. Barwis.—1 shall not leave unless I am taken into custody. The JUDGE.—Take that man out. Barwis was then taken into custody by Roscoe, the officer of the court, and removed. Shortly after, Roscoe came into court, and said Mr. Barwis demanded admission as an attorney- J The JUDGE.—Let him come ill and ask permission. Barwis then came into court, and said he was engaged in a case row called on. The JUDGE.—You wish my permission to appear Ul that case ? Barwis.—I do. The JUDGE.- YOU have my permission. We have omitted the language of indignant comment in which our contemporary indulges, as our purpose here is simply, on behaif of the Profession, to prefer a serious complaint, with the hope that no further notice of it will be requisite to insure the immediate correction of the unfortunate demeanour that has compelled this painful but necessary duty, Law Times.

ROBING THE SAXON MINISTER OF THREE THOU- SAND DOLLARS.—On Saturday information was re- ceived by the police that the Baron Beust, the Saxon Minister, of Wilton-crescent, Belgrave-square, had been plundered of the above amount by a person named Ernest Ramsham, who is supposed to be now trying to get out to America. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR OSBOflNE.-Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess Alice, and the lords, ladies, and gentlemen of the Royal suite, left the Nine-Elms terminus of the South-Western Railway on Saturday at half-past 9, for Osborne, Isle of ight. On arriving at Gosport, the nava l Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Osle. the Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, Major-General Lord Frederic Fitzclarence, G.C.Il. Rear-Admiral Hyde Park, C.B., Captain Sir Edward Parry. Major Harvey, A.D.C.. Flag-Lieutenant Cochrane, RX., Mr. Cornelius Stovin. general manager Mr. R. W. Stevens and other chief oiiicers of the South- Western Railway Company, and a guaid of honour, received the Royal party, who were embarked in the state barge, and steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, R.N., to the Fairy, which left immediately for Osborne, receiving the salutes and cheers of the ships and crews in baroour and at Spithead on passing-the latter also manned their bulwarks, and added to the brilliant dis- play by feux de jois; all heing magnificently decorated with flags and ensigns, the St. Vincent, flag-ship of Sir Charles Napier, especially. The Royal party disem- barked at Osborne pier *t 5 minutes to 1 o'clock under the usual loyal displays from the Royal yacht squadrons and batteries. The peiiod fixed upon fur Her Majesty's naval trip is the 10th of August. A SINGLE COMBAT AT WATERLOO. —A powerful High- lander, Lieut enant John Stuart, made himself conspi- cuous by a hand-to-hand encounter, which, had he been less active and resolute, must have proved his last. During one of those lulls which occur in all general actions, Stuart and his men lay, in skirmishing order, behind a hedge. About sixty or a hundred yards in front of them linin'" in like manner a ditch or hollow, a body of French tirailleurs had taken post, and each party continued for a while to watch without molesting the other. At last a French officer rose out of his own ditch, and cither because he really desired to encourage his men, or for the mere purpose of bravado, advanced some space in their front, waving his sword It would have been easy enough to pick him off, for theRifles need- ed no instruction as marksmen in those days: but Stuart would not permit thft; on the contrary, his orders were, "Men, keep quiet!" while he hllllself spnmg through the hedge, and ran to meet the French ofifcer. The lat- ter did not shun the duel. He, too, was a tall and active-looking man, and in his rapier he had a decided advantage over Stuart, who was armed with the very crooked sabre which it was the fashion in those days for oiffcers of the Itifle corps to carry. The combatants met, and so badly tempered was Stuart's weapon, that, at the first pass, it broke off, not far from the hilt. The French- man saw his advantage, and prepared to use it. He flourished his sword, as if in defiance, and made a lunge at his adversary's body, which, however, the Highlander received in his left arm, and before a second thrust could be administered, the two men closed. It was then the struggle of a moment and no more, Stuart bore his I enemy to the earth, and with the broken piece of his ) sabre s lew him. — Glen/'s Battle of Waterloo.