OREENIVICH ELECTION.-NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.-THIS DAY. SURREY FLOWER SHOW. IRELAND. RAIL WA YS. THIS DAY. MONEY MARKET. Denim, JeNE 25. It is stated that the Lord-Lieutenant has ap pointed Mr. Robert Ball, LL.B., to be secretary to the board of the Queen's Unkersity in Ireland. The impression now generally prevails that the result of the Irish census shows the population tc be less than six and a half millions. In 1831 the po pulation of Ireland was 7,000,000; in 1841, it was 8,170,000 ; and at the same ratio it is calculated that Two o'CLoci. The share market opened heavily to-day, and, upon sellers appearing, prices receded considerably ; but it has since partially recovered, and there is now more disposition to purchase, though quota tions are still lower than they closed yesterday. The falling off in the traffic receipts of the Midland, Ber wick and York, and North Midland Railways, (as noticed under the head of' " Money Market") forms the consideration upon which interested parties have succeeded in depressing the market, notwithstand ing the extremely good prospects of most lines, and the very favourable appearance of the aggregate traffic. Pending the settlement of the account, for which most of the necessary arrange ments are now completed, the market naturally shows more unsteadiness. The settling presents no feature of much interest to parties unconnected with the "house." THIS DAY. Two o'CLoci. it should, under ordinary circumstances, be at pre sent nearly ten millions. The hiadin Daily Express, which is likely to be well informed on the matter, assures us that no ab stract of the census of Ireland has yet been sub mitted to the Irish government, but that the return will be ready for publication in a very few days. It is not asserted, however, that the statement of the population of Ireland being reduced to something under Aix and a half millions is incorrect. Ti ONDON aul NORTH WES I'ERN RAILWAY.

ARNE.; 4NIF.NT Or THE LONDON AND NORTH WVATEIIN ItAILWAY.-111 consequence of • complaint' from the Loudon and North West,ra Railway Company of over-rutiog. the question was referred, by a committee ap pointed by the parish of St. Pancras, to William Newland NVelshy. who has awarded the assessment as follows: I The land ou which the railway was formed, warehouses, ; daces, de., connected with flied machinery in Boston square. rateable value, 26,0001. • rateable vales by arbitra- I ter, 1.1.A0/. Warehouses, odlot4, and stables, in Oval-road, . rateable value, 1,360/. ; rateable value by arbitrator, 810/. Wharf in Commercial-place, lit by both rating. A ditto in Commercial-pace, 42/. by both rating. The arbitrator I further awarded and adjudged that the company were over rated, and that the sum payable by the company in respect of the ass...meat should bo reduced to the sum of pOB/. to 3d. The sum to be refunded to the company by virtue of the reduction of the assessment will be 5791. 3a. 44.. the amount received from the company being 1,4871.116.7 d. The co:nrnieee of St. Patients met yesterday, and expressed their o sliaus that the decision of the arbitrator was not mtisLciory, and recommended that the assessment be 20. 0312.1it:t rt.i at the next rating.—ln answer to a question beta Mr. Bre ttin3ham the vestry clerk stated that there ~ was no appeal from the arbitration.—Mr. Brettinghain de- ' preestd the practice of referring to individual arbitration at an eno.msous cast as one of the evils of centralisation. The az At coereet and legal mode was to send questions for , irbisn.tiou to the sessions. —Mr. Prendergast was surprised to Ind tit it the arbitrator in this case was counsel to the Illresingions Itailway Company.—After some other re, it was ordered that the report bo received and ,sdopted, and that so much of it as regards the rating be ref: -Nal to the committee. DEM.:Ns FOR THE PEEL STATTE THE CITT bavLig t. in sent in, are now arranged in the Egyptian itml at 0,0 Mansion House, whets they are arWieally Euped. The models are about thirty_in number, chiefly Mr. Daily, 8.A., Mr. Lough, Yr. M'DoweU, Mr. owes M ines , Mr. Calder Marshall, Mr. Defines, and Mr. Week's, some of wisest hate sent three or four designs. The nomination of candidates solicitous to repre sent the interests of the borough of Greenwich in the impe rial parliament, took place this morning at Greenwich. A spacious hustings were erected in front of St. Mary's Church, which was occupied by the respective candidates and their immediate friends and supporters. The town was early astir, the music of bands and the merry peals of the church.bolls heralding in the morning; and all the hustle and excitement consequent on such important proceedings being warmly manifested on the occasion. Shortly after ten o'clock, the rival