The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share Market exhibited a quiet appearance, but a moderate business was transacted. There was a meeting held yesterday of the cre ditors of Messrs P. Sinanedes and Company. The Parties present expressed an opinion in favour of winding up the estate under inspection, in prefe rence to a resort to the Bankruptcy Court. Ulti mately an adjournment for three we .ks was agreed to for the purpose of receiving further information from Alexandria, respecting the debt of P. H. Andrea and Son. Mr. Quilter, the accountant, stated that the total liabilities to creditors, secured and unsecured, amounted to 36,5411. 7s. 31. ; and the assets, consisting of cash in hand, bad and doubtful debts, &c. &c., were estimated at 25,0761. 4s. 9d. ; leaving a deficiency of 11,4651. 2s. 6d. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather flatter, and very little business was trans acted. A further supply of gold has arrived by the Blackwall, and as several other ships are expected during the next week or two, the general stock of the precious metals is likely to be materially aug rnented. The quantity brought by the Blackwall is 80,648 ounces, or about 322,5921., and among the vessels which are next expected are the Derwent, the Admiral, the Orwell, the Austral, the George Marshall, and the Royal Charter. The aggregate amount to be received, therefore, is likely to be far in excess of the quantity required for purchases of silver, but as a proof that the aheorptiOn on that account is still very 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 counts, and high rates are paid for the required ac commodation. From a Parliamentary paper just issued it ap pear 3 that the amount of Exchequer Bills raised for the supplies of 1857, out-standing on the Ist. inst., was 21,049,7001. A meeting of the Lynvi Vale Railway Company Was held to-day, but it was said to be of a private character. E6i : ii 36i - 37 7i -- 8 i 956 -- 96 85 -- 86 123 - 125 109 -- 111 681 -68 i 64 -- 66 U 6 5i 61 85i 101 i 1 104 i 5 4i 2R 1041 i There has been a very heavy market to-day for English Securities, although the movement in Prices has not exceeded per cent. Some weak ness was occasioned by the announcement that all the gold by the Mermaid had been sent abroad, but sub sequently the arrival of the Blackwall with a further supply led to rather more firmness. Still, however, business is remarkably dull, and no revival of spe culation is looked for at present. C msols have been 93,1 I, and 93i for money, and 93i for the account. Bank Stock is firm at 222. Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. prem., and the Bonds 981. Most of the Foreign Securities have remaine 1 at nominal pricer', as very few bargains have been officially recorded. Turkish I per Cents. have re ceded per cent., viz., to 96a 1, and the present quotation is 961 97. Peruvian , A per Cents. are 78 i, and French 4i per Cents. 93 50, with the ex change at 25 20.

Rawlinson, in a letter to the Daily News, says, 20 " Sir,—My attention having been drawn to a paragraph 20 in your paper of yesterday, which announces that I have been requested by her Majesty's Government to accept the mission to China, I think it my duty to state that 11 you have been altogether misinformed. No communiea- 2 tion whatever, either direct or indirect, has passed be tween her Majesty's Government and myself on the sub- Q jest of China. There is not, in fact, a word of truth in the rumour to which you have given currency. and I trust, therefore, you will have no objection to publish in your next number this, my unqualified contradiction of it." IP/WRATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—On Wednesday even ing a labourer, named Ambrose Arnold, aged 36, in the service of Mr. Treadwell, of Hartley, died from the effects of a bite from a mad dog, which he received in May last. On Monday the deceased ftlt very unwell, on the following day symptoms of madness presented themselves, and on Wednesday ha became so un manageable, that he was conveyed to the union, where he died in a raving state the same evening, howling like a dog.—South. Eastern Gazette. THE LATE SNOW STORM.—Mr. J. W. Carr, in writing sa y s e _..." The most 2 ure took place yesterday 1 from Colchester to a of temperature remarkable change o.

The count) of exchange York 1/. sten at New 1 , .on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is nominally against England •; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between tiro two countries. THE CIVIL SERVICE ESTERATES.--The total estimate for the civil services in the ensuing year to 4,448,968/ , but it i s only proposed by 18 57-58 amounts the Govern ment to take a vote of 1 ,553,200/.

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 columns, the following partictihrs :—Vessels' Names ; 2. Port of Registry ; 3. Date of Build ; 4. Registered Owners; 5. Dimensions of Vessels in Length and Breadth, and Depth of Hdld ; 6.

