Then here's to the suit —the prime new suit— Which wands in its make alone : May it spread the fame of MOSES' name, Already so wide,y known. In the days of old no dress was sold Like the suit whose praise I •ing ; High price was paid in the tailoring trade ror a far inferior thing. E. MOSES and SON have nobly done In selling a suit like this Which has proved to be " just the ticket" for me, Having nothing at all amiss. Then here's to the suit—the prime new suit— Which stands in its make alone; May it spread the faint of MOSES' name, Already so widely known. tt it new Work, entitled " FASHIONS FAVOURITE," with a up p i i of Prices, and Directions for Self-Measurement, can be had on 4 tion, or forwarded post-free.

Thu Queen gf-,va a State 8411 (the second this season), on Friday vening, at Buckingham Palace. The company present at the rrception exceeded in number those at tending any former ball given by her Majesty, the invitations having been extended to the unprecedented number of nearly two thousand The guests comprised the Royal Family, the foreign Princes in this country, the whole of the Diplomatic Corps, Foreigners of dis tinction on a visit to England, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Household of the Queen and Prince Albert, of the Queen Dowager, and of the different members of the Royal Family, the Min sters of State, and the principal members of the Administration and their Ladies, and a very numerous party of the Nobility and Gentry. The entire suite of state saloons were opened for the ball ; the throne room, as well as the ball room, was prepared for dancing, a quadrille band being stationed in both apartments. The picture gallery and the grand saloon were appropriated for the reception of the general company previous to the commencement of the ball—the royal guests being received by the Queen and Prince Albert in the yellow drawing-room. The south end of the picture gallery, and the recesses in all the sal , ons were filled with rare and beautiful shrubs and plants in flower ; the grand staircase, and the marble hall, through which the visitors were ushered to the state apartments, were also most tastefully decorated with choice and fragrant flowers. At nine o'clock the company began to arrive and continued setting down with great rapidity at the lonic Portico in Pimlico, and also at the garden entrance. The temporary erections at both entrances afforded the ,reatest facility for the ingress of the company ; that in the garden had been consid , rahly enlarged and improved since the former ball, permitting three carriages to set down at the same time. - The guard of the Yeomen Guard lined the Sculpture Gallery and Grand Hall under the command of Captain Sadler, the Exon in Waiting. The officers of the corps present were Sir G. P. Lee, the Lieutenant; Sir G. Himlton. the Ensign; and Captain Kincaid, the Exon oa luty. The band of the Coldstream Guards attended it :he conservatory Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived, attended by her Lady in Waiting and the Hon. Colonel Liddell. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George were attended by Lady Augusta Cadogan, Baron linesebt-ck, and Mr. Edmund Mildmay.

Weimar were accompani,d by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Suxe Weimar, and were attended by the Cs,untes, of Assenburg, Count de lieusi, and Baron de Ziecesar. His Royal Highness t , e Prince of Lucca was attended by the Marquis Provenzali. The nyal visitors were conducted to the yellow draw ing-room, where the Queen anti Prince Albert received their illustrious guests. Shortly before ten o'clock her Majesty and her Royal Consort, and the whole of their august ciree, entered the grand saloon, preceded by the Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Steward, and attended by the Mistress of the Lobes, the Lady in Waiting, the Viscountess Joce lyn ; the Maids of Honour in Waiting Lady Caroline Cocks and the Hon. Miss Paget ; the Lord in Waiting, Lord Cainoys; the Master of the Household; the 4room II Waiting, Major the Hon. A. N. Hood; the Equerry in Waiting, Lord Alfred Paget; the Equerry in Waiting to 1-rinee Albert, Colonel Bouveric ; and the Pages of Hat our, Mr. Henry W. Byng and Mr. A. Stuart Wortley. The Queen wore a very elegant costume. The dress was of pink and white tulle in two petticoats, over white silk, trimmed with pink ribbons and pink acacias, and ornamented with diamonds. Her Majesty's headdress was formed of a wreath of acacias and diamonds. His Royal Highness Prince Albert wore a Field Mar shal's uniform, with the ribbon and badge of a Russian order of knighthood, the stars of the British order of knighthood, and the insignia of the Golden Fleece. The august party passed through the saloon into the ball-room, and, on ht r Majesty's entrance, Mr. Henry Barnard's quadrille bane commenced playing " God save the Queen." The Queen passed on to the seats reserved for the Sovereign and the Royal latnily, followed by her illus trious guests. The general company also entered the apartment. The Lord Chamberlain, by her Majesty's command, formo•d a quadrille, and the Queen opened the ball with his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia. His Royal Highness Prince Alb, rt and the Heredi ta) y Grand Duchess of Saxe Weitnar were the opposite couple. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Duke of Saxe Weimar, his Royal Highness Prince G, orge, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Viscountess Jocelyn, joined in this quadrille. Other quadrilles followed, including " La Fille du Regiment' (Musard), " Pleiades" Cavendish (Tinney). " Les Circles de Tick)" " Estneralda" (Coote), and " Les Tuileries (Tolb. cque). Among the polkas danced were—" Cerrito" (Lanner), " Garland" (l I ndley ), " Belfast" (Tin ney), " Brunow" ( !limey), " Salon" (Straus,), and " Nurcissen" (La- Wa!tzes were also danced, including " Caroline" (Tinhe) ), " Suphien Thizti" (Si raus.-), " Mor gerilanfi" Lahitzky), " Woburn Abbey" ( Finney), "Essex" (La b‘tzky) The " Russulka" gallop (Lsbitzky), was also danced. The company were served will refreshments during the evening in the green drawing-room. After d inciug had be , n continued some time in the ball-room it was eomm,uced in the throne-room, in which Mr. Charles Coote's band atteEded. The follow ine quadrilles were darced: Macbeth (first time), Verde's Matilda, Bondman, Nino, Chatsworth, Pompey, La File du 11,girrierit (Musard), and Nina ;Tinney).

Toe toibiwing polkas were also danced:—Tambour (Strauss), Helena (D'Albert), Evelyn (Tinney), and St radeht (Coote). Supper was served soon after twelve o'clock in the state dinner room. A range of tables were placed round three of the apartments, and on them were displayed, with royal magnificence, successive servicesof gold plate, interspersed with massive ornaments of the same costly m a d t e r r e ia li e l e t d l ustrating occasionally s rini b e classical y thegraceful o rpa ro s r tiral m i of subject, elegant vases, adapted for the purpose of the banquet.

Ou the base or lower shelf of th e e . buffet was placed the " Neptune" epergne, and on either side of it were the " Hesperides" candelabra—each of these works a lasting token of the genius of the great architect who designed them. In the centre of the buffet was the Shitld of &lilies, over which, and at the top of the buffett, was the " Armada Urn." On each side of the urn were two Etruscan vases, known as the " Venus Ice pails," from the figure of the goddess forming the handle. In the upper compartment were introduced two very large embossed scent jars of great antiquity ; smaller articles of great beauty filled up the interstices between the larger ; and due advantage was taken of the present season in the display of beautiful flowers in gold vases. The buffet was bril liantly illuminated with wax lights in gold sconces and :tandelebra. THE BURSTING OF BOILERS AND ITS PREVENTION. —ln another boiler bursting case which has just oc curred, whereby thirteen workmen, at the Pont• newynngd Iron Works, have been seriously injured, the boiler was an old worn out one, which a proper inspec tor, such as we have so often advocated the necessi►y of appointing, would not have allowed for a moment to endanger lite and property; in some places it is said to have been thinner than the sixteenth of an inch! As fur the damage of property, estimated at 1,0001, besides loss of profit by stoppage of the works for a month, there is probably little to regret where so much appears to have been risked in the attempt to take so great and far too long-continued a profit out of a used•up article; but the personal injury to so many poor workmen, and the serious loss of em ployment to so many more, are deeply to he deplored Such, evils, however, will probably go on—how much lower it would be hard to tell, unless, indeed, me stray hishtp or another should happen to he " de voted" to the htel:ng ~r scalding process in some decided ca-e of boder explos..n, while another is being roasted bS railway coint.u,tion. for behouf of all ,undry and s.iff-riog lit The Builder Their Royal Highoesst , s the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, attended by the Countess Assemberg and the Baron Zigesar, honoured the Polytechnic Institution with a vi.'it on Wednesday.

