No explanation is given as to the motives for this exercise of the royal cle mency, but the fact is certain that Mil-Reales has returned to his native village, Villarejo de Fuentes, in the province of Toledo, the scene of his former exploits. The history of the atrocities committed by this bandit would, the Ma drid journals state, fill a volume. He was the chief of a band of robbers in the mountains of Toledo, and lived many years on plunder, often murdering the persons whom he despoiled. 100 100 ]OO 100 10 I'4 ;43 8; ; 123 21 X 414 44 1231 4 3i t3f 1421 2 i 130 I I 111 12} P 1 31 4 'OSSE THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVE:NINO, JUNE 7, 1865. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) A CITY MERCHANT AND A CITY TRADESMAN DISPUTING FOR 128. GD.—DEAN AND CO. V. TARRACK. This was an action to recover 3.1.8. 6d. for a fender and fire-irons, plaintiffs being the ironmongers of King Wil liam-street, and defendant a merchant of 47, Mark-lane. Plaintiffs' clerk deposed to the sale and delivery of the goods. Defendant—And I paid for them at the time. Plaintiffs' Clerk—That I deny, or it would have been entered in the books. No such entry appears in our books, and I can prove that to your honour. His Honour—You cannot use your own books as evi dence in your favour, because there is nothing to prevent you putting anything you like in them. Plaintiffs' Clerk—We should not do that. If defendant paid for these things he would have a receipt for them. Defendant—l have not got any receipt, but when I paid the money plaintiffs' man put the money in his pocket. Plaintiffs' clerk—The defendant must have had a receipt. His Honour—That does not follow. I never take receipts. _ . Plaintiffs' clerk—But will not your Honour look at the cash-book, in which the amount must have been entered had it boon paid ? His Honour—He says you put it in your pocket. Plaintiffs' clerk—Then it would soon have been checked against me. His Honour—l can hardly believe that a City merchant would come here and dispute a claim of lls. 6d. if he had not paid it. As there is one firm swearing against another, I shall send the case to a jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A CLERGYMAN.—John Penny, a porter, residing in Porter-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting the Rev. George Pigot, the clergyman attending the Newport-Market Refuge. The complainant said that ho was passing along Market street, Newport-market, last night about nine o'clock, when he saw a large crowd assembled, and the defendant and another man fighting together. He persuaded the de fendant to desist and go home, when he turned upon him and gave him a violent blow on the back of the head and another in the side, and in falling ho hurt his leg. The defendant said he might have pushed up against the complainant, but he did not remember it, having been out drinking all day. He had no recollection of being in any disturbance. M'Mahon, 165 C, said on taking the defendant into cus tody he denied the assault. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 40s. or a month. . BATHING IN THE SERPENTINE DURING THE PROHIBITED HOURS.—Samuel Barwell, a baker, residing at 14, James street, Notting-hill, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with bathing in the Serpentine during the prohibited hours. Police-constable, 63 A, said that at half-past seven yes terday evening he saw the defendant go into tho Serpen tine to bathe. He told the defendant that the hour for the commencement of bathing was eight o'clock, and that he must come out. The defendant refused to do so, and swam towards the north side, telling him in an impudent tone to follow him. The defendant, on getting on the north side, where it is forbidden for the bathers to go, dressed himself, and he then took him into custody. The defendant said there was such a noise from the per-. sondwaiting to bathe that he could not hear what the con stable said. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant had gono into the water before the proper time, and the regulations must be enforced. The defendant would have to pay a fine of 2e. O. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. made speeches which indicated a hankering for a £5, and a reluctance to accept a£6 borough franchise. But no sooner was a Reform Bill brought in by Lord Palmerston' s Govern ment than Mr. Black spoke in the most vehen lent way against lowering the franchise at all, and when the bill was withdrawn his speech, supposed to be indicative of 'a sen timents of the city of Edinburgh, was cited as ono o. f the reasons for that step. He had opposed Mr. Baines' bill, and had in doing so made a very violent speech against the vt.'rY principle of reform, so much so that Mr. Disraeli's speech was far more a Liberal speech than Ir. Black's. Mr. M'Laren went on to speak of the local support which he himself had obtained for the Chancellor of the Exchequer's measures when opposed by the Conservatives, as showing that ho had been a warmer supporter of the present Go vernment than Mr. Black, who had taken no such trouble, and said that the Lord Advocate, if Government were sin cere in their desire for reform, should prefer him to Mr. Black as a colleague. He concluded by saying, in refer ence to the alleged probability of the present movement letting in a Tory member, that in the first place the other side would really be responsible, and in the second place that the change would probably do them no harm, while it would show the Whigs that they were not to la rd it over the citizens as they had done for so many years- Several questions were put to the candidates, %Ind a mo tion of confidence in them was unanimously carried. The sitting members have called a meeting for ttis after noon. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann Macartby, a girl about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. A police constable said he was informed that the pri soner had 3d. worth of laudanum, and he went to her dwelling at 7, Park-street, Limehouse, and found her on a bed asleep, and completely overpowered by the narcotic draught she had taken. He aroused her, moved her about the room, called in medical aid, and an antidote was admi nistered. There was some difficulty in saving her. She had since been sheltered in Ratcliff workhouse, and very kindly treated there. She was very low and desponding. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner why she committed such a rash and wicked act, and she replied it was owing to a step father, who had called her very bad names. This preyed on her mind, for she did not deserve the reproaches of her stepfather. Her leg was amputated 18 months ago, and she had been recently in the hospital, and undergone another operation. Mr. Paget asked the girl's stepfather why he called her bad names, to which he replied that he had had a good deal of trouble with her. Her mother was insane, and an inmate of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. He had fed and clothed the girl, who was very high-minded, and set him at defiance. She had behaved very badly to him, and he had in some moments of irritation called her bad names. In April last a bone was removed from the girl's leg, and she had not gone on any better. He then wont on in a style of self-glorification to boast what he had done for the girl, and to have starved himself to feed her. She was self-willed and _obstinate, and would go out when he told her not to do so. He looked in excellent case, and to have provided himself with bodily comforts very liberally. Mr. Paget did not wish to say anything harsh to either Party, but it ought to be remembered that the girl had met with great misfortunes. She had lost her leg, she had to undergo another painful operation, and she was deprived of the care and advice of her mother, who was suffering from a dreadful malady. Ho admonished the girl, and begged of her not to repeat the attempt on her life. He would not send her to prison, but allow her to return to Rateliff Workhouse, where she had been so kindly treated by the matron, who offered to take charge of her again for a week. AN ECCENTRIC LOVER.—At Desborough, a small town in Northamptonshire, there is a gentleman en gaged in some manufacturing business, named Benjamin Riley. Mr. Riley some time since determined to marry one of the young women employed in the factory, named Mary Ann Paine. But, having before his eyes the fear of Mrs. Grundy, the worthy manufacturer has taken the novel course of publishing a justification of his conduct in the columns of a local newspaper. In his advertisement Mr. Riley tells his workpeople and the townsfolk in general that ho is anxious to do everything openly and above board, and he feels they have some sort of right to ask his reasons for so flagrant a breach of the conventionalities. Accordingly they aro informed that the marriage is not to take place till May next, and that in the meantime Mr. Riley will have his "intended," as he calls her, educated to a level with himself, for " of course, to unite myself to this young woman now would be very foolish indeed, I having been favoured with a good education and cultivation, she an uncultured factory girl." Mr. Riley has therefore ad vertised in the British Standard and Patriot, and in a few days his advertisement will be in two other papers, for " lady, a member of a Christian Church, to instruct in, vari ous branches of useful knowledge a young lady whose education has been neglected." Liberal terms being offered, nine Christian ladies have already responded to this appeal, and no doubt others will reply, so that there will be a good field of choice, and Miss Paine will also, says Mr. Riley, if nothing prevent; "have a very voluminous correspon dence from myself." At the Clerkenwell Police-court yesterday a charge of a somewhat singular character was preferred against a man named Gurge, who possesses an alias. It appeared from the evidence that this person was in the habit of defrauding sergeants in the metropolitan police by pretending to make discoveries of robberies which had never taken place, and to give them information concern ing the appropriation of goods which further inquiry proved had never been stolen. The evidence of the police ser geants who were examined revealed great ingenuity and consummate impudence on the part of the prisoner. Ile was committed for trial. James Henry Wilson, the man who is charged with being concerned in the recent great fraud on the Post-oface, was brought up at Bow-street Police-- court yesterday. Further evidence was adduced which sufficiently identified him as one of the men who had carried out the swindle, and he was committed for trial. NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Yesterday a fine new lifeboat and transporting carriage were forwarded by the institution to North Sunderland, in lieu of a smaller boat and carriage previously stationed there. The self righting qualities of the new lifeboat were recently fully and satisfactorily settled in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse. Tho cost of the boat and its equipment, with its transporting carriage, amounting to £4OO, has been munificently presented to - the institution by Mrs. Anstice, of Tynemouth, Northumberland, and the boat is named the Joseph .Anstice. .A free conveyance, as usual, was readily given to the boat by the Great Northern and North-Eastern . Railway Companies. The institution has now nine lifeboats on the Northumberland coast, on which the sum of nearly £5,000 has been exclusively ex pended by the institution. The 148 lifeboat stations under the management of the socciety require an income of about £7,400 to keep them In effective condition. Miss Florence Nightingale has sent to the institution a liberal contribu tion of £2O, accompanied by a gratifying and encouraging letter, in which she says that she herself bad been so happy as to see with her own eyes the noble enduranca—" obe dience unto death"—of an army in which every man was a hero, and expresses a hope " that God will continue to bless, as He manifestly has blessed, the Lifeboat Institu tion." To SitorKEErEns, &c.—Wanted, an agent, in every town and village, for the sale of A. G.'s patent safety enve lopes (at is. per gross). Cheap stationery, lady's and gent's patent collars and cuffs (at is. 6d., 2s. 6d., and 4s. 6d. per gross). Sample parcels sent on receipt of order and re ferences.—Arthur Granger, toy importer ; 308, High Liol born, W.C.—[A.Dvr.] BIRKENHEAD. On Monday evening a meeting of the friends of Mr. J. Laird, M.P., who again offers himself for the representation of Birkenhead, was held in the Music-hall, Birkenhead, Mr. W. Hind presiding. The meeting was numerously attended, but was conducted in private. The proceedings were, how ever, most enthusiastic. CHESTER. A crowded meeting of the supporters of Mr. Raikes, the Conservative candidate, was held at the Albion Ass3mbly rooms on Monday night. After some introductory speeches Mr. Raikes addressed the electors. He said he had carefully perused the speech delivered by his opponent, Mr. W. H, Gladstone. He found it to be in imitation of the paternal style, and characterised by tho same indistinctness of outline. They were treated to a little of the usual decla mation upon the benefits of free trade. Free trade was car ried by the Irish famine, and by the unadorned eloquence of the late Richard Cobden. Those gentlemen who are al ways pluming th e emselves upon it were but the subordi nate agents in carrying out that policy, and he thought it was scarcely fair to evoke from its grave the spectre of Protection in order to deter supporters from coming round one whose earliest instructor in politics, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer knew, was a Freetrader before the Chan cellor of the Exchequer ever was. Then they had some re marks instituted in regard to the French Treaty, which amounted to a comparison between Providence and the Chancellor of the - Exchequer very much in favour of the latter, and he thought those remarks reflected more credit upon the filial piety of Mr. Gladstone than upon his good sense. There followed one or two words about reform, and he confessed for his own part he could not altogether fol low the speaker through them. It appeared to amount pretty I much to this—that Mr. Gladstone will vote and will not vote for a very wide extension of the suffrage. He came to another subject.whichhe approached with great reluctance, and with which he should wish to deal with the greatest moderation. He referred to the appearance among them in the capacity of electioneering speaker of her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer. He respected the Chancellor of the Exchequer in that position. He admired his splendid abilities. Ile believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had always believed himself to bo actuated by public spirit, and he was further deterred from expressing his full feel ings on this subject by the memory of his father, whose friend Mr. Gladstone had been. But he wouldnot be driven from his post or deterred from his duty by the openly ex pressed displeasure of ever so great a Minister. As to the political propriety of a Cabinet Minister interfering in such a matter, he was able to quote, not his own words, but those of a member of her Majesty's present Government. They were aware that an election is now proceeding in Westminster. The friends of one candidate had the folly and absurdity—the committee of one of the candidates for West minster had the rashness—to invite the co-operation of a Cabinet Minister, and from that Cabinet Minister, through his secretary, they received a fitting and dignified rebuke. He informed them that though he sympathised with the poli tical opinions of their candidate, he felt that as a member of her Majesty's Government ho was unfitted to interfere by giving his vote in any election. The letter was written un der the instructions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, furthermore, it bore on its face the signature of Wil liam Ewart Gladstone. (Cheers, and a voice, " Don't hurt him.") The Chancellor of the Exchequer had told them what the present Government had done, and replied to the assertion he had made touching the non-existence of a Go vernment in England. But they all knew it was not the mere existence of the Government ho called in question, and it would require more than the eloquence of the whole official pack, from the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Inspector of Schools, to satisfy them that the function of a Government is to sit with folded hands, and intrust the duty of directing public opinion and the task of initiating national legislation to a little knot of parliamentary irregu lars, who might be called the Bashi-bazouks of Liberalism. However, he told them there was a Government, and that that Government consisted of Lords Palmerston and Rus sell. He