Agreed to. KOORIA MOORIA ISLANDS. Sir J. DUKE moved an address for copies or extraes of correspondence relating to the cession of the Scoria Mooria Islands to Great Britain by the 'maim] of Mu, cat, and to the grant of a licence from the Crown to John Ori, of Litherland, near Liverpool, iu the county of Lancaster, late master mariner, and Joseph llindson and James lienshall Hayes, both of Liverpool aforesaid, merchants and brokers, to take the guano on those islands. Agreed to. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ABOLITION (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of this bill wai read and discharged. ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS BILL. - On the motion of the Marquis of BLANDFORD, aft3r some remarks from Mr. E. DENISON and Mr. WALPOLE, the order of the day for the second rea di ng o f the Ecclesi astical Corporations Bill was read and discharged. Ti object of the bill was to make better provision for the parochial wants of the various dioc eses th ro ughout the country. His lordship expressed a h o p e th a t the new P ar li am ent would entertain the subject on an early day. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT, &c., BILL. Mr. A. PELLATT 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 Mr. A. PELLATT said he moved the second of .he bill to show the country and the persons ha repre sented that it was not his fault that the hill was not proceeded with. The object of the bill was to punish only fraudulent cases of debt, and not those who were comparatively innocent, from misfortune or from adverse circumstance's over which they had no control, or where no fraud was committed by a pereon contracting a debt he was unable to pay. A man should not be imprisoned for what was a misfortune. Thousands of persons were committed not because they would not pay their deb's, but because they could not pay them. Under the C ninty Court Act comniittals were greatly on the increage, 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 ri iof a debt such as a floe, 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 lisped the hon. member would withdraw his motion, and that the house, acting on the general ru►e adopted with bills of importance under such circumstances, and refuse the second reading. After some remarks from Mr. CORBETT and Mr. WRITESIDE, The second reading of the bill was negatived without a division. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) ACT (1536) AMENDMENT BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. SUPPLY. The house then went into Committee of Supply. The following vote was agreed to :--21,049,7001. for the discharge of Exchequer Bills payable in 1857 at present unprovided for. On the vote of 1,553,2001. for the charge) of certain civil services till 31st March, 1858, including the educa tional grants. • Sir J. PAKINGTON protested against their increase, and said that a bill such as that be bad proposed would greatly reduce them. The country did not get the ade quate return from these grants they ought to obtain. Sir G. GREY defended the vote, in the course of which he said he differed entirely from the right hon. hart., 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 the Vice-President of the Council would make such a state ment. After some remarks from Mr. Ewart, Sir J. Paking ton, Mr. Pellatt, and Sir H. Willoughby, Mr. SPOONER asked if the vote included a sum for the Kensington Gore estate ? Mr. WILSON said no, and explained that all the votes were for continuous services for the ensuing three months. Nothing new had been introduced into them. The vote was agreed to. Oa the vote of 1,510,0001. for the Revenue Depart meet, Mr. WILSON remarked that the house must expect a gradual and considerable annual increase in this de partment, for during the past 10 years our shipping trade bad 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 to 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. BILLS COMMITTED. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill, the Customs Duties Bill, the Indemnity Bill, the Copyhold and the the Inclosure Commission, &c., Bill, passed through committee, and were ordered to be read a third time to morrow. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a eclond time :—The Racehorse Duty Act Amendment Bill, the Pauper Main tenance Bill and the Cinque Porta Act Amendment Bill. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. On the motion of the CUANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the order of the day for the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. The house adjourned at quarter-past 2 o'clock. Judgo Halliburton (Sara Slick) is to deliver a lecture at the City Hall, Glasgow, on tho 25th inst. It is announced that the section of the Western Rail way from Lavat to Rennes will be open to the public on the Ist of May. Madame Cruvelli is about to make her reappearance. She has accepted an engagement for two months iv Lyons. Crosby Hall is in danger of fallin: -, a sacrifice to the utilitarianism of the age. A efournitCee has been formed to preserve the building.

