DIONEY a DIARKET AND COMIVIERCIAL INTELLIGENCF. CITY, Two o'CLooK. L etters from Liverpool mention that the Cot ton Market y es t er d ay closed qu i e tl y , b u t a t the extreme , ate s of last week. The sales were estimated at 'MO bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters. The R a ilway Share Market exhibite d a quiet appearance, but a moderate business was wan m e t ed The re Eldora Was a meeting held yesterday of the ere of Messrs P. Sinanedes and Company. The pa rties present expres:.,ed an opinion in fa vour of Winding up the estate under inspection , in prefe rence to a resort to the Bankruptcy Court. Ulti mately au adjournment for three we - ks w as a g reed to for the purpose of receiving further i nformation Apr a A lexandria, respecting the debt of P. H. stated that the total liabilities to creditors, secured sad b uneflonred, amounted to 36,5 411 . 7 s. 3d. ; and doubtful debts consisting of cash in h and, bad and & ,ful debts, &c. &e., were estimated at 25 , 0761 . ; leaving a deficiency of 11,4651. 2s. 6d. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather flatter, and very little business was trans acted, A. ..at fu 1-4 , Ler supply of gold has arrived by the Blaautrall, and as s everal other ships are ex p ected daring the next week or two, the general stock of " Precious metals is likely to be materially ang tient.A ' - u• The quantity brought by the Blackwell is 80,648 1 / 4 , ounces, or about 322,5921., and among the rill which are next expected ar e the Derwent, Admiral, the Orwell, the Aust ral, the George Marshall, and the Royal Charter. The aggregate C° lll 4 to be received, therefore, is likely to far in excess of the quantity required for len- ages of silver, but as a proof that the abs orption on that account is still Tel' Y active, it may be mentioned that the whole of the remittance by the Mermaid has already been taken for shipment to France. An active demand continues to prevail for dis eennts, and high rates are paid for the required ac commodation. Prom: a Parliamentary paper just issued it ap - Pears that the amount of Exchequer Bills raised fer the supplies of 1857, out-standing on the let. Inst., was 21,049,7001. A meeting of the Lynvi Vale Railway Company Vas held to-day, but it was said to be of a private c haracter. There has been a Very heavy market to-da y for t _,nglish- Securities, although the movement in prices has not exceeded per cent. Some weak ness was occasioned by the announcement that all the r i d by the Mermaid had been sent abroad, but sub 7questly the arrival of the Blackwell with a further supply led to rather more firmness. Still, however, busin ess i s remar k a bly dull, and no reviv al of spe culation is looked for at present. C A -sols Inve bee n V /3 1 1, and 93 for m one y , and 931 for the account.lt.

No communica- 10 tier! whatever, either direct or indirect, has passed be- 2 0 2 tween her Majesty's Government and myself on t he sub -05 ject of China. There is not, in fact, a worn o f truth in the rumour to which you have given currency, and I 20 tritst, therefore, you will have no objection to publish 20 in your next number this, my unqualified contradiction 33 , of it." 10 Tux LATE SNOW STORM.—Mr. J.

