In addressing the House of Commons, immediately after the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose plainly declared before the assembled Parliament the necessity which has now become imperative of bring ing the entire question of the monetary system under the consideration of a Committee of the whole House, with the intention of establishing the currency upon a new foundation. Nothing could possibly have ren dered this necessity more manifest than the bungling and desultory manner in which the position of the banking trade was on Monday evening brought under the notice of the popular representatives. Sir ROB:-.11T PEEL might we ll sa ti r i ze th e di scurs i veness w ith w hich his memorable measure was scorne d , an d th e stragg li ng schemes by which its evils were proposed to be averted. Supposing there were no more formidable or more reasonable a n t agonism to the Registration Bill of 1844, then the e ßight Honourable Baronet the Memb er for Tamworth rest per fectly satisfied as t o the Luridness o f hi s financial policy. But th ere an antagonism unq T u h ex e t r ionably i mm easurably more for m id a bl e and superior in regard to its rationality, antagonism, not of stammering dissenti en t s dowe n the Stephen's, but of deteriorated credit, of depre ciatedpaper money, of stinted specie, of impeded commerce, of universal and undeniable trepidation. Rejoice as Sir CHAR LES WOOD may over the paltry improvement in the recent receipts of the Custom-house, over the microscopic elevation of the funds on Monday, and over the more promising aspect of our exchanges with the United States, statements sae, as the one uttered by himself in the Parliament of Westminster cannot be expected by any rational man to effect a miraculous renovation of strength to the debilitated constitution of our national commerce. While the good name of the Bank of England could, at this moment, restore confidence to the money market generally, that good name is rendered un available by the bonds of a pusillanimous enactment and bullion is hoarded up in the coffers hard by the Exchange, for the shallow and erroneous hope of PRA SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAX 12, 1847, saturating England with gold 1 Never was the currency so miserably distorted from a symmetrical science into a deformity of nervous financial blunders. When Sir R. PEEL refers so confidently to the cal culation of the present First Lord of the Treasury, that capital to the extent of 16,000,0001. sterling has been abstracted from the country by an unavoidable scarcity of provisions, and intimates that the present embarrassments of the money market are solely attributable to that abstrac tion of 16,000,0001. from our insular capital, he pre varicates. He endeavours to shuffle the odium of his Currency Bill of 1844 on to the potato disease of 1846. He strives to demonstrate that the blow has been inflicted by the impetus, and not at all by the instrument. Why, the casualty of the late scarcity is only the impulse which has carried down the sooner the weapon of the restriction enactment. To pretend, therefore, that the present involvements have arisen from the atmospheric blight, and not from the inju- L dicious arrangement of 1844, is nothing better than a most flagrant and a most inexcusable prevarication. As the Hon. Gentleman, the representative of Montrose, observed in his sensible and straightforward harangue, the present pressure has originated rather in alarm than in any actual scarcity of specie. There can be no doubt whatever as to the accuracy of this estimate, when all things are taken into considera tion, and especially when the reserve of bullion, at this moment locked up in the cellars of the Bank, is remembered. And it is equally beyond contradic tion that this alarm has alone originated, can alone have originated, in the deplorable operation of the notorious measure of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Ingenious, therefore, as is the hue thrown over the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of rendering the instalment-bolus more palateable, it is impossible not to recognise the malign effects which these anticipatory payments, when enforced by discounts coming out of the public purse, must inevitably have. Before the words of the proposition are well articulated by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer the tongue of the Right Hon. Baronet has tolerably well worn away the flimsy lacquer and gilding. Sir CHARLES WOOD may feel confident in the feasibility of restoring secu rity to the money market by such stumbling demi semi-quavering arrangements, but we are immeasur ably more confident that Mr. HUME is right in de manding a new currency upon a new basis. The announcement made on Monday by the Pre mier in the House of Commons, that he would shortly propose a continuance of the suspension of the corn