ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS (CRIMINAL JURISDIC 21").—There is a Bill in the House of Commons to abo lish the criminal jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in certain cases. The Acts of sth and 6th Edward VI., chap. 4 , and other statutes against quarrelling and fighting in churches and churchyards, as recommended by the Eccle siastical Commissioners, are to be repealed Further it is proposed to enact that after the "passing of the measure no suit or proceeding shall be commenced or heard in any ecclesiastical court in England or Wales for defamation, or for quarrelling, chiding, or brawling by words only in any church or churchyard, or for smiting or laying violent hands 11 1xcl any other in any church or churchyard, or for mali ciously striking any person with any weapon, or for drawing any weapon with intent to strike another in any church or churchyard." LOW OF FRESH WATER INTO THE THAMES.— It appears from the evidence beforethe Committee now sitting on the water supply of the metropolis, that the immense volume of fresh water derived from the area of the drainage of the. Thames which comes over Teddington lock and Mixes with the water below is calculated at 800,000,000 gallons a day, or about 16 square miles of water, 90 feet deep. THE Loss OF THE BIRKENHEAD. —On Saturday last a special meeting of the Town Council of Portsmouth, over which the mayor presided, was held for the purpose of considering the best means to be adopted for raising funds to assist the sufferers by the loss of the Birkenhead. The bu siness of the day having been opened by the chairman, reso lutions were passed unanimously expressive of the sympathy of the meeting with the sufferers and for taking means for opening subscription lists. A resolution for calling a public meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, at the hall of the Beneficial Society of the borough, at 7 o'clock F.M., was also assed, after which it was announced by Captain Strange, R.N. (through the chairman), that the officers of the garri son had volunteered an amateur performance at the theatre in aid of the funds to be raised, and Mr. Davey said he was authorised to offer the proceeds of any night that might be named of the Clarence Gardens, for the same purpose. A subscription wasopened in the hall, to which the members of the council immediately contributed upwards of 1031., the mayor subscribing an additional sum of 23/. from his own pocket.

THR S OLICITOR -G ENERA L' S ELECTIONEE RIN G EN.- G.tokarEwrs.—The Exeter papers state that Sir Fitzroy of Kelly is positively pledged to contest the representation that city at the next general election, and that his committee implicitly rely upon his coining forward according to pro miss. Meanwhile the Learned Gentleman has been elected for Harwich, and it is a curious circumstance, that on the very day the people of Harwich returned him as their Mem ber Sir Fitzroy issued an address to the freeholders of East ' Suffolk, announcing his intention of standing for that division of the county at the general election, in compliance with a . n umerously-signed requisition to that effect recently pre &anted to him. How the Learned Gentleman will decide When the dissolution takes place remains to be seen.—Ad • vertiser. Pam IN HOLBORN.—On Saturday evening a fire, attended with the loss of several hundred pounds' worth of Property, broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Stannard, Wholesale picture-frame makers and carvers and g i lders, 4 , B liddle-row, Holborn, about eight o'clock. The flames were first seen in the back workshops, and owing to the com bustible nature of the stock they progressed most rapidly, so that within a very few minutes the whole range of work !hops were one mass of fire. The various engines were early in attendance, and no time was lost in setting them to work; but, n otwithstanding the firemen exerted themselves to the Tilton, the fire was not sufficiently extinguished to prevent itiarg:sextending further until half- past nine o'clock, by which valeeNesars, Stannard's manufacturing premises and their Mur h e contents were destroyed ; the premises of Mr. 1.) the' ironmonger , • lly injured by fire and water ; and 4oua_ materially damaged.

POEIII3 FROM FIRESIDE. By Maria Goodluch. Darton. A pretty littlevc,lutioe of very simple and very in nocent verses, designed as "an affectionate offering" for " the young"—meaning children. Most of the pieces are fables, each conve:t ing some homely mora ; and the whole hook is dedicated "by permission," says the fly-leaf—and that fly-leaf is a passport of itself—to Charles Dickens.

