"SIR—Having received a requisition numerously signed by the electors of Wey- mouth, inviting me to offer myself a candidate to fill the seat vacated by Major Weyland, and having also seen a copy of the arrangement entered into at the late election, I concur therein, and engage to hold the seat at Weymouth until such time as you may require me to vacate for you. 1 have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, C. BARING WALL." Will the House swallow this ? We shall, no doubt, have Mr. Wall telling the House on the question of Weymouth, that he is much more independent than the members for London. The Post describes his election as a proof that the delusion respecting the Bill is passing away ! —Oh ! oh ! oh ! THE CATO OF TIM BOROUGHMEN.—We have heard something of this Mr. Knight, and the accident which made him turn his voice against Re- form. We do not mean to say that he has veered about as frequently as the Lord Chief Baron ; but merely that he is not a Catm'and that it was almost a toss-up whether he would commence his Parliamentary career by expressing loud detestation of the Ministry, or loud detestation of the Opposition. However, the Opposition were first in the field, and secretions irritating the stomach and bowels, he has given large draughts PAOANINI AT CHELTENIIAM.—" It appears," says a letter from Chel- of warm diluting drink, such as water heated, tea, barley-water, oat- tenham, "that Paganini had agreed to perform at the theatre for two-

meal gruel, or any thing which dilutes the acrid contents, and causes their thirds of the receipts ; but finding that the house was not half full, in more complete and easy expulsion. He then covers the body with flan- consequence of the prices being doubled, and the ball at the Rotunda, he nel occasionally made warm. To lessen the irritability of the stomach refused to play unless he received 200 guineas beforehand. To this pro-

At Petersburg, the disease rages with unabated violence, as will be receipts of the house being very little more than would defray its regular seen from the following statement— expenses. We believe this is the only instance as yet upon record of Paganini's playing to empty benches, and himself unpaid."

SHARP PRACTICE.—On Arednesday last week, the rector of Stoke Damerel summoned a shipwright named Rundle, belonging to his Ma- jesty's dock-yard at Devonport, before the petty sessions of that town, to pay the sum of fourpence, claimed by him as Easter dues for himself and wife !

THE RICK-BURNERS.—The whole expense to the county of Hants, arising from damage during the disturbances of the last winter, and the charges of the Special Commission, is very little short of 10,0001. [Does this include Mr. Bingham Baring's fifty pounds ?] EMIGRATION.—The Mary Ann of Stornaway, which sailed lately for Cape Breton from Tobermory with passengers, after being driven back, sailed on the I lth instant from Lewis. In the Moray Frith, emigration still continues. Sunday the Industry, Carr, sailedsfrom dromarty for Pictou and Quebec, with 167 passengers.

Amongst the last arrivals at Quebec, of vessels from Ireland, with emigrants, we find the following :—Fisher, from Belfast ; Eleanor,

Sligo ; Speculation, Sligo; George elfast ; Chilies, Dub- lin ; Chance, Belfast; Wilkinson,'

ast ; frown, Westport ; Sally, Dublin ; Tilney, Limerick ; Andrew Nugent. Sligo ; Iphigenia, Dublin ; Kent, Derry ; Dorothy, Derry ; Thomas Gelstone, Belfast ; Huntly, Derry ; Lady Stewart, Dublin ; Sophia, Derry ; and Lady Digby, Sligo. Total num- ber of emigrants up to the 14th June, 25,272.

The number of families which has emigrated to America this season from Carlisle and the neighbourhood is truly astonishing. During the last month, upwards of sixty individuals have gone from Botchergate and Warwick Bridge. An agency has been established in this city for some time, by which intending emigrants can now arrange every thing necessary for their departure, and be put in possession of that informa- tion here which could formerly be got only at the port of embarkation ; and hence many, no doubt, have been led to emigrate, who, probably, under other circumstances, would not have thought of it.—Carliste Journal.