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. We understand that the Government have proposed to the Court of Directors the Earl of Dalhousie as Governor-General of India, and Sir Henry Pottinger as Governor of Madras. — Times. The remains of the late Mr. Daniel O'Connell arrived at Southampton at 3 a.m., on Sunday in the South Western Company's steam-packet Eclipse from Havre, performing her voyage in less than seven hours and a-quarter. Mr. J. O'Connell accompanied the remains, which proceeded to London by train en route for Dublin. The personal property of the late Mr. O'Connell has been sworn under £ 25,000. He has left £ 1000 to Mr. Ray, secretary to the Repeal Association. The sale of Shakspeare's house, at Stratford-on-Avon, is fixed for Thursday, the 16th of September. The sums granted by parliament for the encourage- ment of Irish fisheries in 1846, amounted to F-50,000, and for British fisheries to 9 11,000. Measures are being taken in London to raise a sub- scription for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of the patriot Lord Russell, on the spot in Lincoln's Inn-fields where he was beheaded, on the 21st of July, 1683. It has been estimated that the contents of the Lon- don sewers annually thrown into the Thames would, at the selling value of manure, be worth upwards of £ 1,000,000. BurritCs Christian Citizen states that Mr. Frederick Douglass has given up the prospect of publishing an anti-slavery paper in America. A schoolmaster in Ohio advertises that he will keep a Sunday school twice-a-week—Tuesdays and Saturdays. The Mcdway steamer, just arrived from the West Indies, has brought over no fewer than four millions of cigars It has been decided at Constance, by 65 votes against 29, that the right of citizenship, with all the privileges attached to it, shall be conceded to the Jews. Scores of bills for the construction of public works are passed, says the Times, without the legislature being conscious of what they are doing, while very few if any of them consist of less than five hundred sections, with four interpretation clauses. The Odd Fellows of Leeds, says the Manchester Courier, lately announcing a grand gala, intimated that one of the attractions would be a stage fitted up in imitation of the garden of Eden, and tableaux vivans descriptive of Adam and Eve in Paradise.—How about appropriate costume ? At three o'clock on Thursday the Queen held a court and privy council at Buckingham-palace. Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. George William Frederick Howard, commonly called Viscount Morpeth, to be Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, his lordship took the customary oaths. The Queen's speech on closing the session of parliament was arranged and agreed upon. The ship Palladium, laden with fitch-oil, turpentine, &c., took fire at sea on the 4th May, on her passage to the Island of Bourbon, and was entirely destroyed. The crew and passengers were ten days in open boats, and suffered great hardships, but were all saved. The loss of property is estimated at £ 16,000. On Friday morning, about ten o'clock, Captain Thomas Calder, of the Royal Navy, who resided in the parish of St. Lawrence, blew out his brains with a pistol. An inquest was held on his body in the evening, and a verdict returned, Died by his own hand, whilst in a state of temporary deraiigc-iiient.Giteriisey Star. During the action which was lately fought between the French and the Cochin Chinese, the former captured several boats wholly built of copper. The personal effects of the late Dr. Shirley, Bishop of Sodor and Man, have been estimated for probate duty as not exceeding L800 within the province of Canterbury. Forged jE-5 Bank of England notes, of excellent work- manship, are now in circulation. A lettuce, weighing 61b., and measuring 3ft. lOin. in circumference, was lately cut in a garden at Heavitrce, in Devonshire. Three Pachas have put down their names as honorary members of the Mechanics' Institution, recently estab- lished at Constantinople. An American paper states that a man was lately sentenced to be imprisoned at Springfield, in Massa- chusetts, for stealing a watch from a store, and that, sixt.een years ago, the same man was sent to prison for stealing the same watch, from the same nail, in the same store, and belonging to the same man. There are 240 nominations for the Derby, and 173 for the Oaks of '49. A New York paper asserts that several persons have become idiots by habitually using hair-dye, which has penetrated the minute capillary tubes, and has produced such an effect on their brains as to superinduce idiotcy. A Chancery Suitor," an impoverished man, states, in the Times, that his