Inglis, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Hudson, and other Members of the House of Commons. The dinner was, as usual, of the first quality, and the selections of songs, glees &c.—under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Messrs. Francis, Gray, Lockey, J. Kinch, Hatton, and Machin—was made with great taste; and the pieces were admirably executed. After the usual toasts from the chair, including " Church and Queen," " .The Queen Dowager," " Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, and the Royal Family," in the intervals of which " Breathe soft ye Winds," and " Blessed be the home where love makes his d ceiling," were given with exquisite skill by the musical corps, The MASTER gave, " The Army and Navy," a toast which was suitably responded to by Colonel SISTHORP. The MASTER then proposed the health of the Princi pal of St. John's College. Oxford (Dr. Wynter), and the two senior fellows of the College then present, the Rev. W. H. Stoddart and the Rev. H. L.

He propose d " The health of the Mar quis of Westminster and the House of Peers." The Marquis of WESTMINSTER, though speaking as an individual peer, could assure them that the heredi tary branch of the Legislature felt the responsibility cast upon it, and that the liberties of the country might with out tear be entrusted to the keeping of the peers. The Noble Marquis concluded by proposing " The health of the Master of the Company." Mr. PIGEON, the master, in returning thanks adverted to the remarks which bad been sometimes made upon the manner in which the charitable trusts of this country had been discharged, and expressed his conviction that they had been most faithfully and religiously ful filled. Had this not been the case, in the course of 200, 300, or 500 years, the abuses would have been re vealed. The toasts of " The Hero of Waterloo," and " Sir R. Peel," were then proposed from the chair, and re sponded to with much animation. In announcing the last, the Chairman said, although they were not there to iscuss the merits of political questions, he might be allowed to notice the consummate ability, perseverance,, industry, and eager desire to serve his country, which had at all times distinguished Sir Robert Peel. Upon the health of the Bishop of Tasmania being pro posed, The Right Rev. PRELATE expressed his great sense of obligation to the Merchant Tailors' School, to whose fostering care he owed everything, and especially the privilege of being permitted to carry the tidings of sal vation to a distant and benighted land.

DECISION OF THE AMERICAN BRANCH OF THE EVANGELICAL ALLI ANCE ON THE SLAVERY QUES LION. (From the Anti-Slavery Reporter.) Among the subjects o , deepest interest relating to the anti-slavery cause, brought to our attention by the last American packet, is the formation of the American branch of the Evangelical Alliance, and its decision on the subject of slavery. The vexata questio came up on the first day of its sitting, and • ccupied the greater part of its discussions during four days. There were three parties represented on the occasion. First, those who were anxious that the subject of American slavery should be avoided altogether ; secondly, those who were for compromising the question, by the adop tion of some middle course ; and, thirdly, those who were for a full declaration that the Alliance would not allow slavehelders to form part of it. Every attempt to evade the discussion failed. It was found impossible to keep the subject of slavery out of their deliberations. To use the language of Mr. Kirk, "It was a strange thing that the subject of slavery was introducing itself into every meeting—was like the frogs of .Egypt. No • thing was put forward with such pertinacity. One was allowed to do nothing by associated action au slavery should_be removed. Could they send missionaries to the heathen ? 'No !' was the answer, Abolish slavery !' Could they meet for ecclesiastical purposes ? No ! again—'Remove slavery In the pulpit, in deed, it was possible to preach on other subjects, and in his closet he could pray for other blessings than the re moval of slavery. But it was impossible for two men to associate together for any religious or benevolent purpoie but it would be 'thundered in their ears, Just remove slavery !' " In this statement we have the full acknowledgment of the wholesome pressure of enlight ened public opinion, as expounded by a leading minister of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Patton, whilst anxious to take a middle course, was constrained to say, that he thought " the spirit of the age, though not a ground of Christian action, was deserving of serious consideration. It was the writing of God's finger, and should no more be disregarded by us than the command ments of the Decalogue. The signs of the times all thissho inwctohnattselant Theveryis thceogurnetary will be great question which is with sto shake throes till it be thrown off." Dr. S. H. Cox pronounced the resolution intended to discriminate between "those who hold slaves, not by their own fault, or for the sake of their own advantage, but from motives entirely bene. volent ; and those who hold