1835. 191 IPSWICH ELECTION. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE AND BIGOTRY. Thunder Storm, On Wednesday se'nnight Manchester and the neighbourhood were visited by a tremendous thunder storm, which lasted for upwards of two hours. A person named Richard Shuttleworth was struck dead by the lightning, whilst passing along Ardwick-place.

An umbrella which he carried oyer his bead at the time appeared to be enveloped in' flume, and in an instant afterwards he dropped upon the foothpatb and was never seen to move again. The MancheMer.fQuardian says, On examining his person and dress, some: appearances presented themselves, which, coupled with other facts that were observed, seem to show the electric fluid in this case, as in some others, proceeded, hot from the clouds, but from the earth. In the first place, just at the moment when Shuttleworth was killed, several persons who hap. pened to be in the neighbourhood witnessed explosions of electric fluid at different points on the road, just as if so many pistols had been fired out of the ground. One of these explosions appears to have taken place under Sbut-tleworth's right foot.

Round the heel of the shoe was a row of strong nails, which seem to have conducted into the shoe a larger quantity of the electric fluid than could be transmitted upwards by any conducting substance which presented itself, and the shoe-heel had been torn asunder along the line of nails, whilst the upper-leather had been torn out at the side. The. left shoe did not exhibit any mark of injury; so that there had either been no communication of electric fluid from the earth to it, or. it had been only in such quantity as could be conducted upwards. The stocking on the right leg was much burnt, and a long gaiter which he wore was torn open in various places.

His person, from tbe right foot up to the head, exhibited strong marks of being scorched, and his whiskers STEALING A PACKET-BOAT. A couple of Dutchmen were brought up last week at the Marlborpugh-strest Police-office, with all the symptoms of having had some warm work together, by Sergeant Jarvis, who told Mr. Dyer he waB so puzzled with their broken English that all he could made out that one charged the other with having run away with a packet-boat."

Scene in a Yankee School-room." What studies do you intend to pursue?" said an erudite pedagogue one day, as a Johnny Raw entered his school-room.

Why, I shall study read, I s'pose, wouldn't ye Yes but you willnot want to read all the time; are you acquainted with figures?" It's a pity if I aint, when I've cyphered clean through adoption." "Adoption What rule is that?" said the master. "Why, its the double rule of know that twice two is four: and according to adoption, t-wice Decease of, a persecuted Son of Genius. Died, on Friday, the 17th April, in tbe 51st year of his age, William Henry Ireland, the well-known and celebrated fabricator of the Shakspearisn manuscripts, which, for a considerable time, occupied and divided the public attention and opinion as to their geniuneness, and -puzzled the heads of some of the most learned men of their day, a list of whose names are to be found in tbe "Pin Basket," a satirical poem, published about the year 1797, written by J. Williams, under the assumed name of Anthony Pasquin. In this work Williams affirms that learned doctors, first-rate critics, members of Parliament, peers of the realm, (not a few in number,) gave it under' their hands as their decided opinion "that they were the genuine production of our immortal bard," and goes on to state that some of them carried their enthusiasm bo far as to fall on their knees and thank God that they had lived to witness the discovery, as they could now die in peace.

This anecdote alone, of the truth of which there is little doubt, as it is mentionedvin many other works, must be sufficient evidence to prove tat the deceased, W. H. Ireland, must have been a youtfFjf uncommon talents, as he began the hoax when he was only seventeen years of age. His reasons for this proceeding are explained in his confession and had their foundaliorf'alone in a wish to please his father, who was constantly remarking bis earnest desire to possess some manuscript of Shakspeare. This fact will be still further elucidated by his Reminiscences, finished, and ready for publication a short time previously to his death.

During the progress of writing these papers he was an articled clerk to a solicitor. The public opinion was kept on fulf stretch for some years before his unexpected success as an imitator of the style of Shakspeare, when be was prompted, by youtbful vanity, to produce a tragedy, which he pretended to have found in the handwriting of the Bard of Avon, called Vortigern and Rowena." This play was put into rehearsal the principal character assigned to J. P. Kemble, the other parts cast with all the dramatic talents of the day, and announced for representation at Drury-lane, on Saturday, April 2d, 1796. The theatre was crowded to overflowing.

