kN') commEß CIA LVT ET LIGENCE, CITY. l'W o'C LOC K The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 Ameri can taken for export. The market gas heavy, awl prices of all kinds were id. per lb. lower. The - sales comprised 5,000 American, 170 Perham and Maranham at 50. to 7d. 200 Egyptian at sid. to 80., and 1,500 Surat at 3d. to 44d. per lb. Rail way Shares were depressed. As was yesterday anticipated under this head, the Turkish loan, has now made its appearance . officially in the market. Late in the day yesterday the notification, a copy of which will be found be low was issued by the agents, and posted at the Stock Exchange. The subscription list is to re main open to-day, but there is no question that there are already in the hands of the agents ten ders of subscription from capitalists, stock dealers, and the general public, to more than double or treble the amount required. The more particular feature, and one of striking advantage, in this financial operation, is the assignation of the tribute Payable by the Paella of Egypt to the Sultan, in sterling amount 282,0001., as a fund specially ap ' plicable for the payment of the dividends on the loan. The extinction of the principal at the moderate rate stated can scarcely be a financial difficulty with the Turkish Government, in however an exhausted condition of its Exchequer. The approval signified by Lord Clarendon of this loan and its objects, although • a satisfaction to speculators, or those who may subscribe for investment, must not be under stood as committing this Government to anything in the nature of a guarantee, either as respects in terest or principal. Well understood principles of Public policy must preclude it from engaging as part principal in the negotiation of money for the account of foreign states. In cases where Govern ment should deem it the part of good policy to ex tend a helping hand to the exigencies of allies, that object would be naturally effected by the more direct course of subsidies, for raising the amount of which, when ordinary revenue should not be equal to supply it, recourse would be had to the Money market, and the credit of the State pledged for loans, which could thus be raised on far more advantageous terms as a State debt, on the same footin g as Consols and other securities, representing _, the domestic loans of former periods. The terms of the present loan are considered to be somewhat onerous for Turkey. Taking into account the special allocation of the Egyptian tri bute, which constitutes what the Czar would call a Very " material guarantee," it would seem that the Price of 80 for a 6 per cent. stock, and that price subject also. doubtless to a certain if not consider able discount in the shape of agency and other charges was any thing but a desirable bargain for the Turkish ' treasury. Upon that price the rate of inteiest is equal to nearly 7 per cent. (61. 165.). The cash actually receivable by the borrower under this arrangement for the first two millions should be 1,600,0001., and rateably for the second million to be issued, but that sum will undergo probably sume not in cons id era bl e re d uct i on w h en su bj ec t e d to commission, and the usual expenses of exchange operations in the remittance of the funds. The loan has been received with all the favour on the St oc k E xc h ange that could b e des i red b y the parties who are bringing it out. From 3to 4 per cent, premium at which it ruled for the coming out.. this m orn i ng th e rates have ascended, and at this present moment are quoted 6 to 7 per cent. premium. At the meeting of the Northern and Eastern Railway Company this day the dividend for the half-year was agreed to, as follows :—On shares of 50/. guaranteed 5 per cent. per annum, it. ss. each; on shares of 501. guaranteed 6 per cent. per an num, 1/. 10s.: less property' tax. The settlement of account now on band has led to a rather material improvement in the quotations of public securities. It has turned out to be a Bear account. The speculators for the fall have oversold themselves, and find the market rare of stock. In consequence, Consols from 93a, buyers in the morning for money, rose to 94k, buyers, at which rate outstanding accounts had to be balanced. Speculators for the fall, however, would seem not to have much faith in the permanency of the higher rates, for there were sellers for the account now Opened for the 13th proximo at 93Z- and 94.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Henry Tames Hall, 35, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a dwelling-house, with intent to defraud the Westminster Fire-office. