flam . The hon . gentleman complained of the unfair electioneering tricks which had been played him , and pledged himself to institute an action for the libels which had been circulated against him . The hon . gentleman then went " on to charge . Sir De Lacy Evans with having violated the most important of the principles which he professed , in having supported the Grey and Kussellite Governments in passing a penal statute against the Catholics . The hon . gentleman , having again thanked the electors for their support , retired from the hustings .
A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr . Smedley , the hi gh bailing and the meeting separated .
FINSBURT . TflE OFFICIAL DKCLAJUHON . The declaration took place yesterday on the hustings , Clerkenwell-green . Mr . Wyld , accompanied by several of his friends , arrived precisely at twelve o ' clock , and Mr . Alderman Challis and Mr . Dancombe made ^ theieyappearance shortly afterwards . Mr . BoykettrtHe returning officer , took his station upon the hustings at a quarter past twelve , and immediately behind him stood his trumpeter , who after playing the « National Anthem" and " Rule Britannia , " was called upon for " There ' s a good time coming , " which he gave in excellent style , the audience with great good-humour joining in the chorus , " Wait a little longer , " which certainly was very appropriate , seeing that the declaration was delayed tintlL one o ' clock .
The trumpeter at that hour having given a flourish for the purpose of obtaining silence , Mr . BorKEir said : Gentlemen , electors of the borough of Finsbury , I have now to declare the state of the poll , and I shall declare it in the order in which the gentlemen were nominated : — Thomas SHngsby ^ Duncombe 6 , 678 ( loud cheers ) James Wyld 2 , 010 ( cheers ) Thomas Challis , Alderman " 7 , 504 ( cheers and hisses ) I have therefore to declare that Mr . Thomas Challis , and Mr . Thomas Slingsb y Duncombe , are duly elected to serve in Parliament for the borough ofFinsbury . ( Loud and repeated cheers . )
Mr . Dvxcoxbe , who was greeted with immense cheering , said : Electors and uou-electors of the borough of Finsbury , I have to thank you for having this day returned me for the sixth time as your representative . ( Cheers . ) Some of my friends have expressed a little disappointment that I am not , as formerly , at the head of the poll . -Bnt I can serve you equally as well and with as much fidelity in the position Which 1 have now the honour to occupy . ( Load cheers . ) After some further observations , the hon . gentleman concluded by warmly thanking the electors for their support , and retired amidst loud cheering . Mr . Wyld then presented himself and was loudly cheered . He said : Men of Finsbury , I appear before you as the last candidate on the poll , but I , am not therefore defeated , because the principles of which I am the advocate are triumphant . ( Cheers . )
CARLISLE . OFFICIAL SKCLAEmON . At half-past fenr the Mayor appeared upon the hustings , and declared that he had summed up the poll-books and found the numbers to be—For Sir James Graham ... ... 625 For Mr . Ferguson ... c . ... 512 For Mr . Hodgson 419 He therefore , amidst tremendous cheering , declared Sir James Graham and Mr . Ferguson to be duly elected . Sir James Graham then proceeded to address the assemblage ; but was met with much interruption , in allusion to which he said : —There is immediately below me a small knot of men who appear to be resolved that you shall not hear me—ifc is for you to decide whether they shall have
their way or not . [ At tins momenta vigorous rush was made by the majority , which had the effect of sweeping the malcontents clear from the market-place . This was not accomplished without a straggle , however ; one man in particular , who seemed to be the ringleader , made a desperate resistance , seized one of the opponents by the hair of the head , and dragged him with him out of the crowd , and otherwise inflicted upon him severe punishment . Sut the movement had the effect of restoring quiet throughout the rest of the proceedings . ] Sir James Graham then proceeded with his address , which contained the usual amount of parliamentary both , for which the speeches of Sir James are so celebrated ; A vote of thanks to the mayor olosed the proceedings *

Sir James" Graham Put To The Question. I...