STEAM VESSELS. Mr. T. BARING moved for a return, in a tabular form, with consecutive numbers, of the whole of the steam-vessels registered in the United Kingdom on or before the Ist day of January, 1857 ; stating, in separate cclomns, the following particulars ;—Vessels' Names ; 2. Port of Registry ; 3. Date of Build ; 4. Registered Owners; 6. Ditoensions of Vessels in Length and Breadth, and Depth of Hold ; 6 . Tonnage (ex. elusive of enoine room) and Gross Tonnage, dis tinguishing vessels built of iron and also vessels baying screw propellers ; 7. Estimated horse power of their engines, and giving the aggregate number of vessels and amount of tonnage ; with an index for easy reference attached to it, giving the names of the vessels iii alpha betical order, with numbers to each, corresponding with those in the return (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 473, of session 1855). Agreed to. . . KOORIA MOORIA ISLANDS. Sir J. DUKE moved an address for copies or extracts of correspondence I,latinv to the cesF•ion of the K. oria Mooria Island , to Great Britain by the Imaum of Mu:- cat, arid to the grant of a hc , nce from the Crown to John 01,1, of Li!.herland, near Liv,rp in !, i n the county of Lancaster, late ma-ter inaiiiier, and Joseph Hind,on and James Henshall Hayes, hots of Liverpool aforesaid, merchants and brokers, to take the guano on those.. Agreed to. TURNPIKE TRU6TS ABOLITION (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS BILL. On the motion of the Marqui•: of BLAN DFO RI). after some remarks from Mr. E. DENISON arid Mr. WALPOLE, the order of the day for the second reading of the Eccl.-,i -astical Corporations Bill was read and discharged. T • object of the bill was to make better provision for the parochial wants of the various dioceses throughout the country. His lordship expressed a hope t'aat the new Parliament would entertain the subject on an early day. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT, &0., BILL. Mr. A. PELLATr rose to move the second reading of this bill. Sir G. GREY expressed a hope that the hon. member would not proceed this session with this very important bill. Mr. A. PELLATT said he moved the second of the bill to show the country and the persons ho repre sented that it was not his fault that the bill was not proceeded with. The object of the bill was to punish only fraudulent cans of debt, and not those who were comparatively innocent, from misfortune or from adverse circumstances over which they had no control, or where no fraud was committed by a person contracting a debt he was unable to pay. A man should not be imprisoned for what %vas a misfortune. Thousands of persons were committed not because they would not pay their dab's, but because they could not pay them.. Under the County Court Act committals were greatly on the increase, and it was lamentable to think bow much distress was occa sioned by the heads of poor families being locked up for debt, and thereby being prevented from supporting their families. By the criminal law imprisonment got rid of a debt such as a fine, but not so with the civil law. There were many instances of men having been impri soned four or five times for the same debt. In reference to the Insolvent Court, the hon. member said that no man ever got a pecuniary benefit from putting a man in prison for debt, and he doubted if any creditor had ever got a dividend from an Insolvent Court. He moved the second reading of the bill for the sake of the debate. Sir G. GREY said it was inexpedient for the house at that period of the session, to enter into a debate with out any practical result being likely to follow from it. He hoped the hon. member would withdraw his motion, and that the house, acting on the general rule adopted with bills of importance under such circumstances, and refuse the second reading. After some remarks from Mr. COBEBTT and Mr. WHITESIDE, The second reading of the bill was negatived without a division. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) ACT (1836) AMENDMENT BILL. The order of the day tor the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. SUPPLY. The house then went into C,lninittee of Supply. The following of Exchequer ,wingvtte wasag Braetilat: payable--:2l,0 in 1857 a :_21,019.7001. for the discharge t present unprovided tor. On the vote of 1,653,2001 for :he charges of certain civil services till 31st Marco, 1858, including the educa tional grants. Sir J. PAKINGTON protested against their increase, and said that a bill such as that he had proposed would greatly reduce them. The country did not get the ade quate return from these grants they ought to obtain. Sir G. GREY def'nded the vote, in the course of which he said he differed entirely from the right hon. Bart., and he hoped the subject would be fully discussed in the new Parliament. Mr. HENLEY agreed with the Home Secretary that the educational grants had been of great advantage to the country. Mr. E. DENISON hoped that in the next Parlia ment the Government would state their views on the question of education. They must look to the increase of these grants rather than to an improved system of education. Sir G. GREY said that in the new Parliament -thee Tice-President of the Council would make such a state ment. After some remarks from Mr. Evart, Sir J. niacin ton, Mr. Pellatt, and Sir 11. Willoughby, Mr. SPOONER asked if the vote included a suns for the Kensington Gore estate ? • Mr. WILSON said no, and explained that all tho votes were for continuous services for the ensuing: three months. Nothing new had been introduced into them. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of 1,610,0001. for the Revenue Depart:- meet, Mr. WILSON remarked that the home must expect; a gradual and considerable annual increase in this de partment, for during the past 10 years our ahippin g trade had doubled, and was still rapidly increasing. The Post-office could not be looked upon as a source of profit. The vote was agreed to, and the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be read to-morrow. • INCOME TAX BILL. This bill was considered as amended, and ordered Vo be read a third time to-morrow. EXTRA PAROCHIAL PLACES BILL. _ This bill was considered as amended, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

There has been a better demand also for certain qualities of T-cloths, longcloths, and print ers, at full prices. In other kinds there is no change to notice since our lest report, the market generally being quiet, but prices firm." MesFre. G.