The piece went on very' well, till a few lines the principal character had to speak had so strong an emiiAosis laid oh them by the actorss to convince the audience that he considered the manuscript sb a fraud. From that time no more attention could be obtained the curtain dropped, the audience dispersed, and tbe prospects and hopes of the young author were, blighted for ever. Yet his crime (if such it can be called) was nothing more than what the public patronised and extolled in Chattcrton, whs pretended to have found a chest full of papers, the works of Rowley, an ancient British poet. Thus has it been with W. H.

Ireland a positive forgery on the Bank of England could not have been followed up with more rancorous malignity than that with which, the literary pundits and a portion of the press followed the career of this unfortunate son of genius, now peaceably at rest in St. George's Churchyard, in the botough of Southward; A very strange coincident, that the poet he so loved and admired, and whose writings lie 'imitated, should have died and been buried in the same month and day of the week as W. H. Ireland. Tory Candour.

We have looked in vain to the Times for some apology for the flagrant misrepresentation of the toast given at the dinner of the London Reform Alms, houses, namely, the substitution of The health of Daniel O'Connell, redresser of the grievances of Ireland, for Daniel O'Connell, and redress of the wrongs of Ireland, and happiness to he people." This misrepresentation could not be accidental, and it argues consummate depravity in the perpetrator. The man who would be guilty of it, only does not pick pockets because it is less safe Morning Chronicle. The Quaker? Yearly Meeting. Tbe interest excited, in what is called the religious world, by the recent theological controversy in the Society of Friends, induced the editor of the 'Cftrtfliun Advocate to take means for procuring information relative to the proceedings of their annual meeting, which has lately been held in London, and of which very copious account is given in that paper but our limits will not permit us to give more than a very brief abstract of that part of it which relates to what may be called the scriptural controversy, which was brought on by a report from the Ministers and Elders in stating that the publication by M. Isaac Ctewdson of, a work called The Beacon, had produced a breach of love and unity amongst the Friends, and that the quarterly meeting in Lancashire had taken up the subject by appointing a committee to inquire into the cause of the disunion or, in other words, to bring Mr.

Crewdson and his book under rebuke, if not disavowal. Mr. Foster, of Tottenham, after, deprecating tbe intro-auction of a spirit of controversy among the Friends, proposed that the yearly meeting should extend some care and assistance to the Friends in Lancashire (where Mr. Crewdson resides.) Mr. Luke Howard, from York-shire, thought that this was unnecessary, as the Lancashire Friends had not applied for such assistance, and pro-babiy felt quite able to manage their own affairs without it.

This discussion Was renewed at a subsequent silting by J. J.Gurney, who expressed his approval of the sentiments of The Beacon on the subject of the Atonement, which are decidedly evangelical. Here Mr. Gurney was interrupted, on the point of order, by Mr. Allen, Mr.

Forster, and several other Friends, who evinced much anxiety to prevent any doctrinal points from being discussed. Mr. Crewdson said that Friends should ex-pressly state those parts of his book to which they objected he said it was intended as a reply to the errors entertained by the Hictcsites (Quaker Unitarians,) and not as a full development of his own principles or those of the society. The debate was resumed at another sitting, but without producing that unity of feeling which Friends tbink so essential, and at' length a committee was sppqinted to assist the Friends in Lancasbiie. Upon tbe subject of Temperance Societies, after some discussion, a minute on the subject was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be sent down -to all the subordinate meetings.

This minute expressed the concern the annual meeting had felt respecting the dreadful evils of intemperance, and recommended all its members to stem this torrent of evil by abstaining from the. use of spirituous liquors, except for medical purposes; and declared that it was quite inconsistent for any member of the Society of Friends to keep a dram shop. The abolition of slavery by the Government of this country was spoken of in terms of commendation. Orange Processions. Lord Rod en has written a letter to Mr.

Lindsay, the Grand Orange Secretary of Downshire, exhorting the Orangemen not to march in the customary procession on the ISth of July. His lordship adds Nothing can be more clear than that such an exhibition on any of these anniversaries is directly contrarv to the The inquiries of the Ipswich Election Committee Dare untomea a system ot corruption and iniquity in thBt borough and elsewhere, which will excite universal indignation. The two Tory candidates at Ipswich triumphed by a small majority, the numbers being R. A. Dundss, 545; Fitrroy Kelly, 542; Bigby ason, 521; James Morrison, S06.

It is now clearly proved that this trifling majority was obtained by wholesale bribery. The instrument of this bribery was en experienced hand at Norwich a place where all the arts of corruption are well understood a Mr. John Pilgrim, who has been coroner of that city for twenty years, and confidential clerk to Messrs. Sewell and -Blake, solicitors, of Norwich, for thirty years. Mr.