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Giffard proescuted. The pri soner was defended by Mr. Parry. It appeared from the statement of the learned coun sel for the prosecution, that the evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a circumstantial character, and the main facts rested upon to support the charge were these. The prisoner carried on the business of a coffee-shop and eating houskeeeper at 158, Fleet street, and his family consisted of two children and a sister, who acted as housekeeper. It appeared that he had been insured in the Westminster Fire-office. for other premises previously to his taking possession of the house in question, which was at the beginning of the year, and he obtained a fresh policy for stock in trade, fixtures, &c., for 8501. The fire in question broke out about twelve o'clock at night on the 27th August last year, and it appeared that the house was nearly consumed before the fire could be extinguished. The first thing that created suspicion was observing that the fire appeared to have commenced on the landing of the first floor, and it was observed that a great quantity of shavings had been strewed about in different parts of the house. The prisonerin the usual course sent in a claim for 7561.175., and enquiries were then made which resulted in the present charge being made against the prisoner. It appeared that for some time before the fire he had removed a quantity of property from the house in Fleet-street to a lodging he had taken at Islington, and shortly before fire he had given out that he had sold the business. On the Satur day before the fire happened it appeared that the prisoner removed the children and his sister from the house in Fleet-street to the lodging at Islington ; and it appeared that the former was never opened for the purposes of business again until the fire occurred, and the prisoner accounted for not opening the house on the Monday by stating that it had been arranged with the new purchaser that there should be a holiday on that day. It was shown that the prisoner was in the house on Saturday the 25th, at night, and it appeared that about 10 o'clock on the night of the fire, a waiter at the Portugal Hotel, which adjoined the prisoner's house, heard some one moving about and he called out the prisoner's name, but re ceived no answer. When the prisoner was questioned after the fire, he gave several contradictory statements as to the period when he first heard of the fire, and on his being asked by one of the firemen whether he had sent in his claim to the fire office, he replied that there was plenty of time, and that there was no use in doing a thing and being sorry for it afterwards. It also ap peared that after the claim had been sent in by the pri soner, a surveyor was sent to make the necessary in quiries, and in answer to questions put by him to the prisoner, he said that he had sold the business to a person named Parker, who was to give him 3001. for it; and on his being asked who this Mr. Parker was, and where he lived, be at first said that he lived at Dalston, but that a letter woubi not reach him at that address, and on being pressed, he promised to come again ano ther day and bring an address, and also a copy of the agreement that had been entered into between them. The man did so, however, but it appeared that he aban doned the claim he had made upon the company and absconded. The learned counsel then called his wit nesses. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. MARKET .NEWS-(THIS DAY.) 1 2020 HAY MARKETS.

Sims Reeves for three " farewell' performances prior to " their departure from London for the present season," and the first of them took place last night. The Lyceum Theatre was filled to the ceiling to witness the Bohemian Girl—an opera that has taken a peculiar hold of the unsophisti cated public, and which is seldom revived without meet ing with considerable patronage. The audience last night was of the old sort. Enthusiasm of the warmest kind pre vailed, and Mr. Sims Reeves and his better half received with a cordiality which betokened the strength and con tinuance of the popular interest. Mr. Sims Reeves was in excellent voice, and the pretty music of this operatic perennial fell from his lips as gracefully and pleasantly as ever it did. In the once-famous song, ",I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," Mrs. Sims Reeves was encored with extraordinary vehemence. She, in fact, seemed to be in as much vogue as her husband—if we may judge by the usual tests. Mr. Weiss was the Count Arnheirn, and Mr. Farquharson Smith the Devilshoof, the comicalities of the latter being, we need hardly ob serve, relished in proportion to its extravagance. The chorus was tolerable, and the orehestra was conducted by Mr. J.. H. Tully. The Sonnantbula and the Lucia di Lammermoor are announced.

