()fall the enterprises of a commercial character none has • °`rer excited so much attention and interest as that of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The reason of this is perfectly obvious ; the immense Political importance of the Company, as well as the enor mous profit to be anticipated by its Shareholders, together kith the scientific interest attached to it, combining to a ' l agree not found in any enterprise having commercial Profit for its legitimate end. An enterprise so important, and now become so compa ratively easy to accomplish, appeals not only to the great co mmercial interests of Europe and America s but to the Peace of all classes in both countries ; its ben efits to mace and civilisation it is impossible to estimate. , The near approach of the period when the cable is to be 40 id is already the cause of much excitement amongst all l itho are aware of the fact. The date for the Great Eastern steamship's departure rth the cable is actually fixed for the B th July , about a ° -rtlight from the present date, and it is not too much to s ay that from the hour of her leaving the whole continent Europe and America will be intent upon watching her Zogress. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has stifled his warm interest in the undertaking by personally hPecting the cable on board the Great Easte rn about 0 e weeks ago. ;he exceptional character of the undertaking is further 01 wl5l by her Majesty's Government granting the serv i ces of tWo of her Majesty's men-of-war steamers, the Terrible Itt cl the Sphynx, to accompany the Great Eastern, and assist 1 0 the operation of laying the cable. 11 1 calculating the rate of profit of this undertaking , o f co urse everything depends upon the scale of charges adopted _c?' the trans m i ss i o n of messages; the first tariff agreed to with her Majesty's Government was fixed at 2s. 6d. per ?ford, subsequently increased to ss. per word, but as the Pine arrived when the cable would be ready for actual use, !t• Was seen that the mass of business this company would I teniediately find offered to it, would so far neutralise the bone fit of it by completely choking the line, that a representa 10n to the Lords of the Treasury within the last few days ° l l the subject, has led their lordships to consent to the Company, until Ist September next, experimentally ...charging, without restriction, such rates for messages ;,the Company may, on full consideration , deem reason le'"t and proper ;" and it is fully expected that by this , Zangement the net profits will reach one million sterling .1" ann um. The capital of the Company is composed as follows : £lOO,OOO Five per Cent. Debentures. £600,000 Eight per Cent. Preference Shares (of which the present issue forms the balance). , £600,000 Ordinary Shares. '"'e amount required to pay 5 per cent. I nterest on £lOO,OOO Debentures is £ 5 , 000 per annum. „le amount required to pay the Pre erence Dividend of 8 per cent. on • £600,000 (of which the present issue p ti f l OrlllB the balance) 4 8 ,000 „ 0 amount required to pay4per cent Oil £600,000 ordinary capital is Making a total of £77,000 L eaving £923,000 per annum surplus income. Half the mount of revenue above the said £ 77 , 000 is a v ailable for .early bonus to the holders of the said 8 per cent. Prefer- Vice Shares. Therefore, on the above-mentioned calcula to io n, the total available dividend and bonus would amount above 76 per cent. per annum, in addition to the 8 per . Znt• preference as above, making an estimated total din -I.6nd of 84 per cent. per annum on these Preference Shares, 4 - ng, after deduction of 20 per cent. for the formation of t if,.,enewal fund for laying down a new cable, 64 per cent. t u vi ciencl, of which 8 per cent. would be preferential divi dend by Act of Parliament. hat the price of these Shares will be a month hence, such prospects, it is difficult to say, especially as the s ires above given do not, in the opinion of persons come 'tent to judge, at all represent the maximum probable re • but taking them as the basis for calculation, and. ~,,_"naidi e ring the continued demand there must be for mes tZe, consequent upon the ever-increasing business he lp; een the Continent of Europe, England, and America, and W ali ng in mind that this cable will complete the line of i,e 1 ) , - t gra, ph between San Francisco and Ind ia, it is not impro t...:46 that, by the time that telegraph communication be 18116en England and America is an accomplished fact, these ar ea may be worth £2O, or £l5 premium per Share. ij r ena the phalanx of talent existing in the scientific ad , f,,, s ,el's of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and from the B "',btbat the laying of the cable has been entrusted exclu 4;(ny to the eminent Contracting Company who have had i m . ar ge of the manufacture of it, and whose staff of Engi egt2 and Electricians have successfully laid most of the 1 4 ,—"ng cables, whether laid in deep or shallow seas, it t 0 1 Well be believed that every precaution has been taken eoinsure the successful laying of this cable this achieved, e o nly bar to the Shares attaining the high value which i s 1 7 one acquainted with the undertaking places them at , w ijetooved ; this risk, however, may easily be assessed 1. 4 1: 11 it is mentioned that leading insurance companies and i Yd's have underwritten policies embracing every risk tb e ,Ying, insulation, &c., at 25 guineas per cent., showing h f r confidence in the result anticipated. t rally, the Directors of the several Companies interested da y ' enterprise fully anticipate being able to report each nring the laying the favourable progress all believe ilthhataawdtt, will b ft e he success of an undertaking which all look ve a national work. seen from the proposed allotment of the Shares wi t ile distribution of them is intended to be made upon ap p ee 'a basis as possible, so as to give the whole of the 1 3 ,, in cants the assurance of receiving an allotment and of atabf .