law for three months, was what everybody must have anticipated. We are glad, however, that the notice given by the Noble Lord was received with acclamation from both sides of the House. The state of the country renders it absolutely imperative on the part of the Government to take this step. The mone tary crisis in which we are involved, coupled with the protracted dearness in the prices of provisions of all kinds, place the expediency of Lord J. RUSSELL'S proposition beyond the pale of controversy. Humanity itself would alone suffice to vindicate the enactment in contemplation. Only on Monday a further rise of ten shillings a quarter was established in the sale of wheat. Since the war-time bread has never been so dear as it is now. The consequences entailed upon the humbler classes, involving millions, are severely felt, since it is not only the natural result, when the price of wheat is high, that the other necessaries of life are correspondently affected in price, but when a stagnation of trade is concurrent with this state of things, the diminished demand for labour, that invariably fol lows, lessens the earnings of the operative classes, and aggravates their distress to a fearful extent. Pro visions rise whilst their means of purchase are in versely impoverished. That the Government are profoundly sensible of the gravity of this subject, is evident from a consideration of the ques tion put to Lord J. RUSSELL by Mr. BAILLIE, and the reply that was given to it, previously to the notice to which we have adverted. Mr. BAILLIE, having reminded the Premier of his refusal on a former occasion to 'prohibit the use of grain in distilleries, inquired whether that intention was to be persevered in, now that corn was realising such excessive prices, with the prospect, too, of their still further rise. The Minister required four-and-twenty hours to con sider of his answer, on account of the extreme im portance of the subject. The hesitation of Lord Jour; could only have proceeded from the opinion that a review of surrounding circumstances, which have undergone such rapid changes in relation to the food of the people, might result in an apprehension that before long the difference between the supply and demand for corn would be such as to require him to recommend a temporary prohibition in the use of grain for purposes of distillation. We hope, how ever, and believe that Lord Jon's - will not come to the conclusion that our prospects are not sufficiently gloomy to warrant any such apprehension. The ac counts we have of the stores of grain in America, Russia, Egypt, &c., and of the continental pros pects of the ensuing harvest, are of the most cheerful character. In America the ice has only very recently broken up, to admit their cereal produce being brought down to the ports; and the only real impediment, which can be easily mastered, in the way of our immediately receiving vast quan tities of corn, both from America and the Baltic, is the want of shipping. We are satisfied that, in a short time, public apprehension will be materially allayed. In the meanwhile we commend the cau tion of the Minister, but especially his decision to move the further suspension of the duty on corn after September next, when the present Act will expire. _ Their Lordships have at length been awakend to a true sense of the positi on i n w hi c h a cont i nue d oppo sition to the Irish Poor•law, and the adoption of amendments calculated to impair its efficiency and " deaden" its effects, would have placed the country. They have been startled at the success which attended their former efforts, and would gladly retrace their steps and restore the Bill to the same condition, as to all its more important clauses, in which it was sent to their House. They must be too well aware of ' the state of public feelings with respect to the men. sure to suppose that there would be a tacit :acqui escence in its rejection. The determined attitude as sumed by the Ministry, the postponement of several measures relating to Ireland, which on all sides are admitted to be highly beneficial to that country, but which would not be conceded unless accompanied by a real and efficient poor-law, that would in ordinary times, and under ordinary circumstances enable the poorer classes to obtain the necessary supplies of food without appealing to the charity, or becoming burdens on the resources of England, have also had their effect. They now perceive that a collision be tween the Houses would have been inevitable ; that an appeal to the country must have been the result, and they have wisely shrunk from such an alternative. A great change was on Monday night apparent in the tone and sentiments of the Noble Lords who addressed the House on Lord Stanley's amendment. That amend ment, the success of which was so confidently pre dicted, which would have transferred the burden from the landlords to the