THE 1114 LIAN VOLUN TEERS, By Emilio Daudolo.. Lonymans. This work is described as an authentic narrative of the organization, adventures., and final disbanding of the Italku Volunteers and Lombard Rifle Brigade in 1848.49, translated - from the edition published at Turin in 1849. In the author's preface he .observes that he hesitated much before giving these pages to the public, until, induced by the encouragement he met with from those he consulted on the subject, and his desire of lending his assistance to those who, de sirous of finding the truth, are unable to do so from the confusion and obscurity in which the period de scribed is involved:— _ _ _ ("I had accidentally been placed in such circumstances as to be able frequently to form a char and prceise judgment respecting various occurrences, which, for others, were either of dubious character, or liable to he talsely interpreted. From early intimacy and habits of friendship I was like a brother to the late Luciano Manara; for about a year I was his adjutant and secre.; tary for military affairs, and above all, his inseparable compari , in in the revues which led him at lag to ttpi tomb. I had, therefore, the means of viewing, in their true light, the perplexing changes of events in which tie and his comrades were so emangled and ruined. Without any interes , ,ed vit ws or regard to party feeling, I have felt, in publishing this brief narrative, that I was paying the last tribute due to the memory of my friend, and though far froth confi dent in the merits of the style, I gape nevertheless to meet with some indulgence for the sake of the spirit of justice which it has been my constant endeavour to pre serve throughi.iut. For my only desire in these pages has been to speak the truth on all occasions, and to be impartial both as to things and persons; so that if I have deceived myself I can at leant claim the praise of honestyfor my intentions." _ _ As a spirit of truth and impartiality is the most rare to find, though most valuable when obtained in a work of this sort, it is not doubtful that the present volume will be welcomed by all those who desire to study the course of events in the eventful years they describe. TRAVELS IN TAUTARY, THIBET, AND CHINA. National Illustrated Library. This is the second volume of these travels, which derive interest and originality from the circumstance of their being descriptive of a region comparatively little known. An engraving of the Mausoleum of a grand Lama of Thibet is prefixed, and the various il lustrations of the inhabitant?, the scenery, and the ani mals of the countries delineated are very instructive. The extraordinary customs of the Buddhists are also related, and the reader will find the entertaining and the useful combined in a very agreeable manner. MEMOIRS OF EXTRAORDINARY POPU LAR DELUSIONS. 2 Vols. National Plus- trated Library. By Charles Mackay, LL.D. A very interesting account of the variuus follies and superstitions of the past and the present. "The Mis sissippi Scheme," " The Slow Poisoners," " Popular Admiration of Great Thieves," form a conspicuous portion of the narrative. But we are surpris , d to find " The Crusades" included in the number. Few will agree to place those exploits of chi valry and enthusiasm which have ever been sur rounded by poetry and romance by the side of " The Witch Mania," "The South Sea Bubble," Dick Turpin, and Jack Sheppard. There are also chapters descriptive of haunted houses, duels, and ordeals, the alchymists, and the magnetisers. The volumes are bound and illustrated in the usual excellent style of this library. TILE STORY OF NINEVEH. THE E RICKS ON S. Paton and Ritchie, Edinburgh. Thes9 works are intended for the young, and will bo found to possess much that is beneficial. " The Story of Nineveh," as its name indicates, contains a description of that great city, its founder, its history, and its ruins. " The Ericksons" and " The Clever B iy" are two instructive and pleasing tales, by Miss Francis Brown, whose powers as an author are so well known. The first is a history of life in Norway, the second a tale of the mishsps of a clever boy who only considered hithsdf. They form a gent acqui4- tion to the young, who must derive from their perussl both pleasure and profit. A PICTURE-BOOK FOR A NOAH'S ARK. Chapman and Hall. An excellent zoological work, which contains de scriptions of two hundred animals, with pictures which give a very good impression of them. There is a great variety i❑ the subjects selected for repre sentation, and the description., being clear and concise, are well calculated to attract and inform children. THE BOOK OF THE GARDEN. By Charles M'lntosh. Part I. William Blackwood and Sons. The object of this work is " to exhibit all that is known at the present day on the subject of gardening, and to make public the author's long and extensive ex perience and the original views which that experienc6 has developed." It is to consist of two divisions , —the first ornamental and architectural; the second practi cal. The present number contains the introduction, which describes the origin and progress of gardening, and two chapters which treat of the formation and arrangement of fruit gardens and garden walls. The following is extracted from the introduction : " The gardenia of Solomon, the earliest of which we have any certain account, are described as having been of a quadrangular form, and surrounded by a high wall. The exact Corm and arrangement are still in most gene ra use. They cwitained aviaries, wells, and streams of water, indispensable in warm climates. " Tee gardens of Cyrus and other Persian kings were distinguished for their romantic situations, great extent, and diversity of uses and products, and were in their day reckoned among the wonders of the world. " The celebrated hanging gardens-of Babylon furnish us with the first notice of terraces being introduced into gardens; and although Herodotus and others are silent on the subjec`, it is not improbable that these terraces had their usual decorations of parapets, vases, Btc., as we learn that they were planted with trees of various kinds. We also learn that the different terraces and groves con tained fountains, seats, parterres, and banquetting rooms, and combined the minute beauties of flowers - and foliage with masses of shade and extensive prospects. Inaeed most of the elements of a modern architectural garden are clearly alluded to in connexion with these ancient ones, if we except the great varieties of flowers and plants. Even in these, however, they were not altoge ther deficient; for we learn from Xenophon's ' Memorab,' "that wherever the. Persian King Cyrus resides, or what ever place he visits in his dominions, he takes care that the paradices (or gardens) shall be filled with every- - thing both beautiful and useful the soil can produce." HER MAJESTY'S THEATR/L—Jobannft Wagner, for whom the Operas are disputing, but respecting whose ultimite whereabout we believe there is little question, will arrive in London in a few days.

