Of all the enterprises of a commercial character none has ever excited so much attention and interest as that of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. 1 . ether 'ho reason of this is perfectly obv ious ; the m imense Political importance of the Company , as well as the enor 1119as profit to be anticipated by its Shareholders, tog with the scientific interest attached to it, combining to a ~,'Rree not found in any enterprise having commerc ial imofit for its legitimate end. _An enterprise so important, and now become so compa ratively easy to accomplish, appeals not only to the g reat c ommercialinterests of Europe and America, but to the Peace of all classes in both cou ntries ; its benefits to mce and civilisation it is impossible to estimate. The near approach of the period when the cable is to be . is already the cause of much excitement amongst all Who are aware of the fact. The date for the Great Eastern steamship's departure W ith the cable is actually fixe d for the Bth July, about a fortnight from the present date, and it is not too much to r , that from the hour of her leaving the whole continent ° I Europe and America will be intent upon watching her Progress. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has testified his warm interest in the undertaking by personally three the cable on boar d the Great Eastern about "'Lee weeks ago. e The exceptional character of the undertaking is further s rwri by her Majesty's Governmen t g rantin g the services of two of her Majesty's mon-of-war steamers, the Terrible and the Sphynx, to accompany the Great Eastern, and assist 11 1 the operation of laying the cable. calculating the rate of profit of this undertaking, of Purse everything depends uponthe scale of charges adopted for the transmission of messages; the first tariff agreed to With her Majesty's Government was fixed at 2s. 6d. psr Word, subsequently increased to ss. per word, but as the time arrived when the cable would be ready for actual use, It w as seen that the mass of business this company would immediately find offered to it, would so far neutralise the bene fit it by completely choking the line, that a representa tion to the Lords of the Treasury within the last few days ( r ) , 1 1 the subject, has led their lordsh i p s to consent to the ijc°lllPaily, until Ist September next, experimentally charging, without restriction, such rates for messages as the Company may, on full consideration , deem reason able and proper ;" and it is fully expected that by this a rrangement the net profits will reach one million sterling Per annum. The capital of the Company is composed as follows : .ClOO,OOO Five per Cent. Debentures. £600,000 Eight per Cent. Preference Shares (of which the present issue forms the balance). £600,000 Ordinary Shares. The amount required to pay 5 per cent. interest on £lOO,OOO Debentures is £5,00 0 per an num. 'ae amount required to pay the Pre . ference Dividend of 8 per cent. on £600,000 (of which the present issue . h. forms the balance) 48,000 ~ J:he amount required to pay4per cent on £600,000 ordinary capital is Making a total of £77,000 „ l ' e aving £923,000 per annum surplus income. Half the ' 4ll ount of revenue above the said £77,000 is available for Yearly bonus to the holders of the said 8 per cent. Prefer- V i l ce Shares. Therefore, on the a bove-mentioned the total available dividend and bonus would amount tt) above 76 per cent. per annum, in ad dition to the 8 'per c ent. preference as above, making an e stimated total divi read of 84 per cent. per annum o n these Preference Shares, a llng, after deduction of 20 per cent. for the formation of n renewal fund for laying down a new cable, 64 per cent. d ividend, of which 8 per cent. would be preferential divi elAsecured by Act of Parliament. ,What the price of these Shares will be a month hence , ~Oh s uc h prospects, it is difficult t o sa y , es p ecially as the gures above given do not, in the opinion of persons com petent to judge, at all represent the maximum probable re "lPts ; but taking them as the basis for calculation, and nsidering the continued demand there must be for mes ages consequent upon the ever-increa sin g business be tween the Continent of Europe, Eng land, and America, and bearin g in mind that this cable will complete the line of telegraph between San Francisco and India, it is not impro bablet that, by the time that telegraph communication be tween England and America is an accomplished fact, these Shares may be worth £2O, or £l5 premium per Share. . from the phalanx of talent existing in the scientific fad visers of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and from the a ct that the laying of the cable has been entrusted exclu sively to the eminent Contracting Company who have had o charge of the manufacture of it, and whose staff of Engi neers and Electricians have successfully laid most of the existing cables, whether laid in deep or shallow seas, it 1 : 4 3' well be believed that every precaution has been taken insure the successful laying of this cable : this achieved, every only b ar t o the Shares attaining the high value which one acquainted with the undertaking places them at removed ; this risk, however, may easily be assessed Vien it is mentioned that leading insurance companies and of r's have underwritten policies embracing every risk the:(Ying, insulation, &c., at 25 guineas per cent., showing iF confidence in the result anticipated. inally, the Directors of the several Companies interested thein da enterprise fully anticipate being able to report each JO' during the laying the favourable progress all believe and of the success of an undertaking which all look Pra as a national work. will be seen from the proposed allotment of the Shares that t the distribution of them is intended to be made upon wide a basis as possible, so as to give the whole of the arlicants the assurance of receiving au allotment and of Permitted to join an unexampled commercially pro fitablep as well as politically important undertaking. of t rekectuses and Forms of Application can be obtained Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England Limited) Alfred Lowe Esq., Secretary) at their Offices, li and 18, E.C.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the business of the old-established and well-known private Bank of Messrs. I. 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 their 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 ani Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs. I. Barned and Co. will gua rantee the payment of all debit balances (including bills and credits running) standing in their books on that day. The business will have the advantage of the active super to of tho presentrtners in © Bank,-who have agreed act as Directors for a five years, and will retain a largo interest in the Company. Messrs. I Barned and Co. aro willing to sell at a valua tion the present Bank premises, and any . of their adjoining property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if requiren, to leave the purchase mone y on mortgage for ten 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 £1 per share. In the event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment.

Ile 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. Ile 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 othdr 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.

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 known, will be found in the pamphlet above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks ani Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile praotices, the monstrou3 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, while they invoke your indignation and disgust.

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, AldermanW. 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. 11. 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.P., 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 was. 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 he 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 he 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. J. 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. CHARLBs 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. ROTHSCHILD 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. GoscuEtc, 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. WESTMINSTER. 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 candidate, expound his political principles. Mr. Elliot, of the firm of Elliot, Watney, 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. SMITH 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 week to 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 foreignaffairs, he thought it very rarely happened that Englishmen at all un derstood the wishes or feelings of foreigners, and if 1 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 loci _ _ _ 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 13ut 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 , i n 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 iato the subject. A vote was at that meeting passed that the explanation he gave was fully satisfactory. All that he had to say was that he considered the charge made against Mr. Stansfeld by the Procureur-General was a serious one, and deserved the serious attention of the house, and so the house considered. (Cheers.) The uproar continued for some little time longer in consequence of the gentleman desiring to speak again and the meeting refusing to hear him; and Mr Cox having answered various questions, a reso lution was proposed to the effect that the member's past services and &traightforward address entitled him to the support of electors, and that those present pledged themselves to use their best exertions to in sure his return. _ _ 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, and the latter have been entering into negotiations 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. BANBURY. 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 uncour 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 constituents. 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. BIJCKINGHAMSHIRE. 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, thoi 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 nation. 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 I do not doubt that a simi ar 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.Willia.ms 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 has 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. Bentiack'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 en titl e d 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. TEWKESBURY. 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 Coxvicr Btrrun.—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.