their fellow-creatures in bondage for the sake of -gain," as " practically ridi culous." It was, therefore, abandoned, as was also its substitute, on the ground of its generality. In the course of the discussion, Chief Justice Horn. blower said, " He could not believe that there were any slaveholders from humanity or from necessity. He could not admit the distinction between those who held slaves from love of gain and those who hel t them from motives of benevolence. He should as soon think of distin guishing between committing other crimes from motives of benevolence and selfishness. No man could be com pelled to hold slaves against his will. The law might compel a man to maintain slaves, but could not compel him to exercise acts of ownership over them." We quote these remarks from a high authority, in answer to the false declaration of some of the American delegates when in this country, that " many pious men were slave holders against their will." Mr. Chaney proposed the following resolution:— " Believing the claiming and holding of t.ur fellow-men as property to be wrong and sinful in all circumstances. and directly at war with the precepts of the Gospel, we cannot - receive as members of the Alliance those who practise this sin and wrong."—Dr. Bon.d opposed it as " too sweeping in its character," though he, at the same time, admitted "that slavery in this country (the United States) is worse than in any country on the globe. The slave laws of the southern states are more intolerant than those of the Mahommedans. The laws of his own native states (Maryland), where slavery wore its mildest aspects, would disgrace the Dey of Algiers."—Dr. De Witt observed, "He was opposed to slavery, but if the Alliance should adopt a rule to exclude slaveholders, he, for one, would stand by the side of those at the south, who were groaning under the burden of slavery, and praying over it." And yet it was declared by Dr. Bond, the editor of the Christian Advocate, that though "He was a southern man, he knew no Christian at the south who testified against the laws forbidding slaves to be taught to read;" and he might have tidied, with great truth, nor against any other law of the southern states which contravenes the laws of God, whether it respects the parental relation, the marriage tie, or the Christian duties of slaves. As might be expected, Mr. Chaney's resolution was too strong, and a substitute for it was offered, which left the question untouched, concluding with a declaration that this was not to be " taken as evidence that any member of the Conference was favourable to the institu tion of slavery, or feels indifferent upon this subject, or that they can approve, sympathise, or mingle in Christian fellowship with those who are voluntary slaveholders for their own advantage." This was felt by many to be too weak; and, finally wearied out by the subject, the following declaration was adopted by a vote of 16 to 11:—" That while the Evangelical Alliance admits into it• bosom such persons only as are respectable members of evangelical churches, we are nevertheless persuaded that the great object of the association, the promotion of a larg& - Christian union, may be furthered by a (rabic expression of our sentiments on the subject of slavery. We, therefore, declare our deep, unrlterable opposition to this stupendous evil, and we hold it to be the duty of all men, by all wise and Christian means, to seek its entire extirpation and removal from the land. Still, the one object of the Alliance shall be steadily kept in view, which is the promotion of Christian union and brotherly love." It is believed an anti-slavery branch of the Evangelical Alliance will be formed in the United States. We shall be glad to hear that this is done. It ought to be set about immt diately.

The business of the bank is transacted in a room, fitted up for the purpose, attached to and communicating with the Museum recently erected in the High-street, and on Saturday evenings, as is generally the case at the first meeting atter the Whit- Sunday term, sums of money to a considerable amount passed through the hands of the actuaries and it is sup posed that the attempt at robbery was made under the impression that a considerable amcunt had accordingly been deposited in the premises, and that, if successful in obtaining access to them, a large booty would be obtained. From the proceedings of the depre dators, it is evident that they were well acquainted with the premises. They first endeavoured to effect an entrance to the bank by breaking through the roof, and with that view had raised a part of the lead which covers it; but finding this too difficult to accomplish, they proceeded to the west side of the Museum, and obtained access by breaking a pane of glass in one of the windows. The inner doors being all open. they got into the bank without further interruption. They then L-prod ede 't to rifle the drawers, and, to effect their purpose, procured a hand-saw, a knife, and several chisels from the keeper's workshop, also attached to and communicating with the Museum on the east sido, with which they forced open the drawers, and, in doing so, broke two or thrve