TREATY WITH AMERICA. Earl RUSSELL laid on the table a copy of the treaty lately entered into between her Majesty's Government and the United States of America for the suppression of the slave trade. The treaty gave a mutual right of search and other extensive powers for the carrying out of its provisions. The American Government had been most active in preventing the fitting out of slave cruisers at New York, and one captain of a slave ship had already suffered capital punishment. He trusted that the treaty would have the effect of entirely suppressing the nefarious traffic. Betting-4 to 1 agst Good-bye, sto 1 each agst Bochet, Eclair, Ile-de-France, and Beaute-Severe,• 6 to 1 each Gceuzlin and Sautcrelle. Sautcrelle and Good-bye made the running, with Bochet and Eclair well up. At the stand Sauterello and Good-bye drew ahead, and raced up to the post, the former winning by half a length. age. The drain is abut 11 mitre long, pet redly straight, and devoted exclusively to drainage, there being no navigation. Its outfall into the Eau Brink Cut (about three miles above Lynn) was secured by a sluice which cost £30,000, and by which it is said the contractor lost £lO,OOO. The drain, although made for the sole benefit of the Middle Level, runs through a district called Marshland, lying between Lynn and Wisbech, and forming no part of the Bedford Level. A great part of Marshland consists of fens, the largest of which is called Marshland Fen. These fens were drained about half a century ago, under local Acts, entirely distinct from those affecting the levels, and through them runs the Middle Level drain, carrying through the Marshland fens the waters of the Middle Level on their way to the sea.

" The author of Dreamlan i' and 'Aletheia' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserated for his inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion the landscape is mo s t l uxur i ous ; and the Mnsic of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has Undeniable rneritd—Warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination or grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidoe shows What Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when - hetries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it. "—Athenaeum, " The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself; that he Is truly poet and not egotist, Bat it is by no means his o n ly mer i t. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. DRtAMLAND is a Work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. Ihe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections." —The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Alethela' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen, A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and Veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott, There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime Of Scott's own verse."--John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cUltured and imbued with elegant tastes"—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor' is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. metres. 13 entries, M.

After two false starts they all got well away together, Braveure taking the lead, with. Pamplemousse and Grabuge lying close in his wake, and Grande-Puissance and Bonne- Aventare coming next. They continued pretty nearly in that order to the hill, when they wore all together. At the turn, Souvenir and Quid Juris made the running, with Plaisir-des-Dames and Heurlys at some distance behind, passing the judge's chair in that order; the two first being, however, four or five lengths ahead of the third and fourth. The rest were nowhere. The Bishop of OXFORD expressed great gratification at the announcement of the noble earl. He felt the treaty was the onestep in the right direction that was wanting to make all the efforts this country had made for the suppres sion of that horrid traffic successful. All that was wanted was that the flag of the United States should not be allowed to cover and protect vessels in the slave trade. Earl STANHOPE felt great pleasure at the announce ment which had just been made. He should like to know whether the treaty was for an indefinite period or for a term of years. Earl RUSSELL said the treaty was for ten years, but it could be renewed. _ _ _ The Zetland Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for 2-yr-olds, colts Bst 101 b, fillies and geldings Bst 61b ; cer tain penalties and allowances ; the second receives back his stake.

The Marshland fens, from reedy swamps, have been converted by drainage and cultivation into good corn land, almost equal in value to that of the rest of Marshland, which is one of the most fertile districts in England. On Sunday, the 4th inst., the Middle Level sluice blew up, as that at Denver had done in 1713, the cause in both cases being probably the same—viz., that the tidal waters had gradually undermined the brickwork and formed a hole in the bed of the river, in which the structure was engulfed.

Laura, Volturno, and Harvest Moor ran in front to the road, where Borealis and Bohemia, vho had been lying next them, took the places of Volturno and Harvest Moon, Mr. Wilson's filly having been previously shut out. Bo realis made her effort near the enclosure, but was soon shaken off by Laura; Bohemia came at the stand, but was unable to reach Laura, who won cleverly by a length ; Borealis finished twa lengths from Bthemia, and Volturno was a bad fourth; Boatswain and Niwnrarket were fifth and sixth, HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. It was now evident that unless some means could immediately be adopted for excluding the waters of the Ouse from the Middle Level drain, the banks of the latter (constructed only to resist the fresh water from above) must give way. Attempts were made to make a dam across the drain, but they tailed, and on Monday morning, the 12th inst., under the weight of a high spring tide, the west bank of the drain broke, and the roaring tide, which had pre viously nearly overtopped the bank, poured into the adjoining fens, carrying away the bank for about 70 yards, and making, it is said, a hole ten feet deep where it had stood. And at every tide since the water has poured over the defenceless country, until it is supposed that nearly 10,000 acres are now submerged—all a few days since verdant with luxuriant crops. The case of the sufferers is hard indeed. They are injured by the failure of works which were not in tended to benefit them, and from which they neither derived nor acquired any advantage. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Hirma made the running, with Bisbillo next, Stradella third, and Vapeur fourth. At the reservoirs Stradella had taken the second place, with Vapeur third. At the corner, on the run home, Noelie drew up and ran up to the stand, close behind Stradella and Hirma, who were leading. Os borne, who was riding Noelie, then with a little forcing contrived to bring up his horse abreast with Stradella, and they both passed the winning post together, the race being declared a dead heat. The Lords' amendments to the Tendring Hundred Rail way Bill were considered, and the bill was ordered for third reading.