A more admirable number of this distinguished periodical has not for a considerable time past made its appearance, Diversified as the eleven articles constituting the contents are, they are each of them marked by -intelligence, three or four of them being upon their, respeCtive subjects really masterly disserta tions. A delightful chapter, in which " Sir Roger de Coverley" as edited, from the " Spectator," by W. Henry Will, is passed under very genial criticism, is followed by a brief paper publishing for the first time, "The Garland," by - Horace Walpole—a curiosity of literature for which the Quarterly is indebted to Mrs. Bedford, of Upper Seymour-street, the wife of the . grancleon of Walpole's confidential deputy in the Ex chequer.: Written in 1761 in the most adulatory . style - towards - the King, this " Garland " con trasts strangely enough with the " Memoirs of George III.," written in 1760, and penned in a tone scarcely less than scurrilous towards the Sove reign. It reveals a deplorable insincerity in " lorry's" nature„ and must tend more than anything yet brought to light, to injure his reputation. A review of the Diary of General. Patrick Gordon," is fol loWed again by a slaughtering attack upon some " lt , :cent Epics,"—lnfling ,mince-meat of poor Joseph Cottle's " Alfred," no less than of the " Alfred " of John Fitchett, attorney-at-law, and client of the muses—whose name was presumed by himself to be numbered with thoie of Homer, Virgil, and Milton. Then, again, William Richard Harris suffers castigation for his " Napoleon "—a sort of soluipedalisn rendering'of Alicon into metre. "The Sacred Incidents " of some behemoth of a bard cal ling himself "Psychologist," are likewise considered with careful attention—the critic unfolding in their regard a priiject entertained by the author such as if realized would have utterly eclipsed the 'Crystal Palace and its contents, the Great Exhibition —yielding 1,000 per cent. and unfolding to the ravished sepses . of the beholders a quarter of a mil lion of square feet of pictures (representing every in cident from the Creation to the Resurrection), these pictures in their turn being illustrated by a poem and creed (delivered by a first-rate elocutionist) of proper tiouate dimension I "Imagine," says the Quarts Review,— " Imagine Psychologist in his rostrum and the pictures in front of him—the crowd with one eye on the painted scene, and the other on the ' author and designer' en thusiastically acting W.—fancy his frenzied declamation, and The band accompanying him in the musical inter ludes'—and suppose all this to be continued for three consecutive days before the same spellbound and enrap tured audience, and it is impossible to deny that it would have been, as the prospectus promised, the most novel spectacle ever presented to an English public.' The nearest approuch to it—for, we believe, the famous tragedy in 25 acts, composed by Nat Lee in Bedlam, never reached the stage—seems to have gratified the dAys of Goldsmith, who paid five shillings to hear some Psychologist of Lilliput read a printed ode, of which Johnson said that bolder words and more timorous meaning were never brought together.'" The solemn passage in which the author of this colossal epic of epics - claims to himself the copyright of all bis ideas of these illustrations, is altogether too rich in its way to be omitted. Listen : " This work having been written with the intention of its, bring produced before the public in the form of read ings or recitations, to be accompanied by a complete series of dioramic representations—and upwards of two hundred and fifty of such, to illustrate the first two volumed., tieing now in progress by the author—he is desirous of giving his own pictorial rendering to the conceptions contained therein, in order that his meaning stonld be folly eirib.ciied. He therefore makes the sub jects herein imagined to be copyright with the poetry, until such retririction'is removed." Well may the critic remark that the notions of Psychologist as to monopoly and copyright " are evidently on a par with the rest of his ideas ",--seeing that .he has in the above paragraph solemnly issued a decree that " no one is to paint a picture from any chapter in Scripture be tween the creation and the Red Sea until he shall be pleased in the plenitude of his power to dissolve the injunction!" The Rev. Henry Stubbing is not alto gether oveilooked for the temerity with which he has given to the press a work rather profanely entitled " Jesus ;" another wight, Thomas Hawkins to wit, being subjected in lik- manner to a literary flagellation for the nine books which he blasphemously designates ".The Wars of Jehovah in Heaven, Earth, and Hell ;" while - the critic, in addition to all this, ventures to break a lance in the name of" Luther" with the Rev. Robert Montgomery. The article is