candidates, Alderman Salomuas and Alderman Wire, ascended the hustings, and were loudly cheered by their respective followen, those of Alderman Salomoas, being ranged under a banner bearing the motto, " Civil and Religious Liberty." The proeed , ings commenced about half-past ten o'clock, by the return ! ins o ffi cer, Mr. Marriss, reading the writ of election to till the vacancy caused in the representation by the demise of the late representative, Mr. George E. Barnard. Mr. PONTEFAX then came forward to propose Alder man Salomons. in the present cue the politics of Moth candidates were the same. (" No" from the friends of Mr. Wire.) Alderman Salmons had previously occupied the position of candidate, and consequently had a prior clams. (Cheers and "No, no.") Ile trusted the result of this election would have the direct of checking the inordinate ambition of Mr. Wire. (Hisses and cheers.) Mr. Wire had had his public services fully rewarded already. He had been common councilman, and was now en alderman. (Cries of " Ile's the people's friend.") Alderman Sale mons was a Jew, but one of most liberal opinions. Ile had built and endowed a school in the district in which ho re sided for the education of protestant children. (Cheers.) Ile was known to be charitable and benevolent; and ou all occasions ( would contribute largely to works of charity and intil K ty r. Ri._ IU eers.) F ssealiMACumisollowel Mom* Bab mono. Mr. JOHN WADE proposed Alderman Wirt, and was received with mingled cheering and " cock-crowing." lie denied that the principles of both candidates were identical. Mr. Wire did not hope for his return from the prejudices entertained against a Jew. Mr. Wire hail done as much as any man to emancipate the Jews. (Cheers.) Ile admitted Alderman Salomon. was a princely man in his charities. (Cheers.) They wanted a man to represent them in Untie rial parliament who would advocate civil and religious liberty, extension of the suffrage, and vote by ballot. Mr. Wire was not legally exceptionable, as was Alderman Salomons, who would be stopped at the portal of the House of Commons, and therefore they should send Mr. Wire for. ward previously to open the doors of the legislature to gen tlemen of Mr.. Salomon's persuasion. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. STONE seconded the nomination of Alderman Wire. There being no other candidate to be proposed, Aid. SALOMONS came forward to address the electors, and was loudly cheered. He was there in consequence of is pledge made by him at the last election, to the effect that whenever a vacancy occurred iu the representation of the borough, he would be proud to seek the suffrages of those who so warmly supported him on the former occasion. He wits deeply pained to fiud himself opposed to Mr. Wire. The principles he would maintain in the :House of Commons were those of free trade in its most extended sense ; ex tendon of the suffrage to every man who paid rates and taxes. (Cheers.) He would uphold the system of the bal lot, if the people determined on its necessity: and would also do every thin, in hie power to ensure the diffusion of education among the masses. (Cheers.) lie was glad to find Mr. Wire was not going to fight his battle on the ground of religious prejudice. The question of religious liberty was then in their hands; and though he felt certain Mr. Wire would advocate the full emancipation of the Jews, yet he would prefer being returned himself, so as to be in a position to fight his own battle. (Cheers.) They might depend on it that, if they returned him, he would devote himself to the fur therance of their local and national interests. (Cheers.) He called on the &rotors to reject the caution given them that he was legally disqualified ; and, he begged to assure them, if they returned him he would proceed at once and take his scat in the House of Commons. (Cries of " How ?" and " When i") If his friend Baron Rothschild bail taken his advice he would have gone to the house and , taken his seat without subscribing any oath; but ho sacri ficed his scat to his politeness. If elected he would go down, take his seat, speak, and vote; and trust to • jury of his countrymen for the consequences. (Cheers.) Alderman WIRE next came forward to address the electors, and was received with uproar and confusion. (Loud cries of " Salomon, keep your rabble quiet.") Mr. SALOMONS came forward and denied they were of his party. (Cries on the platform, "We have seen them paid by his committee." Uproar.) Alderman; WIRE then proceeded—His hon. opponent had vastly improved in political feeling since last he stood before them ; and, indeed, he doubted not if the contest lasted a fortnight there was no extent to which be would not be prepared to advance. lie (Alderman Wire) was not alone