would do the Chancellor of the Exchequer the credit of saying that the statement was modest as regarded his own claims. They might admit that her Majesty had three Ministers. Many here and everywhere had a great respect for Lord Palmerston, and his long devotion to his official duties. He had great respect, but certainly not the greatest admiration for him, and would tell them why. Eight years ago there was a general election, and Lord Pal merston was Prime Minister. In an adjoining county there was an exciting contest, and a very great orator came down from London to expose Lord Palmerston and his policy. His fierce denunciations, his indignant scorn, produced a groat effect upon his youthful mind—an effect which ho had ever since retained. Who was that fierce exponent of Lord Palmerston's policy ? The Chancellor of the Exche quer. (Cheers.) He had to thank him for that lesson, and he did so heartily. Then they had Lord Russell. He was not going for a moment to deny the great achieve ments of Lord Russell in past days. He had not denied them, and ho was not going to do so ; but he would re mind them that those achievements were carried out in the teeth of the party to which Mr. Gladstone then belonged; and he thought there.could be no more melancholy instance of the decline of years than that the great Reform Minister should become the subordinate of a subordinate, and that the man who stood up to Peel should live to be patronised by Gladstone. (Long-continued cheers.) He had not at tacked the French Treaty. He intended to bestow upon it modified praise ; but they knew what the papermakers thought of it. They knew the effect it had on the weavers of Coventry and Spitalfields, and in the neighbouring towns of Macclesfield and Congleton. A general boon should be a great one which had to compensate for BO mnoh misery. Great men are always fondest of their most unpopular pro ductions. Milton preferred Paradise Regained to Paradise Lost, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer probably prefers his French Treaty, because it was the first thing he did after he had regained the paradise of Downing-street. (Loud laughter.) After expressing a resolution to avoid all personalities, Mr. Raikes resumed his seat amid enthu siastic cheering. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support Mr. Raikes were then passed by acclamation. DUDLEY. The representation of this borough is to be contested. On Monday an address was issued to the electors by Mr. F. Wyatt Truscott, dated from the Dudley Arms Hotel, soliciting their suffrages in the Liberal Conservative interest. As to representation Mr. Truscott is opposed to "giving an undue preponderance to any class," but is at the same time "desirous of widening the limits of the electoral area," and is prepared to support "a judicious and temperate measure of reform." He considers the ballot "would tend to lower the independent responsibility of the elector." As to church rates, he says--- " The question is one which should be definitely settled. The heartburning and discontent engendered by their con tinuance are in direct antagonism to that spirit of true Christianity of which the Church universal is at once the authority and the teacher. If no satisfactory adjustment be possib!e, it were better that the maintenance of the Church should depend on the voluntary support of Church men rather than an impost should be perpetuated ob noxious to the conscientious scruples of our Dissenting brethren." Mr. Sheridan, the sitting member, it is understood, offers himself for re-election, EDINBURGH. 4, meeting of the electors was hold in Queen-street Hall on Monday evening to hear Mr. Duncan 3/Urea and Mr. John Miller as candidates for the representation of the city. The hall was crowded to excess. Mr. Hugh Rose presided. The CHAIRMAN said Edinburgh had too long been a nomination burgh of the Whig Government, and that the time had now arrived when they must return members who were sufficiently free from the ties of office to look after the public accounts, who would support a fair and even liberal extension of the franchise, and who would oppose public grants to religious sects, and all vexatious ecclesiastical imposts, whether they might go under the name of church rates in ono part of the kingdom or police-rates in another. Mr. MILLER complaingil of an article in the Scotsman, which represented him as having in the election of 1852 stood for the Stirling burghs as a Tory. Ile stated that on that occasion he stood as a supporter of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill, that he did not then receive Tory support, and eat on that occasion he received the suppo r t of all the Whig newspapers of the district. His opinions had, how ever, advanced with the times, which he thought was better than going backward, like his hostile critics. He was in favour of a lowering of the suffrage so as to take possession of a large body of the working classes, of a liberal measure for national education, and a strict looking into the public accounts. Mr. M`LAREN said he came forward on a requisition ten times more numerous than the attendance at the meeting which had called for the sitting members again to present themselves, and larger than the number that had ever voted for any candidate at a city election. He did not oppose the Lord .Advocate or Mr. Black, but the electors opposed them. Mr. Black had been brought forward nine years ago to re ceive the crowning reward of his labours for the city of Edinburgh in being returned for a time to Parliamen'.. Was no one else to receive the same reward, or had no one else done service to the city? There was a