India shirtings at last week's prices, but the heavier makes are inactive, end this is the case generally in other departments of our market for piece goods. Prices are partially a little weaker." NOTTINGHAM, IVlAncri 10. The lace trade is a shade improved. The season, how ever, is a late one, inasmuch as at this period of the year manufacturers are usually very busy. There are some foreign orders in the market, and goods are being pro. duced for borne consumption. For coarse plain articles there continues a good demand, and the prices which these goods obtain is enormous. The operatives con nected with the lace branch are exceedingly well em ployed. There is not much doing as yet in silk lace, in consequence of the dearness of the material. In hosiery there is a good business doing. Orders are in course of completion forth() American ,market, and there is a fair demand for goods for home consumption. Stocks are, however, kept down, our manufacturers, for the most part, being averse to making more than is re quired at the present time. - LEICESTER, NAHCFI 10. There is very little doing in any description of goods, except cotton articles for the spring trade. In conse quence of the high price of materials manufacturers are exceedingly cautious, and stocks are all kept down. In worsted yarns there is no alteration in nrico. LEEDS, MARCH 10 There is no material difference in the state of the wo , llen cloth trade of this district since our last repot , . The cloth-halls this morning have cxhibiteda very quiet aspect. The at•tendar.ce of buyers has been small, and the transactions have been withi❑ a very moderate c pass. The closene-s of the general election, no doubt contributes to produce this temporary suspension of ac tivity, and it is also pat tiAlly occasioned by the state of the wool-market and in consequence of the stocks in the halls being very much reduced. Orders *re never theless not so numerous or extensive as the y have l it tetly been, but there does not appear to be any reason for apprehension as to the stability of the tra:e or its prospects during the ensuing spring and summer months.

MADAME TIISBAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the many pleasing subjects exhibited here, both in groups as well as single figure, perhaps there is none for beauty of ap pearanc• and life-like ,form as the figures which repre sent the present Emperor and Empress of Austria. The Emperor is irepresented in the uniform of on Austrian General, and her Majesty, the Empress, in a splendid court dress ; both figures are admirably constructed, and are highly creditable to the artists for the talent die- played. in formation. The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter dam produce-markets mention that, al , bough business was limited, prices continued to be well supported. In sugar and coffee operations had been restricted through the late rise, and holders showed much firmness. A fur ther slight advance had taken place in tea, but the in quiry for cotton and leather was less animated. The letters from Rouen speak of a more active demand in the market for manufactures, but rates are sell in some cases unrerennerative, owing to the high value of the raw material. The prospectus has been issued of the Bon Accord Mining Company, with a capital of 75,0001., in 1/. shares. The Bon Accord Mining ground comprises 347 acres, adjoining the well known Burra Barra, and is at present the property of the Scottish Australian I n vestment, and the North British Australasian Companies, from whom it is proposed to be purchased for 24,000/..and a royalty of 5 per cent. of the• ore reised. It has long been be lieved that the principal veins of the Burra Burrs pass across the Bon Accord, but that they lie deep, and can not be tested without steam power. TRH BURGLARY AT SLADE HOOTON.—A reward of 1001. has been offered-5 01 . by Government, 251: by the Rotherham Association for the Prosecution of Felons, and 251. by Mr. Hall—for the apprehension and con viction of the persons who burglariously entered the house of the latter at Slade Hooting, near Doncaster, on the 26th ult., and stole therefrom about 601. in money, with numerous articles of plate, &c., at.d severely mal treated Mr. Hall by striking him on the head with a bludgeon, leaving him senseless. Last week two men were apprehended at Sheffield on suspicion of being con cerned in the robbery, but Mr. Hall not being able to identify either of them, they were discharged. PRUSSIAN CUSTOM-HOUSE REGULATIONS. —ln con sequence of a representation from her Majesty's Govern went, the Prussian Government has uinsented to a modification of a part of its Custom-house regulations, which will remove an impediment to the trade with Prussia. Hitherto it bas been required that masters of vessels make a declaration of the quantity and quality of the cargo of vessels arriving in Prue ian ports—a re quest difficult, and at times impossible to be complied with ; but, upon a representation to Berlin of the incon venience arising to commerce from thi. requirement, Baron Manteufiel, in his reply to the Foreign-office, observes that, " while it is incompatib'e with the regulations of the Zollverein States to aholith the requirement, yet, in future. mnsters of those ateamnere which regularly frequent Prussian ports will be provi sionally exempt from such declaration ; but to sailing vessels it is impossible to extend the same privileges, : arising from the insufficient 'Amber of Cuitoni-house officers at the outporte, 96 5 , 1 61 854 1 7 12S 10J _ 63i 1011 1 i 6i 103 i 104 f 541 2# t 104 t 1 1 4 361 1 i 811 a Ii 541 56i 7 46 5i 85 4} 20 181 i 18 74 1 3i 41 10k I I Si 51 6 1 40 18 3 / 4 18. 32 3 / 4 31 3 / 4 47 6 41 lgi i i 60 90 x4l 1011 2 10 2i 67/ 81 ELECTION INT P.T.LIOENCE.