Mr. TURNER asked the President of the Board of Trade why the trade and navigation returns did not include the quantities of foreign manufactured paper imported into this country, as well as the quantities of British manufactured paper exported, and the quantities of rags, &c., for making paper imported. And whether he had any objection to fur nish a return of the quantity of foreign paper of all kinds imported each month since the abolition of the import duty, up to the end of April last. Mr. M. GIBSON, who was imperfectly heard, was understood to say that he had no objection to lay the papers in question on the table. Mr. A. TURNER then gave notico that he would move for these returns. ST. STEPHEN'S HALL.. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner of Works in what state the crypt of St. Stephen's Hall now was, and whether there was any prospect of its being used for Divine service ? Mr. COWPER said that the crypt would be finished early next year, but he could not state whether thorn EUVOPEAN TROOPS.—INDIA. Mr. H.

In reply to Sir M. FARQUHAR, Sir. C. WOOD sa id th a t h e h a d re ceived information from India, to the effect that there was no foundation for the report relative to the attack on Herat. BRITISH AND FRENCH FISHING BOATS. Mr. BENTINCK mooed an address for a return of all British and French fishing boats which had been cap tured during the last 10 years for the infringement of the convention of 1843, and of the panish meats inflicted in both countries in those cases ; and, copy of all Correspondence which has passed on the subject of such captures and punishments between the British and French Governments. He drew the attention of the house to the importance of the class to whose grievances he adverted in supplying our mercantile and naval marine; he said that the French authorities acted in the letter and not in the spirit of the convention of 1843, by inflicting several penalties on the fishermen of this country con victed of infringing the law. Mr. CAVE seconded the motion. Mr. LAYARD said that their fishermen were occa sionally in the habit of violating the law, and exposing themselves to capture by French cruisers, and there was no doubt that the severest punishments had been inflicted on them. Her Majesty's Government had communicated with the French Government, and M. Thouvenel said that he had referred the matter to the Minister of Marine, the officer who had jurisdiction in such subjects. It was pro mised by the French Government that the grievances com plained of would be remedied. THE COMMITTAL OF ALICE DELIN.

He followed her into the house of that:woman, and on receiving information that'she had asked for a little sugar, he sent for a policeman and committed her to the county gaol, which was distant 6 or 7 miles. She fell a victim to that harshness, and he contended that Mr. French had exceeded his duty as a magistrate, and that the matter should be fully inquired into. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENNESSY seconded the motion. Sir It. PEEL thought that the motion of the hon. mem ber instead of allaying excitement on this subject in Ireland, would have a totally different effect. The papers alluded to had already been published in a pamphlet. At the same time Government had no objection to produce the papers as well as the letter of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) That functionary reprimanded Mr. French, but at the same time acquitted him of having had any in tention to act with inhumanity, or to exceed what he con sidered his just authority.

But he assured the house that he could not support any measure that did not embody the views on which the present bill was founded. The bill was then withdrawn. Sir G. GREY moved the second reading of the Lunacy Regulation Bill, which had passed the House of Lords, and the provisions of which ho explained at some length. A discussion of a technical character ensued, in which Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Malins,ad a second time. and Mr. Henle took part; and ultimatelyte bill was re The Public-hou ses (Scotland) Bill was recommitted, and y various amendments agreed to.

At the end of a quarter. of a mile Caractacus took up the running with Crockett, Beverley, and Rapparee in the second, third, and fourth places. At the plantation side Caractacus had a lead of two lengths, but was caught at Middlethorpe corner by Ivanhoff, which then took second place on the inside. After rounding the bend for the straight run in, the Wizard drew gradually forward on the outside, and at the Stand had his head before Ivanhoff. The latter was then called upon by Fordham, and being able to run the longest won an exciting race by a length.