We came to the Turkish head-quarters here yester day ; on our way we passed the month of the river Priasis (now Rhion). The view it presents is very beau s. broad, rapidly flowing (though somewhat muddy) river, the banks of which are covered with trees of the greatest luxuriance in growth and quantity, its introduc tion to salt water being presided over by a little wooded islet in the centre of the mouth, sparkling emerald-like in the morning sun. At the extremity of the left bank is a Russian square redoubt of solid masonry, the empty embrasures of which now look harmlessly upon the scene of Jason's wanderings, and if Jason made the first ac quamtance of the Colchians on as brilliant a morning as that on which we passed it, he might have mistaken the whole of the visible course of the old Phasis for one huge, burnished, sparkling, golden fleece. Carrying the eye nearly a mile beyond the old redoubt I have mentioned, over the rich verdure of the same bank, it falls on towers • and battlements. These are at once seen to be Ge noese. There is no mistaking those lofty, solid, grass grown walls upon which, but the other day, Rus sian guns were bristling to very little purpose ; those guns (fur the most part having their truunions knocked off, and otherwise rendered useless) now lie under the old walls, and the long gras4, in rank luxuri ance, is fast shutting them in from the light of day. Among them are the remains of fine brass pieces: Be yond these old walls of Poti the river disappears in a bend lost in labyrinths of wood ; in mid-distance rises a steep bill, one mass of foliage, and, terminating all, rise above wood and stream the distant mountains of the Caucasus, stretching across on their way to the Caspian, their upper half a mass of snow sed fleecy cloud, their lower a mysterious h art. On our former visit to Poti we took from the place a few tons of Russian coal ; the place is perfectly deserted, and has suffered much from the usual Russian policy of incendiarism. The only in habitants at present are Asiatic fleas, and such fleas ! They inhabit the sand, they tenant the long grass, and exist everywhere—the deserted huts are full of . them. Some of them migrated on board with us, and I declare to you they are so big that they give an audible shriek when one succeeds in massacring them ; the coals, too, which we took on board were full of the brutes. Since I last wrote we have been to Chamsheer, about 30 miles north of Redout-Kaleh, in search of fresh beef and pro visions, as a change for the men from their salt fare. We reached Chamsheer early in the morning, and were somewhat undecided as to whether the Place was in Tur kish or in Russian hands, so we sent our interpreter to communicate ; our doubts were soon relieved by a visit from a fezzed and turbaned multitude, who informed us of the departure in toto of "Moskoo." Not quite in toto, however, for a Russian General, Prince Michael, still presides over Chamsheer and its neighbourhood ; odd enough, you will say, but then Prince Michael has an alias—Hamid Bey —and was born a Turk and of Mussulman parents, and has even now, they say, strong sympathies, both religious and patriotic, with his original brethren. He was captured with two bro thers (Alexandro and Said) in Circasiia or Mingrelia ; they were all educated in Russia, and attained to high Russian rank. Hamid Bey became very distinguished, and latterly settled at Chamsheer, with a goodly pro perty of acres and serfs ; his house is very fine, the basement storey of atone, and the r •maintler of wood, finely decorated. He declined receiving our captain, hilt expressed a strong wish to speak with our inter preter, which was not complied with. Soon afterwards Prince Michael found it convenient to ride into the country, to suppress some insurrection (either real or imaginary) in a Georgian village, taking care to take with him all his horses, lock up his stables, and secure his mansion under lock and key. On reaching the shore, we fuund that great consterna tion had been caused by our arrival ; the Turks, thinking we were Russians, had tarred all the points of timber in the wooden houses of which Chamsheer is entirely composed, and were prepared to evacuate arid fire them at a moment's notice. The town is a long straggling street of wooden buts and shops ; the latter are now tenanted by turbaned Turks, who sit on their ancles, sucking at their chiboeques, as though they had dwelt there all their lives ; from these I bought some beautiful sables of the Caucasus. Crossing a substantial Russian bridge of wood, stretched over a mixture of half swamp and half stream, we reached a little Georgian village, where we were evidently looked upon as wonderful specimens of natural history by the :ahabitants. The ;louses are composed of wattle work, or