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical CU cular," 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 "Punoh," 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 advertisine columns of low newspapers, amongst which too mauy 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 misereahts. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphi- t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the " Medic el Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.U. 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 espec , ally 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, white 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. " Who are tile Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

The vendor holds, and has partly executed, advantageous contracts to the amount of more than £lOO,OOO, for sup plying material to that important national undertaking, as well as many orders for architectural, memorial, and orna mental works, and for street paving and other economical purposes. With these contracts, and the rapidly expanding trade (met by the constantly increasing powers to execute ex tensive orders), there is full and immediately profitable employment for the capital required. The Directors have taken power to create a Sinking Fund by an annual investment with the object of securing to the Shareholders, as far as may be, the value of their paid-up capital at the expiration of the 31 years leases of the quarries ; and the vendor has agreed that for a period of two years the 2,500 Shares, which are to be allotted to him in part payment of purchase money, shall receive no dividend, unless the dividends paid to the Ordinary Shareholders amount to 10 per cent. per annum. It is not expected that more than £6 per share will be called up, the Directors considering that that amount will be ample to support the anticipated extension of the busi ness of the Company. There are no promoters fees, and the preliminary ex penses will be restricted to the moderate outlay absolutely necessary for the formation of the Company.

Until within the last few days the City Liberal Registration Association, which usually takes the initiative at elections in selecting the candidates likely to enlist the confidence of the party, had not brought one forward for the seat about to be vacated by the retirement of Sir J. Duke. When in the autumn of last year Sir James publicly intimated his inten tion of not again presenting himself for re-election at the close of the present Parliament, Alderman W. Lawrence, then lord mayor, became a candidate for the vacant seat in the Liberal interest, and his ad dress has been before the constituency for the last six months; but up.to Friday last his pretensions had not been recognised by the association, with out whose aid the chance of success would be but doubtful at any time. On that day, however, at a special meeting of the society, held at the London Tavern, to decide upon the four candidates who should be selected to stand for the representation, Mr. Lawrence's fitness was admitted, and on the motion of Mr. J. H. Hankey it was resolved, with but four dissentients— _ _ _ " That Baron Lionel de Rothschild, M.P., Mr. R. W Crawford, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., and Mr. Alderman Wm. Lawrence, are fit and proper persons to represent the City of London in the House of Commons in the ensuing Parliament, and the electors present pledge themselves to use their best endeavours to secure their return." At that meeting, which had been announced to be private, but the proceedings at which have since been made public, the chairman, Mr. Kirkman D. Hodg son, M. 1?., alluding to Mr. Lyall and Mr. R. N. Fowler, the two Conservative candidates, and to their professions of Liberalism, remarked that of them it might be truly said that " the face was the face of Jacob, but the hands were the hands of Esau ;" and he urged upon the Liberals the absolute necessity of standing shoulder to shoulder in the ap proaching contest; for, if they did not, the Conser vatives would instantly take advantage of their dis union, the only chance which their opponents had lying in their division. Mr. Hankey, too, who had moved the resolution referred to, observed that it was the positive duty of the city of London to show the rest of the kingdom what its true political spirit wa.s..Mr. George Moore, of Cheapside, in seconding the resolution, took occasion to refer to theill-health of Baron Rothschild, but surely, he said, no one would be ungenerous enough to blame a man for hav ing been afflicted by Providence ? When Baron Rothschild was in full health he was always at their call, and endeavoured to do his duty to the best of his ability. Mr. Moore spoke in praise of the ser vices which Mr. Crawford had rendered the consti tuency, and of the extraordinary promise shown by Mr. Goschen as a statesman. Adverting to Mr. Law rence, he said he was of opinion that the Corporation ought to share in the representation of the city. He thought, therefore, they ought to include the alder man among the candidates, and with those four he considered they would have a pretty strong team, especially in comparison with that of their oppo nents. Mr. Bennett, on the other hand, said if Mr. Lawrence stood he would vote for him, but he was afraid he was not big enough to fight the two Tories; and if they thought they could not carry his election, then