occupiers, which would have been tantamount to the rejection of the measure, inasmuch as it would have led to a regularly organized resistance to the payment of the rates, and the im possibility of their collection, which would still have compelled England to provide funds for the relief of the destitute, and enabled the landowners for another year to have enjoyed the sweets of property without the performance of its duties, was withdrawn by the noble mover. He indeed was not influenced by any consideration of expediency. An Irish landlord him sreelefk, lss of the h e e fearlessly consequences,fottle but battle F ie foundof t to the is landlords, sur prise that the associates, n o fi n in w c 'l h io . se aid he relied, were not propo i s n afl g ; s h p e i . r s i a t, w an a d n.d w animated by the same 11. acknow ledged s forced their Lordships had ul e to admit that. a large portion determined to reject his in the sense of the great House bow utterly useless it was to force a division. the withoutthreat threatened The most mischievous, therefore, o f obstacles has thus been got rid of, an d prospect of its again being brought forward, anyf although his Lordship announced his intention of r again moving the clause on the bringin g up of the report, he state d that his only object in so doing was to let it appear on the journals that the amendment had been proposed , and not to g o to a division on it. The remainder of the clauses also passed the Com- mittee. The Bill was reported, and the report I ordered to be taken into consideration on Friday next. On that day, therefore, their Lordships will have the opportunity of reconsidering this most important question, of restoring the Bill to its original form, and of sending it back to the Commons House of Parliament un mutilated and unimpaired. We trust that the opportunity may not be neglected. On that occasion proxies will be available, and therefore we may reasonably hope that the opinion of many, who have not hitherto taken a part in the discussion, may be obtained. It is rather strange that on a question of such vital importance, of so deep an interest, not one third of the Peers were in attendance, that 127 Lords, out of more than 400, alone registered their votes. It might be worth inquiring how many of the 73 noblemen who formed the majority were themselves Irish landlords, or connected with Ireland. If this investigation were to take place we believe it would be found that few indeed were amongst the oppo nents of the measure who had not a direct pecuniary interest in the result. Letters from Portugal confirm all the previous in telligence. The warlike movements have by no means discontinued, though negotiations are still being carried on for the speedy suspension of arms. W hile the Viscount DE SA had fortified himself so admirably in Setubal and Palmella, that the Royalist forces had refrained from assaulting his position, the other troops of the Junta had effectually crossed the Douro and carried dismay to the army of SALDANUA• Even in the Lusitanian capital a hostile spirit was manifested towards the Cabral faction. Queen MARIA is not proceeding with the prompti tude which circumstances require. Her MAJESTY must abandon all her unconstitutional partialities and friendships, or her throne, long tottering, will be in peril of a permanent subversion. According to an announcement contained in the Augsburgh Gazette of the sth ultimo, ARGYROPOLOS was preparing to take his departure from Constanti nople, having received the requisite passports for Athens. REIS EFFENDI had rejected a proposition made to him by ARGYROPOLOS, at the instigation of the Gallic Ambassador, namely, that MANARIs should be received pro lempore as the semi-official represen tative of King 01110. Greece is evincing no concili atory disposition, and the Ottoman Porte is respond ing to that coolness by a proportionate indifference. The journals from Madrid to the 4th ultimo are characterised by a singular paucity of information. By a royal decree, published in the Gazette of that date, all funds appertaining to the state are required henceforth to be paid into the royal treasury. Among the other arrangements that were being made in Queen IslnExi,A's household prior to her departure, on the following morning, for Aranjuez, the post of First Lady of the Bedchamber, which had been vacant since the ignominious dismissal of the Marchioness of SANTA Cauz, was committed to the Countess VALVERDE. Early on the morning of the 4th inst., Senor CASTRO.. Y-Oaozco, Marquis of Girmia and President of the Chamber of Deputies, expired at his residence in the capital. _ _ The Three per Cents. closed on the 4th instant, at 31i cash ; the Five per Cents. at 191; the Debt without interest, at 5-3- ; and Coupons, at 16 cash. We have duly received the Paris papers of Sunday. Most of the interest is still directed to the Ad ministrative