Wherever a Liberal candidate has appeared upon the county hustings remarkable evidence has been afforded of the progress of those principles which tend to the perfect emancipation of commerce, and the furtherance of constitutional reform. Almost, with out an exception, the county elections which have been contested have terminated in the triumphant return of men devoted to the popular progression, as well as of men devoted to the Protectionist retrogres sion. In consequence of those successes the Conser vative influence has been nullified in several of its old strongholds ; for the balance of the Free-trade Mem ber and the Protectionist Member for one and the same shire will materially lessen the force of the latter upon the division lists of the approaching Par liament. Thus, for North Durham there are SHAFT°, a Liberal, and SEAHAM, a Conservative ; for South Durham there are VANE, a Liberal, and FARRER, a Conservative; for the Southern Division of Northum berland there are OGLE, a Liberal, and BELL, a Con servative; for East Somersetshire there are PINNEY, a Liberal, a n d M ILES , a C onservat i ve ; for South Essex there are BUXTON, a Liberal, and BRAM.' STON, a Conservative ; for North Cheshire there are STANLEY, a Liberal, and EGERTON, a Conserva tive ; for Bedfordshire there are RUSSELL, a Liberal, and ALFORD, a Conservative ; for North Lancashire there are HEYWOOD, a Liberal, and PATTEN, a Con servative ; for West Kent there are HODGES, a Liberal, and FILMER, a Conservative ; for North Hampshire there are LEFEYRE, a Liberal, and HEATH COTE, a Conservative ; for - West Glcsncestershire Mere. are BERKELEY, a Liberal, and MALE, a Conseriaave ; for South Staffordshire there are ANSoN, a Liberal, and INGESTRE, a Conservative; for West Surrey there are DENISON, a Liberal, and DRUMMOND, a Conservative; and for East Worcestershire there are FOLEY, a Liberal, and RUSHOUT, a Con servative. In . England alone, therefore, there are already fourteen important county con stituencies where the Protectionist influence is nullified by the coupling of Liberal candidates with those who are staunch adherents to the Country Party. Besides these there are five of other county constituencies immen se interest, either by their numerical st rength, o their magnitude, or their position, which h ave re posed th their confidence entirely and implicitly i n men of opinions : these five constit uenc i es beinge most liberal North Der byshire, South Lancashire, East Cumberland, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Middlesex. The decision recorded yesterday at the polling booths by the electors of the metropolitan shire is one of no ordinary importance. It recalls to our re collection the days when Middlesex was satisfied only with representatives pledged in the most decisive manner to the furtherance of constitutional reforms. It reminds us, moreover, not only of the historical triumphs of JOHN WILKES in 1768 and 1769, and of the equally memorable return of the then glorious Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in 1802, but it revives a retro spection of the reception given by the Middlesex constituents to the late Father of the House of Com mons during the contest of that memorable election. It reminds us, too, of 1820, when GEORGE BY Sc was again associated with a l Whig, • SAMUEL CHARLES WHITBREA D an de the p erson of afterwards of the successive electi ons of 1830 , of 1831, of 1832, and of 1835, when GEORGE sent to Parlia- YNo, the Whig, and JOSEPH HUME, the Radical , w ere I 3 ment together as the representatives te of recollectionthe electors of electors of Middlesex. It must still be in h some thousands that, in 1837, Mr. HUME was thrown out, afi4 Calmat (then Captain) THOMAS WooD, 1 S ' f•s 4, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUCTLIST 11, 1847. returned with flying colours of blue and scarlet. Colonel 'Wow), as the Tory candidate, was, in like manner, accepted in 1841 by the voters of Middlesex. In 1847, that same Colonel Noon is rejected by that same constituency, and two staunch supporters of the Liberal policy elected as tl4representative knights of the metropolitan shire. The triumph of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and of Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE is no mere casual or unnoticeable success of the principles with which they are identified. It is a brilliant proof of the predominance of those principles among the bulk of the intelligent population, and it should encourage the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom to ensure in some manner the election of such men as Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. HAWES to seats in Parliament, instead of in citing them to raise testimonials of a pecuniary cha racter as expressions of esteem and gratitude. In stead of speculating upon the possible demise of Mr. BARNARD, and of the popular favourite THOMAS DUNCOMBE—both of whom will, we trust, continue their patriotic labours in the Legislature years to come—the yet unrepresented electors of England should endeavour to secure for themselves the intel ligence and honesty of HawEs and ROEBUCK. The explanation given by Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS, the newly-elected M.P. for. the city of Dublin, at Conciliation Hall, on Monday, of all the incidents relating to his victory, affords a curious illustration of the manner in which elections are carried on in the sister kingdom. If any doubt previously existed as to the happy land that could boast of Mr. REY NOLDS as one of its especial children, it would be wholly removed by his statement. Although it is impossible to repress a smile at the _ tone and manner of his self-gratulatory harangue, there are circum stances connected with the case that undoubtedly afford matter for deep and serious reflection, and a due consideration of which will, we trust, lead to the abolition of some of the abuses that are still suffered to prevail in the manner by which the representatives of the people are elected. Mr. REYNOLDS, with true Hibernian mo desty, compares his recent election with that of the departed Liberator for the county of Clare in 1828, and he complacently states that his own was by far the more remarkable of the two, and deduces there from equally favourable results to " repeal " as those which so speedily followed the other victory in the emancipation of his brother Catholics. The newly dubbed M.P., however, proceeds a little too rapidly. He may be well assured that he is no DANIEL O'CON NELL, neither are the people of both countries so convinced of the justice and propriety of his present demand as they were, in 1828, of the necessity for the immediate removal of all civil and religious disabili ties. In that year the most brilliant and able men of all parties had proclaimed the injustice of restrictions affecting large bodies of their fellow subjects, for their adherence to the religion of their forefathers, for worshipping their CREATOR, in the manner which, in their consciences, they believed to be most correct. The Senate had rung with the in dignant eloquence of CANNING, BROUGHAM, PLUN KETT, TIERNEY, and BURDETT, and of many other able and effective coadjutors, in denunciation of the vile system that had so long been maintained, to the British disgrace, the worst blot upon the escut cheon of England. All the ability, all the enthu siasm, was arrayed on the side of those who had so long been defrauded of their rights, and though an obstructive policy was acted on by many who still supported the exclusion, because it had been continued for ages—because it had become " An aged vice, a grey iniquity," it was apparent that a change was inevitable, and that the speedy abolition of the obnoxious laws was a matter of perfect certainty. It was at such a period that the Clare election added the additional impetus that was required to effect its immediate over throw. Had it never taken place—had Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, or even a strenuous opponent of the Catholic claims, been returned to Parliament on that occasion, it could not have retarded many months, if at all, the triumph of truth and liberality, the victory of equity and justice. What analogy exists between the then prospects of Catholic Emancipation, and the present prospects of the Repeal of the Union ? What popular voices (at least on this side of St. George's Channel) are uplifted in favour of that demand ? What men a sterling talent or ability, in the Senate, are now to be found amongst its advocates ? What legislative majorities have been proclaimed in its favour? No, Mr. REYNOLDS, you may with as much justice arro gate to yourself an equality in eloquence, in intel lectual power, in discretion, position, and influence with that illustrious patriot now departed, as you can compare the delusive mirage of Repeal with the sober reality of Catholic Emancipation. The Clare election cost, he said, 14,000/. sterling, while that for Dublin cost not a farthing beyond the legal expenses to the Sheriff. In the former there was long preparation, ample funds, and influential friends, while in the latter all these accessories were wanting. The Tory candidates were both men of large fortune, and no doubt as to their • return disturbed their equani mity. The Sheriff's demand, which should be satis fied before going to a poll, involved the cost of the erection of one hundred and eighty-two pulling. booths, with a staff of paid officers in each, with poll books and other necessary adjuncts, by which the preliminary legal expenses were made to amount to the enormous sum of 2,500 Z., or 8331. 63. Bd. for each candidate ; and 200 paid individuals wore employed. The new legislator describes his position in this diffi culty._" There I stood," said he, " in the midst of that mighty establishment without a penny in my pocket." (Happy position for an aspirant for senatorial honours entering upon such a contest!) "We were run to the saddle skirts. We could only make up 3001. in subscriptions, and I advanced the balance of the Sheriff's fees myself." Ingenious Mr. REYNOLDS, who, without a penny in his pocket, was enabled to advance, at a moment's notice, some 500/. ! What a talent would this be for a Chancellor of the Exche quer. No wonder that the possessor of such a secret should become popular. How will his acquaintance be cultivated by some of his Parliamentary associates, whose more expensive contests must have deranged their financial affairs in no trifling degree. The Sheriff's fees, however, were paid, to the surprise of the Conservatives, in due time, although the manner in which the payment was ftarie , - 4 -1.7-the.