The short period of time which has again intervened between the despatch of the last and the present mails, coupled with an unusually dull market, lies limiting the amount of transactions which we have to record, and our remarks thereon must, consequently, be unavoidably brief. Our Escort Market has ranained inanimate aid dull, and the business doue has Neutrally been on a restricted scale. In sugar the transactions have been very moderate with drooping prices. which, nevertheless, still exceed those of the London market as quoted in our ast odvices. Haw silk has only been in moderate demand. Stlk piece goods have been quiet, and oar the descending scale. Saltpetre has been in (taxi inquiry, although the amount of business recorded has not been great. The exports of rice are pro• seeding on a fair scale to Great Britain and the Mauritius. Len dye and shell lee are also in fair inquiry. The market fns safilower is animated. Hides are still in very moderate request. Oil seeds continue to attract attention. Jute is comparatively neglected. Our import market has undergone no improvement, and still remains depressed. The accounts from the upper pro vincie are of a discouraging tenor, and the husines in pro-: press here is chiefly intended for local requirements. The demand has been principally directed to 3P and 40-inch greyshirtings and gn y jocconets, and also to the low and medium qualities of white lacconets, for all of which a mo derate demand exists. With the exception of diagonal lappets and Japan spots, for which some little inquiry exists, all sorts of Glasgow fabrics are neglected. Mule twist has been selling more freely, but at unimproved prices. The sales of red twist have been woolly confined to Oermans, no British yarn having been sold for some time past. Metals are looking up, and in a good position. Iron has advanced 1 to 2 amiss per md. The demand fur bills has been very small, and the rate of exchange has, consequently, been tending upwards. At going to press, we could scarcely call it fixed for the mail, but credit bills could be got at 2e, and documents I to e 1 140 alteration worth mentioning has occurred in the rates of freight, which remains much about our last quotations. The money market is very plentifully supplied. Loans are offered at from 4 to 6 per cent. on good securities, and the rate of interest is likely to go lower as capitalists can not find full employment for their funds. Bank of Bengal shares have realised 6,700 each, and all good joint-stock shares are firm.

Mr. W. 0. MAXWELL, in the absence of the irl of Soaftesbury, was called to the chair. T . ie report of the committee fur the past year was read. After giving a favourable picture of Om progress of the charity during the yell., it recommended an extension of the accommoda tion afforded by the refuge. Twenty lads had been lodged, boarded, and educated, the average duration of whose stay was nine months; in most cases they bad been sent, as occasion offered, to the colonies, apprenticed to the sea, or otherwise provided with situ:diem in the colonies. Eight had been sent to Australia, four to Canada, three into the nurchant !service as apprentie c, and three as domestic ser vants. One was apprenticed to a shoemaker; three only had left of their own accord. Most satisfactory reports had been received from those who were sent to the colonies. Twelve young men and boys had been sent out r emigrants, six by the funds of the 'togged School I:nion end six by private subscription, their outfits having been liberally provided for from the funds at the disposal of the committee. The total number sent out amounted to 78. The program of the industrial school was also satisfactory ; the products of the industry of the children W.ll disposed of as occasion offered. The report spoke favourably of the progress made in the day and evening school. The committee acknowledged the liberal support gives by the Ragged School Union. The Shoe-black Society had worked satisfactorily, and la had been received from their exertions. The receipts during the year amounted to 6821., the expenditure to 6851.7 s. The debts and liabilities of the committee amounted to 1./W., and they earnestly soli cited the siapprt of the charitable to clear eff this amount.