changes, consequent upon the resigna tions of the Ministers of Finance, War, and Marine. Upon these alterations the Journal des• Debats petu lantly remarks, " Certain modifications have taken place in the -Government it is true; but the Cabinet itself is unchanged." It is unquestionable, we admit, that the talent of GUIZOT'S Administration is still retained. " Behold," says the Constitutionnel, " how the Ministry has resolved to fill up its vacated depart ments. M. LACA.VE LAPLAGNE will be replaced by M. DUMON ; General ST. Yox by General LAFLAca ; Admiral MACKAU is to yield his portfolio to—M. BRESSON 1" It afterwards intimates, however, that M. BRESSON is undecided as to whether he shall accept the toils of office. In the event of the Finance Department being entered upon by M. DumoN, at present the Minister of Public Works, he will be succeeded in the latter capacity either by M. Mutur (de Bert), or by M. VITET. What says the National upon these Ministerial transformations and official harlequinades ? Why, our risible Contemporary observes that " when the comedy shall approach its denouement, chance, which governs everything, will confide the supreme authority to M. MONTALIVET !" Nous verrons. happily for the depressed and hungry population, the prospects of the crops are moat encouraging. The weather, which has latterly become magnificent, ar gues a rich and bountiful harvest. About mid-day, on the departure of our dispatches from Paris, the thermometer had reached 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. Accounts from the Russian granaries are likewise of a very propitious character. While corn is rising to such a frightful price in this metropolis and elsewhere, it is consolatory to hear, on authentic information, that no less than 7,380,000 hectolitres, or 55,350 tons, of wheat will be ready for exportation from Odessa and the sea of Azoff between this time and the termina tion of July. Beyond this it would appear that the Danube is becoming more navigable, and therefore, says the Echo Agricole, we may anticipate fresh supplies of cereal produce from the interior of Galatz. On the 6th ultimo, the Semaphore of Marseilles announces that Mr. O ' CONNELL had left on the pre vious day for Civita Vecchia, by the Sardinian steam boat the Lombardo. After visiting Civita Vecchia, and remaining a brief period in Rome, the Liberator proposes to establish his residence in Florence. By the latest intelligence there had been a remark able diminution in the price of grain, in consequence of the decreasing facility in the way of exportation. 111AttsEnA.Es, MAY s.—Marseilles and Mignon, 782 f. 50c. ; Northern, 626 f. 25c.

It was stated last week by Lord John 1?”,•selt, as Patliarnentnry report showed, that about 400,0004 in specie and bars came in during a few days. Discounts, although easier, continue high. Bills that could very readily be " done" three or four months back at 4 per cent., with / per cent. commission are now sus piciously looked at, though 10 per cent. has been offered, with a commission of 2 per cent. It is the opinion of many of the principal men of the City, that next week will really bring with it a considerable improvement in all circles. The growing crops look well, and the deliveries of oolonial and of foreign produce (though it may be from hand to mouth, as the term is, or in other words, to meet only pressing demands) are steady. These are very important elements in the consideration of the stability of trade, and beacons which hold out the hope that brighter times are not far off. Many have been the fluctuations in the funded and unfunded debt lately. As corn rose Consols occasionally receded. Yet the closing price of the Three per Cents. was yesterday but 1 to 1/ per cent, under the highest value of last week. Wheat, upon the extreme values, may be, however, said to be full 2a. to 10s. per quarter dearer than on this day week. The purchases of stock lately have been comparativeiy small, but the holders have shown little anxiety to get out. The deposits in in the savings' banks are represented as being upon the increase. Bank Stock has fallen, though the profits of the Corporation have of late very considerably in creased. At a meeting held recently in Birmingliani, upon the subject of the present extraordinary tightness in the Money-market, it was stated by one speaker, " that the object of the Birmingham economists was to keep the means of distribution steady in quantity and value; and that any pressure which might come should be thrown, not on this circulating medium, but on the accumulated mass of the country's wealth, of which there was enough to sustain any pressure for any number of years. At the present time, the population has to pay a higher price for food of all kinds, and taxes consequently press more heavily upon it. We want, in consequence, more money; but Sir Robert Peel's Act come in and