strong feeling against both members on account of their conduct regard ing the annuity tax, and not so much for the quality of the measure as for the arbitrary and despotic manner in which it had been thrust down the throats of the citizens, not withstanding the opposition and protests of almost every the suffrages public body in the city ? Mr. Black was specially objected to onaccount the question of reform. Mr. Black of his dconductasked respecting and obtained of the city as an " old Refo rmer, " and he was well entitled ba to the name, for he was a true Reformer in days when everybody was either a Reformer or was opposed to reform, and when there were no sham Reformers such as they had many of nowadays. When Lord Derby's Reform Bill was thrown out, and when he (Mr. M'Laren) would have been strongly disposed to share the obloquy Mr. Lindsay in curred by refusing to vote against that bill, which might possibly have been made a good bill, Mr. Black opposed that measure, and shortly after became a party to the Willis's-rooms compact, and at last general election he GATESHEAD. Tho Right Hon. IV. 'Hutt, M.P., who is at present at Vienna negotiating the commercial treaty, has issued an address to his constituents at Gateshead, which was pub lished yesterday. Mr. Hutt says : "Having been for some time in the service of the Crown I am aware that I come before you in a character different from that in which I have ever before offered myself as tt candidate for your favour. But, gentlemen; however, dif ferent my position, I am wholly unchanged. lam un changed in fidelity to those principles of freedom which, as many will recollect,were mine when there were no honours to reward them. lam unchanged in grateful attachment to the people of Gateshead who, 23 years ago, spontaneously took me by the hand, and who, through all the changes and the trials of succeeding time, have never let it go. Gentle men, I trust that there has been nothing in my public con duct since you last chose me as your representative—nothing done or left undone—which should alienate from me your long-tried confidence or deprive me of that conspicuous kindness and good will which, from such a community, must ever form my highest title to public consideration and distinction. In office I have never forgotten that I was the political representative of one of the most high-spirited and intelligent constituencies of the empire. Nor have I been an unmindful guardian of your local and personal interests. I can proudly assert that no inhabitant of Gateshead has ever claimed my assistance and found me a reluctant or unsympathising advocate of his rights or requirements. I write this address at a great distance from home. I have accepted in Vienna the same post which in Paris, four years ago, was so nobly filled by our lost Cobden. It is no dis credit, gentlemen, either to Gateshead or to me that I have been called to follow in his footsteps, or that I have been selected by the Crown for its laborious and responsible duty. That duty, it is true, is not of a Parliamentary cha racter, but it is intimately connected with those objects which it is the great end of Parliaments and Governments to attain—the commerce, the prosperity, and the happiness of the people." Thera is no probability of any opposition to Mr. Hutt's re-election. GLOCESTER CITY. Messrs. Price and Monk, who it will be remembered were unseated for bribery at the last general elec tion, and were consequently disqualified from sitting again in the present Parliament, will be brought forward again, and in virtue of an arrangement with Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Berkeley, the present members, they will retire in favour of Messrs. Price and Monk. It is said that a Conservative candidate will be nominated, and the names of several gentlemen have been mentioned. GREENWICH. Sir Chas. Bright, who laid down the telegraphic line which is now working through from London to Bombay and Calcutta, has issued circulars announcing his intention to hold his first meeting to-day at 8 o'clock at Greenwich, to contest the constituency as a Liberal candidate for that borough at the forthcoming general election. A requisition is also in course of signature at Woolwich, inviting Sir John V. Shelley, M.P. for Westminster, to become the second Liberal candidate for that borough. MANCHESTER. The Manchester Liberals have failed to induce Mr. R. N. Philips to offer himself for the borough, and tho selection committee having reported the failure to a meeting on Mon day evening, it was resolved to invite Mr. Milner Gibson, and, in the event of his refusal, Mr. Miall. A proposal was made in favour of Mr. Abel Heywood, but was negatived. Meantime Mr. Heywood has issued an addross offering himself to the constituency, in which he reminds themthat in 1859, though defeated, he polled 5,499 votes, being more than Captain Denman polled. He declares in favour of the fullest extension of the franchise, triennial Parliaments, tho ballot, redistribution of scats, and development of free trade policy; is a Nonconformist, but not an enemy to the Church, though in favour of the abolition of church-rates, and is in favour of a national system of education. The Manchester Guardian of yesterday says—" We are informed that in the course of the present week a requisi tion will be presented to Sir Charles Wood inviting him to become a candidate for Manchester at the next election. Mr. R. N. Philips and Mr. George Wilson having declined to come forward, the advanced Liberals' have now turned their attention to Mr. Milner Gibson ; and in the event of his preferring to maintain his connection with Ashton, Mr. Edward