of the chisels to pieces. Th.. dra , ers were, how ever, found to contain only a few printed forms, &c., of no value. They then attempted to orrak open the safe, but without effect ; and notwithstanding all their exertions and trouble, they only succeeded in obtaining about twenty shillings in silver , belong ing to the Museum, which had been left in en open press in the bank. It is remarkable that, considering the length of time in which the parties must have been occupied in the premises, and the noise with which heard opaations must have been at t e nded, no pe rson them. The keeper, who sl ee p s in a small roomin the tower, says that he was awoke abou - one o'Jock with the noise of footsteps. but after listening a short time and hearing nothing farther, he did not go down. No clue has as vet been obtained to lead to the detection of the guilty parties.- 1, lq:n Courant. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNK 11.—Prices have further given way this week, without however, bringing the buyers freely into the market, and the transactions since our last are merely for immediate. purposes ; the arrivals are heavy and the assortment large. In rum there is nothing doing, and purchases can be made on easier terms. The refined market continuos steady.— Bristol Mercury. JUNE 14, 1847. fallaßica SD. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. SOUTH LANCASHIRE. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—The active and energetic Jperations which the tree-traders of this district have now been carrying on for some weeks for the return of the Hon. C. P. Villiers, are likely to be brought to a sudden close by the retirement of Lord Brackley. This morning the following document from his Lordship him self made its appearance, and has caused quite a sensa• tion, although in fact it is but the result which most men looked for, but still few expected it so soon. It may be mentioned that Mr.Villiers'committee have been most active. It already numbers from 1,300 to 1,500 and was rapidly filling up to the required number of 2,000: " TO THE ELECTORS Ol SOUTH LANCASHIRE. • 2, Hamilton-place, June 10. " I ventured lately to address you in the character of a candidate for your suffrages at the approaching gene ral election. I address you now not to disclaim or to apologise for the motives which induced me to aspire to the honour of your service, but to announce the with drawal of my pretensions. Ido not feel myself, justified in endeaveuring to maintain, against the declared wishes and opinions of a considerable body of the constituency, pretensions which I cannot ground on past service or personal ability. " With feelings of sincere gratitude to those, neither few nor uninfluential, by whom my former address was received with acquiescence or approbation; with no feel ing towards others but the desire eventually to conciliate their better opinion, I respectfully acquaint you with the determination I have above announced,—l am your faithful and obedient servant, " BRACKLEY." TA 4 WORTH. FRIDAY EVENING.—Another address has been issued by Mr. William Peel. The Right Hon. Gentleman per sists in his resolution not to withdraw from the contest, although be says he has been requested so to do by a requisition signed by less than one fifth of the consti tuency. He expresses a hope that his brother will re ceive the support of every elector, and he concludes by saying, " I conscientiously believe it is the wish of a very large maiority of the electors that I should again represent you." Captain A'Court has not yet issued an address; but Captain Townahend, the old Liberal candi• date has; in it he declares that be will not come forward on this occasion. WINDSOR. All doubts as to the person who would offer himself to " the free and independent electors of Windsor" as the Government candidate at the ensuing election were et at rest yesterday evening by the i.suing of the ad dress of Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Ad miralty. His Lordship says—" As the Parliament will. in all probability, be dissolved at no very distant period, I beg moat respectfully to offer myself as a candidate for the honour of representing your ancient and distin guished borough at the approaching election." His ad dress concludes by stating that " he will take an early opportunity of personally waiting upon the electors, and of soliciting the honour of their support, when he shall be prepared to state his views on all those important questions which necessarily interest the public of this great country." Mr. Neville not having, as yet, issued any address to the electors, has led to a rumour that it is not his intention again to contest the representation of the borough, but that he intends (in the absence of any other candidate standing for the borough) to let Lord John Hay and Colonel Reid walk over the course. His friends, however, especially those wh.) brought him for ward in 1641, confidently state that he is fully deter mined, at all hazards, not only to be put in nomination, but to proceed to the poll. On the other hand, a coali tion has been spoken of between the Government candi date and Mr. Neville. There appears