wood, and consist of three or four rooms on the ground floor, the principal room being lined with sofas, upon which (when seen by us unawares) the residents were reclining. I never saw so many women to a houselioki as in this place—about half-a-dozen to each—and generally exceedingly pleasing and pretty in appearance, and graceful in their walk. At first sight of us they generally adhered to the Turkish custom, and, covering up their faces, ran away to an inner room, or closed their doors while we passed by ; but soon curiosity prevailed, the doors opened a little, and then whole figures came gradually to view, until at length they came out in a body and unveiled, and boldly criticized the appearance of the "Ingleez ;" they were attired in coloured or pure white drapery, drawn in to the waist, and setting off their figures and fair com plexions to advantage. The men wear a calpac and robe supplied with cartridges like the Circassians, and are generally fine, intelligent-looking fellows. In the village we had a gossip with some Turks, one of whom made a remark which I must tell you. The interpreter explained to him that all the Russian vessels were at Sebastopol under large batteries, and that English, French, and Turkish ships were now in the entire possession of these waters. He replied, that, as the Ingleez, Franseer, and Osmanli held the " Caara Denniz" (Black Sea), it was greatly to be feared that "Moskoo" would have to go without fish. for dinner. Among the houses of the little villoge are placed curious-looking pigeon house places of wattle work, supported on poles to a height of about 15 to '2O feet, looking like windmills without their sails. These we discovered to be store houses and magazines, more particularly for corn, which at such a height is preserved more dry and in better condition. At the top of one of these I saw a fellow with a rifle keeping watch over us, waiting (like Austria) the turn of events, and I have no doubt that each of these places had a similar occupant ; one of them also kept guard in the upper storey of Hatnid Bey's mansion. The country round Cliamsbeer is luxuriantly beautiful. In the evening we went off to the ship with our supply of cattle, seine of which were for our friends at Redout-Kaleh. We have commenced a flirtation with a Mingrelian village nearly two hours from Redout-Kaleh ; the inter preter accompanied the party, and also a strong escort of B ishi-Bazouks. At first sight of them the Min grelian Bey and his principal people stood in line, and, taking off their calpacs and tucking them under their arms, bowed low, their bow, like Lord Burleigh's shake of the head, being ..very expressive - first, esteem for the rank and appearance of an En . lish visitor ; secondly, fear and trembling at the ap pearance of the Bashi-Bazouks ; and, thirdly, an unpleasant reminiscence of the threat of the Russian General, only nine miles from them, that if any assistance or communication were carried on between their village and the Turks or English, it should in• stantly be burnt or spoiled. They were told to put on their hats, and then ensued a " palaver," carried on in English to our interpt eter, handed ov,r in Turkish to a Turkish officer, and from the last in the Miegrelian language to the villagers. The Mingrelians expressed their be:ief (instilled into them by the Russians) that the Turks had come to spread their religion by force among them They sail they were between two fires, and de licately insinuated that their best policy would be, in case of compulsion, to fight with.the strongest, whoever he might be ; also that they knew that two great nations were fighting against Russia. They seemed somewhat as tonished to find that the English were Christians, and not assisting in the spread of thereligion of the Crescent; but on the contrary, in conjunction with the French, had raised the Cross to an eleva.;ion not before known in Turkey. All this through the interpretation of the Turkish officer. Finally, they brought out some wine for their visitors, and got up a sort of tournament for them. Six of them mounted horses with bare backs and with out bridles, and each rode at and tried to dismount his neighbour ; and the feats of horsemanship shown in this amusement are described as something wonderful. The parting took place wi th ex p r e s sions of goodwill, an d a place of meeting (a mile or two from Redout-Kaleh) was appo i n ted for Saturday.

Fever and ague be gin to be severely felt here. We return to Redout this evening, and Sella, Pasha, goes with us. The other day, at Reduut-Kalele I met with a• Bashi-B,,zouk, whose weapons were those of the middle ages—an ine mense battle-axe was stuck in his shawls (in addition to the usual complement of knives and pistols), and in his hand he carried a large iron club.