Miall will be asked to stand with Mr. Baxley. It is possible, however, that these arrangements may be dis turbed, Mr. Abel Heywood having issued an address offering himself as a candidate." WHITBY. On Monday a meeting was held in St. Hilda's Hall for the purpose of organising an opposition to the re-election of Mr. H. S. Thompson, the present member for that borough. Mr. Samuel Flintoft moved, and Mr. William Wood se conded, that Mr. George Hudson be invited to contest the seat. Mr. Robert Barry moved, and Mr. J. J. Rigg se conded, that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe be requested to become a candidate at the next election. For Mr. Hudson 30 voted, and 11 for Mr. Duncombe. A requisition is there fore in course of signature to Mr. Hudson, for whom many of the people of Whitby profess a high esteem. On the other hand, it is hardly probable that the heads of the Tory party will unanimously support that gentleman. A letter was read from Mr. lavlson, in which he expressed a con viction almost amounting' to certainty that the result of the present Chancery suit with the .Piorth-Eastern Railway Company would be to leave in his pt;ssession the West Cliff property. WEST NORFOLK. A very numerously attended and influential meeting of the Conservative party was held at the Cora-hall, Swaffham, on Monday, to determine whether the divisiyn should be contested in the interests of that party, the present recresen tation being the result of a compromise, and the present presentatives being Mr. G. W. P. Bentinck (Conservative), and Mr. Brampton Gurdon (Whig). The meeting was throughout most unanimous and enthusiastic. Mr. J. S. Scott Chad was voted to the chair. Mr. DRAKE, the Conservative agent, stated that the re gister was more satisfactory than he had known it for years, and from a very careful examination ho felt justified in saying that in a contest there would be a majority of 500 votes, making duo allowance for everything. Mr. W. BAGGE (formerly member for West Norfolk) said after that very flattering statement he had great pleasure in proposing that this division of the county should be con tested. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BUCKWORTH said that on the last occasion he was in the chair, and his mouth was therefore shut, but he believed then that they were strong enough to fight and win, and he believed they were a great deal stronger now. He had therefore great pleasure in seconding the proposition. This resolut:on, being put to the meeting by the Chair man, was carried with acclamation, and the Chairman in vited some one to propose a second candidate. Mr. BAGGE—As nobody seems ready to propose a candi date.—(Loud cries of " You are the man.") I am very much obliged to you, but I have placed ray interest at the service of my friend Mx. De Grey. I have been canvassing with him the districts of Clackclose and Marshland Hundreds, and my friends have been good enough to accept Mr. De Grey. I have great pleasure in proposing as our second candidate the lion. Thomas De Grey. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Mr. BECKWORTH had great pleasure in seconding the pro position. He thought it was a very good thing to put a young man into harness, especially if, like Mr. De Grey, ho bore promise of taking a leading place in the Legislature of this country. (Cheers.) Mr. A. FOUNTAINE thought Mr. De Groy a very proper person, but he thought the interest of the older member ought not to be forgotten; in fact, Mr. Bentinck's interest ought to bo first. Mr. BAGGE—I never canvassed but for the two: (Cheers.) Mr. FouNTAINE said it being understood that Mr. Ben tinck's interests were to be paramount, ho should support Mr. De Grey. Mr. BENTINCK and Mr. DE GREY having severally assured the electors that they should work together for each other, and Mr. HAGGARD and Mr. J. D. HAY HILL having each addressed the meeting to a similar effect, it was agreed most unanimously, and with acclamation, that Mr. De Grey should be the second candidate. Mr. DE GREY returned thanks. He did not agree with those who thought this was not quite the timo to contest the division, but he felt their kindness all the more for accepting him. He was quite sure that if all his friends worked as hard as Mr. W. Bagge had done there was little doubt of the result of the contest. (Cheers.) He hoped his hon. friend Mr. Bentinck would not find him a very heavy weight. Mr. BENTLNCK said the meeting having come to a una nimous resolution to put him forward again in conjunction with his friend Mr. De Grey, he most cordially bowed to that decision, and there should be nothing wanting on his part that would conduce to tho return of both. He had known Mr. De Grey from his childhood, and he was satis- Red he should receive from him the same cordial friendly support which it would be his first object to give him. In the course of the canvass he had heard it said that "it would be a good thing to get in a little fresh blood." (Laughter and cheers.) That remark might be thought to reflect a little on a person like himself, who had been con nected with this sort of thing for more than 40 years. Nobody, however, concurred more with that remark than himself. A man's powers and energies did not last for ever, and for a man to represent a large constituency, and per form his duties faithfully, they were far from being light. (Cheers.) Ho should be most happy to render M. De Grey all the assistance he could. (Cheers.) After some few remarks from Mr. A. T. AMHERST, a vote of thanks was proposed to the chairman, which was duly accorded, and the meeting broke up. The Fatal Affray in the Commercial-road , IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY (THIS DAY.) The unfortunate man who was shot by Mr. Robert Debenham, surgeon, on Monday night, in the yard behind Heath House, Commercial-road, was identified this after noon. The unfortunate deceased is not a burglar. His name is Thomas Solomon, a ship painter, of 11, Stepney causeway, and his wife and child are living at Bristol. He was holiday-making and drinking with some friends, at No. 11, Heath-street, adjoining Mr. Debenham's garden, on Monday night. He was suddenly missed at 11 o'clock, and owing to the description - given of him in the news papers last night and this morning, people repaired to the workhouse in Bancroft-road at one o'clock this afternoon and identified him. He is a man of good character and inoffensive habits. On Monday night he was the worse for liquor, climbed over a wall, reached. Mr. Debenham's garden, and was shot. MARKETS--•This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate, but nearly the whole of the supply was received in good condition. Owing to the favourable accounts at hand respecting the young crops, millers showed no disposition to operate freely. However, a fair clearance was effected, and all good and fine samples changed hands at Monday's currency. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was limited, nevertheless previous quotations were steadily maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request at lato rates. With barley the market was but moderately supplied, yet the barley trade was slow, and in some instances prices were rather easier. Malt was in slow request at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was moderate; on the whole, the trade was steady, and good and fine samples supported previous quotations. Beans and peas changed hands at fully late rates. The market was very moderately supplied. In flour only a moderate business was transacted at late prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Inman steamer City of Boston, from New York on the 27th ult., arrived at Queenstown at 10 30 a.m. to-day. She brings $754,928 in specie, and 484 passen gers. She landed 107 passengers and 15 sacks of mails, and proceeded at 11 30 a.m. for Liverpool. Dr. Blackburn has been committed for trial at the Toronto Assizes, on the charge of violating the neutrality laws. Heavy- bail has been accepted. The steamers Virginia, City of Boston, and Saxonia take out $1,700,000 in specie. The Tribune says that the Attorney-General has decided that the amnesty proclamation was a means to secure the suppression of the reb,;llion. The rebellion ended, the amnesty is void. It does not restore citizenship or Property. The confiscation decrees are in full force, and the exercise of execu tive clemevey cannot extend to the future. BOROUGH HOP. The accounts from the plantations being very favourable our market is dull both for English and foreign hops. Owing to the limited supply on offer, however, prices are supported. WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat on sale is very moderate, and the trade rules firm, as follows : _ Beef, from 3s 4d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 4s 4d to 5s Bd3 lamb, 6s Od to 7s 4d; veal, 4s 01 to 5s Od; and pork, 3s 6d to 4s 10d per Blbs, by the carcase.

EFFECT OF FORESTS ON CLIMATE.—From the paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences by M. Becquerel, ,which we have already referred to, it al t ears that evaporation from the leaves of forest trees i s an incessant cause of moisture, because the slightest rel igeration of the atmosphere will preci pitate; vapours under the form of rain, which will penetrate into the 80;2 either directly or else through the medium of the root::: The trunks, branches, and leaves of trees absorb a 2 d emit warmth much more slowly than the atmosphere ; hence the mo mentary variations of temperature Lxperienced by the latter exercise no influence on the temperature of forests ; but the latter, warmed by the sun, will by radiation communicate some warmth to the air, and thus prevent too great a fall of temperature during the night. Nevertheless, M. Boussingault and other travellers, who have examined the question in the equinoctial regions of America, are of opinion that the abundance of forests and consequent humidity of the soil tend to cool the climate, and that a scanty vegetation, generally accompanied by a dry soil, tends to increase the warmth. On the other hand M. de Humboldt, by comparing the thermometrical observations, made in North America from 1771 to 1834 at 35 military sta tions extending along 40 degrees of longitude, found that the temperature had undergone no change, although a vast extent of forest land had been cleared. This discrepancy in the re sults M. Becquerel endeavours to explain by supposing that previous observers neglected to take into account the power of radiation of the soil according to its quality. Ile states that there is a difference of from six to seven deg. Cent., between the radiation of a dry soil and that of a damp one ; the radiation of humus being some times as much as 12 deg., and that of the air 25. It is because of this radiation that grapes ripen best on , stony ground, which cools more slowly than a sandy, chalky, or clayey soil. Hence the clearing of a sili ceous or silico-calcareous soil will raise the average temperature of the air more than the clearing of any other soil. The west of Europe owes the mildness of its temperature to the hot currents which come from the desert of Sahara, situated under the same meridians ; and if by any chance this desert should happen to be transformed into forest land, the cli mate of the western region of Europe would get colder. For the same reason North America is cold, because its tropical regions are covered with im mense forests. Tho course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold ir;an the 'Jutted State& MEXICO. MATA3ton.xs, May 4.