MANCEIESTEII,_MARCII 10, There was an improved tone in the cloth nrtrket, and more business is reported to have been done in a'l de icriptions of fabrics for export, exc. pt domestics ' which continue flat. The principal poti o n cf this business has been in low qualities of shirtirgs, jaeoneta, Ma danollams, and T-cloths, suited to the B orubay trade, the orders being intended to cover the large cal, reported as having been Dale at B)mbay at the date of Itst advices. Buyers have purchased rather freely under these circumstances at la •t price'4, hut where sellers, as in some instances ha.; been the case, have held for higher prices, business has been checked. There has been ratliT more dtruand fr printers and long-cloths at full prices. For yarns sellers have been tsking 4cl. per lb. advance, which has railn r checked business. At last week's rates a large business wed) ti : fr a ls v nt e ,ocs b kp e si e n n in,).e d , one.

John Pander and Co. report -- "There is nothing doing beyond the compl4ing of pro sent contracts, and in aline instances goods intended for that quarter have been sent elsewhere." Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : "The improved demand for low qualities of sliirtinqs, jaconets, and Madapollams, noticed on Tues lay last, bas continued, awl a steady business has been don.) at grain illy hardening prices. There has boen a better dea..a,nd also for certain qualities of T-cloths, longclothr, and print ,lrs, at full pricer. In other kinds their., is no change to notice since our last report, the maik:t gewr dly bring quiet, but prices firm." Mee-rs. G. Framer, Sln, and Co., report : "In yarns there is not much doing, hut the market is steady in price. There continues a fair demand for 51h. to 71b. India► shirtings at last week's pi ices, but the heavier makes are inactive, and this is the care generally in other departments of our market for piece goods. Prices arc partially a little weaker." NOTTINGHAM, Innen 10 The lace trade is a shade improved. The SFason, low• ,ver, is a late one, inasmuch ai at this period of the year manufacturers are usually very busy. There tre som.- `oreign orders in the mark€t, and goods are being pr )- duced for home consumption. For coar=e plain article, here continues a good demand, and the prices which Lbese goods obtain is enormous. Th i operatives con oected with the lice branch are exneedingly well em ployed. There is not much doing as y< tin silk lace, in consequence of the dearness of the material. In hosiery there is a good bu-iness doing. Order , are in course of completion for the Arn.rican -market, and there is a fair demand for goods fog 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, Al Ancn 10. There is very little doing in any description of golds, except cotton articles for the spring trade. In conse- quence of the high price of materials manufacturers are c-x3eedingly cautious, and stocks are all kept down. In worsted yarns there is no alteration in price. - - LEEDS, MARCH 10. There is no material difference in toe state of the woollen cloth trade of this district since our ls , t report,. The cloth-halls this morning have ex'libiteflia very quiet aspect. The attenda::ce of buyers has been small, and the transactions have been within a very moderate com pass. The closeness of the general election, no doubt contributes to produce this temporary suspension of ac tivity, and it is also partially occasioned by the state of the wool-market and in consequence of the stocks in the halls being very much rciuccd. Orders are never theless not so numerous or c: . :eri. , ive as tiny have lit teily been, but there does not appear to be any reason for apprehension as to the stability of the tra!le or its prospects during the ensuing spring and summer months. lIUDDERS'FIELD, MARCO 10. Our market this tuorninz has be,!.n w ii attenderi by buyers from the immediate nei4hbDerb >ad, arid from Leeds and Manchester, but there i-eve not been many from snore distant places. Purchases have not been very heavy, but in number they have been considerable, and have extended over various descriptions of goods. On the whole, business has been bri-ker than for some weeks past. Wools keep firm, and manufacturers pur chase cautiously. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—;This Day.) LONDON, March 11.—Wind this day at noon, S.E. ; light bieeze and cloudy. PonTsmourn, March 10.—Wind N.N.