At the general meeting of the London Liberal Regt,tration Assooiatiou, held y. sterday, at the London Tavern (from which the representatives of the press were exclude i) the announcement (Jf the retirement from the representation of the , city of Lord John Russel and Mr. Ma , terman was made and received with a cold and most significant si!e!ice. • The nomination of Sir J. Duke was also coley renewed, and the stleno , was only hre•ken by Mr. Ald?r,nanlomons and Mr. J. A. Hankey, both wh fin urged string obj ,ns to the ion. baf o net'S returi., among ojter subj•-c - s, on the ground of h a haying nit-11y withheld and refits• d his sup port to the Liberal candidate f. r Ea , t Sus-ex, Mr. Dodson. The nomination was afterwrirds assented to amid strong manifestations of adverse feeling on the p the meeting. . • The I omina'ion of Baron Rothschild was agreed to tin inimously, and woid much applause. The name of kr. R. W. Crawford was also given as a fit and proper person to represent the City of London in Parliament, and was received with much approbation and adopted unanimously. Mr. ilaikes Currie, the present member for Northampton, was proposed as the fourth member. Mr. Raikes Carrie, in reply, tendered his acknow ledgments to the meeting for the honour conferred upon him, but could not break off, on so short a notice, his co it nection with his present constituency, which had subsisted for more than 20 years. He solicited the indulgence of the meeting to allow him 48 hours for consideration. Upon this it was moved that the meeting be adjourned to some future day. After some discussion, it was even tually agreed that the meeting should be adjourned to Tuesday next to hear the final determination of Mr: Currie, and also to afford Sir James Dlike an opportunity of explaining, if he could, his conduct in reference to the late Sussex election. The meet ing was accordingly adjourned. AYLESBURY. —Mr. Layard has been to visit his, constituents, but in consequence of the all but una nimous dissatisfaction expressed at his vote against Lord Palmerston, he is sot likely to contest the borough. • . ASHBURTON. —lt is not probable that there will be any contest here, and Mr. Moffatt will be elect ed, it is thought, without opposition. BRIGHTON. —Both the present representatives, Admiral Sir G. B. Pechell and Lord A. Harvey, will, it is expected, offer themselves for re-election, bid a cont?st will take place chiefly in opposition to the return of the latter Conservative member, who voted in the majority against the Government on the China question. Mr. E. S. Crea-y, the barrister, and Professor at University College, Lond,n, %rho is a native of Brighton, intends 13-Ing a candidate at th- , coming election. Mr. William Coningham, of Kemp-town, Brighton, has also an nounced-his intention of (del lug himself as a can didate on Liberal principles. CAMBRIDGE. Mowatt does not intend to offer hitmelf for Ca.mbiidge. CANTERBURY. —Mr. C. Purpon Cooper, Q. C. , a Liberal, issued an address. Sir Wm. Somer ville is also in the field on the Liberal interest, and Mr. C. M. Lushington, a liberal Constrvative will ag 4in come forward. The last gen‘lem -, n will be supported by a large number of the Liberal elec tors. . CHATHAM.—Mr. G. W. Romaine, C. 8., who Ills been brought forward by the Liberal party in this borough, is the drily candidate at present be ,re the elector,, Captain L. Y. Vernon, the pre s-nt Conservative member, not intending to offer mself for re-election. COVENTRY.—Sir Joseph Paxton offers himself again for this borough. In his address to the electors he denies that he had any intention of factiously opposing the Government by voting for Mr. Col , d , n s motion. DARTM•UTH.—An address to the Chairman of the propos- d Dartmouth Railway, Mr. Charles Seale Rayne, has been numerously signed, asking that gentleman to come forward as a caudidare ; and Mr. Johnstone Neale (Liberal), wl.o resides in the neighbourhood, issued au address, in which he presented himself to the electors as a candidate. At a public m- 'ting, however, it was stated that Mr. Lindsay, M.P. for Tynemouth, who has pre viously contested the borough, and who has made the port a packet station, would support the pre sent member Sir Thomas Herbert; upon which Mr. Neale expressed his determination to with draw, and the friends of Mr. Hayno agreed to with draw their candidate in order to avoid a contest. This result, however, has given much umbrage to some of the Liberal electors, and the matter is not likely to end there. DEVONPORT.