Up to the stand and round the turn, on going out, Rarey held a decided lead, with Mousetrap sad Fosco next, and Raby and the Leopard close to that. The ruck was headed by Mark Tapley, who, with Ccral and Adam Pile in his wake, endeavoured to make his pace between Fosco and Leopard. Those two, however, clo3ed up, and Mark Tapley, striking into Leopard's heels, fell heavily as they entered the old course. Coral and Adam Pile immediately fell over them, Mr. Thacker being mud bruised by his fall, and picked up insensible. Rarey and Mousetrap then went on in front, with Raby, Fosco, and Guz Penrice following at intervals of about four lengths each. Rarey continued his lead to near the straight, where Mousetrap quitted him, and carried on the running to the stand ; there Raby caught him, defeated him without difficulty, and won by a length Rarey a bad third, Fosco fourth, Penrce fifth.

LATEST BETTING, THE DERBY. 4to 1 agst The Marquis 11 to 2 agst Blackstone 1000 to 5 agst Welcome The celebrated Blink Bonny, winner of both Derby and Oaks, died on Sunday last. This valutble mare dropped a colt foal to Stockwell exactly four weeks before her death, CHANTILLY RAC,-3s. The first day's running came off yesterday, and, notwith standing the threatening aspect of the weather, in the morn ing, attracted a large number of spectators.

Straddle, however, redeemed her reputation in the deciding heat by winning easily. The dead heat occurred in the Prix d 4 Diane (the French Oaks), which was the principal event I the day.

Compiegne made the running, with Mon Etoile seconab At the last turning the three were well together, and a good race along the straight occurred, Benjamin winning by a neck, with the same distance between the second and third. An approaching event which has just been announced, and which will exercise considerable influence on racing in France, formed the principal topic of conversation on the course. We refer to the breaking up of the (Lulled stable of Baron Niviere and Count de Lagrange, and of the probable retirement of the two noble proprietors from the turf. That immense establishment, comprising nearly 200 horses, is now in the market, the price demanded being 800,000 f. Should no purchaser be found, the whole, it is said, will be brought to the hammer before the end of the year. Such a dispersion is, however, greatly to be regretted ; for, what ever objections sporting men may make to the league between two such powerful competitors, and the estab lishment of a sort of monopoly, not only have these gentlemen rendered great services to the popularisation not easily filled up. Another event has also just transpired, and excites great interest in racing circles —viz., the establishment of a grand prize, to be run for every year at the Paris Spring Meeting, and which may, not improbably, rival the English Derby in importance, being, it is believed, the largest racing stake in the world. The prize will consist of 100,000 f, given, half by the city of Paris and half by the united railway companies, and a work of art presented by the Emperor, added to a pool made up of I,ooof entries, and GOO forfeit, for 3-yr-olds of all nations. The course will be a flat one of 2,400 metres. The entries for 1863 are to be made up on Ist July next, and on the Ist of August for the following year. THE MARSHLAND DELUGE. The Bedford Level is a tract of low land, contain ing about 400,000 acres, situate in Northampton shire, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Lincolnshire. Its natural drainage is by the Rivers Nene and Ouse into the great estuary of the Wash, and so to the German Ocean ; but but much of it, lying below the level of the sea, re mained for ages a series of lakes and swamps. Its name is derived from the ducal family of Bedford, which possesses large property in it, and two of the heads of which—Francis, fourth earl, and his son and successor William, fifth earl and first duke — successively undertook (with the assistance of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, a Dutch engineer) its drain age and reclamation. _ _ _ In 1695 the Bedford Level was divided into the North, Middle, and South Levels, all under the management of the Bedford Level Corporation. In 1753 the North Level finally separated from the others, and, having its own drainage by the Nene (the Peterborough and Wisbech river), it is no longer considered part of the Bedford Level. The Middle and South Levels each drain into the Ouse or Lynn River; but, as will be seen hereafter, the Middle Level has now no connection with that river until shortly before it reaches Lynn. One of the earliest and chief works of the Bedford Level Corporation was the erection of a sluice across the Ouse at Denver, about 12 miles above Lynn. This was advised by Vermuyden, but op posed by Westerdyck, another Dutch engineer em ployed by the corporation. A sluice consists of fold ing doors set in strong brickwork, and constructed so as to be opened by the fresh water when the tide runs out, and shut by the salt water when it comes in—the retreating fresh water thus making way for its own egress, and the advancing salt water opposing a barrier to its own progress. The advan tages of a sluice are that the banks above it need not be made strong enough to bear the weight and violence of the sea water, nor high enough to avoid being overtopped by an unusually high tide, and that the retreating fresh water is not impeded in its course by the advancing salt water. Denver sluice was, of course, constructed solely with a view to drainage, and its erection was thought to have a bad effect on the navigation, par ticularly in choking Lynn harbour. In fact, drain age and navigation are, and always must be, conflict ing interests, the former requiring the channel to contain as little, the latter as much water as pus- sible. In 1713 the controversy was for a time settled by the tidal waters undermining and " blowing . up" Denver sluice, and in that condition .remained u ntil 1750, when, in sp ite of strongopposition from Lynn, it was rebuilt , and has remained ever since, the recent statement of its destruction being alto gether a mistake. Notwithstanding numerous and expensive work s for the drainage of the Middle and South Levels, it remained very imperfect, while the navigation o f the Ouse became worse daily. An opinion gradually prevailed that the bad state of both drainage and navigation proceeded from the width, shallowness, and circuitous course of the Ouse from Eau Brink to Lynn, and ie. 1795 an Act was passed for making a straight cut between these points, which, how ever, was not completed until 1821. The Act was th e first of 4 Series, called Eau Brink Acts, by which the drainage of the Bedford Level is in effect placed under the control of a body lately called the Eau Brink Drainage Commissioners, but now the Conservators of the Ouse Outfall, leaving the Bedford Level Corporation but the shadow of au thority. It has recently been proposed to dissolve that corporation, an d finally separate the Middle and South Levels. The proprietors of have airway e Middlk 7-,07e1 As soon as the breach in the bank can be re paired, it will not, it is thought, be a work of great difficulty to get the water off of the fens, which possess a complete system of drainage. But it is useless to attempt this until the Middle Level Commissioners have secured their banks, so as to relieve the unfortunate fenmen from fear of further inroads.

