The nomination of candidates for the seat in Parliament for the borough of Southwark, vacant by the death of Ad miral Sir Charles Napier, took place this morning. Origi nally there were four candidates for the distinguished honour, namely, Mr. Scovell, Mr. Mellor, Mr. Fawcett, and Mr. Layard, but the second gentleman having given up the contest some days ago, and Mr. Fawcett having announced late on Saturday that he intended to withdraw his pretensions, the other two gentlemen—Mr. Scovell and Mr. Layard—contended for the coveted seat in the House of Commons. In consequence of the fineness of the weather a very large concourse of persons assembled in front of the hustings for some time prior to the commencement of the proceedings, and kept up the usual excitement that inva riably attends contested elections. As each candidate arrived, attended by their principal supporters, they were most heartily cheered by the crowd. The HIGH BAILIFF Of SOUTHWARK, on corning forward to open the proceedings, informed the assemblage that they had assembled that day to elect a fit and proper per • son to represent the borough of Southwark in Par liament. Two gentlemen were candidates for their suffrage; and in order that they might be able to form their opinions as to which of them would best fulfil the duties of the office it was necessary that each gentleman should be allowed a quiet hearing. (Cheers.) The respective candidates having been proposed and seconded, both gentlemen proceeded to address the electors. Mr. SCOVELL, having paid a tribute of respect to the late distinguished member, Admiral Napier, said he ventured to offer himself to fill the vacancy in the representation. He said he had taken the best means in his power to make the constituency aware of his opinions with respect to the many questions likely to be submitted to Parliament in the ensuing session. He presented himself as a local candi date. In 1852 he came forward, when there were great misrepresentations of the character of Mr. Pellatt, but he was proud to say that upon that occasion no person alities were indulged in on either aide. It was the same in 1857, with regard to the late Sir Charles Napier, and in that year and in 1859, he voted for Mr. Pellatt. In sup. port of his claims as a local candidate, he could refer to several questions of vast local importance in which he had a common interest with the electors of Southwark. One great question was that of the equalisation of poor rates. (Hear, hear.) It was well known to those present that the parishes on the northern side of the river were increasing so much in prosperity and wealth that palatial edifices were springing up in all parts, while the labouring classes, by whose toil and skill these results had been produced, were compelled to remove to the parishes on the southern side of the river, to which, in case of distress, they and their fami lies became chargeable. That was a question that must be submitted to Parliament, and it was one in which he felt a great interest, having been for many years a member of an association having for ite object an equalisation of poor rates, and he asked the electors to send him to Parliament, to assist, if possible, in carrying out the object. If re turned to Parliament, he should support Lord Palmer ston on the great principle which he was engaged in carrying out, and which he bad carried out, if it were true as was reported, that Pekin was now in the hands of the Allies. (Cheers.) He would also support Lord John Russell in carrying out the great principle of non-intervention—the right of every people to choose their own government. Referring to domestic questions, Mr. Scovell declared that he would have supported Lord John Russell's Reform Bill, but would have desired to see that scheme amended by the addition of the ballot and a lodger franchise. He was also in favour of triennial Parliaments, and, although unfeignedly attached to the Establishes: Church, he thought the interests of that Church would be best served byan immediate and total abolition of churchrates. Those being his opinions, he felt, from the favour he had received, that to-morrow afternoon he should find himself, at the close of the election, at the head of the poll with a triumphant majority. (Loud caeers.) Beans were firm, at quite last week's quotations.

