There has been yet not much opportunity for the public expression of opinion here on the subject of the budget. The Freeman, which may be taken as ex pressing that of a large section of the Irish liberals, confesses that it is founded on a free trade basis, although dissatisfied with it for the mode in which Irish interests are dealt with : The general character of the budget, says the Freeman, eonsiits in chopping and changing—taking off times in one directing anl laying them on in another; but in arranging the series of changes which constitute his aleme, the Moines minister seems to have observed for the most part a faithful adherence to the general principles of free trade, and to have endeavoured when removing taxation to unfetter Made, and when imposing new taxes not to impose restric tions on commerce. There are exceptions which principaey apply to Ireland ; hut, nn the whole, the budget must be smardr d as a free trade budget. The scene at the Athlone nomination to-day will be a very exciting one, so much party animosity haring been aroused by the recent attacks made on Mr. Keogh in the tenant league press. It is never theless certain that the popular party in the bo rough is with Mr. Keogh, and his canvass has been on the whole most successful. A section of the to- rice, bat not the most respectable portion of them, will support Mr. Norton, who, as I have already observed, does not possess the confidence of any poh tient party. A meeting of the subscribers to the fund fo. erect ing a public memorial to the poet Moore was held yesterday in Charlcmont House, the Earl of Charle mont presiding. On the motion of the Lord Chan cellor, seconded by Lord William Fitzgerald, the followingreport was agreed to, and resolutions for the carrying it oat were subsequently adopted : A year having elapsed since the appointment of the com mittee, and the subscription being at a stage which requires a decision as to the form and site of the proposed memorial, your committee desire to submit their views in that respect to the consideration of the subscribers. -- ine;;;;sul;cnbecitir;UgiTiour committee up to the preseat time amount to 1,315 i., of which 1,161/. hese hes pall up.

(sr st.sc-ritic TELEGRAMS.) DUMAN. WEDNESDAY EVENING. Krogh and Norton were proposed ; also Reilly, to Tulin a speech. Great excitement prevailed, but no breach o peace. HUDDERSFIELD ELECTION. HUDDERSFIELD, Arum 20. The nomination of candidates took place to-day, in the large epon square contiguous to the r iilway statian, and in front of the new Gem° Hotel. The proceedings otrauleaced at limn, and continued until nearly three o'clock. Bands of music enlivened the town during the morning, and the windows of the houses adjacent to the square were filled with ladies. Tare hire urs art both candi dates, Joseph Starkey, Eeq., and Lord Goderich, were white, party colours being avoided. At the appointed hour, crowds of people thronged into the square, and continued to increase until the close of the proceedings, when there would be nearly 10,000 mrions present. The proceedings passed off with great good hu mour thromhout. Goderich and his supporters were the first to arrive, and thu cheers with which the noble viscount was re ceived clearly showed him to be the popular candidate. Mr. Starkey and his friends came won after from the George Hotel, but the hon. gentleman was received almost in silence. ..... The ltrmaxitio Orrjci't (Thomas Robinson, EN ) basing read the precept commanding him to proceed to tee election of a representative in the place of W. It. C. &out field, Esq., unseated on petition, he took the usual oath, after winch the act against bribery was read at length. These formularies over, tke RETIMNING omi:unasked if Cu, ooe had a candidate to propose. Mr. T. I'. CILOSLAND came forward, amidst cheers and interruptions, to propose Joseph Starkey, Hs+, as a candi date, wet known to all present. He was a townsman, born and bred amongst them, having jumped, as some one hail remarked, from his elegy into his carriage. As a manufac turer he was well qualified to watch over their local inte rests. Mr. Crosland then alluded to personal matters of difference in which he (Hr. Starkey) and Mr. Winans bad been mixed up. Mr. Jotscru WEBB, wool merchant, seconded the no mination. Mr. Wm. W MIAMI, wool merchant, and one of the can didates at the lut election, came forward amidst loud cheers to propose Lord Ooderich, whom ho highly enlo ai.ed as a young nobleman every way qualified to represent the borough in parliament. ile also alluded at some length to the personal matters touched upon by