The llfoniteur has the following, under the head of " The Russian policy in Asia and the expedition to Khiva":— " The policy which Russia pursues in Asia merits attention, not only as being the source of agitations in the East, but also as an explanation of the proceedings and pr , .jects of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg with re gard to the European States, her n ighbours. It is in the conduct of the Asiatic policy of Russia that is more clearly revealed the fundamental idea of her Cabinet. This idea, which is often thwarted in Europe by foreign influences, and sometimes suspended in its action, appearing to be al mos t a b an d oned, has never ceased to manifest itself throughout the whole of Asia. It is an idea eminently Asiatic, borrowed by the Czars of Russia from the once powerful Sovereigns of the Tartars. It starts on the conviction that the Russian Empire only owes its own existence to destroying that of its neighbours, and that a continued and permanent ac tion abroad is an essential condition of life at home; it is what Peter the Great expressed by these words :—'My Empire is an army on the march; the Czar is the soldier par excellence.' Thus Russia has never ceased to repre sent herself in the Ear, (except with regard to China) not as one of the Powers, but as the only Power having or assuming to itself the privilege of preponderance, of protection, and consequently of relil s_wereignty. This pretension obliges her to seize eagerly on every opportu nity of interfering in the affairs of her Asiatic neighbours, and she does not hesitate to start pretexts for so doing, if none happen to present themselves. She incessantly directs towards Khiva both her troops and her agents, and, whatever may be the definitive fate of those enter• prises, she certainly will persist in them. The dangers which result from them, although not immediate, do not the less certainly exist for the neighbours more or less close to Russia. The encroaching policy of the Ca binet of St. Petersburg finds in the Khanate of Khiva all kinds of elements for working on—such as the geographical situation, the diversity of races, their re lations with the adjoining countries, &c. Russia, with out sending her troops against the English and the Persians, might, from the influence she exercises over Khiva, raise, whenever she th oug ht p ro p er , ser i ous em harrassmentfor those two Powers, and she will not fail to have recourse to it." (The Moniteur then gives a detail of the Russian expedition to Khiva in 1840, tinder General Perowski, and continues :)—" In 1850 the co-quests of the English troops in the Punjaub led to another contre-coup on the part of Russia. The Emperor Nicholas, s-eing that the Indo-Britannic pos sessions hal been drawn back as far as Peshawur, pro posed to the Shah of Persia to purchase the town and port of Asterabi:d at Vie price of the arrears of the con tribution duet to Russia ; but the negotiations opened on this tubjeet led to no result. In the meantime (he flotilla wf Astrakau milit ar il y o , :cup i e d the island of Acboura, hich commands the entrance of that part, where a Ru-sian Consul has since resided. The fortress Leuko ran has just been completed on the plan of Peter the Great ; it is close to the frontier of Russia and Persia, and is only separated from the port of Novo-Alexandro cock by the breadth of the Caspian Sea. The latter, without being so large or so well defended as Leukoran, commands the most important position on the eastern side, as it is at the culminating point of the corner of a hay (Mertvoizalive), which penetrates far into the Desert, and only 180 leagues from the Lake of Aral Another circumstance adds to the importance of Fort Novo-Alexandrovosk, which is, that it is in immediate communication with the Jemantes, the Alas, and the Tchoudars, powerful Turkoman tribes of the Eastern coast, the first of which reckons 20,000 tents, the second 1,000, and the last 600. Several of their chiefs re ceive pensions from the Russian Government, and