altogether one of the most slashing, and sparkling. and satirical dia tribes on " Recent Epics " that could well be desired by the most vehement antagonists of that bathos which has been happily termed the Art of Sinking ! The subsequent contribution is a masterly treatise on the " Progress of Comparative Anatomy," opening with a panegyric on the immortal founder of the science, one of the giant minds of England, the great John Hun ter, and afterwards recounting the very wonderful development of the science consequent on the re searches of Richard Owen—the celebrated professor upon whose shoulders the mantle of Hunter is not incorrectly said to have fallen, and who is nobly and aptly styled the Cuvier of this country. One anec dote reentioned here of Owen is worth repeating. When he meditated returning to the navy as a surgeon, having been formerly on the books of the Admiralty as a midshipman, the young anatomist called upon his eccentric instructor Abernethy, to bid him farewell What is all this?' said Abernethy—' Where are you going?' " Going to sea, sir.' " Going to sea—going to the devil!' " I hope not, sir. "'Go to, sea! Yon had better, I tell you, go to the devil at once'—reiterated glorious John—dwelling on the temptations, the d i fficulties, the loss of time and fame that must be the result of so rash a step, and in sisting on another inter view after the pause of a week. Owen revisited his rough hut downright friend at the expiration of that time, when Abernethy proposed an appointment in the College of Surgeons. This was ac cepttd—our youthful anatomist found himself happily associated in congenial labours with one of congenial mind" ; ; and so the navy lost a good officer, and science gained one'of her brightest ornaments." Some among the more memorable results of the re searches of Professor Owen are thereafter enume rated. Political articles in the Quarterly for the present instalment of the year range in subjects from the " Bohemian Embassy to England, Spain, &c.," in 1466, to " The Old and the New Ministers" of 1852. A timely chapter is also given about " The Cannon, the Musket, and the Rifle," with incidental allusions to other fire-arms. " California versus Free-trade" is the title of another contribution ; and, after an historical reference to the " First Ten Years of the Reign of George III.," suggested by the" history" .of Lord- - Mahon, by the "Grenville Papers," and by tha - " Memoirs" of the Marquis of Rockingham, the Quarterly indulges itself in a somewhat sareastio_critieism on the last romantic vo lume about the " Restoration," from the pen of M. de Lamartine. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT NORTHERN.—TOWN'S LINE.—The public and the shareholders in this company will be glad to learn that this line. is now likely to be soon completed and opened for traffic, the various works on the Retford and Hougham eontracts, about thirty miles in length, being, by direction of Sir William Cubitt, under the manage ment CfMr. •Billinton, C.E., of Wakefield.

Slll,—There are five races on the cavd for to-morrow, three of which will not close and name till this evening; the starters for th e o th er two are as f o llows: Tuesday's Riddl eswort h S ta k es • ' Di t ch Mile. The Nabob, Bst. 71b. (N a t) ; Fill y by St. Martin, out of Toga, Bst. 41b. (Norman) ; R osary , B st . 41b., or Mopes, Bst. 71b. (Robinson); doubtf u l. Newmarket Handi cap; Cl er mont Course. Officious, Harding°, The P roctor , T op h ana (d.), Abdethaman, Corypl - 6?, Odessus, F a th er Th ames , The Old Lad, In gratitude, The Littl e S avage , D e l ia co lt, Bardulph, Ca racara, Pluck, and M ar i a . O ne o f L or d Clifden's may also start:, but havi ng rece i ve d no definite information on this bead, I can not say which, or whether any of his will go. _ __ ... . The Riddlesworth, as I remarked lest week, will be WWI by THE Nanos, Lord Clitden's couple are doubt ful starters, in consequenue of being n ot altogether sound upon th e i r p i ns; one, h owev , er , Magnets, in all probability, may b e started for t h e off (:Hance.l have hither to g i ven no very decidedopinion on the Newmarket Handicap, I will give ray final one now. The field, as will be been by the list of starters above, will be somewhere about fifteen in ntuiaber, that is, if Lord Exeter should start one. As it is possible, in con sequence of her not being quite the thing, that I may be deprived of my former choice, Topeanta I must attempt to tied a winner elsewhere. Officious and Harchuge both look mischievous, the former on account of her speed, and the latter in coneequeece of being jockeyed by Nat. The Proctor, though he wail receive the assistance of that eleverjockey, Young Cleburne, I can not have for au instant. Abrierhasaan is good for nothing. Corypaae, as cockboats are very fashionable things among the sporting writers of