- 4 genii eman without a penny in his pocket, is stilitaveivilliAtrt"prtery. Thr ee h un d re d men offered their gratuitous services as poll clerks and agents, while ten times that number pa trolled the streets as scouts, and used all those mild methods of persuasion, so usual at Irish elections, to hurry the reluctant voters to the poll. A patriotic stationer, Charley Grace, provided poll-books (which, had there been no contest, would have been left on his hands a dead loss), trusting to chance for payment ; while 300 jaunting cars (the drivers of which were offended at not being employed on the other side), brought up the voters without expense. The result was certainly surprising; but it may be ascribed - - ;o other causes than those to which the vic tor has attributed it. There is a passionate love in the Irish mind for the excitement and tumult, incidental to a contested election. The unemployed carmen gladly volunteered their services, because double the number of their companions would be thereby required by the opposing candidates, and they would doubtless feel bound to share their emolu ments with their companions, the immaculate freemen felt deeply indignant at the attempt to defraud them of their regulars ; and as they were not spoken to in an intelligible manner by the Tories, they rßeevpeenagleedr, whothe indi gn it y b y p l ump i ng for the occasioned the fun. These causes had at least as much to do with the result as the feeling in favour of repeal, and, in ad dition, there was the general feeling that has latterly grown up in favour of liberal opinions, that induced many to prefer even Mr. Jew; REYNOLDS to the men who had aided in the rejection of the Catholic Relief Bill, recently introduced by Mr. WATSON, for the removal of every remaining dis ability from his Roman Catholic brethren. We trust that the circumstances will not be lost sight of, but that they may lead to an inquiry into " legal expenses " at elections, and the placing o f t h e Sheriff's demand on the constituencies, in place of the candidates; and also an inquiry into the privi leges of freemen (privileges that are frequently so grossly abused and perverted), with a view to their total abolition. The Prussian State Gazette of the sth publishes the law, passed by the Diet and approved of by the KING, removing several of the civil disabilities under which the Jews of Prussia have hitherto suffered. The interrogatory of the principal prisoners in the affair of the revolution in Prussian Poland, having terminated on the sth, the Attorney-General of the Crown addressed the Court in a speech of three hours, in which he gave an analysis of the interroga tory, and maintained that they had been guilty of high treason. He, therefore, called for the application of the law against them. As regards the nationality of M. MrEaoLawsKr, he contended that his being a Frenchman did not render him the less amenable to the laws of the country against which he had offended. At the sitting of the Swiss Diet, on the sth, the following letter from the Executive Council of Berne to the Vorort was read : " Gentlemen,—The Government of Berne is again obliged to bring under your notice the further communica tions which have reached it relative to the demonstrations taking place in the cantons of the Sonderbund, in spite of the order of the Diet—demonstrations which each day acquire more and more extension. We learn by official reports that on the 9th of July, on a part of the territory of Lucerne. adjoining the Berne district of Segnan, reconnaisances of the ground were made on the Eutlibouch road by several officers of civil and mi litary engineers. The following day works of fortifi cation were commenced in the neighb,purhood of Wykenbrucke, on the side of Weissembach. The works occupy a sufficiently great number of per sons, and are pursued without interruption. On the two sides of the road, on the heights, works are being executed near Wykenbrucke. It is asserted that i❑ a short time a military post is to be established on the frontier. Without being desirous of anticipating in any degree the resolutions which no doubt the Federal Assembly will take in presence of such acts, which con stitute a flagrant violation of the compact, we cannot dispense with calling your attention to the possible con sequences of manifestations of so hostile a character, and we are bound by so doing to relieve ourselves from all the responsibility which might result from them." The dispatch was referred to the committee of the seven, amongst whom, it is said, the opinion in fa vour of immediate energetic measures is gaining ground. We read in a letter from Friburg of the 3d : " The national association (Volksbund) which was finally constituted at Berne on the 27th ult., has officially notified its existence to the Federal Directory through its central committee, which is established at Berne, and has addressed