1 . v,3 fi , i,_,p_E t ___ .. TO the ELECTORS of the CITY of WEST miNsrEit GENTLEMEN,—IIaving been requested by many o f my f .9 ‘ l , l cw -citizens to gi ve th e more moderate and the Conserva e portion o f the constituency an opportunity of marking their disapproval of the extreme political doctrines which have been avowed by the candidates already in the field, I have the honour to solicit your suffrages. raWonegllstknyoozn to many of you as a man of business resident I shall be prepared to devote myself to your interests. Uncon nected with eith er o f th e great pol i t i cal part i es, I ,hr, o uld desire t o enter Parliament as an independent mem tq liberty to vote for measures rather than for men. I ~jiould not be a p ar t y to any factious attempt to drive Lord Palmerston from power, as I feel that the country owes a debt o f gratitude to him for having preserved peace, and for the resistance ho has offered to reckless innovation in our domestic institutions. Although not opposed to a carefully considered scheme hf,o,arslThe extension of the suffrage, I deprecate violent or changes, and am not prepared to acquiesce in pro lusais which' would, in my opinion, have the effect of swamping the existing voters, upon whom is laid the great burden of taxation. I could not, therefore, support Mr. Baines's Bill now before Parliament, as I believe it to be neither necessary nor desirable to make so considerable a change in the present condition of the franchise. hot a p m rov o e p a p n o y secl to tho ballot, as I believe that it would safeguard to the voter, who, if afraid to act i )e nlY, is scarcely worthy of the trust which it is his duty to discharge for the benefit of the commonwealth. As a sincere member of the Established Church, I believe the cultivation of the most kindly feelings towards those who dissent from its communion tobe essential to its peace and prosperit y. I earnestly hope, therefore, that means ma prosperity. be found for settling equitably and amicably the question of church-rates, as lam unwilling to consent to thSir unconditional abolition. tI wish to see the naval and military forces of this coun ' Maintained in a condition of efficiency, under the con- Viction that such a condition is indispensable to the pre servation of peace, and to real economy in the public service. To the many social questions which occupy the public mind ttt the pr esent day I should desire to give the most careful attention as I believe the prosperity of the nation to be dependent, under the blessing of God, upon the education, o rality, and prov id ence o f a ll c l asses o f h er Majesty s subjects. —I h ave t h e honour to rema i n, G entlemen, your Very obedient servant, WILLIAM HENRY SMITH, Jun. 1 86, Strand May 2, 1865. •117 oVA , - !". • 4, Of aml.2ltelz, ,r, 300kk„ ,, cl*44) .

Capt. Thos. Hope is to receive the captain's good service pension vacant by the promotion of Capt. T. P. Thompson to be Rear-Admiral.

Viscount Templetown, C. 8., Commander of the Forces in the West of England, presented new colours yesterday to the Ist Battalion of the 6th Re giment, stationed at Devonport. The presentation tobk place in the park.

Edmunds lost the said offices by the change of Government in 1834, I had obtained for him from Lord Melbourne the Clerkship of the grown, at that time £6OO, but afterwards raised to £l,OOO a year, and which office in 1848 he (the said Edmunds) exchanged for the Clerkship in the House of Lords, the salary of which was £1,500 a year; and that he thereby gained £5OO, and not £3OO a year, as I am informed he has sworn before the committee. And I further say, that shortly afterwards the said Edmunds obtained an addi tional £6OO a year as Clerk to the Commissioners of Pa tents, and that he added to his already large income a fur ther sum of not less than £3OO a year from discounts upon patent stamps. We have been requested to publish the following letter and affidavit : Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 2 vol-., 2i K. HISTORIC PICTURES. By A. BAILLIE COCHRANE, M.P. " Cannes, April 25. " My Lord,—Mr. Edmunds has thought proper to introduce into the late inquiry as to the circum stances of his appointment to the office of Clerk of Patents a long statement as to various money trans actions which, he says, took place between him and me. " This statement I refuted on oath before the Committee of the House of Lords, but ;the oppor tunity of meeting it by evidence in detail was re fused me by the Committee on the ground that the matter was collateral to the inquiry.' " I beg to state— From the Times, April 24.—" Mr. Baillie Cochrane has published two entertaining volumes of studies from history. They are lively reading. 'My aim,' he says, ` has been to de pict, events generally known in a light and, if possible, a picturesque manner.' Mr. Cochrane has been quite success ful in carrying out his Intention. The work is a study of the more interesting moments of history—what, indeed, the author himself calls it, ' Historic Pictures.' " jlis EXCELLENCY the HON. C.

