There is a rumour in Exeter that Sir W. Follett
and the Chamber of Exeter have had a split. Sir William is reported to have refused to °tiptoe Corporation Reform when a- ked to du so. The Tories, it is %veil known, have thrown the old corporaturs overboasd.— !listen( Some of the I'liende a»d admirers of Peter forth wick, 3Tember
for Leeshmen, gave that gentleman a dinner, in Evesham, on the -1th instaut. It would perhaps have been better, had they been contented
with the eimory ch0-ell one ne,piired in the Iri,11 church debate in the IlimiNe tit' Commons, When be was most resehitely shouted down by the ;limbers, who would not hear him ; for 'ii r, Borthwimafe op• ionents in the borough have thrown in his teeth some transactions in load, he wes when it bookseller some years ago at Dal- keith, and his expulsion from the (-hovel' of that place. It is true that, when on the husticas at the 1: 1st election, Mr. Borthwiels denied having ever been a boohseller, anti produeed a document which he said was signed Iry the clereyeem and seventy other individuals of I fall:math, in favonr of his eh-doctor. Ent the clergyman has written a letter deny- ing tiro: he ever sigoeml time testimonial in question ; and a Mr. formerly of Glaseow, and now it bookseller at Bath, offered to go to the (limier and identilY Borthwick us the I ■alkeith bookseller; but he was refitted edmiesium However, it appears that he inanoged to es t a full view of the Alember fir Evesleon, as he left the dinino- room ; and the in ea day inzalo en affidavit as to Ids identity with that of the Peter liortioviek, who in lateli wes acting partner in the m. hop of J. awl P. mirtiiivi.It, boeksellers and stationers of Dalitmeith. So much for the h..te in:a:sled to laesee the Tory Alember for Eveeham.
A free it good deal or demur. Sir Prederis Roe's court or inquiry at Wolverhampton has loom opened to the puldic tuid the reporters. This publicity wes tone:sled by 1.ord dohn Russell, to the corneet rep:e- a:on:aloes sr 'Air. IZocre and other friends of the townepeople. The elide:we hitherto giveo I u been limcr the most part on the side of the Akeietrates ; whose sviteesses represent the eunduct of the popular/Li as very dioirtlerly, thole:1m no instance It serious personal violence 11;1: been ;airlifted against them. The conduct of the Militaiy is of course applauded by the suite parties, though they let out facts occasionally which do net substantiate this view of the case, one of them, for instance, says_ " I saw a soldier fire at a hlank wall down an entry in Lichfield Street. It WU not dark ; there was no one then down the entry; and the soldier Cried out tO Stool clear at that corner, fir lie should tire."
Another says, that a soldier made a cut at a (10oncren where the witness was standing, with such violence as to break a piece out of the shutter.