Copy of a letter from Earl Russllto the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty:— Foreign-office, June 2, 1865. My Lords,---I have the honour to state to your lord ships, that since the date of my letter of the 11th ult., in telligence has reached this_country that the late President of the so-called Confederate States has been captured by the military forces of the United States, and has been transported as a prisoner to Fort Monroe, and that the armies hitherto kept in the field by the Confederate States have for the most part surrendered or dispersed. In this posture of affairs her Majesty's Government are of opinion that neutral nations cannot but consider the civil war in North America as at an end. In conformity with this opinion, her Majesty's Govern ment recognise that peace has been restored within the whole territory of which the United States of North Ame rica before the commencement of the civil war were in un disturbed possession. As a necessary consequence of such recognition on the part of her Majesty's Government, her Majesty's several authorities in all ports, harbours, and waters belonging to her Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or beyond the seas, must henceforth refuse permission to any vessel of war carrying a Confederate flag to enter any such ports, harbours, and waters ; and must require any Confederate vessels of war which, at the time when these orders reach her Majesty's authorities in such ports, harbours, and waters may have already entered therein on the faith of Procla mations heretofore issued by her Majesty, and which, hav ing complied with the provisions of such Proclamations, may be actually within such ports, harbours, and waters, forthwith to depart from them. But her Majesty's Government consider that a due re gard for national good faith and honour requires that her Majesty's authorities should be instructed, as regards any such Confederate vessels so departing, that they should have the benefit of the prohibition heretofore enforced against pursuit of them within 24 hours by a cruiser of the United States lying at the time within any such ports, harbours, and waters, and that such prohibition should be then and for the last time maintained in their favour. If, however, the commander of any Confederate vessel of war which may be found in any port, harbour, or waters of her Majesty's dominions at the time these new orders are received by her Majesty's authorities, or may enter such port, harbour, or waters, within a month after these new orders are received, should wish to divest his vessel of her warlike character, and, after disarming her, to re main without a Confederate flag within British waters, her Majesty's authorities may allow the commander of such vessel to do so at his own risk in all respects, in which case he should be distinctly apprised that he is to expect no further protection from her Majesty's Government, except such as he may be entitled to in the ordinary course of the administration of the law in time of peace. _ The rule as to twenty-four hours would of course not be applicable to the case of such vessel. I have addressed a similar letter to the Secretaries of State for the Home, Colonial, India, and War Offices, and also to the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea sury, requesting them, as I do your Lordships, to issue instructions in conformity with the decision of her Majesty's Government to the several British authorities at home or abroad who may be called upon to act in the matter.—l am, &c., , . (Signed) RUSSELL. NOTE.—A similar letter was addressed to the Secretaries of State for the Home, Colonial, War, and India Depart ments, and to the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury.

On Saturday morning, about 11 o'clock, the goods train for Wolverhampton arrived at Adderley Park, and was put into the siding to await the arrival of other waggons from Birmingham, and also in order that the ex press due at 11.20 from London might pass. The engine having a`goods train from Birmingham came in shortly before the arrival of the mail train, and a man named Ed ward Hood, breaksman on the goods train in the siding, being anxious to see if the waggons for which his train was waiting had arrived, stepped on the rail for that pur pose. At the same moment the mail train due at the time stated came by the station. Hood had been noticed to leave the break van and to stop on the line, but the mail train appearing so rapidly, it appears he was for the mo ment after unobserved. However, immediately after the mail train had passed ho was picked up from the line a considerable distance from the position in which he had been last seen, and his body presented a sickening spec tacle. The buffer or the engine had evidently struck him and knocked his head to pieces, and falling on the line the wheels had passed over the bruised mass, cutting off one trunk was his feet, and lio completely decapita tin g him that the l o m v n a o l s y v e a d par to t small o the fsshred sd ß r oh i f t e a ao n nd n e ia Inn,roefmat2 remaining to r i nega attachedawaitbody to the was re the inquest, which was held on Monday last. Hood appears to have been a trusted servant of the company. He was about middle age, resided near Wolverhampton, and leaves a wife and two children to lament his sudden death. 100 at I 10a 10 100 [ 100 100 1041 5