Mr. Crosland. Mr. WRIGHT MELLOR, manufacturer, seconded the nomina.iou of Lord Goderich. Mr. STARICEV then addressed the assembly amidst slight cheering and some interruptions. He declared himself a free trod r, in favour of an extension of the suffrage, sod the ballot. As to the suffrage, he could not say how far it should be extended, but he would willingly vote for those who voted for improvement counninionere being allowed to vote for members of parliament. (Cries of "Yes, six votes to one," being en allusion to the right of owners of oroper) to give a plurality of votes.) lie also avowed himself favourable to an alteration in the mode of voting, by assimilating it to that now in use for the election of poor-law guardians. (Cries of " Leeds guardians," " Look at Leeds," and some interruption.) Lord IiODEILICH was received with loud cheering. Ile spoke at great length in explanation of his political opinions, declaring that, though connected with the ariatacmcy, he had, ever since he thought on the subject, advocated free trade, believing it was unjust to tax the food of the people. He was in favour of an extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, shorter parliaments, and a redistribution of the parliamentary boroughs. Although in favour of household suffrage he should, if returned, support such a measure as he saw there was a probability of being carried. (" hear," and cheers.) He was opposed to all further grants of money from the public puma* for religious purposes, but in favour of extending education to the utmost limit. Al luding to the budget, he pronounced it on the whole as an important measure, worthy of the fame of Mr. Gladstone as a follower of the great Sir Robert Peel. Hi* lordship was loudly cheered throughout his address, which occupied near.y an hour. Mr. Wx. CROSLAND then put several questions to Lord Oodcricb, which were satisfactorily answered by his lord ship. On a show of hands being called for a very small number, not a tenth of the vast audience, were held up for Mr. Starkey; but for Lord Goderich the great bulk of those present were held up, amidst loud and repeated cheerio's. The RETURNING OFFICER said he bad no difficulty what: ever in saying that the show of hands was in favour of Lord Goderich. Mr. T. P. CROSLAND, on behalf of Mr. Starkey, de manded a poll, which wu at ones acceded to, and fixed to tako place this day (Thursday) between the hosts of 8 and 4. . _ _ . _ . . . .. .. Three cheers were then given for Lord Goderich, and after a vote of thanks to the returning officer, the vast as sembly separated. Both parties speak confidently of surren; the contest will be a very close one, and the return of either candidate will not much surprise the other. WESLEYAN DISTURBANCES AT TEADON, NEAR LEEDS.-SHOOTING WITII INTENT TO MURDER. The adjourned hearing of this case came before the West Riding magistrates, at Loads, on Tuesday last, fur final adjudication. The seisions hall of the Court-house was densely crowded with spectator., and the hearing occupied from one o'clock is the afternoon until eleven o'clock at night. There were five magistrates present to hear the case, namelp i l l ohn Blayda , Reg , William Nicholson Nicholson, ~ Rev. J. A. Rhodes, John Wilson, , Rm., and Jo n Wilson, Esq., but only two of them remained to the conclusion of the case. The defen- 30 dents, it will be recollected, were William Starkey, John Starkey, Thomas Mann, John Slater, Joseph Birdsell, and IPL John Sykes, who were charged with maliciously shooting u at Hiram Yeadon on the 13th of March, with intent to murder him or do him some grievous bodily harm. AU the too defendants belonged to the Wesleyan denomination except Sykes, who is a discharged soldier, and the shooting in 50 question arose during • contest for the possession of the n, Chapel-keeper's house, occupied by the defendant Mena. 1,1 At the conclusion of the evidence the magistrates deter mined to commit Sykes and Mann for trial at the next 20 awnres at York, the former for firing the gun, and the latter SO for aiding and abetting him in that act. There was no evidence to implicate the other defendants, who were con. sapiently discharged. Sykes and Mann were admitted to bail for their appearance at the Matti. NEW DECISION OF TUE BOTTLE QUESTION. Yesterday, the legality of the ordinary deficient bottle was in question at the Kensington ses.ions. Mr. Junes Gregg, inspector of weights and measures, preferred • complaint of selling short measure against Mrs. Stout, of the Royal Hotel, Breutford. The inspector went to that house and called for a bottle of Guineas's