in favour of free trade, the ballot, and universal suffrage, but had advocated these questions when they were not fashionable. (Cheers.) Ile denied that Alderman Salomons could accomplish his promise of taking his scat in the house without taking the necessary oaths. lle (Alderman Wire) was a friend to education as well as Alderman Salemons. Ile was also in favour of burity of election, and had come forward independent of ribery and corruption, to rescue the borough from the moral corruption in which it had been plunged. (Cries of "cold water," with cheep and hisses.) Ile would never consent to represent a constituency except as a pure and independent man, on which understanding he hoped to be elected for the borough of Greenwich. (Cheers.) If returned to parliament he would return good for evil, by using every exertion to remove the legal disabilities which excluded gentlemen of Alderman &lemons' persua sion from a seat in the legislature. (Loud cheers.) The retoming officer then called for a show of hands, which, evidently through mistake, he pronounced to be in favour of Alderman Salomon., which declaration excited much excitement and commotion. Oa a second show of hands he rectified the error, by declaring it in favour of Alderman Wire. A poll was then demanded, and agreed to be taken at eight o clock to-morrow morning, and the proceedings terminated. TIIE BATH WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25.—This election terminated this morning by the official de claration of the poll by his Worship the Mayor. Capt.Scobell was escorted by a large number of friends to the hustings, where several thousands of persons soon assembled. Nei ther Mr. Sutcliffe nor any of his supporters attended. The liberal committee last night discovered upon a revision of the votes that they had polled six more than they announced at four o'clock, making the numbers—Scobell, 1,109; Suteliffe, LOW It will be seen by tho declaration below that this statement was correct with the ex ception of one vote more on their own side. The mayor then proceeded to state that thenumber of elec tors who voted for Captain Seobell wee 1,110, and the num ber who voted for Mr. Sutcliffe 1,041—(loud cheers, and cries of " Who was right ")—leaving a majority for Captain Scobell of 69. (Continued cheers.) Ile therefore declared George Trewieke Scobell, Esq., elected a repre sentative in parliament for the city of Bath. Captain Sco bell and several members of his committee having addressed the assembly, the gallant captain wee subsequently drawn round the city in a carriage, amidst the firing of cannon and peals of the abbey bells. The Lords of the Treasury have, at the request of the Board of Ordnance, sanctioned the delivery from the Great Exhibition building of 25 American revolving pistols for the service of the officers of a regiment under orders for the Cape. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—The visitors y did not number more than 68,000, nearly 10, leas than on the previous day. The scene was pleasantly varied by the presence of the crow of the royal yacht in full sailor trim. THE CHICORY FRAIMS.—The following circular, calling attention to the notice given by Mr. Thomu Baring of bringing the subject of the adulteration of coffee with chicory before the House of Commons on the 30th instant, has been published:—" Notice given, the 10th ef June, 1831. 12. Mr. Thomas Baring—' Before going into committee on the Customs Amendment Bill, to move—That it be an instruction to the committee to make provision for preventing the mixture of ! chicory with coffee by the vendors of coffee. The recent discussion on the present system of the adulteration of coffee having, on division, resulted in a majority of . only s—the general feeling in the house being evidently against such fraudulent trading—the continued non-in ' terferener of government, and the unanimous and power ' tai opinion since manifested in the leading daily journal., ; hos induced Mr. Baring, at the urgent request of the lead : keg members of the coffee Made, to place on the business of the house the above notice, with a view of bring ; this subject of complaint again before parliament. Your attention to the question is again most earnestly entreated, the continuance of the treasury order tending to iujure alike the producer, the consumer, and the revenue. It is most emphatically affirmed that no additional supervision lof the excise is in the least degree necessary'; all that is required is that coffee should be placed in the same position ea tea, tobacco, pepper, and other articles paying duty. Home consumption and revenue of coffee for the years : 1847, 37,441,37 31b., 746,4381. ; 1845, 37,108,2921 b., 710,2701.; 1849, 31,431,0741 b., 1143,2131.; 18.30,31,226,8401b.,"666,8221."