says, Because you want more money you shall have less.' Under the system proposed in Birmingham, the amount of money would not at any rate be reduced. Of course, when there was a bad harvest there must be a pressure—this no system of currency could prevent; but the pressure would not be aggravated by a contracted amount , of money. Let them look at the condition in which the present system of currency had placed the country. A great quantity of corn had been imported from America, and bills representing this corn had been sent over accom panied with orders for English manufactures. These bills were refused to be discounted, and the consequence was that the manufacturer could not execute his orders, and the workman was thus deprived of employment, at the very time when he needed fuller employment than at any other period, and thus goods that would help to rectify the exchanges could not be produced. He drew a parallel between the present and the previous systems. observing that under the system of ISI9 the Bank would have let the gold go to rectify the exehanges ; but the present system kept a quantity of gold locked up, of which neither this country nor any other had the use." Now, although we are not " Brummagem" ourselves, we do feel that the speaker cited above is right in his conclusions as to the necessity of relieving the pressure, and we conceive that it is manifestly unwise to adhere to a •" principle " when it is found not to meet the de sired end. There has not been much doing to-day in the Stock Market, but prices are higher, and with an appearance of firmness. Consols have risen from 86i to 861 for Money, and from 861 to 87 for Account. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 864 to 871. Exchequer-bills have risen to 2s. and 6s. premium. The abandonment of opposition in the Lords to the Poor law (Ireland) Bill, and the prospect of the speedy formation of a new Ministry in France, have strengthened Consols. The Foreign Bonds have exhibited but little buoyancy. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 33 2 4 8, and the Five per Cents. 22. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 34.

We have received the following letter from the Committee of south American Bondholders:— " Mexico, March 31, 1847. " The contents of your communications under notice have been carefully observed by us, and, in reply, we may inform you that the revolution against Gomez Farias, which we mentioned in our last, has been put an end to by the arrival of General Santa Anna, who is again at the head of the Go vernment. We may add that the General is favourably dis posed towards the conversion of the Mexican Bonds, and we have every reason to believe that the point will be arranged satisfact.rily during his presidency. The war with the United States continues with great exasperation on both sides, and the town of 'Vera Cruz has just been taken by the Americans, after a bombardment which lasted five days. Some people seem to think that the events now passing will bring matters to a crisis, and per haps lead to a speedy termination of hostilities, which is much to he wished for." LECTURES ON LIGHT. At the Royal Polytechnic Institution on Monday last, Dr. Bachhoffner gave a most admirable and intellectual lecture on the above named subjtct. The Learned Gen tleman introduced for the first time an improved cam phine lamp, called by the inventor, Mr. Roberts, " the gem," the light from which appeared to the eye of dazzling purity and brilliancy. In its construction the inventor has adhered closely to the only true principle, namely, that of argand, with such additional parts for the supply of atmospheric air necessary for obtaining perfect combustion of the spirit. These, however, are of so simple a nature, that instead of the complexity, which has always been a great drawback to the use of these lamps, this, on the contrary, is trimmed like any common lamp for burning oil ; added to which, its construction entirely prevents that intolerable nuisance of soot and smell so commonly experienced with very many lumps sold ender the name of camphine. NAVAL CONSTRUCTION. COPY OF INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY THE ADMIRALTY TO THE COMMITTEE OF REFERENCE, ON QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF SHIPS. My Lords having had under consideration the large amount which is annually expended in building vessels of war, and the great importance of adopting such plans only as, after due examination by persons practically and theoretically acquainted with the science of naval architecture, shall appear to insure the greatest possible degree of efficiency for the several objects for which such vessels are designed, and seeing that in many instances the objects which constructors have had in view have not been fulfilled by the performance of their vessels when tried at sea, and that in others expensive alte rations have been required after they have been built ; and being therefore of opinion that it is expalient to have recourse to greater precaution than has heretofore existed, before finally approving of the draught of ally vessel submitted to them, are pleased to direct -Ist. That in future every draught shall be sent in, in duplicate, and shall be accompanied by a model on the scale of half an inch to a foot, in the case of vessels of 150 feet and under in length, between the perpendicu lars, or of a quarter of an inch to a foot in the case of vessels of greater length, and shall in the first instance be submitted to the Board for inspection at ono of their regular sittings. 