stout, and after wards verified the deficiency of the quantity supplied by measuring it. Fur the defence it was contended that the words quart or pint bottle, as applied to the sale of beer, were merely conventional terms, the meaning of which mast be sought in the daily use of those who employ them. The bottles supplied were the quart and pint of every day parlance and the practice of daily life—jus of worm; lo quendi—jastitied the defendant from the charge. The chairman of the magistrates, Mr. R. Tubb., took a similar view of the case. He considered tho words quarts and pints I were only conventional terms, which for a long time had been acquieteed in by the public. There was no law to compel a publican to use either pints or quarts, for he might point to such • vessel and say that when filled it is 3d., 2d., or 14., and it would then rest with the purchaser whether he had it or not. On the same principle it was not necemary for a baker to sell any particular weight of bread, but be might tell his customer that that was a 2d., 3d., or other loaf, as t►e eue might Ise. The information was then dismissed by • majority of 3 to 1. The decision excited a great deal of surprise. DEPARTURE OF TILE AMERICAN MAILS. —yes terday afternoon, about four o'clock, the United States Mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock. sailed from .he Mersey fur New York, with the usual mails, a fair number of passengers, and a large cargo of merchandise on freight. Amongst the cargo carried out ,by the Baltic were several packages from the continent for tho New York Exhibition. l'rior to her departure, copies of the Daily News of yester day were placed on board by Messrs. Willmer and Smitb, of Liverpool, fur the press and news-rooms of the western continent. CHICORY Nesterday the Court of Inland Revenue was engaged for several hours in hearing charges against grocers, for violating the recent Treasury order forbidding the sale of coffee and chicory mixed toge ther, unless under a label informing the purchaser of the fact of mixture. The court inflicted small penalties in about twenty casts, but intimated that after the notice the law would be put in full force against offenders. The full penalty is lOW. LONDON AND EDINBURGH OAZETTES.—Yesterday a g mernment bill was printed to consolidate the London and Edinburgh Gisettes. The reason is the great expense at present unnecessarily incurred by reason of the separate publication and management of the two Gazettes. After the passing of the bill, the Gazette, to be called " The London and Edinburgh Gazette," is to be published in London, with a:permanent agency in Edinburgh. SMOKING IN THE NAVY.—A large amount of in dignation has been excited among the naval officers at Portsmouth, especially those who a►e partial to cigars and tobacco, by the promulgation by Captain Shepherd, of the Victory, flagship, of an order prohibiting all smoking on board that ship by officers. Toe order is confined to officers —seamen, marines, and petty and warrant officers being still left to indulge in the " weed." SHARE LISTS. WEDNESDAY Itrairnto. The railway market to-day was stagnant and rather depressed in tone. Speculation in this de partment has become ea limited that the " bulls" arc discouraged, and are gradually closing or diminish ing their accounts ; but thew is no present supply of real stock pressing upon the market. Prices are easily affected by and• change in Consols. At the final close of the market the general tone was firmer. Quar terly Pre. IMO= f A d: THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK. Business is almost 'at a stand-still in the railway market, which maintaics a very dull appearance. Prices of nearly all stocks remain the same as yes terday, but the tendency is not favourable, French shares are drooping, except South-Easterns, which have again improved to to prem.

We also hear of transactions in Dines Great Copper Mine at 41 to 3 prem., and King ArthurCon sols at 1 prem. The gold mining shares were rather cheaper from the absence of demand, but without any change of much moment. The Californian companies retain comparative firmness. Peel River fell to 4/ to 5 prem., but rallied in the afternoon, and finally closed ol to 5Z prem. On the whole, prices were a shade firmer at the close. At four o'clock Colonial gold were quoted 1 13-16 to 1 15.16 ?rem. ; Port Phillip, 1-16 to 3-16 prem. ; Agua Iris, 1 7-16 to 1 9-16 prem. • Anglo-Californian, Z to / prem. ; British Australian, Zto I prem. ; Nouveau Monde, 1 9-16 to 1 11-16 prem ; and Great Nugget Vein, 1/ to / prem. Australian Freehold and