William O'Brien Fitzgerald, alias William Bennett &then, underwent his trial for obtaining various sums of money to the extent of 1470 i. from a gentleman named Payne, a solicitor at Dover, under fraudulent pretences. The cage excited very great interest, and amongst those on the bench was the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle. The prisoner had the appear ance of a foreigner, sad was well attired. His wife claimed the title of Lady Emily Fitzgerald, and represented that she was the widow of Count Eltz—that her mother was related to the ninth duke of Norfolk, and her name was Lady Ann Isabella Howard, and that her father was General William O'Brien Fitzgerald, of the Guards. Such statements were false. The prisoner was formerly a member of the Stuck Lacking.. Some four or five years ago the prosecutor was residing with his children at Eyethorne, and while there he became acquainted with the pri-oner and his wife, la the course of last August ho tee, seed a letter from them. Both were confined in a pri son at Pau, in the south of France, at the base of the Py renees. The latter stated that they had fallen into an aw ful predicament, from the negligence of their agent, who had failed to remit them 3,000“ ; that they had the misfor tune to loss 1,800 francs on their journey ; and that about 4001. would s.:t the in right. The prosecutor proceeded to the continent, and found them prisoners, as they had de scribed, in the prison of Pats. He took instructions front them there as to their family connexions. They stated that Linty Emily wee the daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir William O'Brien Fitzgerald, formerly of the Guards, fie., and that they were known to the Reel of Carlisle and the Duke of Sutherland. The Sutherland children, she said, visited her mother's, but, in consequence of their marriage not being sanctioned by Lady Emily's parents, the friendly intercourse with the Sutherland family had fallen Lady" Emily added that her husband's soother was the Princess Camaglioni. They had been conhned in prison more than twelve months, having been denounced as swindlers. Finding they were suf fering great misery, prosecutor paid 4.101. for their debts, and 2401. as security to the Court of Appeal for their ap pearance when required. Ile pleaded for them at the Court of Appeal and obtained their liberty. Ile then brought them to Dover, and supported them. They then asked the prinecutor for 40/. to go to the north of England to see some relations, when they would soon get some money I from them to repay him. The money was advanced, they went away, and nothing more was beard about them. Their reprisentations about being connected with high families and their agent were discovered to be untrue, and in the I coarse of some wren or eight months they were splice. heeded at Barnard Castle, near Durham. In the prisoner's hoe was a letter Elated July, 1850, from the Earl Powie to Lady Emily, which had contained loot. sent to their relief. The Right lion. the Earl of Carlide gave evidence that his family were unacquainted with the prisoner or his wife, and that their representation of being related to the Nor folk family was perfectly false. hlr. Addison addressed the jury for the prison, r, and the Recorder having summed up the jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner said he was innocent of the charge Ile could have put WI PP questions to the noble lord who had been examined which would hare readily acquitted him of false representations, but he refrained from doing so for the sake of Ludy Emily's family. The prisoner was sentenced to transportation for seven years. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ATLESBURY.—Mr. Houghton being fairly out of the field fur Aylesbury, the two liberal and two Wry em di dates face each other M straight lines. The Wry agents speak of a triumph ; the liberal agents calculate upon the defeat of their opponent. The real truth lies in this, that there will be a hard struggle, and throughout the whole of the new elections in the country, no hattic•ground will he mihe exciting and instructive than that which Aylesbury and the hundred.' are doomed to wituens.—Aylesbury Newt. AsIITON UNDEIt-LYNK.—There is no show• of oppo sition to the sittin4 member, Mr. Charles Hindley, anti there is tio doubt that he will " walk the course." BuiuutoN.