be was the wrong man. Mr. Alderman Phillips, who was among the speakers, observed that much stress had been laid upon the indisposition of Baron Rothschild ; but he was sure the Baron would act according to the wishes and feelings of the consti tuency, and if, through any unhappy accident, he should not be able to f alfil his duties properly, he would do that which every high-minded gentleman would do—withdraw from the representation. But he had no hesitation in saying that his health was materially improved, and he hoped and believed that if they were united for the purposes of this elec tion they would soon see the Baron in his place in the House of Commons. Mr. Alderman Lawrence explained his views at some length to the meeting, and the grounds on which he sought to take part in the representation. Mr. Nathaniel Rothschild re gretted that his father could not be present, owing to indisposition. He was sure they could not find fault with his political opinions, and her was in great hopes that his health would so improve that he would be able properly to discharge his duties. Although he was not speaking with his father's authority, he was sure that if he continued too unwell he would do that which they had a right to expect. On the motion of Mr. Crawford, M.P., seconded by Mr. Goschen, M.P., Mr. K. Hodgson, M.P., was appointed chairman of the Liberal Electors' Com mittee; and Mr. J. Dillon, Mr. H. R. Grenfell, M.P., Mr. 3. P. Gassiot, Mr. John A. Hankey, and Mr. George Moore were nominated deputy-chairmen. It is said that there will be a personal canvass of the constituency by both Liberals and Conserva tives. The number of electors on the register is 17,455, of whom 5,535 are liverymen, making to gether 22,990, but from these about 2,000 must be deducted in respect of double entries. The Liberal party have opened committee-rooms in Cheapside ; the head-quarters of the Conservatives are at the London Tavern. Last night a public meeting was held of the elec tors of the City of London at Stapleton's Horse Re pository. Mr. Charles Gilpin, M.P., occupied the chair. The meeting was very numerously attended. Mr. CHARLRS GILPIN introduced the business of the meeting, and concluded by calling upon. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., who said that for any ex pression of his political views he must refer the elec tors to his published address, which he hoped they had done him the honour of reading. He had had the honour of addressing the electors of the Ward of Bishopsgate upon very many occasions. He remem bered the time when they used to meet at the White Hart, but it seemed that - modern improvements re moved the old landmarks, and left them no place of rest. He hoped the electors would afford no resting place to the advocates of the Tory party. He was there, not to advocate his own claims to their support, but the claims of the Liberals ; to advocate a union, and to ask the electors not to run the risk of allow ing a Conservative to slip in through indecision and disunion in their own ranks. Mr. N. M. RomscifiLD next addressed the meet ing in support of the claims of his father, who was unable to be present. He disclaimed any wish or in tention on his part of dividing the Liberal interest. Mr. GOSCIIEN, M.P., followed. He observed that it was but two years ago since he asked the electors to return him to Parliament. They did so; and he had done his bestto promote the interests of the elec tors, which were bound up with the Liberal party. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. He thought there should be no disguising a man's opinions ; he had spoken his own fairly out upon all occasions necessary. He was certain that if any disunion arose in the Liberal ranks it would be through men disguising their real sentiments. Mr. Lyall had issued two addresses, and the speaker de fied any one from a perusal of those to say whether Mr. Lyall was a Liberal or a Conservative. Was he, then, ashamed of his party ? (No ! Yes Con fusion.) • He contended that through the measures passed by the Liberal party the country had been rendered happy and prosperous, which would not have been the case had the Conservatives been in power. He did not deny that changes were neces sary, but thought those changes could be better effected by the Liberal party than any other. (Cheers and groans.) Alderman LAWRENCE next addressed the meeting at some length. He considered the question at issue a simple one. It was whether the men of Bishopsgate would do again as they had done be fore—that was, throw their whole weight into the scale to secure the triumph of Liberal principles. He had no doubt as to the result of the contest. He considered that some large, comprehensive, and well considered measure of reform was imperatively ne cessary. He belonged to a party which expunged from its political dictionary the word " finality," and believed that as education, commerce, and other moral influences bearing upon the nation advanced, its representation should progress in a like ratio. Mr. K. Hodgson moved, and Mr. J. Richardson seconded, a resolution pledging the meeting to sup port the four candidates who had just addressed them, which, upon being put to a show of hands, was carried. SOLICITORS. Messrs.