This event, which , under any circumstances, w seems to do so mere str ong l y a t this time. when so much ap peared to depend upon M r .

PROSPECTUS. This Company is formed for the purpose of converting the £lOO Shares of the Continental Bank Corporation into Shares of £2O, and to carry out the amalgamation of that Bank with the Bank of Messrs. E. Landau and Co., of Alexandria, and for facilitating commercial, financial, and monetary transactions between this country, the Continent, and Egypt. Five of the £2O Shares in this Company will be allotted to the Shareholders in the Continental Bank, in exchange for each of their present £lOO Shares. The £2O Shares allotted in exchange for Shares on which £25 has been paid, will be credited with £5 paid up ; and those allotted in exchange for Shares on which £l5 only has boon paid, will be credited with £3 paid up. The arrangements which have been made for amalga matingthe business of the above establish mentsaarend an su m eha a s g , i a n i g ded by the high Egyptian connections of Messrs. Landau, cannot fail to secure to this Company a very extensive and profitable business. regular T banking operations, has sMessrs. Landau and Co., at Alex andria,he einstaabdlaisithi m on en to t e i f t t This business has always long enjoyed an extensive connection with producers and exporters of produce in Egyp yielded most favourable results; and no better p roof of this can be given than the fact that the firm, during t he whole of its existence, as well as the other banks lately established in Egypt, have experienced an absolute immunity from loss in their transactions of this class of bnsiness. The daily increasing trade of Egypt with Europe, espe cially with England, is also a sure guarantee for the en hanced future success of this Company; the profits hitherto realised by Messrs. Landau and Co. are alone sufficient to yield a large return upon the capital proposed to be called up; and the several partners of the Firm, in order to show their confidence in the future success of the Company, have taken a large number of Shares, and will continuo in the active management of the business at Alexandria. The Bank has also secured the co-operation, as a Direc tor, of Mr. Bravay, whose exertions will be especially de voted to the extension of the Bank's relations with the Egyptian Government, a class of transactions in which he has hitherto engaged, with very successful results. The amalgamated establishments propose liquidating all their present transactions up to the date of amalgamation. The Articles of Association of this Company, and the Agreement entered into for acquiring the business of Messrs. Landau and Co., can be seen on application at the Office of the Solicitors. A doposit of £1 upon each Share must be paid at the Offices of either of the Bankers of the Company, on applica tion, according to the annexed Form. Forms of Application for Shares may bo obtained of the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, and of the Bankers and Brokers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be retained by the Bankers.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared In the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be I.nown, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks ant Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in "Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large.

" Henry, Lord Brougham and Vaux, make oath and say that when I made my affidavit in the above matter on the 27th March last I knew nothing of the specific charges made against me or against any member of my family by the said Edmunds, nor did I know that the committee ap pointed to investigate the above matters intended to pursue their inquiries beyond the circumstances of the said Ed munds's original appointment as Clerk of the Patents, and to travel into the private concerns of my family, and among others into the circumstances of a mortgage debt alleged to have been incurred by me in 1811, more than half a century ago. Now I make oath and say, that I made over the pre mises so mortgaged, and which are known by the name of the Howes Farm, which forms no part of the Brougham estate, to my late brother, James Brougham, in the year 1810. That from that time no part of the rents has ever been received by me or by any person on my account or for my benefit. That my said brother James was put into possession of the said premises in 1810, and continued to be sole bene ficial owner thereof until his death in Dec., 1833. That from his death until the present time the whole rents of the said premises have by my direction been applied towards the payment of his debts and liabilities. That the money borrowed in 1811 on the security of the said premises was borrowed by my said brother James solely for his own use, and was wholly received and wholly enjoyed by him. That the legal estate in the said premises being still in me, I was a necessary party to the said mortgage deed, which I executed in 1811, and which I have never seen from that day to this, nor heard of till Oct. last. That I have been informed there was some transfer of the said mortgage in 1827, but I say that I was never told of any such transaction at the time, that I never received nor dealt with any part of the money, and that I never executed any such transfer. And I further say that no claim has ever been made to my knowledge for interest upon any such debt, and that I did not know and did not believe that at the time of my said brother's death in 1833 such mortgage still existed, and therefore that I, froth