Lake Bathurst arc heavy. Shares of the Jamaica Copper Mining Companies are generally firmly supported. There were a good many transactions to-day in the shares of the Sue River Mining Comptuiy, a new association formed for the work►ng of a mine in Jamaica ; and at the close there were buyers at 3 prem. It is understood that no public subscription list will be opened, but that the shares will be alloted privately. The ad vance in Mexican and South American shares is well supported. The non-official closing quotations are :—Ans traltusiau Coal, a dia. to a preffi.; New South Wales Coal, a dia. to par; Port Hunter and Moreton Bay Coal, k dia. to k prem.; Mount Carbon Coal, par to a prem. ; London and Liverpool Australian Gold Mining and Streaming, par to k prem.; Mel bourne Gold, ato per share ; Australian Mutual, dis. to par; Australian Consols, dis. to par; Monarch Gold, a die. to par; Chartered Australian Land and Mining, a, I per share ; Worthing (new shares), I to a die.; Lewis Hill Range, a to a dis. ; New South Wales Gold, a to k prem. ; Gar nett and Moseley, Ito 1 prem.; Golden Mountain, to I per share ; La Pernvienne, a die. to a prem.; Lake Superior Copper, a dis. to a prem. ; Cey lon Lane and Mining, par to k prem. ; Brucutu Gold, par to k prem. ; Feather River Land and Gold, par to prem. ; Gladbach Zinc, 1 to 1j prem.; Pontgibaud Silver Lead, par to I prem. ; Chalanches Silver, tto f prem. ; Cologr e Lead, par to prem.; New Linares, par to a prem.; South Devon Consols, par to a prem. ; Tre gurtha, Ito prem. ; Mizen Head, par to 1 prem.; Carberry West, a dis. to k prem. ; Connemara, par to k prem. ; Glenanlin, a die. to par ; Sulphate of Barytes, 1, 4 per share ; Irish Gongola, par to 1 prem. ; Perran Wheal Alfred, a to prem. ; L'Aigle d'Or, dis. to par; Adelaide Land and Gold, to dia. ; Portland Iron, par to aprem.; Knockatrellane Copper, par to a prem.; Metcalfe Mining Company of Jamaica, 161 to 171 prem.; Jamaica Copper, 51 to 51 prem.; Port Royal and St. Andrew's Copper, 31 to , 1 4 prem.; Liguanea, 11 to 2 prem. ; Brazilian Diamond and Gold, par to I prem.; Britannia Gold, ato a per share; Poltimore, a to / prem.; Kenmare, 2 to 1 prem. ; British and Colonial Smelting and Reduc tion, 1 to I prem.; Great Hewes United Tin, par to prem. ; Respryn Copper, a to a prem.; Suo River (ot Jamaica), 21 to 31 prem.; Parkwyn and Carwal sick Tin, a to 2 prem.; Burns Creek Gold, a dis. to par.; South Cork Copper, a die. ton prem. THIS DAY—Two o'CLocx. The gold mining shares remain extremely quiet, and in the absence of business a drooping tendency is still perceptible. There is, however, little change in prices. Australian Geld Mining mark 3 prem. only, and British Australian prem. Australian Agriculturals have receded to 80 to 82, and Peel River to 41 to 3 prem. Nova Scotia Copper Mining shares have fallen 11., being quoted only 3 to 1 prem. South Australian Land shares are weaker. Cicada 13,alass No. ta. re Maas.

The English stock market was again flat ti,-Jay, and the tendency of prices was still downwards, al though we have no real further decline to record. Consols were sold to some extent at 1004 for cash, but at the close the feeling was just a shade better, the closing quotation being 1001 for money, and 1001 to 4 for the 12th of May. The market remains well supplied with money stock, and business is in a great measure suspended, pending the debates on the budget and on the Commutation Bill now in progress through the House of Commons. In commerzial cir cles generally, the favourable impression produced by the budget, considered as a whole, has strengthened to-day, and strong hopes are expressed that parlia mentary sanction will be secured for it. The flatness appears to be mainly induced by the impression which is prevalent in many quarters that the Irish party will vote with the opposition against go vernment, leading to apprehensions of a dissolution of parliament. It is whispered, however, in quarters usually well informed, that sales of stock have been made by members of the old tory party, who arc dissatisfied with the budget as affecting the landed interests. It is stated that these sales aro made with a view to weakening the funds, and thus damaging the government at a time when its financial proposi tions arc in suspense. The National Debt Commis sioners broker made his usual investment in Reduced Threes, on account of the Sinking Fund. Annexed Is the official business report :—Three Fer Cent Consols, for money, 1004, ;-„ 4,1, ; ditto, for amount, 1004, 3, N. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1091 i z, a, 1, 103,1.