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the business of the old-established and well-known private Bank of Messrs. L Barned and Co. in Liverpool, and organ ising it on the broader basis of a joint-stock company, under the Limited Liability Act. The Bank, which was founded in 1809, has done a large and continually-increasing business, and there is no doubt that in its new and extended form still more satisfactory results will be realised. The Directors have received most encouraging promises of support, both in Liverpool and London ; but, in making the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the present customers of the Bank. The purchase money for the business has been fixed at £160,000, payable by instalments spread over two years, as stipulated in the agreement; and this sum, on comparing it with the profits shown by Messrs. I. Barned and Co. to have been realised, and theft' guarantee of the assets taken over, cannot be considered other than a moderate payment for a lucrative business placed at once in the hands of the shareholders. _ _ __ _ The Bank will take over the business of Messrs. I. Barned an I Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs. I. Barned and Co. will guarantee the payment of all debit balances (including bills and credits running) standing in their books on that day. Tho business will have the advantage of the active super vision of the present partners in the Bank, who have agreed to act as Directors for five years, and will retain a large interest in the Company. Messrs. I Barned and Co. are willing to sell at a valua tion the present Bank promises, and any of their adjoining property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if required, to leave the purchase money on mortgage for ton years at 41 per cent. The remuneration of the ordinary Directors is to be fixed by the shareholders at their annual meetings, but power is taken in the articles of association to appoint one or more of their number as Managing Directors, whose extra re muneration will be determined by the Board. Copies of the Company's memorandum and articles of association, and of the agreement for the transfer of Messrs. I. Barned and Co.'s business, can be seen at the offices of the solicitors of the Company. Application for shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of the deposit of £l. per share. In the event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full.

A public meeting was held at the Regent Music hall, Regent-street, Westminster, last evening, for the purpose of hearing Mr. H.W. Smith, the Con- servative candida, expound his political principles, Mr. Elliot, of the firm of Elliot, Watuey, and Co., took the chair, and briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to afford Mr. Smith the opportunity of expressing his opinions on the great political subjects of the day. Mr. S3IITH then came forward, and was received most enthusiastically. He said he was a Westminster man, and all that he possessed was in Westminster ; the meeting might, therefore, believe that he felt the deepest interest in the prosperity of that ancient city. He renewed his declaration of being wholly free from all party ties, and his assurance that if elected he would act according to the best of his judgment, without distinction of party. There was a time when Westminster. prided itself by being re presented by men uninfluenced, by party feeling. That was his position now. His only aim was the good of his country, and although holding thoroughly Conservative opinions, he was desirous of reforming every abuse that might exist either under a Liberal or a Conservative administration. Recent circumstances had crept in which told them that personal administrative reform was needed. Referring to the suffrage, Mr. Smith repeated that he would not be a party to the lowering of it below £lO, because he considered it would be derogatory to working men to declare that it was necessary they should live in a house of less than ss. a weekto qualify them to be voters. Could any respect able working man get decent house accommodation for ss. a week ? (Hear.) Let it not then be declared that a house of £6 a year rent was sufficient accommodation for a working man. (Cheers.) He was quite willing to give the franchise to persons who lived in first and second floors and paid from 7s. to Bs. rent weekly. He then adverted to the se veral local questions which required attention—such as the Thames Embankment, the railways passing through Westminster, the toll bridges, &c. In regard to all these he was prepared to devote his utmost attention. With regard to foreign affairs, he thought it very rarely happened that Englishmen at all un derstood the wishes or feelings of foreigners, and if they had made one mistake greater than another it was an insane desire to benefit the foreigner by in- ducing him to introduce our institutions and ten dering to him our advice. He was grateful that the civil war in America had passed away without this country becoming involved in any question with foreign Powers ; and he gladly supported the army, navy, and Volunteers, as substantial means of na tional defence. In answer to a question, Mr. SMITH said he was in favour of a providence suffrage, but he could not consent to give every member of a benefit society a vote. Lord EUSTACE CECIL said that he considered Mr. Smith not only an able man, but a moderate, in dependent, and Liberal-Conservative, and in every respect worthy to represent Westminster in Parlia ment. He then moved : " That this meeting having heard with satisfaction Mr. W. H. Smith's exposition of his political principles, pledge themselves to use their utmost exertions to secure his re turn as one of the representatives for Westminster." Mr. JOSEPH CARTER WOOD seconded the resolu tion, and on its being put to the meeting it was car ried unanimously and with great applause. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. FINSBURY. Last evening a public meeting was held at Myddelton-hall, Islington, to enable Mr. Wm. Cox, who is described by his committee as " the old and tried member," to solicit the suffrages of his con stituents. The hall was early crowded to excess, and on the platform were many gentlemen of local influence. Mr. Carr occupied the chair. When Mr. Cox entered the hall, which he did after the pro ceedings had commenced, he was received with loud applause and waving of hats. Mr. LAWSON, who introduced himself as an " old Radical elector" of Finsbury, said he had formerly voted for " Tom Duncombe " and Mr. Wakley, and he had supported Mr. Cox, considering that gentle man was the best exponent of Liberal views the borough could have in place of their late excellent representatives. Mr. Cox had been one of the most independent and hardworking members of the house of Commons, and he had given upwards of 600 votes, none of which could be complained of. (Cheers.) Mr. Cox then rose to address the meeting, and was again received with cheers. He said he was there to address them and to answer any questions they liked to put to him with respect to his past votes, seeking, as he did, their suffrages as their member in the next session. He went on to say that he should find a difficult task if he were to speak upon all the votes he had given, seeing that he had been in his place on every sitting of the house save once, when he was prevented attending through a domestic misfortune. On the Ballot question he had not changed his opinions, and he had voted on every occasion on which the subject had been brought forward in its favour, and he was for shortening the terms of Parliament, and for a large extension of the suffrage, principles he had enunciated when he was before them for the first time, and which he had steadfastly maintained. Some very noisy persons who had been shouting out " Stansfeld" from a' remote part of the room were here challenged by the hon. gentleman to come upon the platform, and the great body of the meet ing gave the same invitation, in order, as it was expressed, "to have it out." A person represent ing the discontented portion of the meeting then stood forward, and amid great uproar put some questions with respect to the matter on which Mr. Stansfeld resigned office. Mr. Cox replied that he a long time since sum moned a meeting of his constituents at the Agricul tural-hall, and before a very large assemblage of the electors he went fully into the subject. A vote was at that meeting passed that the explanation he gave was fully satisfactory.

This was carried amid loud applause, and the meeting separated. AYLESBURY. The interest in the forthcoming Parliamentary election for this borough is greatly on the increase, and the aspect of affairs has somewhat suddenly changed. The Conservatives had announced that their two sitting members, Messrs. Bernard and Smith, would again seek the suffrages of the elec tors ; but up to Saturday only Mr. Smith had issued his address, Mr. Bernard, whose Parliamentary career has obtained the respect of even both parties of politicians, not having as yet stated officially his intention to again come forward. This silence has been, and still is, viewed by the Conservatives with no small concern, and regarded by the Liberals as a token of the hon. gentleman's intention to retire into private life at the close of the present Parliament, mid the latter have been entering into negotiatidns with a second Libe ral candidate to contest the Tory seats, in conjunc tion with Mr. Nathaniel M. de Rothschild. The result of their deliberations will be made known in a day or two. • BANBITRY. The electors have had an interview with the Con servative candidate, Mr. Bell. In his address to them he took credit for the Conservative party that to them the country is mainly indebted for the mea sures which have passed in the reformed Parliaments of the last 30 years. He treated the extension of the suffrage as an uncalled-for measure, and stated that any man might acquire the franchise if he desired. He invited questions, but none of any importance were put. His•supporters gave him a hearty cheer, which the Liberals met, though not in an uneour teous manner, with counter demonstrations. BUCKINGHAM. Mr. Robarts, a landed proprietor in the immtdiate neighbourhood, has been requested to contest the seat now occupied by Mr. J. G. Hubbard, who, it seems, has given some offence to a portion of his Conservative constituent& Sir Harry Verney is again in the field for election, the voters being espe cially pleased with his stated intention not to for sake his friends in the borough for the risk attend ing a county election. BITCKINGHAMSHIRE. Up to the present time no Liberal candidate has come forward for the borough, and it is likely that the course will be "walked over" by the three Con servative members, Messrs. Disraeli, Du Pre, and Harvey, all of whom have issued their addresses soliciting re-election. Several names were mentioned as likely, if solicited, to contest the seats for this county, among them being