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 BIILITF of SOUTHWARK, OR coming 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 suffrages, 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 side. 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 its object an equalisation of poor rates, and he asked the electors to send him to Parliame,,A , 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 I7ras engaged in carrying out, and which he had mrried out, if it were true as was reported, that Pe? in was now in the ' hands of the Allies. (Cheers.) Ho 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. lie was also in favour of triennial Parliaments, and, although unfeignedly attached to the Established 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 cheers.) _ _ _ _ Mr. LAYARD said he came before them at the request of a very influential deputation, whom he thop.ght fairly represented the opinions of the voters of ti , ,e borough of Southwark. They had informed hip . , of the sort of person the electors required, and as they thought his political opinions `"sere in unison with those of the majority, he kad consented to become a candidate. He thought fra was right in judging that the deputation which invite.. him to stand was not a clique, and did not represent a clique. (Cheers.) Among its mem bers there were Mr. Apsley Pellatt's chairman and vice chairman, and men who had been foremost in supporting Sir C. Napier, Mr. Locke, and Sir W. Molesworth in former days. He had come there as a matter of duty, and he was willing to abide by their decision as to whether he should be their member or not. If that decision was in his favour he should be a proud man ; and he would be moved by no abuse that might be cast upon him during these seven or eight days. He was content to rely upox 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 from taking the course which he thought right and respectful to them and to himself. He had been taunted with putting his own claims 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. Scovell 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 have earned for itself a name in English electioneering history that was likely to lead to most important results ; for he told them that, if returned to Parliament, the first thing ho should do would be to try and put an and to those means of electoral corruption. Mr. Layerd concluded by earnestly appealing to his hearers to be early at the poll. BRITISH MINES. I Closing Business Paid 'lPrice.

A show of hands was then taken and the High 'Bailiff declared it to be in favour of Mr. Layard.

A vote of thanks to the High Bailiff krminated the pro ceedings. SPORTING INT7eLLIGENcE. BETTING AT MA:.N.ICIIESTER..--SA.TURDAY.

Fine dry samples sold at slightly enhanced rates ; but damp qualities were much neglected. Barley commanded quite as much money, and most other kinds of produce realised former terms. Throughout tho continent there has been scarely any inquiry for wheat for spring shipment, and the quotations have had a downward tendency. All other articles have commanded less attention. The latest advices from New York state that supplies of produce were abundant, and that next to nothing was doing for our markets. 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, 4,496 beans, 2,651 peas, 1,400 tares, 9,813 linseed, 9,545 rapeseed, 1,000 maize, 285 sundry seeds, 5,803 sacks, and 45,661 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply Qf 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 pride ; but the demand for them was by no meaus active. We were but moderately supplied with barley. Nearly all kinds were in improved request, and prices generally were 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. Beans were firm, at quite last week's quotations. Peas commanded previous rates, with a fair demand. The flour trade was steady, at la;st week's prices. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 6,163 head. In the corresponding week in 1859 we received 4,311; in 1858, 4,322; in 1857, 1,773; in 1856, 1,622 ; in 1855, 4,752 ; and in 1854, 3,999 head. IMPORTS INTO .40NDON LAO WEEK. From. Beasts. Sheep.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were by no means extensive, but we observed an imr,revement in their general condition. All prime breeds moved off freely, at fully last Monday's currency ; but inferior beasts were a slow inquiry, on former terms. A few ♦ery inferior Scots, 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 crosses ; 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 81bs ; otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off slowly, at Thursday's decline in value of from `',d to 4d per Sibs. There was a slow sale for pigs, at late currencies.