Kelly, one of the Tory candidates at Ipswich, and a barrister, wrote to Sewell and Co. a letter, in which he said We shall be much obliged te ou for the services of my friend, Mr. Pilgrim. will be wanted." The meaning of this 'toeing well understood. Pilgrim was sent, and he acknowledges to having bribed by about 20 per vote, and receiving the money from Mr.

Kelly, or in his "presence. Kelly said to him that he would not lose the election for thousands. When the Election Committee was to begin its inquiry into the bribery alleged by the petition to have been practised, Pilgrim and several other agents were sent off to Calais, to be out of the way of the Speaker's warrant; the person who did this being Mr. of London, Mr. Kelly's attorney and these important witnesses remained there for some lime.

It happened, however, that Pilgrim's employers, Messrs. Sewell and Blake, discovered ih'nis absence that he bad embezzled from them the insignificant sum of 6 so far back as the year 1831 and one of the partners went Over to Calais and dismissed him from their service. This something else induced Pilgrim to return to England and to Norwich, when the Tories, in mortal alarm at rinding a witness who could reveal so much aain within reach of the Speaker's warrant, instantly took him into custody, brought him before the magistrates, made the most ot a case of trifling embezzlement, got the Tory magistrates to prolong his examination, and to detain him in spite of the Speaker's warrant, and at length got him com-united to-gaol, refusing bail for his appearance, though it was tendered to the amount of Luckily the Speaker's warrant was powerful enough to bring him up to London, and, to the dismay of Mr. Kelly and his friends. Pilgrim appeared on Monday before the Election Committee, and let out all the secret history of the Tory bribery.

On Tuesday last the inquiry terminated, and the Committee, alter three hours' deliberation, came to the following resolutions: Resolved, That the resolutions of the 14th of April be rescinded. Resolved, That Robert Adam Dundas, Esq. and Fitzroy Kelly, Esq. are not duly elected, and ought not to have been returned -to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of Ipswich. Resolved, That the petition of Robert Ransom and others does not appear to have been frivolous or vexatious.

Resolved, That the opposition to the said petition does appear to be frivolous and vexatious. 3PBCIAL RESOLUTIONS. That Robert Adam Dundas and Fitzroy Kelly, Esquires, were, by their friends and agents, guilty of bribery and corruption at the late for the borough of Ipswich and that Arthur Robert Cooke, J.B. Dasent, John Pilgrim, and others, were guiity of bribery at the said election. Resolved, That J.

B. Dasent, A. B. Cooke, R. B.

Clamp, and -John Pilgrim were guilty of absconding to avoid being served with the Speaker's warrant and that J. E. Sparrow and John Clipperton, the avowed agents of the sitting members, and F. O. Malley, Esq.

one of the eounsel employed by the sitting members, aided and abetted them in keeping out of the way to avoid giving evidence taefore this Committee. Beiolved, That the said John Pilgrim having at length been served with the Speaker's warrant, was prevented attending on this Committee by being arrested on a charge of embezzlement by Messrs, Sewell and Co. under very suspicious circumstances. That the conduct of the magistrates, Samuel Bignold, Esq. and E.

Temple Booth, Esq. before whom he was charged, appears to this Committee to be a breach of the privileges of the House. At the suggestion of Mr. Austin, the Committee agreed to meet the following morning, to adopt ulterior proceedings in reference to the claims of Messrs. Wason and Morrison to be declared the sitting members.

Tory Fabrications. The Dublin correspondent of the Sun has shown up the practices of the Tory press in an article headed Irish Monstrosities, in which he enumerates half a dozen capital thumpers. Speaking of the utterly groundless story that the Irish Solicitor-General iiad sanctioned and enjoyed the toast, O'Connell and a Repeal of the Union," the writer says," Mr. O'Logh- -len, the Solicitor-General, who never was a repealer, and always declared his disapproval of the project, was stated by a Dublin journal to have presided at an election dinner where the repeal was toasted with acclamation. The Times, delighted at the lie, made its own of it after the following flourish His Majesty's Solicitor-General for Ireland, sat quietly at his own election dinner the other day while the toast of O'Connell arid Repeal of the Union was given sat, me say, gravely in his chair, never budging, never protesting, and still remains Solicitor-General for Ireland.