the eminent counsel, Mr. F. Calvert, Q.C., and Mr. Lush, Q.C.; but as to the former gentleman, he has not yet stated his in tention; and with respect to the latter, it has been ascertained by Dr. Lee, the adviser of the Liberals, that he would have declined to accede to the prayer of a requisition if one had been pre sented to him. CALNE. The Right Hon. Robert Lowe has issued the fol lowing address : " I venture to solicit at your hands a renewal of the trust which you confided to me six years ago. The period which has elapsed since the last general election has been upon the whole a time of great material progress and domestic tranquillity. Our material progress I attribute to our steady adherence to and development of a sound financial and commercial policy, to our abstinence from foreign wars, and to the unwearied energy and growing intelligence of the nation. Our tranquillity and content I attribute to a well-founded conviction on the part of the people that jus tice is fairly administered, and the business of Government and legislation conducted in a spirit of equity and impar tiality to all classes of the -community. So long as this shall be the case, I see no great reason for great organic changes in institutions which, though partaking largely of the imperfection incident to all things human, and suscep tible, doubtless, of great improvements as our experience widens and ripens, have combined order and liberty, sta bility and progress, in a greater degree than the institu tions of any other nttion. Any one who points out a prac tical evil in the working of our constitution is entitled to a respectful hearing, and any one who suggests an efficient remedy for such evil shall have my earnest support ; but I attach too much importance to the blessings we already enjoy to risk them in pursuit of ideal perfection or even theoretical improvement. At the same time, gentlemen, I believe that the tenure by which we hold our happy con stitution is the willingness of the Legislature to inquire into and remedy, without fear or favour, every practical abuse, and its ability to represent fully and faithfully the wishes and feelings of the nation. It was the want of these qualities in the then House of Commons that brought about the reform of 1832, and Ido not doubt that a simi lar cause would in these times produce a similar result. You will therefore find me, as I have hitherto been, always ready to give my aid to peace, economy, and legal reform, and to forward to the utmost of my power whatever tends to abolish invidious distinctions and disabilities founded on. religious belief." FLINT SHIRE. The present sitting Liberal members, Lord R. Grosvenor (county) and Sir J. Hanmer (boroughs), will be returned unopposed. An opposition was spoken of respecting the boroughs, and it was said that a Conservative county gentleman, already sit ting for an English borough, was to be brought forward in opposition to Sir J. Hanmer. GREAT MARLOW. The Liberal candidate of great local connexions and influence announced as likely to come forward for this borough has declined to do so, and the two Conservative members, Col. Williams and Col. Knox, are likely to have all their own way. LANCASTER (SOUTH). There was a meeting of the Liberal Committee for South Lancashire at Manchester yesterday,when it was agreed to put forward for this division the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Thompson, a son of Mr. Samuel Thompson, banker of Liverpool. A third candidate had been named in the person of Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, but it appears that Sir James is unwilling to offer himself. NORFOLK (WEST). Mr. George William Pierrepoint Bentinck haft privately announced his intention not to contest this division of the county. This determination, which will be universally regretted, is caused by the uncertain state of Mr. Bentiuck's health. REIGATE. Mr. Leveson Gower (Liberal), the sitting mem ber, has issued an address soliciting re-election, in which he says—" I have supported various measures for extending the franchise, both in counties and boroughs. I believe that the working classes in this country by their intelligence and independence have entitled themselves to a larger share in the repre sentation than they at present possess. The Hon. E. Monson, also Liberal, will contest the borough in opposition to the sitting member. TEWKESBITRY. Mr. Wm. Dowdeswell, of Pull-court, will come forward in the Conservative interest in this borough, in conjunction with Mr. Reginald Yorke, the pre sent Conservative member. It is generally under stood that Mr. Martin, the Liberal member, will again offer himself, not with any expectation of being re-elected, but for the purpose of keeping his name before a constituency which his family have so long represented. It is admitted on all hands that the Conservatives have a large majority on the register, and that the return of Messrs. Yorke and Dowdeswell is a certainty. It will be the first occa sion since the passing of the Reform Bill that this borough has been represented by two Conservatives. THE CONVICT BUTLER.—The old man Butler, tried last winter assizes on a charge of murdering Cathe rine Gulliver, his housekeeper, by pushing her into the lock at Holt Fleet, near Worcester, died last week in Mill bank. Butler was convicted of manslaughter, and con. demned to a lengthened term of imprisonment. He was years of age. ~ -- 1 I I~