my brother's death until the present time, directed all the rents of the saidpremises to be applied in relief of diffe rent liabilities affecting my said brother's estates. That the first time I heard of any claim was in a letter from James Leman, solicitor of the said Edmunds, some time in Octo ber last, in which he stated that the said Edmunds's funds were exhausted, and that he had nothing left but a mort gage " upon the Brougham property," or words to that effect. And I further say that, well knowing there was no such mortgage upon the Brougham property, I directed my brother William Brougham to write to the saidLeman that " I knew of no such debt and that I owed no such sura. , That late in the same month of October the mortgage deed of 1811 upon the said Howes Farm was found, as I have bowl informed, in the muniment room at Brougham; but I was not there, and I never saw, and never since have seen the said deed. And I further say that after I had left Eng land I was informed that the question of the validity of the said mortgage was to be referred to Lord Cranworth. And I further say I have been informed, and believe, that the said Edmunds has stated upon oath that I was kept inigno ranee of such reference. Now, I say that such statement is absolutely false, for I was not only informed of such in tended reference at the time, but I afterwards sent to the said Lord Cranworth, in December last, from Cannes, a paper signed by me, in which I stated that I submitted in all respects to his arbitration and award. And I further say that acting under the firm conviction and belief that I owed no such debt, and that the claim So made against me by the said Leman on behalf of the said Edmunds in respect of a debt of £5,000 alleged to be secured on the Brougham property was, as regarded me, an unjust claim, I directed my said brother William to resist and oppose the same by every means in his power, and to urge upon the said Lord Cranworth that, inasmuch as no interest had ever been de manded of or paid by me, or by my order, or with my knowledge, privity, or consent, in respect of any such debt, that such liability, if it ever existed, ought not now to be pressed against me, and I believe that my said brother did accordingly resist such claim on my behalf. And I further say that if, as I have been informed and believe, my said brother ever offered to take upon himself such debt, such offer was purely voluntary on his part, and, having been made without my knowledge or consent, could in no way render me liable for any such debt. And I further say that the said premises are now liable to the claims of certain creditors of my said brother James to an amount largely exceeding the value thereof, so that if said claim for £5,000 were extinguished by the money which I am informed and believe is secured on the said Edmunds's death by a policy for £3,000, or inany other manner, the said premises would become at once available to satisfy the claims of the said creditors, but would confer no benefitupon me, or upon any member of my family. And I further say that neither I nor any existing member of my family have ever benefited, or ever can, under any possible circumstances, benefit, by any payments that have ever been made by the said Ed munds, in respect of the said debt, or otherwise. And I further say I have been informed and believe that the said Edmunds has stated upon oath that Alfred Montgomery, a Commissioner of the Board of Inland Revenue, told him that I had said to him, the said Montgomery, that I had given him, the said Edmunds, the said Patent-office, on the understanding that the proceeds were to be applied for the benefit of his brothers and sisters. Now, I say that such statement, whether made by the said Edmunds or by the said Montgomery, is false ; for I say that I did not give the said Edmunds the said Patent-office upon the under standing that it was to be for the benefit of his brothers and sisters, or upon or coupled with that or with any other condition or understanding whatever ; and I further say that I never said either to the said Montgomery, or to any other person, that I had so given the said office, and I say that such statement is altogether untrue, whether made by the said Montgomery—but which I entirely disbelieve—or invented by the said Edmunds. And I further say—that when the said Patent-office became vacant, by the death of William Henry Scott, I had full power and absolute right to have given it to any member of my own family, as Lord Northington and as Lord Eldon had done, the former to his daughter in her marriage settlement, the latter to his son, William Henry Scott; and that if I had followed the example of my predecessors in office, some member of my family would have enjoyed for his life a sinecure of nearly £4,000 a year; but, so far from having the desire to unduly enrich my family at the expense of the public, I voluntarily abolished the said sinecure, replacing it by the said office of £4OO a year, which I gave to the said Edmunds. And, lastly, I say, that from November, 1830, to November, 1834,f the said Edmunds enjoyed by my gift the twoooffi s 0 Pursebearer and Beeretary to the Commissions the Peace, and that such offices, while I held the Great Seal, were paid by fees, and averaged together a sum exceeding £l,lOO a year, although they were afterwards, as I believe in Lord Cottenh 's time, reduoed in amount and paid by faxed annual sums. And I further say that when the said rep.-~-~— mvo - niptoßearpov. • EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY (TIIE LATE ALBERT Sllll'll.'B ROOM).