—On Monday evening Sir Erskine Perry, M.P. for Devonport, addressed a large meeting of his constituents at the Mechanics' Insti tute. His speech was confined chiefly to the China question and the reasons by which he was actuated in giving his support to Mr. Cobden's motion, and the consequent defeat of Ministers. At the close of Sir Erskine's speech the following resolution was submitted : "That the vote given by Sir T. B. Perry on the Chinese question is not in accordance with the feelings and opinions of the Liberal electors of this borough, who have every confidence in the ability, uprightness, and integrity of Lord Palmerston and his Government." A scene of great confusion followed, and at length, after two or three influential gentlemen had spoken against Sir Erskine, it was decided not to press the resolution until the hon. gentleman had explained himself to the electors of Stonebouse, whom he in tended addressing on the following evening. EXETER.—The present members are Mr. Divett (Liberal) and Sir J. T. B. Duckworth (Conserva tive). Some of the Conservative party are said to be dissatisfied with their member, and there is a talk of bringing forward Mr. Richard Sommers Gard, of Rougemont, who is a gendemen of con siderable property, and who, by reason of the libe ral support he has given to the trade of the city, has made himself rather popular. The hon. gen tleman once contested Honiton, but was defeated. FINSBURY.—Besides Sergeant Parry, Major Reed and Mr. W. Cox are candidates fur the vacant seat. - _ . . Neate, M.A., Senior Fellow of Oriel Cc'lege, will Ichlres a public nie!.tine: in the Town-hill t) is ns-lf in opi• ,, siti,:n to Mr. FROME.—There will again be a severe contest for this b wough, Mr. Donald Nicoll, of Park-lane, having already issued his address. GREENWICH.— Lieutenant-General Codrington and Mr. M. Chambers, Q C., will again offer them selves for re.election. HEREFORDSHIRE —lt is understood that an at tempt will be made by the Liberal party to obt'dn a share of the repreeentation of the county at the dis4,,lution. - KENT.—For West Sent the Conservative candi date is Mr. W. Mast , rs Smith, one of the sitting members, and it is tuinotired that Mr. H. Hoare, the well-known London banker, or Mr. Sto Hart Douglass,_ formerly for a short time member for Rochester, will he invited by the Conservatives to stand. The Liberal candidates will be Mr. C. Wykebam Martin, the sitting member, who was re turned after a severe contest at the beginning of last month, and Mr. Whatman, one of the present members for Maidstone. In East Sent it is under stood that the Conservatives will again bring for ward Mr. Deedel, who is not likely to be opposed. It appears to be doubtful, however, whether Sir E. Derieg will again be nominated. KIDDERMINSTER.—Mr. Lowe has arrived. here, and offers himself for re-election. LINCOLNSHIRE.—Under this headyesterday it was stated that the Right Hon. R. C. N. Hamilton, who retires from the northern division, wool pro bably be returned for one of the Scotch burghs. Mr. Hamilton, we understand, does not intend to solicit the suffrages of any borough constituency whatever. LIVERPOOL—The Liberal leaders here have de termined to pursue a more judicious policy than that announced by the Conservatives at the ap proaching election. They do not object to the re election of Mr. Horsfall. Indeed they are favour able to his return ; and at the meeting of the Re form Association yesterday they decided not to oppose him. Mr. J. C. Ewart was declared to be a fit and proper person to represent the borough, and he will receive the concentrated support of the Liberal party, which has latterly increased con siderably in strength, with the assistance of a large section of the Conservatives, who were so decidedly opposed to the nomination of Mr. Charles Turner that a serious split has been caused in the Tory camp. They are well content that the representa tion of the town should be thus divided, and the result of the election will no doubt be the return of Mr. Horsfall and Mr. J. C. Evart, and the de feat of Mr. Turner. --- 9 .Y1 will ra MAIDSTONE —Mr. Lee, one of the sitting be Ta tm an , bars and Mr. Humphrey Milrie, . nated ' on the Liberal interest.