MADAME TUBSADD'S EX.HIBITION.—Among the many pleasing subjects exhibited here, both in groups as well as single figure, perhaps thero is none for beauty of ap pearance and life-like [form as the figures which repre sent the present Emperor and Empress of Austria. The Emperor is (represented in the uniform of en Austiian General, and her Majesty, the Empress, in a splendid court dress; both figures are admirably constructed, and are highly creditable to the traits fur the talent dis- played in - the formation. The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter dam produce-markets mention that, al hough 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 blight 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 still in some cases unremunerative, 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 11. shares. The Bon Accord Mining ground comprise! 347 acres, adjoining the well known Burra Burrs, and is at present the property of the Scottish Australian Investment, and the North British Australasian Companies, from whom it is proposed to be purchased for 24,0001. and a royae y of 5 per cent, of tee ore raised. It has long been be lieved that the principal veins of the Butra . Burra psis across the Bon Accord, but that they lie deep, and yen not be tested without steam power. Tns BURGLARY AT SLADE HOOTON.—A reward of 1001. has been offered-501. by Government, 251. by the Rotherham Association for the Prosecution of Felons, and 25i. by Mr. Hall—for the apprehension and con viction of the persons who burgleriously entered the house of the latter at Slade Hooting, mar Doncaster, on the 26th ult., and stole therefrom about GO/ in money, with numerous articles of plate, &c., and severely tnal 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 CUSTODI-HOUSE REGULATIONS. —ln enri sequence of a representation from her Majaty's Govern. went, the Prussian Government has consented to a modification of a part of its Custom-house regulations, which will remove an impediment to the trade with Prussia. Hitherto it has been required that masters of ' vessels make a declaration of the quantity and quality of the cargo of vessels arriving in Prussian ports—a re quest difficult, and at times impossible to b 3 complied with ; but, upon a representation to Berlin of the incon venience arising to commerce from this requirement, Baron Manteuffel, in his reply to tLe Foreign-office, observes that, " while it is incomiatible with the regulations of the Zollverein Settee to abolieh the requirement, yet, in future, flusters of those stee mere 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 number of Custom-l ens' officers at the outpert% CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION. I At the general meeting of the London Liberal Registration Association, he'.d yesterday, at the London Tavern (from which the representatives of the press were excluded) the announcement of the retirement from the representation of the city of Lo-d John Russell and Mr. Masterman was made and received with a cold and most significant silence. The nom;nation of Sir J. Duke was also coldly received, and the silence was only broker' by Mr. Alderman Salomons and Mr. J. A. liankey, both of whom urged strong objections to the hon. baro net's return, among other subjec's, on the ground of h's having utterly withheld and refined his sup port to the Liberal candidate for East Sussex, Mr. Dodson. The nomination was afterwards assented I to amid strong manifestations of adverse feeling on the part of the meeting. The nomination of Baron Rothschild was agreed to unanimously, and amid much applause. The name of Mr. 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 untnimously. Mr. Raikos Currie, the present member for Northampton, was proposed ss the fourth memb r. Mr. R tikes Currie, in reply, tendered his abknow 'lodgments to the meeting for the honour conferred upon him, but could not break off, on so sho:t a notice, his co , Inecti. at with his present constituency, which had subsisted for more than 20 years. He solicited the indulgence of the nteetirig to allow him 48 hours for consideration. Upon this it was move I that the meeting be adjourned to some future day. After some discussion, it was even tually agt eed that the meeting should le aljourned o Tuesday next to hear the final determination of Mr. Currie, ainl also to nfford Sir James Duke an opportunity of explaining, if he coul l, his conduct iu reference to the late Sussex election. The meet ing was accordingly adjourned. AYLESBURY. —Mr. Layard has been to visit his constituent, but in consequence of the all but una nimous diQsatisfaction expressed at his vote against Lord Palmerston, he is not 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, .ithout opposition. BRIG lITO N.—Both the present representatives, Admiral Sir G. B. Pechell and Lord A. Harvey, will, it is expected, offer themselves for re-election, but a contest will take place chiefly in opposition to the return of the latter Coniervative member, who voted in the msjority against the Government oa she China question. Mr. E. S. Creasy, the barrister, and Professor at University College, London, who is a native of Brighton, intends being a candidate at the coming election. Mr. William Ooninghtm, of Kemp-town, Brighton, has also an nounced his intention of offering himself as a can didate on Liberal principles. . . . CAMBRIDGE.-gr. Mowatt does not intend to offer himself for Cambridge. CANTERBURY.