the day, I shall take as my wager boat on the present occasion; in other words, I consider her to be the only outsider worth an investment, and as she is in good work, and will be tooled by a respectable jockey (T. Osborne, I believe) her chance is by no means a bad one. Odessus will never do. Father Thames and the Old Lae are much of a muchness; both will run well and one m em win, but I very much doubt the accompliehmeut of such a per formance. Ingratitude ought to have a chance now, if she never possessed one before, but, notwithstanding her light weight, I do not think her able to beet her com petitors in this bout. The Little Savage, called half ' bred, is a very superior hale fellow, and on this occasion may show the world that he possesses a good turn of speed. Mountain Flower, I understand, is in the missing list. T he Delia colt is 01 no acceuut. Bardolph, in the best form possible, is a dangerous looking animal to stand against, but I cannot say that I hold him in the seine bigia estimation his friends and backers du. lam tolerably well convinced that he will obtain a place, but have very serious doubts about it being the first one; I should recommend no liberties being taken with him. Caracara will figure prominently in the ruck. Poodle is a doubtful starter. Royalty nag be placed in the same category. Plumstead, Pluck, and Snarry cannot stand a chance of winning, when Maria is handicapped at no mere than 4st. 101 b. To draw any remarks to a conclusion in the absence of Tophana, I should select MARIA, BARDOLPH, and CORIPHEE to occupy the first, second, and third places; and expect to see the foremost portion of the ruck consist of The Old Lad, The Little Savage, Hardinge, and Officious. The betting has undergone considerable change since Saturday morning; large sums have been invested on Bardolph and The Old Lad for the principal handicap, a good (hal on Lapidist and Sophistry for the Column Slakes, a moderate amount on Grecian for the Claret, on Midas and Lamartine tor :he Port, and en Aluoran for the Thursday's 100 Sovs. Stakes.

On Saturday Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the Solicitor- General, was elected without opposition to the seat for this borough, succesively filled and vacated (from various causes), during the short space of 13 months, by Sir John Hobhouse, Mr. Thoby Prineep, and Mr. Wigram Crawford. Nor is the present Learned Member's connexion with the borough likely to be of a more enduring character. At best he would only have held on till the end of the session ; but while in the act of procuring his return for Harwich the fatal termination of Lord Rendlesham's illness has created a vacancy for the eastern division of Sufiblk ; and although in the negotiations which were pending with a view to the next Parliament, Sir Fitzroy's overtures for that seat were not very graciously received, the leaders of the Conservative party have in this sudden emergency found him the only man to their bend, and the form of a requisition, and his consent to offer himself as a candidate for East Suffolk, had all been gone through before even the Hon. Gentleman appeared on the Harwich hustings ; so that that borough will brobably see another—a fifth—election even during the remainder of the pre sent Parliament. Of the proceedings of the dsy, in which there was very little demonstration of feeling, a brief record will suffice. Mr. FRANCIS HALES, auctioneer, and Mr. W. FRESHFIELD, surgeon, respectively proposed and se conded Sir Fitzroy Kelly, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament; and the Mayor (after asking if there was any other candidate to be proposed) declared the Learned Gentleman to be duly elected. Sir FITZROY KELLY, amidst the cheering of his political partisans, then stood forward and addressed the assembly, chiefly expatiating upon the capacity of Harwich Harbour for becoming the great emporium of commerce in this greatest of commercial countries —commending the local efforts (in the steps taken for carrying out the new Pier Bill) to contribute to that result, and promising all the aid which, as a public man or as an individual, he could ?fiord to it. Passing from local to political subjects, the Hon. Member said he would glance for a very few moments at one or two of those great questions which were at this moment agitating the public mind. The country was nolonger divided into the two great parties of WThig and Tory, but into two other parties, via., the advocates of free trade, and those who opposed the further progress of that system. He should probably be told that it was premature at the present moment to enter upon that question, and that it was for the next Parliament to determine whether that system which bad already advanced so far shall be not only continued, but extended, or whether some attempt should not be made, so to improve, regu late, and modify the financial system of this country, as it affected both commerce and agriculture, as to do something like equal justice to all classes of her Majesty's subjects.