The June bills mark 3s. to 9s. prem., and the March 4s. to Bs. prem. In the foreign bond market business was generally limited. Spanish stocks closed weaker, the Deferred being last quoted 24 to 1 only. The Certificates, after maintaining their price well in the morning, closed 6 , t, to 7 per cent., being a considerable reduc tion. The unsettled appearance of politics at Madrid appears to be the cause of this decline. In consequence of a market attempt to depress Mexican Bonds, the price fell to 271, but rallied before the close, and left off 274 to 1. The selling of this stock has chiefly proceeded from late operators for a rise, who are realising profits. Ecuador Bonds are firmly . sup ported at 61 to 65, and Peruvian Deferred maintain their advance to 67 to 5. Peruvian Scrip closed 31 to 4 prem.; Granada Deferred, 113 to 3; and Greek Bonds, 81 to 9. Russian Fives were pur chased at 120. Sales are thus marked : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1003 ; ditto Four and-a-Halt' per Cents., 1852, 994. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 633.

Spanish Old Three per Cents., 481, 5, 48; ditto Deferred Three per Cents., 24; the Committee's Certificates, 71, 71, 7 per cent. The Ballarat was announced this afternoon as having arrived at Falmouth from Melbourne, with 73,000 ounces of gold, worth 292,000/. The dates brought by this vessel extend to the 6th January, and are consequently three days later than those pr• viously to hand. Australian Agricultural shares fell to-day to 79, I but this low range provoked purchases, and at the final close the quotation was 8.3 to 86. Other land shares were generally flatter. At four o'clock Bri tish Amencan Land were quoted 79 to 80; South Australian, 484 to 495; Van I)iemen's, 191 to 201; and Scottish Australian Investment, 1 to 14 prem. All the Australian Bank shares were heavy, and lower. The shares of the Southampton Dock Company have been done at 39 ; East and West India Docks, 163, 164; London Docks, 126; St. Katherine Docks, 1005, 100; Victoria Docks (41. paid), ; ditto, Now (21. paid), 45,1 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 82; Royal Mail Steam, 74. Shares of the Grand Central of France Railway left off at 21 to 21 prem. It is expected that the allotment of these shares will take place almost immediately. North of Spain Railway shares arc out of favour, owing to the unsettled state of affairs at Madrid, but are quoted 1 to j prem. ; Berlin Waterworks shares aro quoted tto „ prem.; Mel bourne Docks and Railway, 1-16 die. to 1-16 prem. ; Wiesbaden and Cologne, 1 dis. to par; Royal Danish Railway, 3to 31 prem.; Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, 11 to 11 prem.; Toulouse and Foix Railway, to 5 prem. Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Reuter's telegraphic ex press :—Amsterdam, Tuesday : Dutch Four per Cents., 95;; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 611 ; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 241; ditto Three per Cents. foreign, 47 ; ; the Coupons, 71 per cent. ; Granada Deferred, 111 ; Mexican New, 27 3-16; Portuguese New, 394 ; Austrian Five per Cent. Sletallics, 81 7-16. Vienna, Tuesday : Five per Cent. Metallics, 94 7-16; Exchange on London, 10.50. The Paris Industrie of the 16th inst. has a promi nent article upon the new North of Spain Railway, two-filths of the capital for which arc to be raised in France. Paris letters have already mentioned that the subscription list of the company has been rapidly filled up, and the object of the writer appears to be the placing before the French public of a de- tailed statement of the nature and prospects of the line. Considerable attention has been drawn to the project in the French market, owing to the guarantee of 7 per cent. per annum (including 1 per cent. sink ing fund) granted by the Spanish government and bf the provinces and communes thruugh which the line is to pass. On the continent it would appear there is scarcely the same absence of reliance on Spanish faith as has been induced here by the oft , shown dishonesty of that government. THIS DAY—Two o'CcocK. The English stock market is a shade better to-day. but business is remarkably quiet. Consols have rallied to 1001 to' ' fir MIIICV, and OD: : : to foe the 12th May.

STRIKES AND RISE OF WADES IN WALEs.-- Nearly all the trades in South Wales have followed the movement initiated by the English operatives for an ad vance in wages; and where such addition has been refused, general recourse has been had to the "strike." In some cases this has been successful, and the masters have been obliged to accede to the wishes of the employed, whilst, on the other hand, in many instances, it has been unavailing, the employers preferring to obtain fresh hands, rather than comply with the conditions proposed. Th 3 shoemak. re in particular seem very generally to have met with the desired advance, which, in some instances, has been as much as 2,5 per cent. Thin has been establiaLed throughout Merthyr Newport, Caerphilly, Abergavenny, eke. 7he painters also have had a rise of 10 per cent., and carpenters and masons have also benefited.