SIR JAMES" GRAHAM PUT TO THE QUESTION . In another column we have reported the issue of the Carlisle election , by which it will be seen that Sir James Graham has been elected one of the representatives of that city : In the course of his speech he observed : — " It has been said—Lord Derby himself has said—that danger is to be apprehended from tbe increase of democracy in this country . His lordship had declared that , dreading the inroads of democracy , he is prepared to make a stand against its further incursions and to raise barriers to stay its progress . . My experience leads me to this conclusion—that the utmost wisdom of policy is to know not only what con- , cessions ! to make , but when to make them . ( Applause ) Timely concessions are amicable arrangements with friends ,- while tardy and reluctant concessions are a dangerous triumph extorted by fear from an unwilling adversary .
( Cheers . ) Speaking only in a Conservative souse , timely concession is the greatest proof of Conservative wisdom in any statesman ; . ( Applause . ) I beleve that further popular concessions may be made without danger . " Renewed cheering ;) - Dr . Lorsdalb thought that , as Sir J . Graham was sure to hold the highest'place in the next administration , it was desirable to ascertain his opinion on certain points to which he had not alluded in his address to the meeting . For this purpose he haddsawn up certain questions to whioh he required answers fraa the right hon . baronet . Sir J . GhahajjBW that Dr . Lonsdale had put into his hand four question ? to which he would reply seriatim . The first question was— " Would you in any future case , like that of Hungary , where the liberties of one State were interfered with by " another and despotic State ( Russia ) , do
your best to put an end to that interference and to resist it as a violation of right ? " It was impossible for any lover of freedom not to participate in the aspirations after freedom in all foreign countries , and he knew no limit to practically aiding foreign countries in their endeavours to liberate ! themselves from the yoke of tyranny , except the paramount obligation of not involving this country in a war on account of interference in affairs not our own . The second question was— " Would you , in the case of a people , now despotically governed , throwing off the yoke by their own energies ,: and setting up a new government- by a revolution ~ $ rtheir own making , urge the immediate and 4 uU recognition of . that governmentby ours ?" .. , To this- question he could- give a practical answer . The great motto of Lord Grey ' s government , in ' addition to reform and retrenchment , was
noninterference in the affairs of foreign countries . Acting in accordance with this motto , Lord Grey ' s Covers ment , following the example of their predecessors , recognized the Government of Louis Philippe , whom a revolution had raised to the throne of France . Again , another revolution separated Belgium from Holland , and raised it into an independent kingdom and in that case also Lord Grey ' s Government recognised the newly created authority . Thirdly , when Louis Philippe was expelled from France by another revolution , and a republic established in that country , the British Government acknowledged the new order of things—a course of which he entirely approved . The third question was— «« Would you oppose any measures—an extradition bill , recourse to letter opening , or the like—which could have for its object the restriction of the rights of refugees to find an asylum in
England , safe from all espionage on the part of our Government ? " He would make England a secure asylum -to all foreigners seeking an asylum from the oppression of other governments in any part of the world ; but , in return , he would require that these foreigners should not abuse our hospitality by conduct which would endanger the peace of Europe . As to extradition he approved of the agreement into which we had entered with France and America for the mutual surrender of three classes of criminals-namely , murderers , forgerers , and fraudulent bankrupts . The fourth question was . " Would you maintain the duty of this country to take steps forthe efficient protection of her subjects abroad ? ' His answer was decidedly in the affirmative . let our fellow subjects abroad obey the laws of the country in which their res : dence xs fixed , ana should they , unoffenaing . be assailed by tyranny , he would , event at the risk of war , from which his feelings wero abhorrent , protect them bv the hiehhand of the power ofthis country .