They had informed him of the sort of person the electors required, and as they thought his political opinions were in unison with those of the majority, he had consented to become a candidate. He thought he was right in judging that the deputation which invited him io stand was not a clique, and did not represent a clique. (Cheers.) Among its mem bers there were Mr. Apsley Pe:latt's chairman and vice chairman, and men who had been foremost in supporting Sir C. Napier, Mr. Locke, and S r W. Molesworth in former days. He had come there as a natter of duty, and he was willing to abide by their decision as to whether he should be their member or not. If that recision was in his favour he should be a proud man ; and he vould be moved by no abuse that might be cast upon him duriag these seven or eight days. He was content to rely upon what he had already done, and to rest his claims to their confidence on what he would do hereafter; and no calumny should deter him front taking the course which he thought right and reepecttul to them and to himself. He had been taunted with putting his own clairhs against Mr. Scovell's. But what else could he do ? It was a question whether he or that gentleman should be sent to Parliament. He had had some experience of Par liamentary tactics, but Mr. Sewell was quite ignorant of them. Mr. Scovell, however, had had considerable experi • ence in that borough, and had great interests there. For himself, he had neither the one nor the other. He wanted to go to Parliament, and to remain their mem ber till he was too old for any other work, and he knew that for him to neglect their local interests would be as much as his seat was worth. He should value their un bought aid ten thousand times more than any paid ser vices, even if he failed to win the election; and so ought the constituency also to value them,for not only was his reputa tion at stake, but theirs was at stake likewise. If he carried that election, having spent nothing but the mere legal ex penses—and he intended to protest even against these—then, he said, that borough would havei earned for itself a name in English electioneering history that was likely to lead to moat important results ; for he told them that, if returned to Parliament, the first thing he should do would be to try and put an end to these means of electoral corruption. Mr. 'Layard concluded by earnestly appealing to his hearers to be early at the poll. A show of hands was then taken and the High Bailiff declared it to be in favour of Mr. Layard. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Scovell, which was fixed to commence to-morrow morning at eight o'clock, and to continue till four o'clock. A vote of thanks to the High Bailiff terminated the pro ceedings. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER..--SATURDAY.

Fine dry samples sold at slightly enhanced rates ; but dea tp qualities were much neglected. Barley commanded quip b 3 as much money, and most other kinds of produce realis ed former terms. Throughout the continent there has been set mrely any inquiry for wheat for spring shipment, and the quotations have had a downward tendency. All other article s have commanded less attention. The latest advices from n New York state that supplies of produce were abundant, and that next to nothing was doing for our•znarkete. Freights had given way considerably. _ _ The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were limited. From abroad, we received 63,347 quarters of wheat, 8,209 barley, 11,358 oats, , A,496 beans, 2,651 peas, 1,400 tares, 9,813 linseed, 9,545 rape seed, 1,000 maize, 235 sundry seeds, 5,803 sacks, and 45,661. barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of wheat, but in somewhat im proved condition, was received fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent The limited number of samples on offer, and the steadiness in most of the country markets, pro duced rather more firmness in the demand for both red and white qualities, which, in some instances, compared with Monday last, advanced is per quarter. At that amount of improvement the bulk of the samples: found buyers. Notwithstanding that we were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, the demand for all kinds was somewhat firmer, and, in some instances, prices were the turn higher. The business transacted, however, was by no means extensive. _ _ _ Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price ; but the demand for them was by no meaus active. We were but moderately supplied with barley. Nearly all kinds were in improved requst, and prices generally ware well supported. The demand for malt, both old and new, was in a slug gish state, at about previous rates. Oats, the supply of which was only moderate, changed hands steadily, at very full prices. Peas commanded previous rates, with a fair demand. The lour trade was steady, at last week's prices; CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE. - Wheat—Esser and Kent, red, new 4sa to 590 Ditto, old s9s 638 Ditto, white, new 528 618 Ditto, old ...

The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were by no means extensive, but we observed an improvement in their general condition. All prime breeds moved off freely, at fully last Monday's currency ; but inferior beasts wore e slow inquiry, on former terms. A few very inferior Soots, crosses, &c , made rather over 5s per 81bs, which, however, was the general top figure. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we recived 2,400 Shorthorns; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 7C Scots and cro.ses ; and from Ireland, 400 oxen, &c. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the general condition of which was inferior. Prime Downs and half breds moved off steadily, at very full prices, the extreme value of the former being 5s 8d per Blbs ; otherwise the mutton trade was in a slaggish state, on former terms. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off slowly, at Thursday's decline in value of from 2,d to 4d per Sibs. There was a slow sale for pigs, at late currencies. The great Christmas market will be held here on Mon day next. s. d. s. d. Primecrs-wool do. 4 8 6 2 P me.