keep up constant relations either with the commander of Novo- A lexandrovosk or with the Rus•ian Consul at Asteraliad. The nature of the service of this consulate is more par ticularly political, the commerce of the place being in significant. Under these two influences the Turkomans are already More obedient to Russia than to Persia, and may be usefully employed against the latter as well as against Khiva. It must be remarked that since the commencement of the present war between Russia and Turkey the periodical press of London and Calcutta has already several times spoken of fresh attempts of General Perowski against Khiva, which are said to have suc ceeded. Although this assertion requires confirmation, the fact is possible. Certainly, in the present crisis, the will is not wanting to Russia. She would be happy to create embarrassment to the English Cabinet, were it only to show that she might really at some future day threaten the English possessions in India, and prove a more or less serious argument in „upport of the opinion which she endeavours to create in the East of her universal preponderance." THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS AND THE GOVERNMENT. The threatened withdrawal of the omnibuses in conse quence of the rigid regulations issued by the Commis sioners of Police has been averted, chiefly by the inter ference of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom Mr. Bradfield, on the part of the stage carriage committee, made an appeal. The Chancellor sent the following reply : " Downing-street, Aug. 15. " SIR,—I am directed by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to acknowledge the receipt of your communication dated August 4. " The Chancellor of the Exchequer has instructed me to express to you his hope that the arrangements 'which have now been adopted with reference to the regulation of seats in omnibuses, and of which a report has been transmitted by Sir Richard Mayne to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will prove satisfactory to the committee of stage carriage proprietors, on whose behalf your co " m l in ,R in N i e ca ls tio t n , has be en made. have the honour to , b ,,a e s , sir, a dd y r o e u s s r e v d e very t faithful hectw a s servant, or The "M f,, r.J ll . o E vo . n ß g ra le d t fi te e r ld. of the Exchequer in acknowledgment "Stage Carriage Committee, Sift, —I Aug. I G. beg to acknowledge y our l etter of the 15th " ns t The amended police regul,iti on w h ich Sir R. Mayne s ettled in an interview I had with him, has removed the difficulties referred to in my communic:ition to you of August 4. The police regulation complained of was pre pared and issued without any reference to the trade, and, as we are advised, was in direct Opposition to the spirit of the Stage Act. The committee considered it was a case to be brought under your notice, and have to express their grateful thanks to you for your kind and prompt attention to their interests. -I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant, " To the Ri g ht R on. the Chancellor of the Exchequer." SpF,EAD OF CHOLERA.— The cholera continues to spres,cl in Belfaq. The Banner of Ulster of yesterday says : " Since last Wedne-day there have been 51 cases at tended to by the doctors of the Barrack-street establish ment, which still remains open day and night. These 51 cases make in all, since the return of the malady in last month, 174, of which it is calculated that not less than 75 have died. Attacks of diarrhoea and other collateral ailments are not here included, nor cases occurring in private practice, the number of which it is imp ,, ssible to di-cover " The same journal remarks that—"Thediea , e is not confined to Belfast, but that instances of its fatal occurrence have happened in country districts. In the town of Antrim a girl engaged in winding yarn for an establishment there took suddenly ill on Saturday evening se'nnight, and died on the next day, On the following Friday the girl's mother also died of cholera.