to be not the least foundation for this rumour. Colonel Reid's friends are equally sanguine with the friends of Mr. Neville. Lord John Hay's return (with the Government and Castle in terest) has been " booked" as certain. His Lordship's address is dated from the Admiralty. WALLINGFORD. An active canvass is being carried on. among the elec tors by Mr. Alfred Morrison, of Basildon Park, the new candidate for this borough. Committees in the several districts sit daily to promote that gentleman's return, and confident expectations are entertained of his dis placing the present sitting Member, Mr. W. S. Black stone. Mr. Morrison, in an address to the electors just issued, says—" Of the voters whose intentions I have been able to ascertain, a large and honourable majority have pledged me their support, and others I understand are so favourably disposed towards me, whilst so few comparatively have actually promised my honourable opponent, that I fully believe I shall become tke Mem ber of your choice, and the representative of your seal ments." BLACKBURN. Various unfounded rumours as to the representation of this borough at the next general election having been inserted in the columns of several of our contemporaries, London and provincial, we take this opportunity of stat ing, that with the exception of Sir William Feilden's resignation, and the determination of Mr. John Hornb) to offer himself again as a candidate, no other authentic information has yet been made public.—Bluchbtirn Standard. BRIGHTON. Lord Alfred Hervey and Captain G. It. Pechell, the present Members, have addressed the electors as candi dates for a renewal of past favours. A third candidate in the Radical interest, is Mr. William Coningham, of Sursex•square, Kemp-town, who comes forward in com pliance with a numerously sigre•l requisition. Lord A. Hervey, the Tory Member, was elected by a majority of two to one. GLASGOW. We have been requested to state, on the best autho rity, that Mr. thistle, the Lord Provost, will most cer tainly present himself to the electors as a canoida's, and that formal intimation of this will be given in due time. —Glasgow Chronicle. NORTH DURHAM. None of the candidates have yet commenced a perso nal canvass, but Mr. Shafto's agents in each polling dis trict are working in a quiet way to advance the interests of their candidate; and Mr. Shafto has addressed to each elector the fo llowing circular:— " Having offered myself as a car.didate for the northern division of the county ot Durham, I take the liberty ot soliciting the favour of your vote and interest. I shall take an early opportunity of paying my respects to every elector in the division ; and I hope, in the mean time; I may be excused for soliciting by letter a favour which is not in my power to ask in person at the present moment." It is now certain that Lord Seaham will not be a can• didate, and there are indications that the influence ot Lord Londonderry will be quiescent in the approaching struggle. Colonel Beckwith's party speak very confi dently of succesa, bat there is no apparent concert be tween the Liceral candidates, and a coalition is now con sidered barely possible. If each candidate stands a con test independent of rival interests, the struggle will be an arduous one in the present divided state of the Con servative party. DURHAM CITY. There will, in all probability, be a very animated con test for the city of Durham. Mr. Granger, the present Liberal Member, will be again a candidate, with the certainty of his election. Mr. Bright having some time ago intimated his intention to retire, Colonel Thomas Wood, now M.P. for Middlesex, and nephew of the Marquis of Londonderry, is to be the candidate in the Wynyard influence. His chance of success is doubtful, as the differences between the Conservatives and Lord Londonderry, arising out of the election of Mr. Bright, are not understood to be adjusted, and an influential party of Conservatives will not support any candidate brought forward in the Wynyard interest whilst past misunderstandings remain unsettled. If the Conserva tives could be brought to act with cordial union they could secure one seat. A second Liberal candidate in the person of Mr. Fawcett, of Durham, High Sheriff of the county, is expected to be in the field, and as he i 5 very popular in the city with the Liberal party, and has many private friends who will not oppose him on the score of politics, it is not improbable but he will beat a Peel Corservative, even under the powerful influence of Lord Londonderry. PORTSMOUTH. Two Tory candidates ate announced, Captain Camp. I bell, R.N., and Mr. William Jones. STAMFORD. A meeting of a number of electors was held at the George and Angel Inn on Wednesday, at which it woo, resolved to send a requisition to Mr. J. Rolt, Q.C., of the Chancery bar, soliciting him to become a candidate in the independent interest. From a statement made at the meeting, it is fully expected that the requisition will be accepted. It has been stated, from good autho rity, that the Marquis of Granby will again be a candi date ; the other nominee in the Burghley interest has not been mentioned. —Morning paper. NORTH CHESHIRE.