This morning, at half-past ten, the neighbourhood of Liverpool-street,• Old Broad-street, was the scene of a most frightful calamity. At 10, Liverpool-street, a block of buildings (held by Mr. Stapleton) are undergoing repair, or rather reconstruction, and a most extensive range of scaf folding has been standing for some days. A number of workmen were employed upon the premises, and to one at least such employment this morning proved fatal. With out a moment's warning, the whole planking upon which the men were standing at their work gave way, carrying all before it. A number of poor fellows were precipitated to the ground more or less hurt, but two of their number, we are sorry to say, are reported killed. There can be no doubt about one poor fellow, but in the excitement and confusion, nothing beyond could be accu lately ascertained. The police were at once upon the spot, and the wounded and killed taken to the hospital (the pike on duty at 11 could not know which). By a quarter past 11 the ground was to some extent cleared, but a great number of persons had assembled, and many were the lamentations. The scene of the accident presented a curious appearance, being entirely deserted except by one man, who was climb ing up a ladder inside the carcase of the building. The poles of the scaffolding were entirely stripped, and as bare as when first put up. Of course an inquiry will take place. It is said that the Emperor of the French finds 25 millions of francs insufficient to meet the great demands on his privy purse, and that a proposal will be made to aug ment the Imperial income to 40 millions,—Court Tama, 102 11 25 } i 41 93 71 7i 11:10k 951 6 TALLOW There is about an average amount of business doing in tallow, and prices are well supported.

The bill was filed for the purpose of setting aside a mar riage settlement and deed of separation, on the ground of the dissolution of the marriage by reason of the adultery of the wife. Tho Lord Chancellor affirmed the decree of the Vice- Chancellor as to the marriage settlement, and varied the decree as to the deed of separation, and declared the deed of separation null and ♦oid. He dismissed the appeal, without costs on either side, either in_this court or in the court below. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAI.) MARLBOROUQH-STREET. COITRAGEOtk; CONDUCT OF I GENTLEMAN.—WiIIiant Walsh, a boo tmaker, of 50, Old Compton-street, was charged with assaulting Mr. George Forbes Upward, a gentleman, residing at 19, liarewood-square, Dorset-scptare. Mr. Upward said that on the previous night he was pass ing througl4Tew Coventry-street on the way to the New York Hotel to see a friend, Mr. Hensley, when the prisoner accosted him, with the remark that " it was a dirty night," and just as he turned into Leicester-street the prisoner, who had been following him, got before him and seized his person in a most indelicate manner, and made an observa tion to him. He told him he had mistaken his person, and collared him, being determined not to let him escape, when he broke away from him, but he pursued him and caught him, when he bit his thumb in a very savage manner. He called" Po:ice," and a gentleman came to his assistance, and afterwards the police. (Prosecutor's thumb was se verely bitten.) . A gentleman, who went to the assistance of the prose cutor, proved seeing the prisoner bite his thumb in a savage manner, and also seeing the prisoner's dress dis arranged. Sergeant Oliver, 291 A, sail at the station the prisoner denied the charge. The prisoner entered into a rambling defence, but of a most improbable kind, touching on the cattle show, Dr. Cumming, the Westminster Dispensary, the prophet Isaiah—in fact everything but the actual charge, simply denying that. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. FRIGHTFUL CASE OF SUBBING.—A young and Intel gent-looking Spanish seaman named Fillipo Crussil, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with seriously wound ing his wife Clara Augusta, a German woman, whose left cheek was covered with a large surgical bandage. A Spanish and a German interpreter were sworn to translate the evidence. The magistrate, after hearing the statement of the woman, directed Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, to take the depositions, and said he should commit the prisoner for trial. The woman, according to her own statement, has been a prostitute two years, and became acquainted with, and married the prisoner 14 months ago. He did not main tain her, and when he went to sea, left her no allotment or any means of supporting herself except byileading an im moral life. Soon after this ill-starred marriage he went to sea, and upon his return he went to Liverpool and spent all his wages among some loose women in that port. About eight or nine days ago he came to London, and visited his wife, without a penny in his pocket. The woman said she could not afford to keep him, and he said he would not go to sea again, and that he would make her support him, and he would take care she should not go on the streets again. On Thursday night last he visited her again at her lodg ings, 46, Cable-street, Whitechapel, and, upon