2d. That if the Board shall consider it expedient to entertain the proposed design, one copy shall be referred, as has heretofore been the practice, to the Surveyor of the Navy, to be reported on by him, and the other to a committee to be composed of two of the most scientific shipwright officers, to be selected for this duty by the Board, and such other one or more competent persons, not officially connected with the Admiralty, as their Lordships may think proper to select, who are to report their opinions respecting it in writing, and (in case of disagreement) separately to the Board ; and in the event of any nautical difference of opinion between the sur veyor ard the committee thus constituted, the report of the surveyor is to be referred to the committee, and that of the committee to the surveyor, who are to state, after having duly weighed the arguments in favour of their respective view., whether or not they still adhere to their former opiniow. 3d.—That a printed form, to be hereafter determined by the Admiralty with the assistance of the surveyor and the above-mentioned " Committee of Reference." shall be drawn up, containing questions with respect to the capacity of the proposed vessel for carrying her weights, her probable qualities as a man-of-war, and ether points of importance to her efficiency, to which answers are to be inserted separately by the Surveyor. and by each of the members of the " Committee of Reference ;" but that their remarks are not to be con fined to such answers, but are to extend to every point having relation to the design referred to them to which they might think it proper to draw the attention of the Board. 4th. That the Surveyor and the Committee of Re ference be desired to confer with the Chief Engineers of the NVoolwich and Portsmouth steam-factories, and to submit for the consideration of the Board, a plan for obtaining greater security than at present exists, that the Steam Vessels to be hereafter ordered to be built will float at the proper trim after their engines have been fixed on board, and that they will stow the requisite quantities of coals, water, provisions, &c., at the proper Immersion. sth. That the reports of the surveyor and of the committee of reference are to be circulated for a week at least among the m. mbers of the board, and to be taken into consideration on a day previously fixed, when it is to be determined whether the design to which they refer shall be approved or rejected, or (in the event of the principle being approved, but objections being en tertained in questions of detail) returned to the con structor for such alterations and adjustments as may be required. 6th. That the surveyor and committee of reference be given clearly to understand that, with respect to all questions of mere calculation, such, for instance, as suffi ciency of displacement, sufficiency of space to stow the proper quantities of water, provisions (coals in the case of steamers), &c., in their proper places, the responsi bility will rest with them and not with the constructor, who is not unfrequently ignorant of the weights which a man-of- war is required to carry, and has, therefore, no correct data on which to found his calculations in these respects. 7th. My Lords also direct, that before any vessel shall be order,:d to be repaired, an estimate of :he expense, which is to be laid before the Board for consideration, shall be sent in by the shipwright officers of the yard, who are to distinguish between the probable cost of giving her a thorough repair, and of repairing her in a more superficial manner, with inferior timber, suffi cient to fit her for only another station ; and. Bth. That no vessel shall be broken up or sold out of the service (unless she -be of an obsolete class of which it might be desirable to get rid), without a survey having first been held on her by two master shipwrights, of whom the master shipwright of the Ordinary to which she belongs is to be one, and that in the event of a differ ence of opinion between these two officers, she is to be re-surveyed by a third master shipwright, who is to send in a separate report, which, along with the reports of the first survey, is to be laid before the Board.