Her Majesty's ironclad frigate Bellerophon, 16, 1,000-horse power, fitting at Chatham, will, in ac cordance with orders received from the Admiralty, be at once prepared for the first division of the Steam Reserve. She has commenced shipping the heavy portions of her engines, machinery, and boilers, manufactured for her by Messrs. John Penn and Sons, and in the course of two or three weeks will be taken into one of the vacant docks at Chatham to have the remainder of hat= armour bolted to her sides, and to be equipped for sea. The Windsor Castle, East Indiaman, Commander Pryce (one of Messrs. Green's fleet), arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Calcutta, with military invalids and time-expired men on board from various regiments serving in India, in the fol lowing strength.—Officers accompanying the troops —Lieut. Kemp, lst Battalion 4th Infantry ; Ensign Wither, 28th Battalion; Capt. Graham, 33d Battalion; Lieut. Walsh, 44th Battalion ; and Surg. Ekin, Medical Staff Corps. Invalided men for the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, 113, with 4 women and 10 children. Time-expired men to join the depots of their respective regiments, 141, with 6 women and 10 children. The troops will be disem barked from the Windsor Castle at Spithead by Government steamers this morning, and the shipwill afterwards resume her voyage to London. The Tartar, 20, screw, corvette, Capt. John M. Hayes, C. 8., the arrival of which at Spithead, from China and Japan, was reported in The Sun yester day, sailed again from Spithead last evening for Sheerness, where she is ordered to dismantle and pay out of commission. Capt. Hayes took com mand of her at Sheerness on August 13, 1860. The turret-ship question enters upon a new phase this week in the assembling of a commission of naval officers to inspect and report upon, for the informa tion of the Lords of the Admiralty, a set of draw ings for a seagoing turret Vessel that have been pre pared by the chief draughtsman of Portsmouth dockyard, Mr. Scullard, by order of the Admiralty, and under the supervision of Capt. C. P. Coles,R. N. in order to meet the views of that officer on the re quirements of a sea-going turreted ironclad. A short time since it was stated in The Sun that Capt. Coles officially handed these drawings in to the Admiralty some time during the first week in April last. The appointment of the present com mission is therefore the second decisive step taken in the matter by the Admiralty since the order was given to their draughtsman at Portsmouth to pre pare the drawings. The commission is composed of the following members :—Vice-Admiral the Earl of Lauderdale, K.C.8., chairman ; Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8., Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., Capt. J. J. Kennedy, C. 8., Capt. H. B. Phillimore, with Mr. Arthur Price, paymaster, R.N., and attached to her Majesty'sship Fisgard at Woolwich, for " re vision of dockyard instructions," as secretary. The duties of the commission are to report upon the " stowage," " accommodation for officers and crew," " rig," " armament," and other essential points in the designs for the ship. In fixing upon the size of the ship both Capt. Coles and the Admiralty appear to have selected Mr. Reed's Pallas as the compara tive ship, and to have assimilated her general di mensions as nearly as may be possible to the lines of the turret-ship, the dimensions and character of both being as follows : PALLAS. T URRZT SHIP. Length between perpendiculars 2 51 0 ... 225 0 Ditto, keel for tonnage Extreme breadth 5O 0 ... 49 0 Ditto, for tonnage Ditto, moulded 4B 1 ... 48 1 Depth in hold l6 5 ... 20 2 Draught of water 24 3 ... 22 6 Burden in tons (builder's measure ment) 2,372 ... 2,409 Thickness of armour 4iin. ... 6in. - Armaments. Four 100 prs. Two 600 Weight of broadsides 3101 b. The Pallas carries her guns in a central square armoured tower. The turret-ship is designed to carry her two guns in one turret, the base of the turret being protected by a square armoured box. Both vessels carry an armour belt at the water line, the Pallas completely round, but that of the turret ship to terminate at 25ft. abaft her stem, but run ning round her stern and protecting her rudder head. At the termination of the belt line, 25ft. from her stem, a 'thwart-ship armoured bulkhead will be run across and connect the ends of the belt forward, while at the same time the ship's bows, where there is no belt, will be so subdivided and interlaced that no shot passing through can inflict any serious injury. In fact, they will be much safer without armour at all than if coated with thin plating such as it is now the custom to plate the bows of our ironclads with. The armour-plating and its backing of the turret-ship are designed to be of equal strength to those of the Bellerophon, and her deck will have an underlie of 1-inch iron, in lieu of the usual 1-inch plating beneath her wooden planking. The turret-ship is to be propelled by en gines of 600-horse power—the same power as those of the Pallas—and her estimated speed is 13.8 knots. We are not quite certain what rate of estimated speed is given to the Pallas. 2,409 tons appears but a small tonnage for a seagoing turret-ship, and we are informed a vessel of one-half more tonnage, with a proportionate increase in her engine power, would two turrets, each with two 600-pounder guns, and would attain a speed of 14.3 knots. In the composition of the committee to invest i g ate report upon the plans of the turret-ship n friends, fault . a t can be found by Capt. Coles or any o f his o dy, b but to the committee collectivelyeraised as a per haps, the objection mayin that b it has been nominated by the Admiralty alone, and is solely composed o f naval officers. Had Captain Coles been allowed to nominate such a man as Mr. Laird to represent him in the committe e it would have been a gracious act on the part of the Admiralty, and possibly might have silenced any after murmurs from the advocates of the turret prin ciple. We very much reg r e t to l earn that Captain co nfined to his room at his resid ence at V Co elnets is con fined by illness, and will therefore be unable to attend the committee to explain any portion of the drawings connected with the turret and guns. Mr. Scullard, the designer of the ship, is, however, quite competent to do this, and if Capt. Colesis well advised he will for the present rest from his labours and recruit his health, as a first consideration, leav ing to the Admiralty the responsibility for the ship, the drawings for which have just bee-a placed before them, and which are now undergoing consideration at the hands of the committee. A letter received at Plymouth from a naval officer at Lisbon confirms the statement that the Achilles, on her passage out, rolled less than any of the The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—G-eorge Patterson, master, additional, to the Cumberland for the Star ; Philip W.