—(Hear.) But as the time must come, and that before they were many months older, when they would have again to select Members to re present them in Parliament, it behoved them to give this questio n , i n elits relative bearings, their best con sideration. H e w i s h e d not to b e un d erstoo d as set ting himself against the general principles of the sys tem which a deceased statesman introduced into this country. He beli eve d th at t h at system was r i g h t an d just in principle—it was that of eq u a li s i ng . i n a f a i r ratio, not only the import dud-% but taxation gene rally, as diffused among all classes of the population, whether agri cu l tural, manufacturing, or commercial. —(Hear.) B u t w h en that which ought to be equal and well proporti one d was carried too far, they ought to consider whether its effects, so far from being beneficial, will not beco me d estructive to the veryinterests it was intended to support. He knew he should be told to consider its effects in other respects, as regarded commerce and nav i gat i on they were favourable. This was a matter of which those he was addressing were qualified to judge, and he asked them if those measures —the ex cess of them he meant—not the original measures conducted through Parliament in 1842, 1843, and 1844; but others which had followed, such as the na vigation laws, had tended to advance the trade and prosperity of the harbour, or the success of its ship.. building ?—(Hear, hear, No, no, and a voice --"It ha'nt done it no hurt.") As to the perhaps more im portant question of the corn-laws, they were told that because 3,000,000 quarters more wheat had beenim ported in 1850 than in 1846, that the people of this country had of necessity eaten that quantity more bread than in the first-named year—but statistical returns showed on the other band that the decrease in the growth of corn in this country had been more than to the extent of 3,000,000 quarters, so thatin stead of that quantity being produced and sold by the farmers of this country, it had bad to be purchased with British gold, and foreign growers had reeped the benefit.—(Hear, hear.) This was a matter upon which they would do well to bear in mind at the general election, together with a due regard as to what men were most likely to be able to advance their local interests; and for himself, brief as his con nexion with the borough would probably be, as long as he should be able, or in a position to serve it, in a national point of view, he should feel himself bound, by every tie of gratitude, to do so.—(Cheers.) The proceedings closed with the usual rounds of cheers for the new Member, the Mayor, and other popular favourites ; and about en hour afterwards the Hoo. Member started for the Manningtree station, on his return to town. BRISTOL.—We still remain without a Tory candi date, Mr. Hubbard, the deputy governor of the Bank of England, who was so confidently spoken of last week, being now out of the field. Various reasons are assigned for the withdrawal of the gentleman, but the explanation given by the leading Tories is that he was found to be a Puseyite, which circumstance would place entirely out of the question any support from the Evangelical section of the Church of Eng land. There is now a talk of getting up a requisi tion to the present Conservative Member, Mr. P. AV. S. Miles, requesting him, in the difficulty into which the party has been thrown, to forego his intention of resigning. The Liberal candidates, Mr. Berkeley and Mr. Langton, are certain of success. BODMIN.—In addition to the four candidates already in the field (Mr. Wyld, Mr. Lacy, the Hon. Captain Vivian, and Mr. Henderson), two other gentlemen have " come out"—Mr. Capel Whitehurst and Mr. J. Sidney Smith, the latter being a Protectionist. CHATHAM.—On Thursday evening a meeting of the electors of Chatham was held at the Chest Arms Tavern, to receive a communication from the Liberal candidate, Mr. Romaine, relative to his intention of retiring from the contest. Dr. Ely was called to the chair, and the large room was densely crowded on the occasion. Mr. Romaine, after thanking his frie n d s .ee_ for their kindness and the support which had hand in offered him, said, from the experience he had the course of his canvass, he felt it to for a gent leman .. of in terest that he should make way after e xplaining the more weight than himself; and, . conclusion, he in be to their reasons which had led him to hi t s hi s s oc successor, Admiral in troduced to the meeting, the late Administra- ' Lord of the Admiralty under to-day, hut had been ewas Sir James Sterling, who haadsdrfilled the office of First addressing the electors, tion.

Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and after giving three hearty cheeis severally for Admiral Stirling, Mr. Romaine, and Lord Mulgrave, the meeting separated. CARDIGAN DISTRICT or BOROUGHS. Mr. Pryse Loveden has completed the canvass of these boroughs, which consist of Cardigan, Aherystwitb, Adper, and hammer, with every probability of success, although a contest is not unlikely, as John Inglis Jones, Esq., of Derry Ormond, has, in compliance with a requisi tion from some of the electors, come forward as a candidate on the Conservative interest, and has com menced a canvass, but from the preponderating in• fluence, of the families of _Fuse and Powell in this district, which they have always exerted in favour of the Liberal side, there is but a very small chance of Mr. Jones's ultimate success, even if he should go to the poll, which is doublul. EAST CUMBERLAND.—The Carlisle Journal states, that an attempt is to be made by the Tories to get up, at the suggestion of Lord Lonsdale, a requisition to Mr. G. 11. Head, soliciting him to COUlt• .oTiVad fo r East Cumberland. The present Members, Howard and Marshall, it is generally suppose d ' ° ever, are secure of re-electiom. that EVESHAM.—The electors here are det ermineduncote there shall be a contest, considering o l a t bernselves, a Ai li ess w rs : election, for reasons well know!, c ~,,, I . uraour , breach of their constitutional pr 11° a • m.r. for .Lincoln, is is current that Mr. Hobbouse , to he a candidate on free trade a nd Liberal principles. Sir Henry Willoughby is expected to visit Evesham in a few days. GREFNWICH.—The requisition to Mr. Chambers, to allow himself to be again nominated as a candidate for the representation of the borough of Greenwich, has been signed by nearly 1,300 electors, who pledge themselves to use every endeavour to secure his elec tion. Of this number, we understand, above 500 persons voted on the last occasion for Admiral Stewart, when Mr. Chambers obtained 1,244 votes ; and although the whole of the electors who voted for Mr. Chambers at the late election have not signed the requisition, there is not one instance where any objec tion has been made to again vote for Mr. Chambers. His cause is gaining strength daily, and his supporters are working in his favour with zeal, activity, and efficiency. The leading Reformers of the borough, who stood aloof from taking any active part in the last election, are one after 'another giving their adhe sion to his party.—Kentish Mercury. GnEENocK —At a meeting of the electors of Greenock on Thursday, resolutions were passed' de claring confidence in Lord Melgund. His Lordship was present, and a committee was appointed for con ducting his canvass. LezunEru.:—The following address has been exten sively circulated :—" We, the undersigned electors of the borough of .Lambeth, feeling convinced that any attempt to re-impose a tax on the food of the people will meet with the firm and uncompromising opposi tion of our present Members, the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyncouo-, and W. Williams, Esq., and assured also that their continued efforts will be used to amend our representativ e system, promote financial reform, and adopt measures for the advancement of civil and religious liberty, do earnestly invite the co operation of the eleetere and non-electors at large to secure the return of those gentlemen as our represen tatives in the ensuing Parliament." The Lambeth people, sinking all minor differences, have determined to return their present Members; and to the above address there are already the signatures of upwards of a thousand of the most influential men in the borough. NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. The Nottingham Journal says that Lord Robert Clinton is prosecuting his canvass with so much success that his return for the division is almost certain. NOTTINGHAM.--Tbere are now three candidates for this borough, Mr. Walter, Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Girl borne. From their addresses, says the Nottingham Journal, it might be difficult to choose amongst them, for all are Free-traders, and all are Reformer., the dif ference in the latter respect being only in degree, and in the former none at al/. NORTH Devon.—The Devon and Exeter Protec tion Society have threatened the constituency of this division of the county with a second Protectionist candidate in the person of Mr. George Stuckley Buck, son of the present Member (L. W. Buck, Esq.), in opposition to Sir Thomas Acland, who has confessed hitn-elf staunch to free-trade principles. After a great.deal of exertions on the part of theiPro tection Society to get up such a requisition as would induce Mr. Buck to stand, the affair has ended in a total failure the candidate is with drawn, and the Protectionists are looking abroad for somebody else. Sir Thomas Acland will be sure to be re-elected it is said. If the Protectionists had not withdrawn their man, the Liberal party, which is very strong in the north of Devon, would have pro bably brought forward lames Wentworth Buller, Esq., of Downes (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter Railway) ; and it is asserted that he would have been returned in conjunction with Sir T. Acland. The Protectionists are now under great apprehension lest the Hon. Gentleman should be introduced. PAISLEY.