BRA DFORD.

The nomination for the borough of Bradford took
place at the Town-hall on Tutsday last. Eleven o'clock
having been the hour appointed by the mayor, by that
tine the large enclosure in ir.int of tho hall and the street
beyond was crowded by a elegise body of people, who con
ducted themselves with the Waited decorum throughout the
whole proceedings, there even lasing but little of that badi-
nage and still leas of the boisterous uproar common to such
occasions.

Saxoar SIUTH. EA., the miyor, having read the copy
of the writ and the at t against bribery,
Mr. W. E. FOIT/Sli proposal Colonel Thompson, dwell-
ing chiefly on the counstency of the gallant colonel's sup
port of the prlneicico of free trade and advocacy of re-
form. _ _

Mr. E. KENtoN seconded the nomination.
Mr. 8. LISTER nominated Mr. Milligan, pointing out
to the electors the great anxiety which that gentleman
had always displayed to forward the interests of the bo-
rough and the assiduity with which he had discharged
his duties as one of its representatives.
The nomination of Mr. Milligan was seconded by Mr.
. BALT.
Mr. Wickham was then proposed by Mr. J. RAND, and
seconded by Mr. C. RAMMER.
Mr. Julian Harney, the chutist, was Mae proposed, in
order togive him an opportunity of making a speech.
The different candidates then addressed the electors, each
of them declaring themselves unequivocobly in favour of
free-trade. Colonel Thompson and Mr. Milligan expressed
themselves in favour of a great extension of the suffrage,
the former declaring himself prepared to go the length of
"manhood" qualification; while the latter limited himself
to the municipal franchise. Julian Harney then snide
a Mug speech, arguing that free-trade was a fallacy except
the means were given to the people to purchase the cheap
loaf, which ho maintained they were unable to du, an asser-
tion which wu at once and spontaneously contradicted by
the great mass of people present, who must have numbered
8,000 at the least.
Ou a show of bands being called for, it seemed u if the
hands of everyone present were held up for Colonel
Thompson, there being nearly an equal number in favour
of Mr. Milligan. About a third, supported Mr. Wickham,
and nearly the same number in favour of Harney. The
Mayor then declared that the election had fallen upon
Colonel Thompson and Mr. Milligan, when • poll was de-
nvinded on the part of Mr. Wickham, which will take
place this day (Wednesday), and the declaration is to be
made on Thursday.

almost looked upon it so his own. He had always been at
his post, and if he could not eminent' sucrose he had at all
times done his best to des. eve it. (Loud cheers.) In allu-
sion to the Bribery Act, the gallant colonel said he had
heard of bribery and corruption ; but he did not know
what they were, unless it was something that came from
the Treasury benches—(laughter)—but he strongly con-
demned the bill, as ooe that restrained him from seta of
charity, and from the performance of those duties, which,
he knew from high authority, were healing the who'd' re-
quiring salve, and assisting the pour widow in her tribula-
tion. (Loud cheers.) In conclusion, he again asked for
their suffrages and confidence. If they were awarded hiss,

Mr. CHARLES SEELY then adds es the meeting at
great length. He alluded to the manner in which his op- I
?clients were conducting the present contest, stigmatising
it as foul and dishonourable, end bringiug forward instances
in which they had eudeayoyred to persuade voters to break
their promises to him.
A show of hands was then taken, which was declared by
the sheriff to be in favour of Colonel Sdithorp and Charles
Seely, Esq.
A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Heneage, which
was fixed to take place at eight o'clock to-morrow morn
ing ; and the meeting broke up.
So much violent feeling kas already displayed itself, the.
after a riot of yesterday, the mayor, sheriff; and magistrates
at once procured the assistance of the military, and a troop

There being no opposing candidate nominated, the mayor
declared Mr. elected amidst great cheering.
Mr. lIINDLEY said ho was happy to be thus elected,
without being a bone of contention and without opposition ;
but he did not attribute the quiet which prevailed here to
any want of interest in the general election which was now
taking place in the country, and in the principle involved.
It was not the lull of death, but the repose of confidence.
It was not from apathy, either, that there was no coated;

WORSHIP-STREET.