HEALTH OF LONDON, (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, April 29, the births in London and nine other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,162, the deaths 2,687. The annual rate of mortality in the week in those 10 towns was 25 per 1,000 persons living, and was lower than in the two previous weeks, in each of which it was 27. In London the births of 1,149 boys and 1,065 girls, in all 2,205 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of the 10 years 1855-64 the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,013. The deaths in London in the same period were 1,344. The average number for the 17th week in 10 years (corrected) is 1,332. The deaths in the present returns slightly exceed the estimated number. From zymotic diseases in the aggregate, the deaths were 270 ; 79 children died from whooping-cough ; 55 deaths occurred from typhus, 9 from smallpox, 21 from scarlatina, 4 from diphtheria, and 11 from measles. In the sub-district of St. Paul, St. George-in-the East, 16 deaths were registered. Of this number, 4 deaths occurred from fever, 4 from whooping cough, 1 from diarrhoea, and 1 from scarlatina. An inquest was held on the daughter of a gunmaker, aged 7 years, who died at 59, Sutton-street, of effusion into pericardium, resultiiig from malignant fever ; there was no medical attendance, and the room was filthy and unwholesome. Two hundred and thirty-nine deaths occurred from disease of respiratory organs (exclusive of phthisis) ; in the previous week the number was 338. One hundred and nineteen persons died from. bronchitis, 86 from pneumonia, 181 from phthisis, 161 from diseases of the brain and nervous system, and 50 from diseases of the heart. The following fatal carriage accidents occurred : —A wholesale tea dealer, aged 60 years, was run over by a cab in Lombard-street. A corn chandler, aged 50 years, fell from a cart at Plumstead. The son of a potman, aged 5 years, was run over by a brewer's dray in Martha-street, Camberwell. The son of a cork-cutter, aged 7 years, was run over by a brewer's dray. The son of a labourer, aged 2 years, was run over by an omnibus. The rate of mortality last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, 28 in Edinburgh, and 28 in Dublin ; 30 in Liverpool, 27 in Manchester, 22 in Salford, 22 in Birmingham, 29 in Leeds, 21 in Bristol, and 31 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 38 per 1,000 dur ing the week ending the 15th ult., when the tempe rature was 2.1 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in tho same week in Londen, where the rate was 27 per 1,000. I In Liverpool the births were 432, the deaths 274 ; in Manchester the births 266, the deaths 185 ; in Salford the births 83, the deaths 46 ; i n Birmingham the births 224, the deaths 136 ; in Leed s the births 170, the deaths 126 ; in Bristol the births 92, the deaths 64 ; in Glasgow the births 389, the deaths 249 ; and in Dublin the births 197, the deaths 169. There were 412 deaths in Vienna during the week ending the 15th ult. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.997 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.12 in. on Monday to 29.79 in. on Friday. The mean tem perature of the air in the week was 54.2 deg., which. is 6.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 60 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 81.5 deg. on Thursday. The lowest night temperature was ',36.1 deg., on Tuesday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 45.4 deg. The mean highest tempe rature of the water of the Thames was 58.9 deg. ; that of the lowest was 57.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 10.2 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 69, complete saturation being represented by 100. The direction of the wind was variable. The high temperature on Thursday, 81.5 deg., is very Temarkable ; it is higher than any on record in the month of April. In April, 1859, the tempera ture was as high as 79 deg., the highest up to the present time observed. This high temperature was not experienced at places whose latitudes exceeded 53 deg. ; for instance, at Birmingham . it was 73 deg., at Wakefield, 63 deg., at Manchester 56 deg., and at Liverpool 55 deg. only. The range of tem perature in southern places on this day was from 30 deg. to 40 deg., while at Manchester it was 13 deg. only, and at Liverpool 10 deg. only. id.