-0a Wednesday evening a meeting of the electors and non-electors of Paisley was held in the United Presbyterian Church, St. James's-street, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Haly, who has come forward in opposition to Mr. A. Hastie. Bailie Telford occupied the chair. Mr. Hely avowed himself in favour of free trade, household suffrage, vote by ballot, and triennial Parliaments. He was opposed to the en dowment of Maynootb, and would, if elected, vote for its repeal. The sentiments of Mr. Elaly appeared to meet with a favourable reception ; and a motion that he was a fit and proper person to represent Paisley in Parliament was passed unanimously. Mr. Hely, who practises at the English bar, is known as a clever political writer in some of our leading reviews and daily journals.—North British Mail. PRESTON.—Various communications have passed between Henry Raikes, Esq., of Chester, and the committee of the Preston Conservative Association and Registration Society, with a view to his introduc tion to the electors of this borough as a Conservative candidate. Mr. Raikes is son of the venerable Chan cellor Raikes, of Chester, and is himself registrar of that diocese. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the representation of Derby at the last general elec tion.—Preston Chronicle. SOUTH HANTS.—Tee Conservatives have resolved to send a requisition to Lord Henry Cholmondeley, to come forward as candidate for South Hants, and there is every reason to believe his Lordship will comply with such a requisition, and stand as a col league with Mr. Compton in contesting the county. As the requisitionists to Lord Henry will be the prin cipal persons who brought forward Lord Charles Wellesley, it is presumed that the latter will shortly cease to be connected with South Hants. Sir John Barker Mill, Bart., and the principal of the Liberals of South Hunts, will hold a meeting at Matcham's Hotel, in Southampton, on Wednesday next, to adopt preliminary measures to secure the election of Sir George Staunton, Bart., far the southern division of H a mpshire. S HR EWSBURY. — Mr. Shiney, who has so long re presented this borough in Parliament, has, this day ( ri day ) , published a valedictory address to his con stituents, in which he intimates his intention, at the close of the p resent session , to retir e into private life. Mr. Tomline, who represented the borough from 1841 till the general election in 1847, when he was defeated by a small majority , bas, during the la s t three days, been canvassing the electors upon free trade principles with the most complete success. Hi s eleetion may be looked on as certain.

AND MARCH. 30.—A most lamentable occur rence in th e l oss of the Steamer Porto (Portuguese) has thro wn thi s c i ty into the greatest consternation, all her p assengers ST EAMER (3G in number) having perished, and only seven of her crew saved. That unfortunate vessel sailed from this on Sunday morning for Lis bon, and from some cause or another bore up again after being as far south as Figueira, and on taking the bar last evening about six o'clock she struck on some rocks called the " Forcados," inside the bar, when the anchor was let go, but somehow or other she drifted, and, not answering her helm, she got em bedded in a reel of rocks, where no aid could be sent to her; and, night coming on, she went to pieces in a few hours. Among the sufferers are Mr. Joseph Allen, of this place, and two daughters ; Mr. Ander son, from London, shipowner, who was here on ac count of the Harriet, bound to Australia; Mons. Destrees, French Consul at this port ; Mr. Ander son's nephew; Senhor Jose Augusto da Silveira Pinto, nephew of the well-known S,nhor Albano, of Lisbon ; Senbor Anionic) Jose Placid() Braga; Sen hor Francisco Vieira de Sousa Oliveira, of the Com. mercial Bank.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal) To the slang cry of " How are you off for soap," a practical answer has been given by the Committee for promoting the Establishment of Baths and Washhouses for the Labouring Classes. And really the answer proves to be most satisfactory. We do not wish to dis parage any of the numerous efforts made in so many different quarters to wash the Ethiop white; but certainly we do feel a much more lively and practical interest in the philanthropic action of the above admirable associle lion on the social and domestic habits of our own people. Soap and water may indeed seem to many a very unin teresting affair—a thing difficult to get up a display of stump oratory about, except of the most soporiferous kind. It is so disagreeable to get up an agitation about dirt, and to wage war against foul living. There are no drums beat and trumpets blown at the head of such a movement, and as for banners, what could you hold up as a fitting emblem on such an occasion except a foul shirt? But, really, there is much more in this move ment than appears at first sight. For, see what grows out of cleanly habits:— First, health and comfort ; second, decency and self-respect; third, morality and virtue; fourth, religion. No mean authority has pro nounced cleanliness to be " next to godliness." It is a too notorious fact, that the dirty classes are the dan gerous classes; that vice is invariably found to be most prolific in the foulest and worst cleansed habitations. The moral man is generally but a correct index of the physical man; for the moral grows out of the physical. Clean a man's skin, and you do something towards cleansing his mind. You may not thus educate his in telligence, but you prepare him for the reception of true refinement and wisdom. Tho report of the committee above referred to shows that the number of baths taken at the Whitechapel Model Bath-house during the year ending Christmas last, was 156,310; at St. lefartin'!_le the Fields, 213,485; and at Marylebone, 173,157. The number of washers at the first place, during the same and period, was 43,462; at the second, 50,200; at the third, 24,718. Tire total receipts of these th!: ee _.