The 57th regiment has left Dublin for Kil -1 keenly, to replace the 2nd battalion GOili Rifles, removed to Cork, there to await the &nivel of the ram& to convey the batplion to the Cape. Yesterday the third grand flower show of the season, under the auspices of the Royal South London Floricultural Society, was held at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. It commenced at one o'clock, and was speedily attended by a large assembly of connoisseurs, as well as a considerable number of the general public, drawn together by the combined attractions of the show and the amuse meets of the gardens. The display in the several marquees erected for the occasion corresponded with the advsnee made in the season since the last show, and comprised many specimens worthy of Nsceial attention. Amongst the best specimens were undoubtedly the fancy pelargoniums. The first prize in this dreartment, a largo silver Albert medal, was awarded to Mr. of Battersea, for specimens of a very choice description. The specimens of the ranunculus were exceedingly fine, and their excellences were fully ap preciated by the visitors. The first prize for orchideous plants was obtained by Messrs. Benison and Son, of Toot ing : it was well earned. A device—the horn of plenty — composed of flowers of every hue, gained for the exhibitor an extra prize. There was, as might have been expected, a tempting dis play of strawberries; they were of choice quality and re markable fur size and weight.

TO THE WEST HAM ALMS- Mar 7 Goldthorpe was born at Stratford in the year 1773, at which place her father carried on the bad ness of a tailor and habit-maker. Miss Goldthorpe and her mother, Mn. Ilayte (who died about two years since) executed • deed of gift, the former giving 1,3001., and the latter 1,0001. to the trustees, to pay the interest to the sur visor of them during life, and at their joint demise the an nual proceeds to be given to the inmates of the almshouses belonging to the parish of West Ilam. Miss Goldthorpe devoted the interest arising from the 1,0001., since the death of Mrs. Hayte, to the same laudable object, usually paying periodical visits to the almshouses, and giving the money for such articles es the poor inmate.; appeared to re quire. The residue of Miss Goldthorpe 's property is be queathed to ha relatives, except a few legaei, s to some 'scr eens! friends. The trustees of the bequest were the Rev. A. J. Barn, Vicar of \Wet Ham ; the Rev. C. Nichol!, late Incumbent of St. John's, Stratford; and Edward Vincent, Esq., of Stratford. LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS' FESTIVAL. —On Tuesday evening, the twentytirst anniversary of the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Association was celebrated at the Zoological Gardens in that town; the mayor (J. Bent, Esq.), in the chair. Upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen were present, and a goodly amount of subscrip tions to the charity was announced. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST AN ENIGRATIGN ACIENT.—The Manchester magistrates a few days since investigated a charge against Samuel Saunders, the well known emigration agent, preferred by John Booth, recently returned from America. The offence alleged by Booth was that Saunders bad obtained money from him by false pre tences respecting the quality of some land in a " tine rolling" country, upon which he had paid an instalment. Booth's portion of this "tine rolling" country proved to be a hill which took three hours to ascend. At the close of the investigation Saunders was committed to the assizes for trial, but was admitted to bail on finding two sureties in 501. each, and himself in 1001. It was stated at the Bo rough Court on Tuesday, by Mr. Beawick, chief superin tendent, that he had gone to America, not choosing to stand his trial. Ho had left information with some party that he should not allow his bondsmen to suffer.—Mon dialer Ezamirter. - - - - - FIRE IS GLAStIOW.