Sir B. Hall arrived shortly before 12 o'clock in an open carriage, accompanied by Sir J. V. Shelley, M.P., flume, M.P. Among tho gentlemen on the hinting', Were Sir J. Duke, M.P., Colonel Bagnold, Mr. C. George, Mr. Flather, Mr. V. - D. Cooper, Mr. H. Far rer, and Mr. Billett. After the usual preliminaries, A protest against the election having been handed in, the returning officer opened the proceedings. Mr. Hums, M.P., who was received with cheers, said, he wished to inform the gentleman who had handed in a protest that the statements which it contained were in every respect inaccurate. They had assembled to dis charge one of the most important duties which as Englishmen they could perform, by returning a repre sentative to the Commons' Heu , e of Parliament. He had now lived in the parish of Marylehone for 43 years; he had never ceased to advocate the right of the people to representative institutions; and ho hoped to live to see that principle carried out much more extensively than had yet been the case. He had known Sir B. Hall for upwards of a quarter of a century, and although not always agreeing with him, he had found him, on the whole what be denominated a liberal progres sive reformer. He regarded the offiee Sir B. Hall had accepted as one of the most important which any man could hold ; and although he regre tt e d th a t hi s friend, Mr. Chadwick, whom he had known for many years. and who was an assiduous and laborious public servant, at h hb a el d e r e been foa eege believed unablear earnest, ets t p, ea o an pleasure dt c uh a rey carry y out the measures which were considered essent i al for the maintenance of the public health, rnb ewnaolponrulodsp proposing nbdgl public officer. or S f aß i re.eßrn. Hall a sl had a n a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Par liament. Mr. STOCKTON seconded the nomination. After a short discussion in which Messrs. Macdowall, Langham, and Beacon, took part, and no opposing candi d Lte having appeared, The Returning Officer announced that Sir B. Hall was duly elected, amid considerable cheering. Sir B. HALL then came forward and was received with cheers. He said, he would endeavour to answer the questions which had been put to him, and also to ex plain the course which, as a public roan, he had deemed it his duty to pursue. In the first place, however, he must beg to thank the electors of the borough for having, for the fifth time, returned hiin to Parliam en t as their representative. He wished also to express his thanks to his hon. friend Mr. Hume, who had kindly remained in London to propose his re election. It had been said that the office which he (Sir B. Hail) had recently accepted had been an office of centr tlisation, a n d that it would continue to be so. He (Sir B. Hall) had . _ alreldy stated that it should not he au Office of centralisa am. He bad not taken office from any of those sordid and miserable motives which were often attributed to public men. He thought it would be unworthy of him to allude further to such a subject, but he m;zhtask whether the representatives of great boroughs like Marylebone were not to be allowed to take office for the purpose of doing good ? A question had also been put with regard to the equalisation of the poor rates. That was a sub. ject on which a committee would sit next session of Par liament, and it was one of the most important that could be conceived. There could be no doubt that that com mittee would go into the whole subject carefully and impartially. There was only one other question, and that related to the repeal of the taxes on knowledge. With regard to that, he Lad given hie vote in favour of the repeal, and lie should continue to do so in future. He thanked them must sincerely for the confidence they had reposed in him. (Cheers.) Thanks were then given to the returning officer, and the proceedings terminated. 1 MALDON. Yesterday the e l ec ti on o f two mem b ers to represent this borough i n P ar li ament was commenced by the nomi nation, on husti ngs erecte d i n front of the Town-hall, of no fewer th an five candidates =— namely , Mr. P eacoc k e , who was e l ec t e d for Fl , rwich in 1852, b u t a f terwar d s unseated on petiti on ; M r. B ramley Moore, both of whom stand on th e C onservat i ve interest; Mr. Quintin Dick (a Liberal Conservative) ; Mr. Leonard (Liberal) ; and Mr. Thomas M'Enteer, a barrister, who styles himself " the people's candidate." Mr. Leonard was revectivelynominated and seconded by Dr. May and Mr. Payne ; Mr. Quintin Dick, by Mr. J. S. Hance and Mr. Polley; Mr. Peacocke, by Mr. W. Codd and Mr. Wood ; Mr. Bramley Moore, by Mr. Thorpe and Mr. liempe ; and Mr. M'Enteer, by