—There• is rt liberal rock n-head in this woo. For whilst Brighton can only elect twoliberal OWN- Wes to parliameht, thrro lire three liberal competitors for the two seats. First and foremost there is Capt. l'echell ; and he, of course, 1144 claims on the united and energetic support of the party that cannot he fairly disregarded. Next comes Mr. Trelawney, who formerly represented •lbvistuck ; and last of ell, Mr. Fluoks, a b.ewer, trom Dor se;•hire. Now, if all these three go to the poll, the chances arc that turd Alfred lferrey, though a Derhyite and ■ TrAtarian, wi.l be returned fur Brighton. Whereas, if one of the two taet•narrrrd gentlemen were only to retire with a good grace, and the liberal party ',bring all dui cower and strength to ! , ear in support of Capt. Beckett and Nee rein riving lib ral, Brighton, to a certainty, will be properly rim...tutted in the next parliament. Who, then, ought br retire Mr. Trelawney or Mr. Harks? After fairly and impartially looking into the facts of the ease, we have no doubt that retirement is the latter's rim vial duty ; rod fir these reason,. In the first place, no one in Brighton knows anything of Mr. Ffooks ; his ap pearavee there was a surprise ; he is nut an invited candi date ; he is not a politician having any public character to justify or camss his in•rusian; aid he has only received sufficient encouragement an support to be mischievous to the liberal cause, by dividing it, without giving him the ghost of a chance of success. On the other baud, Mr. Trelawney is a gentleman of considerable parliamentary experience.; a liberal of established reputation ; a public man, in shrift, whose career attracted the voluntary atten tion of the leading Brighton liberal,, and who comes forward at their request, and :in support of whose pre tensions the great bulk of the party arc agreed. INC lIA Witte E.-1 lie Aylesbury News says : " The county, by all amiont._ , , is to remain unmolested, ex cept the candidature of Dr. Lie may he taken is a molesta tion. There will be a poll, unquestionably, fur Dr. Lee mesins to light it cut against Dupre, Disraeli. and CAVell• dish; noel so, of c 001..., there will be craw. voting and mos tiring. There are some persons des?erataly annoyed at Disraeb and fully believe ho is a sham, and therefore will vote ed. the other three candidates. There are other voters very much displeased ut the inexorable whigism of Cavendish, and will seek to displace him by voting for Leo. Vie good old tories, whatever may happen, will stick to Dupre, because he consistently addr.ases them in tory hue guage. 'lat. upon the whole. we recta to think that the county nomination and poll will he a sham : there is no fair and open fight fur principles, nod uo result is impending to which the notion eaulook forward with interest. BUCKINGHAM (BOROUGH). Ike Marquis of Chanties and Cul. John Hull, the present mcmtivn , , have issued addresses to their constituents, soli • 'lag the honour of re-election. They pledge their zeulous support to the present ministry. BIRNITNOIL%3I.—Mr. SehoWield issued his address ou Saturday. In the course of it the hon gentleman says : " I need not recapitulate the opinions I entertain on the leading questions uhich engage the attention of parliament. My recorded votes an favour of every m e asure which was calculated to enlarge the franchise and protect its exercise— to extend the limits of free trade—to enforce a rigid eco nomy of the public finances—and generally to promote the cause of good government and the security of our liberties, whether civil or religious—will he, I hope, the best testi mony I can adduce. Deeply impressed with the value of ' those institutions which, with all their defects have contri buted so much to the freedom and independence' of this country, I have neglected no means which I thought could improve their fonn or extend their usefulness. Above all, I have never lost sight of that dogma of my political creed, that a hearty and unreserved trust in tho people is the surest guarantee for their loyalty and patriotism. ' BRECON.—The iterVOrti Times says n conserva tive candidate has at but crone forward to oppose our pre sent borough member—Colonel Wads ns The candidate is Mr. C. Mogan, the shiest son of Sir C. M. IL. Morgan, of Trrdegar. A very persevering can VOSS has been carried on by both parties, and from the SUCCIII of each we may expect a very hard fought contest. Already the town bears the aspect of 1832, and the greatest excitement pre vails among the electors. The colonel's supporters appear to have esery hope of success, and the majority, if a poll be demand. d, will not he large on either side.—Mr. J .seph I;ailey. the present county member, has issued his addr,u, but there is uo prospect of his being opposed. - - BODMIN.—There are now seven candidates for the representation of this small borough. Boar.—The opposing candidates, Lord Duncan and Mr. Frederick r. el, continue untirig.gly to solicit the sweet voices of the POO electors; and although one of them must, by this time, have a suspicion of his fate, there is no probability of avoiding a contest. BOLTON.—There are four candidates. Mr. Blair, the present Derbyite candidate, and Mr. Peter Ainsworth. formerly a protectionist, but who now offers oa free trade and liberal principles, together with Mr. Thomas Barnes, cbsirman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany, and Mr. Crook, both liberals and free-traders. Brunoxotern.