Dr . Lonsdale wished to have the right hon . gentleman s optica on the extension of the franchise . He would tell them he was not satisfied with the new Reform Bill introducedI by «» W » Whig government . It sinned in one parUcular-it did not recur to the principles of the act of 1832 , which was the 1 disfranch . scment ot Imallrotten boroughs , and the extensionof the franchise , to to wu containing large numbers ot intelligent citizens . If we , arertc . revise the Reform Act I think we must begin where we left off . We must look to see whether there are any decayed boroughs to bo distranchised , and whetherthe franchise cannot he beneficially extended to large communities not at present enjoying it ; and with respect to cities and borough * , he had no hesitation in saying it appeared to him that the old English basis , of residence and rating would be the legitimate foundation of any future extension of the suffrage . ( Cheers , ) , « m . Dr . Lonsdale ' s question was then put to the other candidates , and obtained from them answers substantially the same as those given by Sir J . Graham ,
Nominations Took Place On Thursday At Wh...
Nominations took place on Thursday at Whitly , Weymouth , Truro , Gateshead , Lancaster , & c . And on Friday at Salisborough , Maldon , Dartmouth , Paisley , Stirling . A tremendous thunderstorm visited Newcastle-upon-Tyne and its neighbourhood on Monday last , and caused considerable destruction to property , as well as a sacrifice of human life . The storm raged / or several hours . Four persons in Gateshead ; two at Walker , aud two at Alnwick , fell victims on the occasion . Destructive Fires and Loss op Life . —Yesterday morning , about" two ' o ' clock , a fire , attended with a considerable loss of property , and unfortunately with the loss of one' life , happened on the premises belonging to Mr . W . Johnson , St . George ' s Tavern , St . George ' s-street ,
Commercial-fltreet-in-the-East . The fire originated in the second floor from some cause not clearly ascertained , Mr . Johnstone at the time being asleep . The light oi the fire having been perceived by some persons passing , they immediately raised an alarm , and no time was lost in endeavouring to arouse the inmates , but unfortunately tbe fire had obtained too strong a hold to be easily extinguished , Mr . Johnson was unable to effect his escape . The escapes of the Royal Society , and numerous engines of the London Fire Brigade , and those of the parish , were quickly on the spot , and plenty of water having been procured from the
East London Works , the firemen set to work in a most praiseworthy manner , but before the flames could be subdued , that portion of the premises in which the disaster commenced was burnt out , and unfortunately Mr . Johnson was so severely burnt that he died shortly after being removed to the hospital . About five o ' clock another very destructive fire broke out , in one of the newly-erected and spacious , premises , situate in Princess-row , near Primrosehill . Such was the fury of the fire that in the brief space of ten minutes the entire building presented a sheet of flame .

A FOOLISE BRAVO . - Maxbios Hovsb . —A man named Button , tbe landlord of some houses in tho neighbourhood of Angel-alley , was charged with having assaulted the wife of Cousins , who is occasionally engaged by the City tolls collector , and with having presented at her a pistol , in which was a ball but no powder . The complainant described a scene in whioh the defendant was not only said to have used very gross language , bat to have kicked the woman , and to have threatened to shoot her , merely because she expostulated with him , when he presented th , e pistol at another person , and appeared to be bent upon doing mischief , Upon tho part of the defendant it was stated that ho never thought of shooting anybody , but that he had to do with such a
set of dangerous customers as to be obliged to carry a pistol to deter them by the exhibition of it from doing him some serious injury . —Deady , who is a very steady officer , said that the complainant having represented the circumstances to him , he went to the house of Mr . Button , and took from him a pistol , in which a bullet certainly appeared , but without powder .- —A statement having been made in the course of the investigation , that the husband of the complainant had offered to accept money from the defendant , to have the matter compromised , Alderman Sir Robert Garden , considering the facts to hate beon exaggerated , for the purpose of getting money from the defendant , caused the latter to be bound over in the sum of £ 50 to keep tho peace . The magistrate . strongly commented upon Button ' s practice of displaying a pistol for tho purpose of creating terror , especially amongst females .