Mr. Joslin and Mr. Freeman. The respective candidates haying addressed the elec. tors, The MAYOR called for a show of hands, which he de clared to be decidedly in favour of Mr. Leonard and Mr. M'Enteer. A poll was then demanded on behalf of the other cnn• didates, which will commence and end this day. BARNSTAPLE. The contest for this borough, besides the general into• rest attached to it on account of the repite which it has received, excites an unusual degree of local interest on account of the personal feeling embarked in it. The can didates are Mr. Tite, the architect of the Royal Exchange, who comes forward on the Liberal interest ; Mr. Guin ness, who is connected with the brewery business in Dub ho ; and Mr. Laurie. The two latter come forward on a joint interest, and are supported by the Conservative party and the old freemen with great zeal and earnest ness. The borough is, of course, all excitement, for the nomination takes place to-morrow (Wednesday). The 111.1.1 r, under the provisions of the recent Br►bery* Act, has appointed Mr. J. Jerwood, barrister, of Exeter, election auditor for this election. It is reported that the Liberals have an opinion from a high legal authority, that the 270 electors convicted of bribery at the last election are disqualified from voting on this, as it is held to be a continuation of the last election, which was in valid on account of bribery. The candidates on that occasion being disqualified for having bribed, it is held that the bribed electors are also disqualified. Th►s nice point is to be raised by a notice being served in due form on each of the "immaculate" when he comes up to ten der his vote. At the nomination te,lay (Wednesday) the show of hands was in favour of Me-ers. Tite and Laurie. CAMBRIDGE. The nomination of candidates desirous of securing this representation of Cambridge took place yesterday (Wed nesday), on Parker's-piece. Dr. LEAPINGWELL proposed Mr. Adair, alluding briefly to the proceedings unveiled by the late commission, and de signating them a disgrace to the electoral body of Cam bridge. He was exceedingly glad that reform had been introduced into the universities, and was sure that their best friends would not object to such an introduction, but would rather feel rejoiced at it. Mr. G. FOSTER, banker, seconded the nomination. Mr. BALLS, chairman of the committee of Lord Maidstone, and Mr. SLADE, pr.posed Lord Maidstone as one well able to advance their interests in the House of Corninons,—a nobleman and a gentleman. Mr. MARSHALL, cheesemonger, seconded the nomina tion. Mr. Alderman ERIN proposed, and Mr. Alderman ELLIOT SMITH seconded Mr. Mowatt. Mr. FICELIN proposed, and Mr. Alderman Wszrz , WORTH seconded Mr. Slade. Mr. MOWATT and Mr. SLADE having declared their political creed, A. show of hands was called for by the Mayor ; the numbers appeared to be as evenly divided as possible, but Messrs. Adair and Mowatt had a small majority, and the Mayor so gave it in. The proceedings concluded about two o'clock, and were distinguished by nothing worthy of a more ex tended report. Mr. Campbell has retired. at 1:Y1,1:DONE , S B. .Ufa:, wit(' had re,igned fas iettifontlitrhait.ru f Maryletone on 4ppom-trnent A. ,, i - etite..--44 -JIM - • 3 oar,' of trealth ; was rp-elected --jr.esterclay. i i t.ok himtitligi erected for the oeca.,ion in CANTERBURY. The nomination of candidates for this borough takes place to•day (Thursday) in the Cattle•market. Five candidates are at present seeking the suffrages of the electors—all pledged to go to the poll—the Hon. George Smythe having just retired. Great interest is displayed by all classes of electors as to the result of the contest. n eutgi U ho n L o fo L fK . twi m e write n t f for r t h t e h l e ) t e , r l ( e ) Parliament negsmtoenm- u h p e o r s n . t H o u s e n r v w i e i r e n received by the Sheriff, Charles Liddell, Esq., and proclamation has been made that the nomination will take place on Thursday (this day), and the polling on Friday. On Wednesday evening, the two Liberal candidates, Messrs. Watson and Seymour, and their friends Mr. Clay and Mr. Digby Seymour, M.P. addressed an im mense meeting in Osborne-street The hour appointed was eight o'clock, but long before that time the street was completely blocked up by the mass of people who had assembled to hear the candidates. Mr. WATSON, Q.C., on coming forward, was received with vociferous cheers, and having addressed the electors was followed by Mr. Sumoun. He said—Gentlemen, I am not a man of many words. I cannot address you with the eloquence of my learned friend, your other ca ndidate, kt.an Mr. Watson. I am more accustomed to the desk h the great of London.