—A warm contest for the represen tation of this borough is now fully expected. Thomas Charlton Whitmore, E.q., who has been returned for this town for upwards of twenty years, having expressed his intention of retiring from its representation at the next election ' Henry Whitmore Esq., has come forward in the place of his brother. Sir Robert Pigot, one of the present members, is again in the field. The free•teade and liberal party have brought forward the Hon. Frederick Cedogan to solicit the suffrages of the electors on the whig side. Mr. Whitmore and Sir Robert are stanch conservatives and protectionists. The cinemas on all sides is a vigorous one, and the struggle will be hard, no doubt. Jtairordshire Advertiser. COLCIIEATER.—WC learn from a correspondent that some serious differences have sprung up amongst the conservatives of Colchester, on religious grounds, and have resulted in the introduction of a third conservative candi• date. It has been for some time past understood that at the forthcoming general election the support of the conser• votive party should be given to Lord John Manners, one of the sitting members, and Mr. W. IL Hawkins, a gentleman ' of property, residing in the neighbourhood. Circumstances have occurred within the last few weeks, which have created a great breach between the evangelical portion of the constituency and the high church party, to which Lord John Manners belongs. In order to defeat Lord John Manners, the evangelical party addressed Mr. IL T. Prin. sep, an }last India director, and that gentlemen, in reply to their application, has consented to be put in nomination, and to sit fur the borough, if elected, but will take no active measures to secure his return. DEVONPORT.—The mutest here will, doubtless, be very severe. Many persons who, at former elections, have supported the liberals will, in the coming contest, vote for the conservatives. Thu great cause of this is government influence ' the town being almost wholly dependent upon the dockyard and government establishments, and the strong feeling which prevails against the grant to Meynooth. DUDLEY.—Mr. Benbow, Lord Ward's tory agent and trustee, has issued his address, soliciting a renewal of confidence, and it is feared there is little chance of his being successfully opposed. His lordship gives his countenance to the free trade candidate for the county and for Kid• derminster; to the protectionists for this borough and Bewdley. DswrmouTit.—lt in believed clay. a correspon dent) by persons who ought t o b e we I-animated that the shipowner will beat the Lord of the Admiralty at this place. EAST CORNWALL.—During the past week Mr. Robartes, the liberal candidate, has viutsd most of the towns in the division. Everywhere he has been received with the utmost enthusiasm ' and it is confidently antici pated that he will be placed at the head of the poll. Mr. Pole Carew, and Mr. N. Kende% the ministerial candi dates, have net yet held many meetings, but the joint com mittee is making an active canvas on their behalf. It is considered very doubtful which of the two will be selected. Mr. Roberta on Saturday met a large number of the elec tors at Liskearts. He was received by tome thousands of the miners of the district, with bawls of music and banners, and an imposing procession paraded the Streets of the town. His speech was applauded by some 10 or 12 thousand per sons on the Castle-green. EYE (Scrrout).—A correspondent states that Sir Edward Kerrison has intimated to the electors that in con sequence of his advanced years he shall retire from parlia mentary life at the close of the present session. Simul taneously with this declaration on a dd ress has been issued by Mr. Edward C. Kerrison, in which, while offering him self as a candidate, he says he is a conservative opposed to all violent changes. No opposition to Mr. Kerrison is yet announced. EAST SUSSEX. —Mr. Frewen has put forth a second address. to the lectors of E.xst Susses, in which he says:—" Befure I arrived at 144 wee, on Tuesday (where I was tint expected), some resolutions bail been drawn up by several gentlemen pledging themselves to vote for my excel lent colleague, Mr. Fuller, and myself, and inviting the electors generally to join with them hi signing their names to these resolutions. If the majority of the electors should signify to me by this means that they are prepared to re cord their votes in my favour, it will be my duty to g•ve them the opportunity of d o i ng so . If, on the other hand, this paper is only signed by a minority of the electors, how ever flattering I may consider their expressions of opinions with reference to myself, I shall most probably withdraw from the field, and not give them tee trouble of going to the poll." This is tantamount to retiring from the eon ' test. Mr. Frcwen know, well enough that the majority of the electors will sign no such re so l u tion. Mr. Dodson'e CRUM is prosressing. In the towns he will poll 3 out of 4, and even in agricultural districts like Rye he has made a favour able Impression. Connected with the land, the farmers feel that he is one of them, whilst his University career be. speaks him " a g en tle man an d a scholar . " —Brighton Herold. FLINT.