A FOREIGN SWINDLER . GoiiDHAiA . — Emanuel Michel , a dark complexioned foreigner , about thirty years of age , was charged with obtaining , under false pretences , tbe sum of £ 20 , of a Greek merchant , of the name of Aristide Baltazsi , of 28 , Great Winchester-street , with intent to defraud that gentleman . —William Katz , managing clerk to Messrs . Baltnzzl and Co ., said that the prisoner called at their offices in the beginning of June last , and asked to see Mr . Baltazzi , at the same time claiming acquaintance , whioh be said commenced in Mareilles . A few days after he came again , and requested witness to ask Mr . Baltazzi to let him have £ 20 , and he would pay him in French money at Marseilles , whither he was going that evening , as he expected to receive money there . Witness communicated prisoner ' s request to Mr . Baltazzi , who said by all means let him
have the money . Witness then gave prisoner a cheque upon Jones Lloyd ' s bank for £ 20 , and received in exchange his receipt for that amount in French money , which he forwarded to their agents at Marseilles . On tbe 19 th of June witness received a letter from Marseilles , acknowledging the receipt of the remittance , and expressing surprise that Mr . Baltazzi should have trusted prisoner with that sum , as he had left Marseilles rather hurriedly , having swindled everybody he could before his departure . —In answer to questions from the alderman , witness said when the prisoner first made his appearance at tbeir office he wore his hair , « fcc , in the Greek fashion , and displayed about his
mouth and chin a profusion of beard and moustache , to which his face at present was a perfect stranger . The prosecutors were not bringing this case forward with tbe view of getting back their money , tbeir only object being to punish the prisoner and caution the public against his nefarious practices , as they had information that be had already tried to swindle several English houses , and if time were given , Mr . Cartwrighfc , the insurance broker of Lloyd ' s , would come forward to give evidence to that effect . —The evidence having been explained to the prisoner throuugh the medium of an interpreter , he merely shrugged his shoulders and produced his passport , prepared for his departure for Marseilles . —Remanded .
A FURIOUS RUFFIAN . Worship SiRKEi , ~< Michel . . O'Bryan , a powerful Irishman was ' placed at thebiir / before Mr . D'Eyncourt , charged With . feloniously cutting , iand wounding an elderly man named Downing ,. with ihtehtto injure him . The prosecutor , a'hriekiayer ' s labourer , stated , that after leaving off work on the preceding evening be entered a public house called the Queen ' s Head , at Mile-end , at the bar of which he was quietly standing , drinking some porter , when the prisoner , who was in a state of furious excitement and drunkenness , suddenly rushed in with a long pointed table-knife in his hand , and advanced towards him exclaiming , " You are the fellow that hit me on the mouth just now ; you ' ve got a fighting man ' s cap on , and I'll have your life . " The prisoner was an entire stranger to him
, and lie was about to explain that he was under a mistake , as he had never seen him before , when the prisoner grasped him by the collar and attempted to stab him with the knife . Witness struggled violently with him to escape from his gripe , but could not , and the prisoner seized hold of his forefinger , which he thrust into his mouth , and ground it between his teeth with such vindictivenes that the flesh was bitten through upon both sides of the bone . Witness then got away from him and ran to the doorway to get out , but before he could do so , the prisoner again seized him , and made three or four desperate attempts to stab htm in the chest , but witness , by writhing about , succeeded in evading the blows , until , feeling weak from his exertions , and seeing that he must be stabbed the next time the prisoner struck at him , he thrust out his hand and grasped a
firm hold of the blade to save his body ; tbe prisoner , however , Instantly drew the blade throujfh his hand , inflicting three fearful gashes in his thumb and two of his fingers , and was in the act of thrusting the knife at the upper part of his neck , when a man named Ruffles , who saw the danger of his position , dealt the prisoner a violent blow on the head , which brought him to the ground , and before he could re cover from the effects of it , he was pinned to the ground by several other men , the knife wrenched out of his hand , aud a constable being procured , after a violent contest he was ultimately lodged in the station . This evidence was conSrmed by Ruffles , a shoemaker , and Tenables , a constable . When called upon for his answer to the charge , the prisoner vehemently declared that the whole of the witnesses statements were entirely falseand that the