His lordship states in his address that he will support Lord Pa!merstou's Government. OLDHAM. —There is now no doubt that Mr. Jas.

Baring, Bart., who has beeyears, or returned by th e Lib erals fur 30 or thereabouts, has given serio us o ff ence to sortie of his oldest supporters by voting for Mr. Cobden's motion. L'tri Mottck will meet his friends this (Wednesday) eveni-g at Ports a. and Sir Francis Baring has cit cmated a letter explanatory of his po licy, which has been given to the public through the hands of Lid chairman, Captain Evlegh. In the letter . the Right Hon. Baronet defends the course he took upon the motion which defeated the Minis try in these terms : " I will resume very shortly the opinion to which r came after a careful and earnest consideration of the papers. That by law the Arrow was net a British ves sel, and not entitled to fly the English flag ; that there was no proof of premeditated insult on the part of the Chinese authorities ; that there was no proof in the papers of any series of insults offered by the Chinese Government. I had no choice left, and deliberately, and as if I had been in the jury -box, I gave my vote that the papers laid upon the table failed to establish satisfactory grounds for the violent measures resorted to at Canton on the late affair of the Arrow." This circular of Sir Francis, which is a very lengthy one, has not tended to improve the impression made by his vote. PLYMOUTH.—A meeting of Liberal electors took place at Plymouth on Monday afternoon, Mr. Thomas Were Fox in the chair, when it was re solved—" That a cordial union of the Liberal elec tors is essential to secure the election of two fit re presentatives of the borough in Parliament ;" and " that a committee of 30 electors of all sections of Liberals be appointed to invite competent persons to address the electors in reference to the repre sentation." Some of the prominent speakers who supported Mr. Palmer at the last election expressed their determination to oppose him now, and to carry out the intention of the meeting by sending to Parliament a more suitable colleague for Mr. Collier. Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon Mr. Palmer issued an address, stating that it was not his lire= ton to offer himself tor re-election. ROCHESTER. —Mr P. W. Martin, one of the pre sent members for this city, will again be brought forward by the Liberal party, in . conjunction with Mr. Sereeaot Kinglake, the Recorder of Bristo Mr. Sergeant Kinglatte is in favour of an extension of the cuff, a e, of the abolition of church-rates, and als advocates the adoption of vote by ballot. Mr. Martin voted in' he minority against Mr. Cobden's motion. SALISBURY (CITY). —We cannot learn that any change is intendei, but there are four candidates for Devizes. SrNDERLAND. —ln anticipation that Mr. Hudson will not present liimself for re-election, Mr. R. Hoare, of the firm of Hoare, Buxton, and Co., merchants, London, has issued an address to the electors cf Sunderland, announcing himself as a candidate on the Liberal interest. Mr. Hudson's friends, however, affirm that he will again stand, and that he may ba expected in the town iu a few days. TAUNTON. —The Right Bon. H. Labouchere will again offer himself for this borough, which he has so worthily repre-ented for many years. Sir John ' Ramaden will not come forward for Taunton, but it is said wll se k the representatiOn of the West Riding, in opp( sition to Mr. Cobden, or probably stand for the borough of Huddersfield, where he has considerable property. The Conservatives will bring forward Mr. Arthur Mills, who was elected in 1852, and unseated on petition for bribery. The Liberals have secured a candidate to contest the second seat for this town. TIVERTON. This borough i 3 in an unusual state of excitement in the prospect of a dissolution of Parliament. Lord Palmerston has declined the invitation to stand for the city of London, although, doubtless in anticipation of his accepting the prof fered honour, an address to the electors of Tiver ton has been issued, requesting them to withhold their pledges until it was ascertained who would solicit their suffrages. The noble Viscount re mains true to his Tiverton constituency, and any attempt to oppose here would be futile. His col league, Mr. Heathcoat, is expected to retire, cor , the dissolution, from Parliamentary life, owing to increased age and infirmity. TYNESIOUTH.