—A short time aim (says a correspondent) Edmund Peel, of Ilryn-y-Pys, near Wrexham, issued an address to the electors of the Flintshire boroughs, *toting his intention to contest the coming election with Sir John Ilisnmer, the present member. lie has, however, lately turned his attention to the county, and now offers himself in opposition to the lion. E. M. L. Mostyn. Ile is in heart a protectionist, but his friends and canvassers pri sent him to be of different opinicns according to the polities of the electors upon whom they ;all. Mr. Mustyn is, buwevi r, sale ; there is nut the slightest doubt of his return. Richard Pelham Warren, Esq., of Mold, has Wk. - n the place which Mr. Peel vacated, and states in his address to the horough electors that he is a conservative, and n decided supporter of Lord Derby's goveriantent. 110NIION.-I • he electors of this borough have to decide bi tweets the claims of the two tree-trade candidates, Sir W. Mega and Mr. Lucke, and a protectionist aspirant I for senatorial honours in the person of Richard Sommers I Gard, E b q ,of 'Liege:mint Castle. Easter, who has a good deal of prunerty in the borough, and consequently sonic I little influence. A great drat of excitement prevails in the town, the candidates having recess ly 'wenn, alously engaged in canvassing the Oil tors. It is conlidentiy asserted that the ' , resent tut milers will he again re-eletted. 111G11 WSTOMBE is in a state of very great excite went—more so 'than usual in that quiet trirotaith.

Wilson l'atten has, itt a wry lengthened speech, announced his intention of again hemming a candidate for the representation of this division at the ensiling alit-ion. Ile is a conservative, but in favour of fres trade, and has represented this division 1,4 six SIICC , SIite parliaments. LURIA/W.-- Lord William Powlctt has istsued an address, and is esiivassing the town us a moderate conserva tive. There is also a rumour all eat that the present con servative member, Mr. 11. ii.

This is the rumour, but how far it is collect we arc unable to deteratine.—NhropsAire Chronicle. LAUNCESTON.—AumitaI Bowles retires to make a scat for Mr. Jocelyn Percy. NoUTII NoUnIUMBEIMAND.—Accounts from all parts of the division concur its assuring us that Sir George Grey's canvass continues to be most successful. The two tory !mils are fa, Irons prepossessing in their address. Lord Ou,ulston, indeed, iv entirely speechless; and Lord Lovaine is not (4,1 elated, either by his principles use his manner, to conciliate the independent electors. W e use the word independent advisedly, for we are informed that at no previous demi tttt Las every speciia of coer cion and intimidation been more unsparingly em ployed by tory lai.illords and their agents, those too wellknown instruments of heartless tyranny. We know how painfully some of that respectable class, the tenant farmers, arc eirculustanced iu this respect; but they must recollect that they have at this moment a distinct and certain duty to discharge; end, if they suffer from giving an Imm-stand independent vote,they will have the approbation of their own consciences, sods right to the sympathy and good offices of every liberal-minded Mal/ iu every party. Leery North Northumberland election has been followed by the accession of numerous converts to the ballot; and the pre sent proceedings will no doubt add to the number.—A ew castle. S'Arunicle. _ _ Esentt (says our correspondent) : I is still holding meetings, and his speeches are listened to by vast masse, of ( lectors and non. electors. Ile is supported by the most extreme class of liberals and most of the dis senters. Mr. Collier is surrounded by a large malign rof the personal friends of the family and liberal electors. Mr. Drente has the countenance of the leaders and many of the party by whom Lord Ebrington was supported at former elections. Mr. Roundel' Palmer is encouraged and sup. ported by the magnates of the old tory party and a great number of personal friends and admirers. Mr. Charles Mare is the man of the protestant ariti-Maynooth section of the electors, awl the devotees of the commercial interest of the port from all parties and shad( sof politics. What is to be the result of this most strange medley it is impossible to predicate. ItornDALE.—No opposition has yet shown against Mr. Miall, and as the linersls arc very united, he will pro bably be elected without opposition. STOCK PORT.