—Lant (Sunday) night, a fire was discovered in the attic of the store ut connexion with the extensive flax mills of Messrs. Alex. Fletcher and Co., Garaged-road, St. Rollos. Several engines were quickly on the spot, but the endeavours to check the progress of the dames were of little avail, as the whole stock in the store, consisting of dressed and undressed flax, Wes totally con sumed, and the treading, which is four stories in heigkt, burnt to the ground. The store, which fronts the road, is part of a large square of buildings, which arc all but itself tire-proof. Some idea of the extent and nature of the buildings may be formed when we state that no fewer than 1,1110 individuals are employed about the works. The store and its contents, we understand, are partially insured. The fire will nut throw any of the numerous workers out of employment, although it must crone some little delay till a sufficient quantity of flax is substituted for that now de stroyed. As there were no fires or light near the place for a considerable time, the cause of the fire cannot b. at _ours for unless by spontaneous combustion, to which flax is very liable wheu packed close.—Doily Mai'. A POISONOUS LIZARD.—A Short time biDeC., Mr. Charles slumfotd, gunsmith, of Watley, whilst ',ping a pail in a pond adjoining his hour,, felt something !nick his hand, which he found to be a lizard (motocis aro). The wounded part swelling very _much, it was cut out, and has since been cauterised, Mr. Mumfortl remaining una'Ae to use it for a fortnight. It has been generally suppo - ed that this species of lizard, or swift (us it is usually called), is not poisonous. Two instances to the ematrary have, however, occurred, we are informed, in the part of the county above referred to. Some few years since a el.'dl at Watley was bitten by one which bad crawled up its clothes as it was sitting near some furze, and died in consequea..e , and the Rey. P. Salter, formerly sector of Sheudeld, when picking some weeds from a flower in his (anion, was bitten by one, in consequence of which he lust the use of his arm, and never recovered it.—CArldisfori Chronicle. A provoking uncertainty still prevails about tho trip of the North America from New York to Gal way. Yesterday, the directors of the Midland Great Western Railway gave publicity to a letter which n.l they had received from New York, announcing that — 5 O the North America was undergoing some operations as of refitting and decoration, and that it became very in doubtful whether her sailing would take place on ee. the 17th, as previously arranged, or on the 24th. , The good folk of Galway are consequently left in the ! perplexing doubt whether they should look out for 23 the "star-spangled banner " entering the Arran to Sood to-morrow evening, or whether their ex- at. pected visitors benot at this moment still busy with 1 . 1 their preparations on the quays of New York. The ss following is the letter received by the railway 1$ directors : e L ni New York. June 10, 1831.—Gentlemen,—In my letter of at. the ith instant I apprised you of the determination of the to owners of the North America to send that vessel to Galway 23 on the 17th instant. In a conversation, however, which I RI have had this day with some of these gentlemen, I have i; 1 learned that the vessel may not be . quite ready to sail on s t . the day agreed upon. She is being newly painted and 17 decorated, and may not be in exact sailing trim for a few 10 days later. This being the case, I have thought it my duty IN' to give you timely notice. A postponement of the day of e t departure to the 24th instant may possibly occur, though 20 the proprietors do not themselves know but that she may 20 yet be ready to sail on the 17th instant. —I am gentlemen, 30 your obedient servant, DVDLEY i'xiissE: Ili] To the Directors of the Midland Great Western hallway. 10 Notice has been received at the I'ost office in Kt :, Cork that her Majesty's steam vessels Sidon and Is ltetribution, may be expected to sail from that port r o with troops for the Cape of Good Hope about the as. Ist of July, and a mail will bo dispatched by them. t o ) Touching the apprehended scarcity of labourers, to the Eseniny Post makes the following remarkable at statement: We have learned that, at present, the harvest labourers 30 proceeding to England—where the haymaking is in pro- 04.1] gross — are now nearly as numerous as in any previous year. V' During the last week great numbers, chiefly from Con- r naught, proceeded by the steamers from Dublin to Liver pool. On Saturday last four steamers left the North-Wall, ix each carrying the full number permitted by law; but, is II owing to the want of further accommodation, nearly ono Se thousand of those industrious creatures were left behind! This certainly is a startling and significant fact. 20 The Northern Whig has the following account of 20 the harvest prospects:— se Our reports for the past week from the