case, after ten years' delay, was to be heard on a particular day, but was removed from the list to suit the convenience of a barrister who wished to go electioneering. At Winchester assizes, Miss Harvey, aged 30, a mil- liner and dressmaker, who had come all the way from Montreal to Ireland, to be married to Mr. Johnstone, a. surgpon in the navy, at his most urgent request, sued' the faithless swain for a breach of promise, and obtained a verdict for f403 damages. An electric telegraph has been fixed in the House of Commons for the purpose of transmitting communica- tions between the lobby and the committee rooms. Members attending committees are thus enabled to learll instantaneously who is speaking in the house, and the time at which a division may be expected. An attempt, which we hope will prove successful, is being made to procure a modification in the expenses of carrying out the patent laws. The present cost of letters patent for the United Kingdom approaches JC400, and it is thought the general election ought not to be allowed to pass without an endeavour to obtain a pledge on the subject from the different candidates. Much alarm was excited on Monday week, at Darley, by the appearance of an extraordinary monster, striped and spotted like a leopard or pallther; and several men, armed with swords, pitchforks, and old muskets, assem- bled to attack it. It was discovered, however, that the monster was a painted pig, turned loose by some wag to hoax his neighbours. It is calculated that the Liberal party will obtain an accession of no less than 80 seats in the coming elec- tions—an increase that will give to the government of Lord John Russell a good working majority in the new Parliamcnt.-Obserrer. The Prcsse states that new wheat has appeared in the markets of the south of France. The cost of the fortifications of Paris, up to' the pre- sent period has been about £ 5,600.000 sterling. They are not yet completed, and will be of no use, except against the citizens, when they are. The Earl of Clare has given to the distressed labour- ers, near Mountshannon, a suit of clothes each and, from his seat, the poor are three times each week liberally supplied with soup. The first stone of a new church, to contain 1000 sit- tings, all free built and endowed by Miss Burdett Coutts, was laid last week by the lady herself, the Lord Bishop of London officiating. The United States frigate Macedonian arrived at Cove on Friday, manned and provisioned for the dis- tressed Irish, at the sole expense of Commodore de Kay, who commands her, Tbe'cargo is valued at £ 4000. hile two English architects were viewing the palace of the Kin of Naples, they were shown a carpet upon which the King's arms were worked in worsted; and as they neglected to take off their bats as a mark of re- spect to the emblems of royalty, they were immediately seized by the Swiss sentinels, who confined them several days in the cells attached to the guard-house. THE NEW PA R LIA',IENT *-The new parliament will rest on a broader base than a fabric of faction and a I pockelfull of pledges. Never were constituencies more free to act than they are now, and more spared by offi- cious dictation. So much the graver is the responsibility of those who are now summoned to make the leading house of parliament. The fate of the country is in their hands, to send whom they will. There is no supreme party, no all-powerful statesman warranted to save the nation, or, at all events, to assure one particular class from the geneial reverse. There is no longer the banner of reform, and the phalanx of conservatism. Registration courts are no longer the scen» of angry reprisals. Class interests, those antiqme t:esfi.7io frou- I dis, that survive rotten boroughs, if still in some furee. are at least in increasing contempt. Nnw, if cier, is the time for the people of England to show the world they can govern themselves, and that the reform bill has not added-^o the difficulty of sound anil efficient legislation.— Times (of Friday). Pi.EDGES.—We need scarcely observe that as the ex- torting of a pledge is (on the part of the elector) a wrong to the community at large, so the giving of one includes the giver in the guilt. A mpmtwr of the House of Commons who enters it avowedly pledging to vote aye" or no," notwithstanding all that may be said by his compeers, under any possible circumstances, very plainly does that which is wholly irreconcilable alike to the duties of his position—to the respect he | owes to the assembly of which fie has the honour of being a niember-arid to his own dignity.— Clohe,.