—Thcre will be a hard contest here. Mr. James Kershaw, one of the present liberal members, is unoptaused, but Mr. Heald, Derbvite, will have a thtticulty, it is thought, to retain his seat against Mr. J. B. Smith, the other free trader. SAISOUD.—Mr. Joseph Btotherton's old anta gonist (Mr. li. Garnett) has " made no sign," and the re • turn of the hon. gentlomen will probably be unopposed. SOUTRAMPION.—A paper was taken round to all the voters M the Ordnance dap-office, et Southampn.n, on Friday, with a n quest from the heads a the department that such as intended to vote fur the government .andidates would put the let'er "U " opposite to their names! Of course we cannot tell what is the exact meaning of this move, hut, whatever it may be, only eight or nine "O's" were obtained out of about sixty rotors. Much speculation is afloat as to the meaning of this new method of canvassing. —Hampshire Independent. SOUTH DEvoX.—Tho report as to the elevation of Sir John Yards Buller, Bart., M.l' , to the House of Lords has been contradicted. Had this report been true no doubt there would have been a contest in this division. SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—The requisition to the High Sheriff to call a county meeting having been pre sented to him on Wednesday last, that officer has fixed Tuesday next, the 2fith lost„ at IlexCam, for the meeting. It now therefore rests with the electors themselves to prose cute the movement so auspiciously commenced. Mr. Beau mont will of course be proposed as one of our future repre sentatives. We cannot pretend to say ou whom the other choice of the county meeting will fall, but we believe that most suffrages seem likely to uuiu• in favour of George Ridley, Esq., brother of Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart., a gentleman intimately connected with the county, and well fitted to conciliate the votes of all classes of the electors. \%e have authority to state that Mr. Itidley's name will be proposed to tho meeting, and we duubt nut that that gentleman, if called on, will he prepared to take the field. As we trust he may soon appear before the electors in his own person, it would be presumptuous in us to otter any specific Mitte -1 meats as to the hon. gentleman's opinions, but we can assure the liberal electors that they will be much more open and decided than those of Mr. H. 0. Liddell, and that in Mr. Ridley they will meet with a man in every respect well fitted to represent them. Mr. Ridley inherits the old constitutional opinions of his family, and is in un compromising advocate of freo trade, retrenchment, and reform, although adverse to hasty or unnecessary legisla tion.—Neiceaslie Chronic e. STAITORD.—The Staffordshire Atkerliser says : —The declared candidates for this borough, already name mus, it appears have not yet reached their maximum. Mr. C. Flint, the town clerk, published an address on Thur day, stating that a letter from Mr. Urquhart had reached him, announcing his intention of immediately placing himself in the hands of the burgesses and electors "as the working man's candidate as before ;" and on Friday Mr. Foils man hatted a handbill, announcing that as soon as the dissolution of perliam'nt takes place, a gentleman in every sense of the word will solicit the suffrages of the burgesses and electors—a man of family and ho nour, which will ensure his performing what he undertakes, and backed by connexions and position which will enable him to accomplish your wishes and requests, either collec tively or iudividually—one who will advocate ' free trade' to the letter—who will oppose every attempt to merge and swsmp your birthrights and privileges by adding the neigh bouring towns to the constituency of this borough—who will promote the amusements of the inhabitants at large— and who will, to the utmost of his power, preserve the con stitution of his county inviolate from all the insidious attacks made upon it." As none of the other candidates have withdrawn their pretensions, but all seem determined to stand their ground, the next election for Stafford pro mises to be one of the most extraordinary on record. Mr. Wise, Mr. Otway, Mr. Bourne, and Mr. Philipps have been in Stafford during the week, and Mr. Cook Evans arrived on Friday. SOUTH HANTA.—Our correspondent says, " The two liberal and free trade candidates for South Hampshire —Sir George Staunton ant! Mr. C. Brett—have announced their intention of retiring from the contest." SIIEFFIELD.—Mr. Roebuck has issued an address to the electors, soliciting a renewal of their support. Ile states that his principles arc unchanged, and briefly sets forth the principal points in his political creed. WALSALL.—Au opposition to Mr. Forster, the free trade candidate, is talked of; an envoy from the "Carlton" is said to be "coming down." Mr. iorster's return is be. yond a doubt.