We hear that Mr. Maun,ell will not again come for. ward as a candidate for North Northamptonshire, and iL is definitely arras ged for Mr. Vernon Smith to solicit the suffrages on Liberal principles. It is said that the Conservatives have no objection to this arrangi.ment, provided Mr. A. S. O'Brien is unopposed; but many of the Whigs are confident that two Liberals may be re ' turned, viz., Mr. V. Smith and Mr. Jones Loyil, the eminent banker, who owns considerable property in this division of the county. Should both declare themselves candidates it is thought that Mr. O'Brien will retire rather than enter upon an expensive contest. PETERBOROUGH. (From the Cambridge Advertiser.) All is quiet respecting Peterborough. Sir R. Heron will retire, after twenty-five years' faithful service; and it is determined that Mr. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Cavendish will be the future representatives. DOVES ELECTION.—The candidates for the repre- W i Lt oency (though be has d. dared his readiness to sit if - elected) ; but, from the strong feeling manifested in his favour, his non-appearance in the canvassing arena will be amply made up by the t zertions of his friends, whose canvass in his behalf far exceeds their most sanguine expectations. The Prinsep faction are finding their canvass tremendou s u p hill wo r k ; but we undrstand that, by the aid of certain appliances, they expect yet to make head-way. They will, however, we guess, have their work to do; for, as we said last week, Sir John's free trade policy has obtained for him the support of a large number of these who were formerly his opponents, and from this circumstance, as well as the exertions of his Conservative friends, to all present appearances it seems that there will be no change in the representation of Dover at the approaching election.—Dover Chronicle. DEAL ELECTION.—As we stated last week, Lord Clinton, son of the do-what-tie-likes-% ith-his•own. Duke, has appeared as a "No Popery " candidate against the two Liberals, Lord Paget and Mr. Grenfell, but it is not fur a moment supposed that he has the slightest chance of success. Lord Clinton has trimmed his sails according to the wind; but although a few mis= guided persons may be caught by the hypocritical manoeuvre, no true Protestant Dissenters can possibly so far forget themselves as to follow in his wake, which would most inevitably lead them back to the shoals and quicksands of High Church oppression and ascendancy. Both Liberals ha,‘ e expressed their satisfaction at the result of their canvass, which we have reason to believe has been extremely favourable.--.Thid. THE POTATO DISEASE. The reports from Ireland continue to hold out favour able hopes for the forthcoming crisp. We give the lowing resume of intelligence from various parts of the country: -- DUBLIN. JUNE 9.—There is so much diversity of opi nion as to the actual state of the potato crop, that infer (nation of an official and authentic character is greatly to be desired. We are happy that it is now in our power to supply such, and from a part of the country—the county of Waterford—where the disease has been represented as very prevalent and destructive. The inspector of drainage under the Board of Public Works, in the barony of Coshmore and Cosbbridge, in that count•, has addressed the following letter to the Dublin Evening Posit : "Lismore, June S. n "Sir,—Herewith I send you extracts from my reports on the subject of the potato crop, which yon can use as you think proper. You will see froth the extract front the general report in March, that I was averse to ex tensive cultivation ; but every day coberists me in nil opinion that we are likely to ha►e a proli6ocrop.—lam, sir, your very obedient servant, " H. HUTCHINSON. •" Extracts from the Reports of Henry Hutchinson, In spector of Drainage for the Barony of Coshmore and Coihbridge, County of Waterford, from the 15th day of March to the sth of June inclusive:— " Extract from the General Rpp..rt ordered the 28th March, 18.0. " There is a considerable quantity of potatoes planted throughout the barony, in pieces of from one to five and six acres, and I have seen more potatoes within the last month than I saw in the six preceding months, clearly showing that the seed has been saved in spite of the general failure ; and in many instances where the lands have not been dug and are opened now, the seed, though small, comes but with fresh sprouts and sound. This is almost a matter of regret, as I am afraid, if successful, it will be the means of keeping them in their former habits, and also prevent a greater breadth of other roots being cultivated. _ _ " VVeek ending March 20. --I have also to report upon a large quantity of potatoes being planted in various parts of the barony, and of the discovery of seed po tatoes amongst the farmers, where a few weeks ago I suppose no such thing as a potato was to be found. " April 10.— Potato planting still goes on rapidly in the barony. _ . " April 24.—The wheat and oats are looking remark ably well, and potato planting goes on at a rate that is truly surprising. lam clearly of opinion that scores who appeared to possess none have been sowing the seed, and in some cases it is now making its appearance. " May I.—Potato planting still goes on in every quarter to a considerable extent, and those which I have examined appear to be doing very well. " May 16.—The potatoes which are coming up are looking well. " May 22.—Setting aside the damage, by continued rain, the crops of all descriptions have improved wonder fully. Everything is looking well, particularly the potatoes, which are getting over ground. " May 29.