This one fact explains itself. It shows where the Soiicitor-General must have felt his allegiance to be substantially due. The submission of the Learned Gentleman to the avowal of such a sentiment in his presence, coupled with the acquiescence of Lord Mul- frave, is a demonstration which the most stupid man in ogland or Ireland cannot misunderstand, of the ignominious principles on which the (nominally King's) Government is henceforth to be conducted, so long as the Whig O'Connell Cabinet shall remain in office. This one fact' is one big lie from the beginning to the end and how does the Timet get out of it Does it retract what it bad stated about the allegiance to O'Connell, and the demonstration of the principle of the Whig O'Connell Cabinet Not a bit of it but expresses satisfaction, the audacious varler, that Mr. O'Loghlen has so completely cleared himself.

The force of profligacy can no farther go." Lord Brougham and the Present Ministry. One of the thousand Tory lies of the day is, that Lord Brougham bas been slighted by the present Ministry, differs with them on some questions, and is altogether but on in. different terms with them. We understand that nothing can be more unfounded than these assertions, and that bis Lordship is constantly in the most friendly and confidential intercourse with the head ot the Administration. On Saturday last, he presided at the annual dinner, at the London Tavern, in commemoration of the founding of the London alms-houses.

In proposing the health of his I Majesty's Ministers, he said "he felt some difficulty, inasmuch as he had himself belonged to the Administration which produced the Reform BUI (immense cheering but as it was a public question, he should feel justified in waiving all personal feeling, more particularly as his Majesty's had just produced a measure of cor- idratioQ reform, which he looked upon as a glorious foi-owing up of Parliamentary reform. (Cheers.) Indeed, the latter measure he considered but as a seed from which the present Government were to raise a rich harvest of fritit, not, however, by forcing, but by fostering. (Renewed cheers.) But to effect this great the hearty support of the people was indispensably necessary. Indeed the present was a crisis at which such support was more than ever needed, for he would sot attempt to deny that never was a Government more confessedly in want of popular aid than the present. In addition to a formidable majority leagued against them in the House of Lords (hear, hear) they bad in the House of Commons to combat a powerful Opposition, amounting to nearly one-half the representation, and what was worse, an Opposition composed of a compact and resolute body while their own patty was split in half a dozen sections.

(Hear, hear.) But though thus comparatively weak in point of numbers, he was proud to say that tbe present Ministry were strong in honesty of purpose strong in the rights they had to guide them strong, he trusted', in the support of their country. (Cheers.) This was the support on which alone it could stand for should it desert and disregard the people, it would look in vain for Court favour, and would be insulted, mocked, and tamed out, with the contempt of the Court which it had sought to fawn upon, and the detestation of the people whom it had betrayed. (Gheer'c) No Ministry whatever could stand without tbs support of the people; it mta ths breath of their nostrils. (Cheers.) He bad said, -'lour years since, that no Ministry ongbt to stand without the support of the people; he would now say, looking to the progress of public feeling aud opinion, that no Ministry could stand wittiout'it. (Cheers.) He would sot even except the present Administration, and he knew their honssty end good "sense too eil to suppose that they would be angry with fcim for jiog so.

Moreover, it was theduty of tbe people closely towauh Ministers, gtery Munstty; good, or in-msireiiti ought to have a close and vigilant eye kept on Proeetdsngs.

The Literary Gazette, commen tins in termsofhish oral seunon this valuable acces sion to out stock of moral philosophy, exclaims," What an cxtruuruinary man is tms nrougnam i now wonderfully active in mind, and how encyclopedical in informa. tion With judicial, official, and parliamentary duties enough to weigh down the energies of any giant.in intellect, he found time to compose the greater part of this very able volume, a volume at once sound and logical in its data, and close and philosophical in its reasoning," The Lite, rary Gazette furnishes some splendid, passages from the work, and most of the leading reviews speak of it with respect and admiration.

Some of the creatures connected with the press, who hate Lord Brougham for those narts of his conduct which should endear him to the public, win, no doubt, eagerly seize tms opportunity to renew their vain and impotent attempts to injure his reputation and disturb his tranquillity.

DOGS. TO EDITOR OF TUB LIVERPOOL UERCCRY. Sm, As our Chief Magistrate wishes to thin tbe number of dogs in the town this veryhot 1 think it would be advisable to take the same step as was done at Warrington. Advertise areward of one shilling fox every dog brought into the 'arid then, if the owners choose to redeem them by payinpthe shilling and promise to keep them in, they had them back, if not they were destroyed and really it is very dangerous to have so many dogs loose this hoc weather, for which the owners never paid any tax. or ever intended to do.