-14..W. S. Lindsay has issued an address in defence of his vote on the China ques tion. The party with whom Mr. Lindsay went into the lobby, the Derhyites, are not acting very graciously towards the hon. member, for, taking advantage of the division in the Liberal ranks, they . are attempting to organi se a f orm id a bl e oppo siqoa to unseat him. We understand that the leaders of the party had a meeting with Mr. Hugh Taylor.on Saturday, and that that gentleman con sented to become a candidate, provided a respect ably signed requisition was presented to him. WAREHAM.—There are three candidates in the field for the representation of this borough—Mr. Max, the sitting member, a Derbyite, and Colonel Barton, his son in-law, will offer themselves on the Conservative interest ; Mr. John Hales Calcraft, Liberal, who formerly represented Wareham, has commenced an active canvass as a supporter of the Palmerston Government. WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Westert en, the churchwar den of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, the promoter of the suit against the Hon and Rev. R. Liddell, the hicumben , of St. Paul and St. Barnabas, having been asked to become a candidate for the represen tation of the city of Westminster in Parliament, has consented to be put in nomination on condition that a requi,it ion be presented to him sufficiently numerously signed to make his return probable. Mr. Westerton, in reply to the solicitation of his friends, has stated that the principles he wishes to see affirmed by the electors of Westminster and o• her places is to select from among themselves men of known character and principle, and then to re turn them free of expense. He expresses an opin ion that so long as they allow themselves to have candidates thrust upon them of whom they know little or nothing, and whose chief qualification is that they will spend a certain sum of money, so long must they look in vain for anything from the House of Commons hut a reflex of their own apathy, corruption, and want of principle. BRADFORD.—A meeting of the electors was held on Monday night, when it was resolved to bring out Major-General Thompson and Mr. Titus Salt. There is no doubt that Mr. Wickham, one of the present members, will also he nominated, and re ceive the support of a large number of the Liberal party. WILTS (Soirrn).—Mr. Sydney Herbert, Mr. Wyndham, and Lord Henry Thyn t e are canvass ing for this division of the county, and it is ex pected that the contest will be a very severe one. REIGATE.—There are two Liberal candidates for this borough. The one Mr. Hackblock, who is a resident, a well-known and independent Liberal, and Colonel Parrott, who, in a few years, has suc ceeded in alienating so large a number of his party that be has lost all hope of success—indeed some of his leading supporters have been canvassing for votes for a Tory candidate. SCOTLAND. ABERDEEN. —Mr. Thompson, the member for Aberdeen, has intimated his intention to retire from the representation of that city. Mr. John Farley Leith, barrister, of London, and Professor of Law in Haileybury College, is a candidate for the vacant meat. CLACKKANNAN AND KINROSS . --Mr. J. Johnstone, the member for these counties, announces his ' motion in tention to seek a renewal o f th e confidence of his constituents. His supp or t o f M r. Cobden's has, along with other vo t es, created considerable opposition, so that it i s very likely his re-election may be challenged. Mr. Adam, jun., of Blairadam, who contested the representation with Mr. John stone in 1851, is spoken of with more probability of his coming forward. FIFESHIRE. —ln. this county (says the ' the present Liberal member, somewhat contrary erstood expectation, will offer again ; but it vs , so is n of the late that Mr. Hay Wemyss, of Weni t ai:e of the county, Scotsman) AdmiralWemyss, long representative Liberal principles. also intends to come forweard Th Hon.