—The whole of the crops look exceedingly well ; particularly the potatoes, which, in some cases, are up from eight inches to a foot over ground—their general appearance very healthy. Pota...oes are looking well through the entire barony, strong and vigorous, and there is not the slightest appearance of disease in any Part. A few patches in exposed situations were caught by the sharp winds and frosty nights, ao as to curl the leaf, which is not unusual. Generally speaking, the whole are in excellent condition. I have nut a doubt of their arriving at full maturity." " Extract from the 14-port of Thomas Waters, Sub-In spector of Drainage in Templemichael, &c., for the Week ending sth of June, 1847. " On my inspection of the different drainage works, I find that the potato crop at the present time looks most healthful, and, from inquiries through the farmers, they say the crop never looked better at this time of the year (so say they), strong and vigorous in the stem. There are many farmers now regrrttinz that they had not planted much more, now that the crop is looking on well; also the wheat, a prolific crop; the bete, or, as they call it here, here bsrley, shot out in many parts of the country, a very fine crop indeed; the oats also doing very well." The barony to which those returns refer is tensed " the garden of the county of Waterford," being tar the finest and riches land in that county. Of all kinds of crops those official rep..rts, which are probably b) this time in the hands or the Government. give a most gra tifying account. But it would not, we fear. be safe to place full reliance upon the potato crop. notwithstanding, unquestionable evidence of disease has been ascer tained in various quarters. A gentleman of the sfreatest respectability, residing at the north aide of Dublin, examined his potato fields this morning, i n consequence of the circular from the Royal Agricultural •ioeietv, and, although t ey exhibited a most luxuriant appearance, he found, on close examination, that the stalk between the root and the surtace of the ground was marked by diseased spots. This gentleman has adopted the advice of the society, by dibbling turnip seed into the beds. We have also learned that the disease has certainly ap peared amongst the p‘ ts:oes in the county of Wicklow; and that some farmers have come into Dublin, to acquaint their landlords with the fact. From most of the ocher counties, the reports of the potato crop are still favourable, and all accounts agree that the grain and green crops promise great abundance. But from the counties of Cork and Carlow there are accounts this morning that the potato crop is certainly infected. COUNTY Or CARLOW,—Leigblin bridge, June B. The plague has made its appearance in this our hood, but by no means so extensive as the reports from Carlow might lead us to imagine. So far es: our ob servation goes, the advice of ploughing them out, and substituting some other crop, is, to say the least, we think, premature. There has been a fair extent of land put under parsnips last spring here, but whether from the first attempt at their culture or old seed, many have to complain of failure. The grain crops are looking beau tifully, wheat particularly so, and with a continuance of hot weather will be harvested much sooner than was at an earlier period of the season anticipated. The turnip sowing, when finished, will be unusually extensive; it is feared too much so in very many instances with small land holders, who will not be able to procure stock for their consumption. COUNTY OF KILKENNY.—The Kilkenny Journal of June 9 contains no reference to the potato crop in that county. PROVINCE OF ULSTER.—The Banner of Ulster of Tuesday thus reports on the state of the potato crop in the northern province:— " From all we can learn—from public newspapers and private correspondence—we are inclined to view the matter, in any event, as greatly exaggerated. It may not be out of place here to remind the people that in 1839 and 1840 the ' miss' of potatoes was little less damaging than the disease of last year. Our correspon dence, without an exception, in the north. represents the potatoes as free trom infection in the stalk, and those which have produced good-sized tubers, to be perfectly sound. From the north of the county Down we are in formed that crops of all kinds, potatoes included, look remarkably well and healthy, with the exception of flax.' From other counties in the province we have accounts not varying an atom in character, and all of them highly favourable. COUNTY or Cones—The Cork Constitution of Tuesday contains thefollowing :— " Very forward specimens of the growing crops, giving every promise of an abundant and early harvest, have been sent to this office ; amongst them some bore barley, well advanced, tour feet in height from the root. The appearance of the potato crop in the division of Donoughe more is, up to the present moment, most encouraging to the farmers, who have speculated upon s healthy crop this year ; and though the quantity of land under pota toes bears but a small proportion to that occupied by this esculent in former years (probably not more than two acres upon the average of the farms in the country, and the labourers have discontinued to set any). tt considerable quantity of potatoes is planted, in various stages of maturity, and all without the slightest appearance of failure. A quantity of seed which failed upon one gentleman last year is now promising an abundant and healthy crop. " Woodfort, Bandon, June 5.—1 this day saw dfig, and eat of, a very fine sample of quarry potatoes, with out any appearance of disease, grown in the garden of J. B. Warren, Esq. They were planted the 26th of September. 1846, and manured with decomposed leaves. As Mr. Warren has tried every experiment recom mended by the best authorities, and panted them from to the pro sent time, at regular intervals of a up uech of which are growing vigorously and tnatdatefortnight, well, it leaves room for hope that this dispensation of Providence may be lessened this year, and give us abund ance again in this unfortunate country.