seeing a young man there, " who was very kind to her, and gave her money, food, and a pair of boots," he said he would be revenged and murder her. She spoke to him very kindly, and begged him to leave the house. He held a knife over her, threatened to cut her to pieces, and after killing her he would be off to sea again. After breaking several panes of glass and doing considerable mischief, he left the house. On Saturday night, at a late hour, the prisoner again visited the house, broke down a wall, and said he would wash his hands in the blood of the woman. She ran away, and he followed her into the next house ; and after striking her on the mouth with his fist, he struck at her with his knife, and cut her down the face from the temple to the jaw -bone, inflicting a terrible wound. A woman who was present was next attacked by the prisoner, who attempted to stab her, and she only escaped by throwing herself over a wall. The prisoner's wife, who lost a large quantity of blood, was conveyed to the house of a surgeon, who dressed the wound. The prisoner was arrested directly afterwards. The evidence of the woman was corroborated in all its particulars, and the only part of the testimony contradicted by the prisoner was that he had threatened to wash his hands in the blood of his wife. The witnesses declared he said this in English. The prisoner declared that he did not understand Eng lish, and that he said nothing of the kind. Mr. John Courley, a surgeon, of No. 71, High-street Whitechapel, said—l dressed the wound of the prosecutrix on Saturday night at half-past 12 o'clock. The wound extended from the temple bone down to the lower part of the under jaw. It is a danger...as wound, a kind of tear, and erysipelas may ensue. The knife with which the wound was inflicted was pro duced, and at one o'clock this afternoon the prisoner Was committed for trial. T.HIS DAY'S SIIIPTING.

The following particulars respecting the cify of ' Pekin, its palaces and walls, are derived from " .Ful ' larton's Gazetteer," and will be found interesting at the present moment : Peking, Pekin, or Peleking (i.e. " the Northern capital"), the modern capital, since 1471, of the empire of China, in north latitude 39 deg. 54 min. 13 sec., and cast longitude 116 deg. 26 min. 54 sec., 60 miles from the great wall, and, 100 miles from the sea,on a sandy plain, between the river Pci-ho and its affluent the Hoen-ho. By Marco Polo, and other early travellers in the 13th and 14th centu ries, it is mentioned under the name of Carahalu and as a city, which the Tartar monarchs had re cently built adjacent to the Chinese city of 'fay-du. The distinction between the Chinese and Tartar cities is still maintained. The latter forms the main body of Pekin, being surrounded by the principal wall which encloses an area of 14 square miles. It is called the Nuy-thing, or Nei-tching, or " inner city," and contains the six supreme tribunals of the empire, the public granaries, the palace of the Em peror. The palace division forms the innermost of the three divisions. The northern part of Pekin also includes a college for the cultivation of the Chinese and Manch u languages, and one f or th e study of Tibetian, a Mahometan mosque, a Russian and a Roman Catholic church, and numerous Bud dhist temples, of which that celled the White Pagoda is the most remarkable. The Chinese cite, which lies to the south of the Tartar division, and is distinguished as the Waietching or " outer city," has a wall of its own, which, how ever , i s in many parts falling into ruin, but which encloses an area of about nine square miles. The suburbs are al so very large. Pekin, like most other Chinese cities, is laid out with mathematical precision. A street four miles long, and 120 ft. broad, reaches from one gate to the other of the Chinese section, and is crossed by another of similar length and breadth. At the point where these streets meet are lofty ornamental arches. The other streets leading from these two main lines of thoroughfares are narrow ; many of them can only be considered as lanes. They are all unpaved, and covered with sand and dust, but are kept clean, and frequently watered. The principal streets consist almost entirely of rows of shops, which are painted, gilded, and adorned with much magnificence. Pekin, according to Chinese ideas, is strongly fortified. It is surrounded with walls about 30ft. high, and 20ft. thick at their base; but their breadth on the top, within the parapets, does not exceed 12ft., E o that they have a considerable slope, especially on the inside, and rise by stages like pyramids. It is also surrounded with a ditch, and defended by square towers placed at the interval of 70 yards, or a bowshot. Each tower projects about 40ft. from the line of the wall, and has a small guardhouse on its summit. The body of the wall is composed of earth dug up from the ditch ; but it is faced on each side with a mixture of brick and stone. Lord Macartney's embassy saw no cannon mounted on the walls or towers ; but in an elevated fortification which surrounds the gates, rising to the height ef several st oreys, there were ' which at a di stance somewhat