counties of Down, „. Armagh, Londonderry, Tyrone, and Antrim, enable us to 20 state that the crops everywhere maintain the same cheering 22 appearance of health and vigour which they presented the IS week preceding. Barley may be seen in car in several lo- 9 i ealities in the vicinity of Belfast. Oats arc springing up healthy, and promise well. As regards wheat the same may • be said, and we have heard of eases in which, suck is the Ist forwardness of the crop, the car has shot out already. Po- 2e tatoes, especially tho late-sown crops, have suffered some- le thing ' from the piercing north winds in exposed r . situations, on the slopes, along the south shore of the Lough, and on the north sides of hills 00 where the biting winds had full force, the potato 30 leaves ;present a brown and shrivelled appearance. No 23 fears that the crops will be injured to any serious extent le are, however, entertained. New potatoes were, yesterday, it, plentifully supplied in Belfast, and sold at the reduced rate 50 of 2ld. per lb. On Saturday they were as low as 2s. per 20 stone. In Armagh the breadth occupied by green crops sa is much larger than could have been anticipated, and report et speaks favourably of their condition. Orchards have been 23 injured to a considerable extent, and it is feared that fruit will be scarce this autumn, front the present unpromising aspect of tke fruit trees. The grain fields are looking well. In Tyroue it is said that the crops present a very 80 luxurious appearance, and give promise of au abundant ~, harvest, and the same applies to Londonderry except in ex posed places on the coast. anl LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.

The market for the home funds opened at yester day's range, but under the influence of a few buy ings” which have offered, and the continued action of the government broker, who has taken off another parcel of Reduced, an improve ment of 1 per cent. has been established, at which the market is now supported. Business in all classes of stocks is upon a very moderate scale. The settled appearance of the weather and the near approach of the dividend season, when larg amounts of capital will be released, aro circumstancs very favourable to the stability of the market, and upon these considerations parties aro inclined to ground their confidence in the mainte nance of the present high rates, or even a further upward movement whilst the absence of any specu lative movement for a fall would seem to imply that bearing operations are considered to involve too much risk unless in the development of some fresh influence tending to a fall. Consols have improved from 961 to 1 to their pre sent range of 961 to ex div. for the 17th July. The official report of business consists of:—Three per Cent. Consols for the opening, 961, 1, ex div.; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, 1; New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents., 981, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 7.! . ; ditto 30 years, 1859, 74; Bank Stock, 212{. Exchequer Bills rule steady at 435. to 465. prem., with a moderate demand. 1. 4 0 r India Bonds there is uo inquiry. In the foreign stock market the only change is a slight improvement in Spanish, consequent upon the more stable appearance of the ministry. Mexican bonds are flat. The arrangement of the ac count has partially occupied attention, but there is not the least disposition to operate for the 16th of July. The prices of actual bargains are thus reported :—Brazilian New Five per Cents., 1829 and '39, 861, 88. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 921, 931. Danish Five per Cents., 101. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 601, ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 91. French Five per Cent. Rentes, 92f. 30e. Exchange 25.. Le. Mexican Bonds, 34!. Rus sian Five per Cents., 111; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents..lo2l. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201, ditto Passive, 6, 51. The traffic returns on all the chief lime, and most of the minor ones, are now known, and in general fully bear out the favourable anticipations enter tained, although contrasted with a very good week last year. The London and North Western shows the extraordinary increase of 11,0231., this week's receipts being swelled to a certain extent by the extra traffic arising out of the Newton races which fell earlier in the season last year.