This year the prorogation is earlier by twenty-two days, an.l the period of assembling again is shortened by the act of this session, which substitutes thirty-five days for the fifty days that were hitherto required to elapse between the dissolution of the old and the assembling of the new parlia ment ; so that the writs for the election of the new parlia ment will he returnable about the .sth of August, but the parliament will nut be called together before October. —(Magner.

'twat COLLEOE OY PllYslcurts.—The annual Ilarveian Oration was delivered on Saturday, by Dr Formby, in presence of the president and a large bodyof the fellows of the college. IRELAND. DUBLTN, JUNE 28. A great meeting of the electors of Tyrone was held the 'day before yesterday, at Tyrone, for the purpose of selecting a candidate of tenant-right prin ciples to represent the iihernl interest at the election. The priests and the Presbyterian ministers coalesced on this, us they have already done on several similar occasions in the north of Ireland, and the result was, that Captain Hugh Bmbazon Higgins, of Brabazon Park, in the county of Mayo, was unani mously chosen as the popular candidate. As un instance of the unfortunate consequences; that arc likely to result from the divisions in the I popular ranks in Ireland, owing to the number of liberal candidates forcing themselves, or forced by others, upon several of the constituencies, I may mention the county of Westmeath, in which the liberal party have hitherto been able to morn their candidates without calling on a single tenant farmer to tote against his landlord, but in which it is almost certain that a tory will be able to get in at the next election. Out of half-a-dozen candidates whir were before them the majority of the liberal club have pledged themselves to support the Him. Mr. Mostyn and Mr. P. Urquhart; while Captain Mogan and at least another of the liberal candidates are re solved to go to the poll, thus opening the door to the Derbjite candidate, Sir Richard Levinge, to walk in. The split has given rise to the most painful animosity in the county. The canvass of Dr. Gray in Monaghan has been attended with extraordinary excitement. On Thurs day the town of Clones hod a narrow escape from lx•ing a scene of a violent physical foree struggle. Dr. Gray's friends had seleeted the occasion for hold ing a meeting, but it appeared that Sir George Pos ter and his party were determined to make the same time and place serve a similar purpose for themselves. The two parties met, but fortunately matters did not proceed further than some hustling. The meeting was held in the Diamond, out of which the tory party, after many attempts to interrupt the proceed ings, were fairly driven, and Sir George Fester was obliged to choose another locality in which he ad dressed his followers. The tenant-right party look upon the day as a glorious triumph for themselves. The Marquis ot Kildare has taken leave of his con stituents in a brief and graceful address. Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, in order to Ft care perfect unanimity amongst the liberal party in Waterford, has announced his determination to retire front the contest for that borough, although he had the cordial support of a large portion of the electors; and Mr. Meagher, the present member, has consented to be again put in nomination in conjunction with Mr. Keatinge, who retires front the representation of the county. The return of both gentlemen is looked upon as secure. CRICKET. ARRANGEMENTS FOR TIIE WEEK. THIM DAT. At Lord's.—The Gentlemen of Kent T. the Gentkmea of England. At Epsotn.—Ensnm Club v.