a circular to all the radical so cieties of Switzerland, demanding their most ener getic concurrence in the work of regeneration, pro mising them, in return, its support in case they shall have to contend against the or direct resistance of their respective Governments. Nevertheless, the central committee, conforming itself to the programme drawn up after the patriotic meeting at Glari€, an nounces that the association will endeavour to attain its object by confining itself, as long as it shall be possible, within legal means, and act by persuasion before having recourse to more violent measures. The central com mittee has sent emissaries into the seven cantons, form ing the party of the Sonderbund, to harangue the people and prepare the way for the Federal Commissioners, who are, as there is every reason to believe, about to be delegated by the Diet. Numerous arre,t4 ; ,hay,e,.b,een made by order of the Government of Vilais,O, Vie dis tricts of St. Maurice and Moullay, where theVadeii'Of the Radical party had succeeded in forming a brigade of several hundreds of volunteers, who are to join either the Federal troops or the free corps in case of an attack upon the Valais." The Suabian Mercury has the following from Vi enna, dated the 2d :—" We learn that twelve bat talions of infantry will soon march towards the frontiers of Italy and Switzerland. The Government is resolved that the Radicals in those countries shall be under no mistake as to its intentions." A letter from Rome states that the new Secretary of State, Cardinal FERRETI, has taken the Jews resident in the capital under his protection, and an nounced that he will punish with the greatest possible rigour all who may insult them. The people, notwithstanding the assertion of Father ROOTRAN to the contrary, persist in regarding the Jesuits as hostile to the liberal system inaugurated by Pus IX., and the Holy Father himself appears to concur in that opinion. On the 31st ult., the day of the festivity of ST. IGNATIUS, the Pope was to have assisted, according to usage, at a ceremony celebrated in the church of their convent. To the great annoyance of the Reverend Fathers, and the satisfaction of the people, the Holy Father thought proper to depart from the established rule and abstain. The proceedings against the conspira tors were conducted - with activity. The arrest of Colonel FEEDDI and Captain ALAI, and the cha racter and previous conduct of the persons placed under the hands of justice, who all belong to the party of the old regime, afford so many proofs of the gravity of the plot. All classes of society in Rome are determined to support the POPE in the glorious mission he has undertaken. The nobility and people have given him sufficient proofs of their devotion. Now is the turn of the clergy. All the religious orders are anxious to contribute towards the institution of the National Guard, and to alle viate the burdens its organization entails on the public. They have all subscribed considerable sums for that object. This conduct of the clergy de serves the greatest praise. It now remaint :to be seen whether the Jesuits, who possess intnienSe wealth, will also subscribe. They are very capable of it. Letters from Rome of the 31st ult. mention that the number of persons implicated in the late con spiracy, confined in the Castle of St. Angelo, was about eighty. One of them, the Chevalier MINARDI, was said to have made important disclosures. , Cc lonel FREDDI and Captain ALAI, captured at Came rata, on the frontier of Naples, arrived on the 27th ult. at the castle, in charge of Colonel CAPTIVBEA and a magistrate named MAZZA. The POPE had adopted the helmet, instead of the shako, for the National Guard, because it was worn by the old Romans. The other parts of the uniform also re semble as much as possible the ancient costume. The following deputies were said to have been chosen by his Holiness; namely, Prince SIMONETTI, for Ancona; the Marquis PAoLucdr, for Forli; Count CAMPELLO, for Spoletto ; M. BENEDETTI, a lawyer, for Civita .Veccbia ; M. PIACENTINI, for Rietti ; and Prince BARDiRINI and two lawyers, MM. LUNATI and VANUTELLI, for Rome. Madrid papers of the 4th inst. have arrived. The Faro gives an official contradiction to the report that the Bank of Union had applied to rescind the contract for the loan, and declares that the opera tion of the issuing the Treasury 4:konds—lias pot fai3ed. Mr. BULWER and *nor PACHECO had gone to La Granja. The Eco del Comercio advocates strongly the recal of ESPARTERO, and says that if the QUEAN were left to the exercise of her own generous se a ti ments, she would immediately put an end to toe exile of the man to whom she owes her throne. The uncle and the mother of General SERRA. NO have arrived at La Granja on a visit. They are in 'the Palace of St. Ildefonso. News had arrived from Manresa of the slang* ter of 15 of the QUEEN'S troops in cold blood by a Ca le list band, to which they had surrendered. It was rumoured in Madrid that disturbances had broken out in Lisbon. MADRID BOLSA, AuG. 4.—The Three per Oar ts. were dcne at 26i for cash ; the Five per Cents. at l i 3 ; and the Coupons at 15. We have received the Paris papers of Monday -0 The Chambers were ►prorogued on that day 4by royal ordonnance. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the letter of M. WARNERY, accusing the Government of corruption in the affair of the concession of the n iit les of Algeria. The Ministerial writer does not aft( ern pt to disprove any of the allegations of corruption bro vg ht forward by M. WARNERY, but =flues itself to as serting that M. WARN ER Y has no right, to-408,p;, ate, himself as delegate from Bona, because there i a no municipal council there authorised to appoint a del e- P gate, but that he is merely the delegate of the 1 21 inhabitants of that place who signed the warrant him powers to act for them. If this is the only .ly that can be given to so grave an accusation, nlc ,st assuredly M. TESTE is most hardly used in be ii ig victimised as he has been. The Constitutionnel, in a long article on the pri )- gress of Liberal principles, passes the following se ye: ce but unfortunately most just judgment on the con du et of the Guizot Cabinet:— "Everything around us. progresses towards libt gay ; the principles proclaimed by the French democracy " 4 east everywhere profound roots in the minds of the peo ; everywhere Governments are obliged to reckon with that power of ideas, which increases every day. France alone has not reaped her part in the rich harvest which she herself has sown, and which appears to be reaped alto gether by the labourers of the eleventh hour. What is the conduct of the French Gore -- went ? At home, it is endeavouring to root up, one another, all the germs of liberty and progress ; it reel Eirfitficre the em ployment of no means, however wretcheL to put down in the heart of the populations evei j ,_I w il roux aspiration, every disinterested idea ; it infuses hits!" the country egotism, sordid calculations, and the disdain of every patriotic sentiment : it makes use of corruption as of opium to lull to sleep a people which was the mis sionary of liberty, as Poland was its martyr. Abroad, not being able to force liberty back, it endeavours to im pede its course. In England it eulogized the leaders of the Tories until the day they became Liberals ; it sought the alliance of the ultra-Tories, in the hope of overturn ing the Whigs, still tottering in power. In Belgium, it gave its persevering support to mixed Cabinets, the sole object of which was to paralyze the liberal movement of the country. In Switzerland, what has been for two years its aim ? To make the Diet powerless by rendering a majority impossible. It has endeavoured as much as possible to prevent Geneva from joining the other liberal cantons ; it has rendered a revolution necessary for the purpose of thwarting this system of tactics, which has led to no result but to ruin a little Government credulous enough to look on the eulogiums which were lavished at Paris as serious, and blind enough not to perceive that the alliance of the French Cabinet is the il first step to wards ruin. In Italy it endeavoured to discourage the partisans of liberty. It deadened the aspira tions of patriotic pride of the Pontifical Govern ment, and, because it durst not wound the national senti ment, because after a year of doubt and silence it was obliged to make the aniende honorable to public opinion, because it was obliged to declare that it is the interest of France that Italy should arrive at liberty, it now wants to turn these tardy words to advantage in order to give itself the honours of a patronage which in secret it de nies. Is it necessary fer us to say what French diplo macy has effected in Spain, and what part it desired to play in Portugal? Sterility, abortion, or scandal are the fruits produced everywhere by the policy of October 29; could it be otherwise ? A Liberal Government which denies liberty, a Government raised to power by insur rection, and which imitates divine right, a Government springing from a reaction against the political influence of the clergy, and which endeavours at present to revive for its profit that influence, cannot find any other means of acting than corruption, and cannot produce anything but what is wretched. The effects are similar to the causes." The appointment of Count BRESSON to Naples has been signed by the KING. This appointment is a bad omen for the cause of progress in Italy. On the occasion of inaugurating the statue of the late Duke of ORLEANS at St. Omer, the private secre tary of the Duchess of ORLEANS has intimated to the Sub-Prefect that the Count DE PARIS has been pleased to decide on placing, at his own expense; at the Ecole des Arts et Metiers, two boys of the town of St. Omer; and that, on the completion of their studies, he will present each with 500 f. in the Savings' Bank. The Princess desires that the two candidates may be selected by the municipality. Great consternation prevails amongst the farmers of the Valley of the Aspe, in consequence of the ap pearance of the black-leg (charbon) amongst their cattle, and which has extended to the district of Oleron. Several men as well as cattle have perished from this frightful malady. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Monday at 76f. 55c. ; the Five per Cents., 118 f. sc. ; the .