THE GLASGOW COACH Roanety.—The notes were concealed under the pavement of a stable, and to prevent the rats from destroying them arsenic had been scattered about the place. Notwithstanding this, how- ever, a good many were destroyed. Brown restored somewhere about 1,100!., which were concealed hard rammed into a gun-barrel. Of the whole sum stolen, 5,7121., there is now recovered, destroyed, or other- wise accounted for, upwards of 5,4001.—Glasgow Courier. MARCH or ExcITEMENT.—In Italy two hours, in France twenty-four hours, in England forty-eight hours, and In Belgium four days, are ne- cessary to rouse the feelings of the people.— Times. CAUSE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S DISLIKE Or THE PRESS.—Never was Luther wiser than when he threw the inkstand at the Devil's head ! For the Devil dreads nothing but ink, and be takes himself to his heels as soon as he noses it —Borne. Pnivn.nor..—Parliament men are as great princes as any in the world, when whatever they pleaie is privilege of Parliament : no man must know the number of their privileges, and whatsoever they -dislike is breach of privilege. The Parliamentary party, if the law be for them, call for the law if it be against them, they will go to a Parliamentary way. If the law be for them, then for the law again. Like him that obtained the favours of the honourable and learned gentleman. There is a well-known fable of the as braying under the lion's skin so admi- rably as to extort a confession from the lion, that even be would have been afraid, had lie not known that the sound proceeded from an ass. The lofty declarations of the honourable and learnedgentleman might Have produced an effect where his value was not so well understood as it is here. We do not mean to say that we know the exact price paid for this Cato ; nor do we mean to say that the Opposition have a bad bar- gain of him. When he attains to a little more temper, he will be a va- luable auxiliary to Sir Charles Wetherell. But we should be sorry if any very energetic attempt were made to conquer his disgust to the Ministry. We fear, if hard pressed, he might succumb ; and we had rather see him boasting of his conscience, and continuing to express detestation of the Ministry.—Morning Chronicle. CASHEL REPRESENTATION.—The new member for this borough is Mr. Pusey, the ex-nominee of Mr. Neeld. He tried Rye with Colonel Evans, but the Doctor was fain to cut him as Mr. Neeld had done be- fore. The Irish boroughs are a refuge of ;he destitute, to which those whom nobody else will tale., in, naturally have recourse.

SMALL TITHES or NOMINATION BOROUGHS.—The .following arch- bishopricks and bishopricks have been occupied by the family of the Beresfords within the last twenty years : archbishopriek of Tnam ; arch- bishoprick of Dublin ; archbishoprick of Armagh ; bishoprick of Kilmore; bishoprick of Cork ; bishoprick of Raphoe ; bishoprick of Meier. There is not a trace of the name of Beresford in any literary department ; but there is a trace of them in the boroughs of Armegh, Berwick, and Coleraine.—Times.

ALL IN TILE FAMAX.—The Archbishop of Dublin has presented to his youngest son, the Rev. William Map..,ee, the valuable living, of Swords, void by the death of the Rev. Mr. Welsh.

OWNERS NITaxTe».—The Clerkship of the Errors, and the Comp- trollership of Judges' Fees in the King's Bench, are vacant by the death of Mr. R. Smith.

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF GREENWICH DOSPITAL.—This situation is vacant by the death of Captain Browell.

THE Navx.—The Isis, 50, one of the finest square-sterned frigates in the British navy, is ordered to be fitted for sea forthwith. The Dart- mouth, 46, is to be navigated to Leith by the riggers of this yard, having been fitted as a hospital-ship for the quarantine service there.— Letter from Chatham.

TI19. ax-KING OF Fmtrzcx.-The Bourbons, among other kingly qua- lities, had a great disinclination to Fay their debts. Besides Pfaffen- loffen and others, Charles the Tenth owed Count Isemburg about :800,000 francs, of which, with all his applicitions, the Count could never contrive to recover but 30,000. He has lately cited Charles before the Court of First Instance of the Seine, and obtained a judgment in absence against him. TILE Di:CHESS OF BERRL-If this lady had any political -designs, she has seen fit to drop them. She is now-in Tuscany, and is about to proceed to Leghorn to the sea-bathing. Blacas, De Canny, and Berthier de Marsan, have received orders from the Piedmoutese Government to quit its territories. INFERNAL. MACIIINEs.-Three packets, resembling despatches, were lately addressed to King Ferdinand, M. de Calomarde, and the Princess de Beira. Each of these parcels contained an infernal machine. No accident happened to the first two personages, as they took the precau- tion of having them steeped in water, and afterwards opened by other persons. But the Secretary of the Princess de Beira took off the cover in great baste, upon which a terrible explosion took place. The impru- dent secretary fell to the ground, with his fa.ce and breast dreadfully wounded. The report of the explosion attracted several persons, who immediately afforded him assistance. Part of the floor was damaged by the explosion.

INsuitaECTION AT TILE IlivANNau.-The Clementine, which arrived' at Havre on the 18th, brings the following account. " An insurrection, of which the authorities received information a few hours before the moment chosen for the execution of it, was to break out on St. Ferdi- nand's Day. The object of the plot, formed by negroes, was the de- struction of the whites. The black conspirators had fixed on the mo- ment when almost the whole white population was to go out of the city, to see the ascent of a balloon. The Governor being informed of the project of the negroes, immediately caused all the important posts to Le occupied by piquets of troops. The fete passed over without acci- dent. Thirty blacks, who were suspected, had been arrested in the morning; and one of them, attempting to escape from the guard-house, was killed by a musket-shot. This is the only person who has lost his life in consequence of this conspiracy." The captain of the Clementine adds, that when he left the port on the 12th of June every thing was quiet.