The second match of the season under the auspices of this club came off on Saturday; the prize. being 40 sove reigns for the first yacht, and 10 sovereigns for the second. The Meteor steam boat left Londnn.bridge shortly before 10, and after calling at Illsckwall, proceeded to Erith, where the race commenced. The steady ram which began early in the morning did not abate soon enough for many of these who had intended to be present ; but there was a considerable aggregate comnany, including a large propor tion of ladies. The following yachts started :—Mouse, 15 tons, Rear Commodore ; Phantom, 20 tons. S. Lane, ; Zuleika, 20 tons, M. King, Esq. ; Secret, 2.5 tons, R. Bell, jun., Esq. ; Whisper. IS tons, T. Evcleigh, Eso. ; Vam pire, 15 tons, C. Wheeler, jun.. Eli. The Di.ivuln was entered, but did not appear. There was the usual allow ance of haltminute time for difference of tonnage. The start took place at five minutes to twelve. Zuleika having the beat of it, the others being nearly together; Vampire then passed Zuleika and got the lead, but gave way to Secret in going down Erith Roads. At Oreenhithe Secret was still leading, there being no change in the position of the others. At Grays Zulcika was first, Secret next, closely followed by all the others, except Mouse, which wt.; considerably astern. At the Sea Reach Secret passed Zuleika, which took the second place, while Phantom was third, Whimper fourth, Vampire fifth, Mouse not far behind. There was no further change until the squadron rounded the flag-boat at Southend. Secret got round at half plat 2, Zuleika about 10 seconds after, Phantom at 31 min.s sec. past 2. Whisper at 32 min. past 2, Vampire at 31, Mouse at 35. In returning Secret got con siderably head. All the way up there was a very close race between Mouse and Vampire, which are of the same tonnage and appeared well matched. The following is the order in which the several yachts reached the flag-boat at Erith:—Secret, sh. 48m. 305.; Zuleika, sh. 54m. 30s. ; Phantom, sh. 55m. 205.; Whisper, 6h. Im. 30s. ; Vampire, 6h. 13m. 405.; Mouse, 6h. 14m. 20.. By a comparison of time with tonnage it will be seen that the first and second boats were the actual winners. Immediately aPer the con clusion of the race the first prize was formally presented on board the Meteor to Mr. Bell by the commodore, Mr. Jas. Goodson ' the ceremony being attended with the customary . libations and honours ; and shortly after the steam vessel returned to London-bridge. The excursion was enlivened at intervals by the performance of the band of the Royal Artillery. SUPPRESSION or BETTING HOCSES.—On Saturday at the weekly meeting of the vestry of Marylebone, Alfred Daniel, Esq., in the chair, Earl *slivers begged to inform the vestry that in compliance with their request he had pre sen•ed their petition to the House of Lords, that some legislative enactment should he framed, having for its object the abolition of betting houses, end he had done so with great pleasure, for it was a petition in which hr most cor dially concurred. lie deeply regretted, however, that he could not congratulate the vestry that any success had attended him on that occasion. A leading journal had informed its readers that "a noble lord (name unknown) presented a petition praying their lordships to indict some law for the suppression of betting houses." Considering the import ance of the petition, that he read it at length, and that it emanated from so important body so the hfarylebene Vestry —(a laugh)—he did regret that the prayer of the petition, in which he most cordially concurred, did not meet with a better fate. lie should have been glad to have given some hope of something being done in the way of legi,lation on the subject this session, but from the close apj roach to its termination and the state of public business, he feared it was impossible.

The Board of Trade lately applied to Sir F. Thesiger and Sir Edney Kelly for their legal opinion, and they have interpreted the various clowns of the Mercantile Marine Act bearing on the ease to mean that, though a seaman has been convicted of desertion, and punished under the acts in question, he is not thereby re leased from the articles of agreement, which remain in force, notwithstanding his conviction and punishment. Those gentlemen add —" We do not . e why he may nut be guilty of another offence by again ni cl. cling or refusing to join his ship, and again be dealt with under the 70th sec tion of 13 it 11 Viet., cap. 93, by another imprisonment or by being conveyed on board the ship." • NEM GOVERNMENT Y.titth—it is thooght that tho new yard at Keybam, llevoupoit. will he formally opened for the elimination and repair of the steam-vencis of the Royal Navy, in course of the next six or eight wicks. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is expected on the occasion. • Tai MATIILR DIPTICULTY.—We believe that it is not premature to state, that Sir Henry Lytton %Carer haa been able to bring the Mather affair to something of a more satisiactoryconelthion.