We have from time to time, durin,g"the infancy of the undertaking, drawn attention to the above-named excellent institution, and we congratulate its pro moters upon the success which has already attended their benevolent exertions. The premises which have been taken are capacious, and in every respect ad mirably adapted for their intended purpose, the various arrangements for the comforts of the juvenile inmates especially being as complete, or more so, than anything of the kind we have ever witnessed. They are delightfully situated at Wanstead, and the gardens and playgrounds attached are of considerable extent. On the 2d instant the institution was _opened for the admission of children, and several of those of both sexes, who would otherwise have been unprovided for, are now enjoying the physical, moral, and intellectual advantages which these schools have been founded to bestow. On the day named the children, having previously been arrayed in their new and very neat habiliments, from which we are glad to see all distinctive marks or badges have been wisely excluded by the committee, were attended to their destination by several of the directors and other influential friends of the society, besides being accompanied by a considerable number of their rela tives and friends. The little people seemed delighted with their new abode, and soon made themselves at home, running about the grounds with the apparent familiarity of a long acquaintance; and the enjoy ment of the day was undisturbed, except by a touch ing expression of natural feeling on either side as the hour of separation between them and their friends approached, which, however, gave rather a grace to, than detracted from, the general gratification. In the course of the day the whole party partook of a repast which had been hospitably provided for the occasion ; and the time of departure having arrived, the members of the institution and the friends of the children returned home, the latter expressing their gratitude for the kindness manifested by the commit tee towards the youthful objects of their care, as dis played in the arrangements made for their happiness and comfort. We cannot close this brief article without remarking that no societies have stronger will lrospood to its.. not doubt cixims upon that their bounty with generous alacrity. claims upon general sympathy than those which have for their object the education and support o f destitute children ; and, considering the importance an d respec tability of the class for whose benefit this particular we do institution commercialhas world been established,w, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but steady. Sales 2,500 bales, including 2,000 bales American at 611 to 74d. per lb., and 400 Surat at 4fd. to 54d. per lb. Railway Shares were heavy, and prices again lower. L Although money has become more in demand since c l l 'his day week, and is still fully worth 5} per cent. upon approved securities, one reason is very obvious, viz. an increased amount oC revirements existing to meet an augmented trade in the commercial and manufacturing districts, and as the prospects of the harvest are bril liant, so will the spirits of the merchant and trader become elevated. It is not therefore to be considered a matter of surprise that money stock has recently been very fully thrown upon the market, the proceeds being destined to work out a larger rate of interest than is yielded by the public securities. In the Colonial mar kets but a small amount of business has been transacted, but even these may improve if Corn continues to recede, and commercial confidence be not so shaken by failures as to prevent any steady continuance of ease in the money market. We hear again of one or two houses in the corn line, both here and in Ireland, being unable to meet their engagements. The exchanges were firmer yesterday, but the dis count of excellent . bills is still as high as 5i and 6 per cent., where there are three months to run. The stock market is lookng well again, and although there is not much doing, prices are about - per cent. higher again. Consols have been 87 to * for present transfer, and 87k to 87/ for account. Exchequer Bills have been par to 4s. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 88k to 89k. Bank Stock has touched 195 to 197. The Foreign securities continue very dull. Portu guese Four per Cents have been 80 to 81, and Spanish Three per Cents 30k. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. are 561- to f. In Railway Shares the dealings have been restricted, but holders are enabled to obtain somewhat improved quotations. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

In Malt so little was k doing.that prices were almost nominal. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, were very heavy. Owing to the large arrival Elvin abroad, the flour trade was much depressed.

Celt UsLE.—John Thompson, who was on Thum day last convicted of poisoning bis wife by administering arsenic to her, has made the following confession : "To the Chaplain of the gaol. I sun a guilty man. I went and bought that stuff at the druggist's shop. I bought some of it twice. The first time a fortnight before Whitsuntide ; and again I bought more about two days before my wife died. I mixed it amongst oatmeal, and sometimes amongst butter, or amongst anything that was likely to be given to her. Margaret Kane had no knowledge whatever of what I was doing to my wife. I first began to give arsenic to her about three weeks before she died. I did not give it her myself, but only mixed it amongst what was likely to be given her. My object in poisoning my wife was that I might marry Margaret Kane. I lived with lNiargaret Kane just as a ,uteetnn man and wife ab out s i x mon ths previous to my wife's death. I never t o ld M argare t Kane:that I was a married man, but she h a d b een told b y the neighbours that I was married.