REPORTED DEATH OF TWO MEN. 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 gavo way, carrying all before it. A number of poor follows 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 rately ascertained. The police were at once upon the spot, and the wounded and killed taken to the hospital (the p)lice 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. Tho 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 insuf f icient to meet the great demands on his privy purse, and that a proposal will be made to aug meat the Imperial income to 4.o.raillions.—eort eournd.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-JUDGMENT-EVANS V. CARRINGTON. 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. The 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 void. He dismissed the appeal, without costs on either side, either in Jhis court or in the court below. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(TRIS DA I.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OP A. GENTLEMAN.—WiIIiam Walsh, a bootms.ker, of 50, Old Compton-street, was charged with assaulting Mr. George Forbes Upward, a gentleman, residing at 19, Harewood-square, Dorset-square. Mr. Upward said that on the previous night he was pass ing through New 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" Police," and a gentleman came to his Resistance, 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, ani also seeing the prisoner's dress dis arranged. Sergeant Oliver, 291 A, said 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 STABBING.—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 by leading an im moral life. Soon after this ill-starred marriage he went to sea, and upon his return he went to Liverpool arid 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. Ho 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, heleft 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 Qf 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 dangercus wound, a kind of tear, and erysipelas may ensue. The knife with which the wound was inflicted was pro dused, and at one o'clock this afternoon the prisoner was committed for trial. THIS DAY'S SHIFTING. LONDON, Dec. 10.—Wind this day at noon—South.

The following particulars respecting the city of Pekin, its palaces and wane, are derived from Ful larton's Gazetteer," and will be found interesting at the present moment : Peking, Pekin, or Peh-king (i.e. " the Northern capital"), the modern clpital, since 1471, of the empire of China, in north latitude 39 deg. 54 min. 13 sec., and east longitude 116 deg. 28 min. 54 sec., 60 miles from the great wall, and 100 miles from the sect i on a sandy plain, between the river Pei-ho and its affluent the Iloen-ho. By Marco Polo, and other early travellers in the 13th and 14th centu ries, it is mentioned under the name of Cambalu and as a city, which the Tartar monarchs had re cently built adjacent to the Chinese city of Tay-du. The distinction between the ChineseandTarter 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-ching, en- 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 Alatir;hu languages, and one for the study of Tibetian, a Mahometan mosque, a Russian and a Roman Catholic church, and numerous Bud dhist templete, of which that celled the White Pagoda is the most remarkable. The Chinese city which lien to the south of the Tartar division, and is distinguished as the Wai-tching or " outer city," has a wall of its own, which, however, is in many parts falling into ruin, but which e nc l oses an area of about nine square miles. The suburbs are also 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 eiily 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., so 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. E ac h t ower pro j ects 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 of several storeys, there were representations of cannon, which at a distance somewhat resemble the sham ports in a ship of The imperial palace is an enclosure within the city, formed by what is called the Yellow- W a ll, 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 have been excavated, the earth dug up from which has been formed into eminences, while the lakes arc 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 is 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, forest!, rocks an rivers,—are here grouped in a bold and irregular mariner. This palace contains 30 distinct places of residence for the Emperor, each, with all the necessary appendages, forming a village of no inconsiderable magnitude. The buildings, however, are more remarkable for number than magnificence. The very dwelling of the Emperor, and the grand hall 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 every rule and prin ciple. The length of the audience hall is 1101 t., 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 130 ft. 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 tiucture—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 public business of every kind, and seemed to have no wish but to be admired as a preacher, particularly by the ladies. His conversation was so infantiue that many people thought it impossible, at first sight, that he could be a man of sense or genius. He was as 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 am resolved to see the Duchess of Leinster's granddaughters, for I knew their father and grandfather." This being settled, the young ladies, with their governess, arrived who one, and turned out poor little girls, of 12 and could hardly be supposed to carry a well turned comlp3lmwent which the Doctor gave them in charge to their . grandmother.self that I Robertson had so great a desire to shine contrary, tefetpreid le n a o s t t Ish hardly ever saw him patiently bear anybody.onhellireshe'es off but Dr. Johnson and Garrick.

Th ough Robertson was never r uffled, he had more animosity inhis nature than Blair. T h e y were both reckoned selfish by those who envied their unequal grounds ; for though Blair prosperity, but on very 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 theta play at golf or bowls, and far less at cards or backgammon, and on that account were very . happy when from home in friends' houses in tho coufntryinrainaTt weather.

I returned, accordingly, at four, and never passed four hours more agreeably with him, nor had more enligh tened conversation. Nay more, three days before his death he sent John Home apart 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 the Rev Dr. Ales' Csrlylo.". war. zd S. en. on .ed In 3n- 174 20 stock 100 100 20 stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 stock 20i 20 100 100 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock stolk Share I