NEWSVENDORS' BENEVOLENT INSTIT U7ION. The annual festival of this institution took place last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. Charles Dickens. About 200 ladies and gentlemen sat down to an excellent din ner. Amongst those present were—Mr. Headland, Miss Hogarth, Miss Dickens, Mr. Frank Dickens, Mr. B. Webster, Mr. and Mrs. Wills, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Lehman, Mr. E. Yates, Mr. B. Jerrold, Mr. W. Smalley, Mr. and Mrs. Benson, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Openheim, Mr. Leger, Mr. M'Murray, The usual loyal toasts having been duly honoured, Mr. E. Yates, an efficient member of the Civil Service Volunteer Corps, appropriately acknow ledged the toast of " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." _ _ The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the even ing, said—Ladies and gentlemen, last year, when I was to have had the honour of presiding at the an nual festival of this institution, I was prevented by indisposition. I requested my friend Mr. Wilkie Collins to reign in my stead. He very kindly com plied, to my great relief, and he made an excellent speech. Indeed, to tell you the truth, I read the account of it at the time with considerable uneasi ness, for it inspired me with a strong misgiving that I might have done better to preside last year with neuralgia in my face and my subject in my head, rather than preside this year with my neuralgia gone and my subject anticipated. (Laughter.) Therefore I shall preface the toast of the evening by making the managers of this institution one very solemn and repentant promise, and that is, that if ever I have to find them a substitute again, they may implicitly rely . upon m my sending them the most opeechless man in y circle of acquaintance. (Renewed in ghte r chairman of last year impl icitl y imagined e uni versality of the nowsvend or ' s calling .) the fhe and the grtztt variety of people who look for him every day, and the great diversity of interest with which his bur den is expected. Now , not hin g that I can think of s eems to be left for mo b ut to imegins his burclon itself, to unfold one of thos e w onderful sheets w h ich he every day disseminat es, and to take a glance over the shoulder—a bird's eye view of the general character of its contents. (Hear, hear.) sunshine So, if you pl e ase, choosing my weather as tilt; newsman can not, for he must b e e q uall y ac tive in all weathers, in winter as in summer, snow, in li g ht and in darkness, early in and and late—l say c hoosing m y weather as an amateur can , but as he cannot, I will for two or three moments start off with my newsman on a fine May morning, and take a peep over his shoulder at one of the wonderful broad sheets which he every day scatters broad cast. (Hear, hear.) The first thing that occurs to me in taking up the newspap er every morning is that we are born ev er y day, that we are married every day —some of us at least—(laughter)—and that we die every day ; conse quen tly, my first glimpse over the newsman's shoulder instructs me that Atkins is born, Catkins is married, and Datkins is dead. But one of the most remarkable cir cumstances connected with this sheet is that Atkins' infancy seems to be surprisingly brief, for in the very next column it would appear that he has grown up to be 17 years old, and has run away from his mother. (Laughter.) At least Ise " that if Mr. A." which stands for Atkins " who is 17 years old, in a dress suit, with one front tooth missing, will only return to his disconsolate parent everything will be arranged to the satisfaction of everyone." lam afraid that he never will returbn, for the reason amongst others p erhaps, that if c had meant ever to come back he never would have f such gone away. (Laughter.) Immediately below, I find a mysterious creature in a position o mysterious difficulty that it figures, several by several disjointed letters, several,, . is only to be expressed Amelia, write stars, and some such adjuration. as (Laughter.)