representations resemble the s cannon ham port s i n a ship of war. The imperial palace is an enclosure within the city, formed by what is called the Yellow W a il, from the colour of a small roof of varnished tiles which rises above the red brick of which the wall itself is built. The enclosing wall is 30ft. high and 12ft. thick. The space contained within it, about one mile in length, and three quarters of a mile in breadth, is artificially formed into an imitation of rude and romantic nature. A number of lakes hive been excavated, the earth dug up from which has been formed into eminences, while the lakes are studded with small islands adorned with trees and fanciful structures. The edifices destined for the accommodation of the Emperor are placed on hills of different height; the loftiest summits being crowned with pavilions, kiosks, and other buildings, destined for pleasure and refresh ment. The grand entrance to the palace is by the south gate, the central avenue of which i s reserved exclusively for the Emperor's use. Behind the gardens of this palace is a building said to contain a library of immense extent. The imperial palace of Yuen-ming, situated without the city, presents the same scene on a more extended scale. The grounds here are at least 10 miles in diameter, and comprise an extent of about 60,000 acres. All the great features of Nature,—lakes, mountains, forests, rocks anti rivers,—are here grouped in a bold and irregular manner. This palace contains 30 distinct places of residence for the Emperor, each, with all the necessary appendages, <sf 11') inconsiderable magnitude. The buildin g s, however, are more remarkable for number than magnificence. The very dwelling of the Emperor, and the grand hail of audience, when divested of their colours and gilding, are little supe rior to the barns of a substantial English farmer. The apartments are as deficient in proportion as their construction is void of evfary rule and prin ciple. The length of the audience hall is 110 ft., breadth 42ft., and height 20ft. ; the ceiling is painted with circles, squares, and polygons, whimsi cally disposed, and loaded with a great variety of colours. The Tae ho-mun, or " Hall of great har mony," attached to the palace in the Tartar division of the city, is an apartment of about 1301 t. in length, and nearly square. According to the best official information which Macartney could procure, Pekin contains a popula tion of 3,000,000. Klaproth estimates it 1,300,000. Gutzlaff is of opinion that if the suburbs are included the population may amount to 2,000,000, in which is comprised a stationary garrison of about 100,000 Manchus and their families. ROBERTSON AND BLAIR. Dr. Blair was a different kind of man from Robertson, and his character is very justly delineated by Dr. Finlay son, so far as he goes. Robertson was most sagacious, Blair was most naif. Neither of them could be said to have either wit or humour. Of the latter Robertson had a small tincture—Blair had hardly a relish for it. Robert son had a bold and ambitious mind, and a strong desire to make himself considerable ; Blair was timid and unambi tious, and withheld himself from publio business of every kind, and seemed to have no wish but to be admired as a preacher, particularly by tile ladies. his conversation was so infantine that many people thought it impossible, at first sight, that he could bo a man of sense or genius. lie was us eager about a new paper to his wife's drawing-room or his own new wig, as about a new tragedy or a new epic poem. Not long before his death I called upon him, when I found him restless and fidgetty. " What is the matter with you to-day," says I," my good friend—are you well ?" " 0 yes," says he, " but I must dress myself, for the Duchess of Leinster has ordered her granddaughters not to leave Scotland without seeing me." "Go and dress yourself, Doctor, and I shall read this novel ; for I en' resolved to see the Duchess of Leinster's granddaughters, for I knew their father and grandfather."

T hough Robertson was , bed never ruffled, he had more animosity in his nature than Blair. They were both reckoned selfish by those who envied their prosperity, but on very unequal grounds ; for though Blair talked selfishly enough sometimes, yet he never failed in generous actions. In one respect they were quite alike. Having been bred at a time when the common people thought to play with cards or dice was a sin, and every body thought it an indecorum in clergymen, they could neither of them play at golf or bowls, and fa r less at ea s or backgam m on, and on that account we re very unhappy when front home in friends' houses in the country in rainy -• weather.

Nay more, three days before his death he sent John Home a part of his history, with two or three pages of criticism on that part of it that relates to Provost Drummond, in which he and I thought John egregiously wrong.—From the " Autobiography of tin RAN , Dr. Alex. culyle," • . ~~ Share! 100 stk I 18 20 20 10 100 I 100 100 174 20 stock 100 100 20 stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 stock 100 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock stock 10 20 20 5 20