pro-, secutor had struck him ia the ribs and hit him behind his back before he entered the house , and that he had therefore pursued him thero to have satisfaction . Mr . D'Eyncourt regarded it as being far too serious a case for his summary powers of adjudication to deal with . Tho prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial . . A CLERICAL RUFFIAN . Hammersmith . —William Cannon , a young man about thirty years of age , employed as a messenger in Kensington , appeared to answer a summons obarging him with having assaulted the Rev . Robert Dallon , a minister of the Established Church . —During the last fortnight the rev . gentleman has constantly been at this court to complain of the police of Kensington for refusing to render him any assistance to eject his female servants , who . he swore , were
refractory , from his house . He has also complained of the conduct of bis wife , and on one occasion obtained a summons against her for an assault , but failed to appear on the day of hearing . —The complainant now stated that he was a clergyman , and resided at No . 6 , Young-street , Sensing , ton . On Saturday week last he had occasion to communicate with Inspectors Field and Shaw , and he delivered a * letter to the ostler at the house of Mr . Sibley , a publican , of Kensington , to convey to those officers , in Great Scotland-yard . Some time afterwards tbe defendant came to hU house , andsrequested payment for delivering tbe letter , Witness desired his wife , who had by some means obtained possession of his money , to pay the defendant , but she refused to do so , and then he went away . Subsequently he returned , and said he was a nolioe constable , and bad been
authorised by Mr . Shaw to enter his house . Witness desired him to quit the house immediately , but be stoutly refused , and caught hold of witness by the collar , and twice shook him very roughly . —The defendant , who appeared very unwell , denied the charge , and said the complainant had used him very ill . On the day in question tho waterman at Mr . Sibley ' s gave him a letter to deliver to Inspector Field . He waited at Scotland-yard for some considerable time , and was informed that Inspector Field was gone to M irlborough-street . He returned about seven o ' clock in the evening to the complainant ' s house for the purpose of being paid for his trouble , and to acquaint him what had occurred . He saw Mrs . Dallon , who told him that he must have been mad to go with a letter for her husband , and that five cabmen had already been tbere that
day for payment for the hire of their cabs by Mr . Dallon . She called the complainant out to him , and he told her to pay him for his trouble . She said she had no money , and he told her she had £ 12 belonging to him ,, Sho denied that she had ,- and said " What have you done * with the 14 s . you obtained by pledging your spectacles ? " The complainant then raised his stick to strike his wife , and she ran behind him ( defendant ) for protection . The servant girls came up - stairs on hearing the noise , and the complainant immediately ordered them down stairs , at the same time swearing at them and calling them by the lowest epithet that can be applied to a woman . They appeared very much alarmed , and quickly ran down stairs . The complainant followed them , and threw the umbrella stand , which stood in the hall , after them . If i ' . had struck
them , there was no doubt it would have done them some serious injury . The complainant then procured a staff and desired him to leave the house . Mrs . Dallon bad previously locked the door to prevent him ( defendant ) from ( leaving the house as she required assistance to prevent her husband from inflicting any injury upon her . The complainant then struck him with the staff on the hand and knee , which was very much injured . He had been confined to his bed in consequence of the blow he had received , and only left it on Monday last . He ( defendant ) remained in the house until near eleven o clock , when the lodgers came home and the door was opened . Mrs . Dallon obtained some money from her lodgers and paid him . He then quickly left the house , and was very glad when he got out . The only time that he touched the complainant was when he assisted Mrs . Dallon to take the staff from him . —This evidence was confirmed by
the servant girls—The summons was then dismissed , and the magistrate directed tbe clerk to give the defendant a sovereign from tbe poor box . "EMINENT CONSERVATIVES" UP THE SPOUT .