-Mr. C. Purpon Cooper, Q.C., a Liberal, has issued an address. Sir Wm. Somer ville is also in the field on the Liberal intercst, and Mr. C. M. Lushing,ton, a liberal Conservative, will again come forward. The last gen'lena3n will be supported by a largo number of the Liberal elec tors. CHATHAM.—Mr. G. W. Romaine, C. 8., who hls been brought forward by the Liberal party in this bo ()ugh, is the only candidate at present be fore the elect orb, Captain L. T. Vernon, the pre s-nt Conservative member, not intending to offer himself for re-election. COVENTRY.—Sir Joseph Paxfon offers himself again fur this borough. In his address to the electors he denies that he bad any intention of factiously opposing the Government by voting for Mr. Cobden's motion. DARTMOUTH.—An address to the Chairman of the propos;:d Dartmouth Railway, Mr. Charles Seale Hayne, has been numerously signed, asking that gentleman to come forward as a candidate ; and Mr. Johnstone Neale (Liberal), who resides in the neighbourhood, issued an address, in which he presented himself to the electors as a candidate. At a public matting, however, it was stated that Mr. Linthay, M.P. for Tynetnouth, who has pre viously contested the borough, and who has made th , 3 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. Hayne 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 quo,ition 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 submit' (id :-- "Than the vote given by Sir T. E. 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 hat spoken against Sir Erskine, it was decided not to pre=s the resolution until the hon. gentleman had explained himself to the electors of Stonehouse, 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 gentlemen of con siderable property, and who, by reason of the lib 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 for the vacant seat. FROME. —There will again be a severe contest for this birongh, Mr. Donald Nicoll, of Park-lane, having alrea.ly issued his addresq. GREENWICH.- Lieutenant-General Codrington and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., will again offer them selves for re.election. HEREFORDSIIIRE.—It is understood that an at tempt will bo made by the Liberal party to obtain a share of the representation of the county at the dissolution. KENT.—For West Kent the Conservative candi date is Mr. W. Masters Smith, one of the sitting me mbers, and it is rumoured that Mr. H. Hoare , the well-known London banker, or Mr. Stoddart Douglass, formerly for a short time member for Rochester, will be invited by the Conservatives to stand. The Liberal candidates will be Mr. C. Wykeham 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 Kent it is under stood that the Conservatives will again bring for ward Mr. Deedes, who is not likely to be opposed. It appears to be doubtful, however, whether. Sir E. Daring 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, would 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 proa:hing election. They do not object to the re election of Mr. florsfall. 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, aud he will receive the concentrated support of the Liberal party, which has latterly increased con- Bidet ably 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 this divided, and the result of the election will no doubt be the return of Mr. Hersfall and Mr. J. C. Ewart, and the de . Lee, one of th e s itti ng mem feamt of Mr. Lur—nvir. hers, and Mr. Humphrey Milclanay, will be nom. in tact on the Liberal interest.

OLDHAM.—There is now no doubt that Mr. Jas. Ratt, of Hartford Ironworks, will be brought fur ward as a eandid.ate f)r the representat'on of the bor iugh. A c , inniittee has been formed to promote his r-t.irn in conjunction with Mr. W. J. Fox. Strenuous efforts will be naale to return Mr. J. M. Cobbett. PORTSMOUTH. —Sir Francis T. Bat inrr, Bart who has been returned the Libe ra l s for 30 years, ' or thereabouts, has given serious offence to some of his oldest supp:trters by voting for Mr. Cobden's nation. Lint ,Monek will meet his friends this (Wednezday) eveni ,, g at Portsea, and Sir Francis Baring his circu!ated a letter explanatory of his p o _ licy, wh'ch has been given to the public thiotrgh th© bands of his chairman, Captain Evlegh. In the letter the R . ght Hon. Baronet defends the course he took upon the molion widolt defeated thetinis try in these totals I w , l! ret,nrue very shortly the opinion to which. I cam , alter a c:ireful acid earnest consid. ration of the papers. That by h th,, 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 p*rt of the Chinese authorities ; that there WEB ro proof in the papers of any series of instate offered by the Chinese Government. I had no choice left, and deliberately, and ; I s if I bad been in the jury -box, I gave my vote that the paper• laid upon tle table failed to e tablish satisfactory grounds fur the violent measures resorted to at Canton o n _thin I rte 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 Monc.ay 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 bor - bugh in Parliament ;" and ." that a committee of 30 elect ors of all sections of Liberals be appointed t , , invi . e competent persons to address the electors in refs reuse to the repre sentation." Some of the prominent speak-re who supported Mr. Palmer at the last election expressed their determination t.) 