COUNTY OF ORKNEY AND SHETLAND. --The small constituency of this remote county appear to be about to set an example of independence which will form a bril liant contrast to the subserviency to aristocratic in fluence exhibited by the electoral bodies of some wealthier and more populous counties nearer home— West Gloucestershire, for instance. The family of Dundas, of Aske, in Yorkshire, the head of which was in 1848 raised by the Whig Administration to the dignity of Earl of Zetland, possesses extensive property and influence in the Orkney and Shetland islands, and has for generations exercised the power of nominating the representative in Parliament for the county which these two groups of islands form. The people now seem determined to throw off the yoke of this family domina tion, and, with that view, have started, some time since, a candidate for the representation of these islands in the next Parliament, in the person of Mr. Arthur Anderson, a native of the islands, in opposition to the present mem ber, Mr. Frederick Dundas, cousin of Lord Zetland. Mr. Anderson is a Reformer and Free-trader. Nonwlca—Arrangements are making by the leaders of the Whig interest for the nomination of two candi dates for the western division ; and the names of the lion. E. Coke, Sir W. Follies, Mr. B. Gurdon, and %Ir. A. Ramona were mentioned as the gentlemen from whom the selection would be made. A meeting for a similar purpose was held of the Tory party, at which, we have heard that Sir Willoughby Jones and Mr. Bentinck, a relation of the Noble Member for Lynn, were proposed, and the name of Mr. Styleman L'Estrange has also been mentioned, should Mr. Bagge and Mr. Chute decline again to offer themselvec. On Saturday last a reauisi tion was sent to the Hon. Edward Coke, the second son of their late representative, and to Mr. Hamond, of Westacre, both of whom have issued addresses consent ing to become candidates at the coming election.--Nor wick Mercury. HORSHAM.—Mr. J. Jervis, who, we believe, is a son of Sir J. Jervis, the Attorney-General, has issued an address to the electors of the borough of Horsham, offering himself as a candidate for their suffrages.— Surrey Standard. NEWPORT.—The Hon. A'Court Holmes having for mally announced his intention to withdraw from Parlia ment at its approaching dissolution, Mr. Simeon and Mr. Fleming have declared themselves candidates for the honour of succeeding him as the representative of the Isle of Wight.— Hampshire Telegraph. NORTH DuawAM.—Mr. Hed worth Lambton purposes retiring from the representation of this division, on ac count of ill health. Colonel Beckwith has issued an address, declaring himself a candidate for the division. A sharp contest is certain.—Newcastle Journal. PonTsmouTu.—We have heard that Mr. Sergeant Gazalee and Nathanial Griffin, Esq., of the Northern Circuit, are to be brougt,t forward in opposition to the present Members. We have also beard that the first named gentleman rather hesitates in his course, and that consequently a gentleman holding a high office in the municipality is to be put forward as the colleague of Mr. Griffin, -- upon anti-State aid educati ona l p r i nc i p l es. Hampshire Independent. WAKEFIELD.—No final arrangement is yet made to supply the vacancy that will be created at the next elec tion in the representation of the borough of Wakefield by the resignation of Mr. Lascelles, but it is understood that both Mr. Daniel Gaskell and Mr. Holdworth have declined the honour of being put in nomination, rather on private than on public grounds.—Leeds Mercury. KNARESBOROUGH.—A strong contest is anticipated for the borough of Knaresborough at the approaching elm- Lion. The new candidates will be the Hon. IV. S. Las celles and J. P. Westhead, Esq., the extensive Manches ter manufacturer, both of whom stand on the Lib-ral interest, and Mr. Lawson and Mr. Busfeild Ferrand, as Conservatives.—Leeds Mercury. EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

CULTIVATION OF THE TEA PLANT IN INDIA.