Still glancing over the shoulder of my industrious friend, I am offered every kind of house, lodging, clerk, servant, situation that I can poesibly or impossibly want, with everything to eat, drink, wear, and use. I learn, to my intense grati fication—for I begin to have some doubts upon the subject myself—that I need never grow old, that I may preserve the juvenile bloom of mycomplcxion to any period of life—that I need never have any m w o a re ne grey hairs—(laughter)—that again it is entirely my own fault—(laughter)—that if I ever cough .[ need never be ill of any complaint—that if I want ih t:: a : L i if (Laughter.)

GI. down, I glancing over the newsman's and there 1 read, among other stereotyped passages, which I am always sure to find there, how the hon. member for somewhere, last night, asked the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had any intelligence to communicate respecting that last outrage, or that last railway accident, or that last mine explosion, or that last case of police justice, and I always read how the right hon. gentleman said in reply, rather magnificently, that "he knew nothing whatever about the matter but what he had read in the papers." (Laughter.) Which stereotyped reply I observe to be universally received with a " Hear, hear," which is to me perfectly incomprehensible, because I can read about such things in the paper without drawing a salary fordoing it. (Laughter.) Well, then I see the police intelligence, and that teaches me that if I want to bite a woman's nose off I can do it very cheap—(hear, hear, and laughter)— twhiendsoawlteidt will ie cost of exceedingly laughter)— but if I want surreptitiously to make off with and also that if I allow myself to be betrayed into g edi o n r gl a y calf from a shop the folly, say of killing an uno d ffe e n ar d — ing la t u r g a i de te sm r) : : at his own doorstep, that little act of indiscretion will not in the least interfere with my triumphant production of testimonials to character as a most amiable young man, particularly to be esteemed in all respects, but singularly remarkable, above all things, for the mild inoffensive character of my disposition. (Laughter.) So, also, looking ever the shoulder of my friend the newsman of the day, I pass to the theatrical intelligence, and there per haps, I read the gratifying announcement, which is no news to any one, that the true spirit of the true and picturesque artist has been again dis played by Mr. Webster—(laughter)—and that another most subtle piece of genuine comedy has been achieved by Mr. Wigan. (Cheers.) Then, turning my eye to the fine arts, under that head I find the latest intelligence to be that a certain I. 0. has most triumphantly exposed a certain I. 0. 8., which I. 0. B. is remarkable for this sin gular and particulaiiy cool feature, that I vas re quired to make the sacrifice of depriving myb - Plf a my best pictures by hanging them for si• months upon wet walls, and that I was requited for my courtesy by having them most impertinently covered with a wet blanket. (Laughter.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, summing up, in short, this one glance over my newsman's shoulder gives me the comprehensive knowledge of all that is going on over the great continent of Eu rope, over the great continent of America to boot, to say nothing of such little geographi cal regions as India and China; for Reuter'a. telegrams come • straight to me. Under the head of " Military Intelligence" I read the last news of my boy in the army, and under the head of " Naval Intelligence" I read the last news of my boy in the navy, and all these topics are ready sifted for me in sharp, terse, pointed, leading articles.

They could not be shown anything in England so astonishing as a newsvendors' dinner, seeing that it is the usage and policy of their country, as described bytravellers, to forbid the circulation of news of any kind, on pain of instant death, and to cut the news man in half the moment he shows himself. The chairman then gave a sketch of the history and progress of the Newsvendors' Provident Institution, regretting that the benefits and advantages which it offered were so little taken advantage of by the newsvending fraternity, who were most likely to require its assistance. Than the newsvendors there were no more zealous and hardworking public ser vants, and their profits bore no proportion to the great anxiety and care and the large amount of wear and tear necessarily attendant on the discharge of their daily functions.

The writ for the election o f n member for this borough in the room of Mr. Bristow, who has ac cepted the solicitorship to the Admiralty, was received here this morning ; and the Mayor (Mr. Pemberton Talbot) at once issued a proclamation fixing the nomination for next Monday at noon, and th 6 roll for Tuesday. There are two candidates actually in the field; and, from present appear ' ances, there will be a sharp struggle. At the last contest Mr. Bristow beat his Conservative anta cronist Mr. J. W.