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 hn address, stating that it was not his intention to offer himself for 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, iu conjunction with Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, the Recorder of Bristo Mr. Sergeant Kinglake is in favour of an extension of the suffrage, of the abolition of church-rates, and also advocates the adoption of vota by ballot. Mr. Martin voted in the minority against Mr. Cobden's motion. . SALISBURY (CITY). —We cannot learn that any change is iuteudeJ, but there ara futir candidates 'or Devizea SITSDERLA.ND. —ln an! ation that Mr. Hudson will not present himself for re-election, Mr. R. Hoare, of the firm of Hoare, Buxton, -and Co., merchants, London, has issued an address to the electors of Sunderland, announcing himself as a candidate on the Liberal interest. Mr. Hudson's friend?, however, a,airm that he will again stand, and that he may ba expected in the town in a few days. TAUNTON. —The Right Bon. H. Labouchere will again offer himself for this borough, which he has so worthily represented for many years. Sir John Hamden will not come forward for Taunton, but it is said will seek the representation of the West Riding, in opposition 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 Imre 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 Loudon, although, doubtless in anticipation of his accepting the prof f,red 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 hc-re would be futile. His col.- league, Mr. kleatlicoA, is expected to retire, on the dissolution, from Parliamentary life, owing to increased age and infirmiT. TYNEMOTTIH. —Mr. W. S. Lindsay has issued an address in dtfenee of his vote on the China ques tion. Tile party with whom Mr. Lindsay went into the lobby, the Derbyites, are not acting very graciously towards the hon. member, for, taking advantage of the division in the Liberal ranks, they are attempting to organise a form'clable oppo sition t,, unseat Lim. 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 E igne d requisition was presented to him. WAREECADI. —There are three candidates in the field for the representation of this borough—Mr. Drax, the sitting member, a Derbyite, and Colonel Burton, his son in-law, will offer themselves on the Conservative interest ; Mr. John Hales Caicraft, Liberal, who formerly represented Wareham, has commenced an active canvass as a supporter of the Palmerston Government. • WESTMINSTER. —Mr. Wester' on, the churchwar den of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, the promoter of the suit against the Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell, the incumbent of St. Paul and St. Barnabas, having been asked to become a candidate for the represen tation of the city of Westminster in Parliament, bas consented to be put in nomination on condition that a requisition be presented to him sufficiently nereerously signed to make his teturn probable. Mr. Wezterton, in reply to the solicitation of his friends, his stated that the principles he wishes to see affirmed by the electors of Westminster and r 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 but 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 le nominated, and re ceive the support of a large number of the Liberal party. WILTS (SOUTH).—Mr. Sydney Herbert, Mr. Wyndham and Lord Henry Thyorte are cinvass ing for this division of the county, and it is ex pected that the contest will 1-e 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, who, in a few years, has suc ceededa nd Co o n nel alienating Parrat' t so large a number - of his party that be has lost all hope of success—indeed some of Iris leading supporteis have been canvassing for votes for a Tory candidate. SCOTLAND, ABERDEEN. —Mr. Thimp ion, the member for Aberdeen, has intimated his intention to retire from the representation. of that city. Mr. John Farley Leith, banister, of London, and Professor of Law in Haileybury College, is a candidate for the vacant seat. CLACKMANNAN AND KINROSS.—Mr. J. Johnstone, the member for thes e count i es, announces his in tention to seek a r enewa l o f the confidence of hi s constituents. His support o f M r. C o bd en ' s motion has, along with other v o t es , crea t e d con siderable opposition, so that it is very likely his re-election may be challenged. Mr. Adam 2 jun., of Blairadam,. who contested the representation with Mr. Joi.in i atone in 1851, is spoken of with more probability-, ' of his coming forward. the Scotsman) FIFESIIIRE. —ln this county (saw contrary to the present Liberal member, expectation, will offer Weeny a gain f we'myss, son of the late that Mr. Hay 7 "l but it is understood. AdmiralWemyss, forward on Liberal rn inciples. also intends to con P Hon. J. E. Elliot ha stating that so soon as Welon'gr'eci)wesentative of the county, ROXBUR co dissolves it is his intention to visit Parliament - in the G h l i i s S . lll %stituency , addressed them, to s olicit their support forthcoming He says that ou the Chinese question he fon in voting aninbt Mr. Cobden's m h otion. The censure of Government in the mat hostilities having commenced without their ter, knowledge, appeal l ea v ed to hint quite useless, inas much as it was quite certain that no Government could have followed any other course than that of el:dot:ion lents 1 . affording such assistance and support to the autho ' rides in China as w o uld givethe greatest practicable security to the British inhabitants until an adjust ment of the points in dispute could be arrived at. He trusts that his conduct on the occasion is ap proved by the electors of Roxburgh, and that they will rally round Lord Palmerston with a heal ty and determined support,