Riche/pi Cooper, &Joanna= blacksmith, was charged,
at the =lance of the parish authorities of Mt. Luke's, with
having caused the death of his wife, Elisabeth Cooper,
by depriving her of sufficient food, and other acts of ill-
treatment. _ _ _ _ .

Mr. Allbrey, clerk to the vestry clerk of St. Luke's, re-
mioded the magistrate that the defendant was brought up
last week upon a warrant charging him with having cruelly
neglected and ill-treated his wife, who had been admitted
into the workhouse with one of her children, but, in the
absence of evidence on that occasion, the ease was ordered
to stand over for Anther investigation. The poor women
had since then remained in the workhouse infirmsry in a
state of entreme debility and prostration, under which she
gradually. sank, and died on the preceding evening. He
was now in a condition to prove that her death was mainly
occasioned by the harsh and unfeeling conduct ot the pn-
sonar, who had kept her without food for days together,
and ifter hearing evidence to that effect, be trusted that
,
the magistrate would order him to put is bail to await the
result of the coroner's inquest.
Mary Anne Gamer, one of the muses in the infirmary,
was then called, and stated that on Monday se'nnight the
wife of the defendant was brought to the house in a shock-
ingly emaciated state, and on being questioned as to the
cause of her illness, she stated that it was rolely owing to
the ill treatment of her husband, who had deprived her of
the common necessaries of life. She had been ever since
under the care of the parish surgeon, but remained in such
• low and debilitated condition, that she was unable topaz-
take of the slightest nourishment ellept a small quantity of
milk from the time of her admission until her death, which
took place at sic o'clock on the preceding evening. Shortly
before she expired the deceased called witness to her bed.
side, and again intimated that she attributed her death to
the cruelty of her husband, who had occasionally kept her
without food foe four days together, and that the only nutri-
ment be allowed her at other times was a little bread and
water. The deceased at the same time implored her to use
her beet efforts in preventing her child from being placed in
his hands, as she felt satisfied that in such an event it would
share her own fate, _ .

that there was any truth whatever in the sensation, and
said that his wife's death was the result of a chronic disease
of several yeah duration.

NORTH AND SOUTH WESTERN JUNCTION

RAILWAY.

Tho second half-yearly meeting of proprietors was
held yesterday, et the office of the;trompany,l2, Parliament-
street; Mr. Mangles, M.P., in the chair.
The directors' report stated that the line would he opened
in a very short time, and that it would be desirable to con-
struct a small branch of a mile and a half in length to ac-
commodate the population of Hammersmith and neigh-
bourhood, numbering 24,0001. The cost of this branch
would be only 15,0001., and it would enable persons living
in the neighbourhood to travel by rail either to Waterloo-
bridge or to the Blackwall Railway station at Fenchurch-
street.

The CHAIRMAN having stated the advantages of the
branch to the main line, the report of the directors was
adopted, and resolutions were paved authorising the board
to take the subject into their immediate consideration, and
to raise 15,0001. by mortgage or bond, an order to carry out
the suggestion.
KILKENNY AND GREAT SOUTHERN AND WLSTERN
RAILWAY.—The half-yearly general meeting wasappointed
to have been held yesterday, at 8, Delahay-street, West-
minster, but zone of the shareholders, with the exception
of the chairman, Mr. G. Anderson, attended. The follow-
ing report would have been submitted to the meeting had
it taken place. " Since the last half-yearly meeting the
directors have been engaged in making arrangements for
the discharge of the outstanding hal Hines of the company
sad reteeettles the armoire des heat the defaulting she,.
holders. Overtures have been made by respectable parties
for the construction of the line, but at present no definite
arrangement has been made. Should anything important
arise out of the present negotiations a special meeting of
the shareholders will be summoned to consider any proposi-
tion that may be made."
CORK AND WATERFORD RAILWAY.—The half-
yearly meeting of this railway was likewise to have been
held at the lame place yesterday afternoon, but in this
case also there was no quorum. The report prepared by
the directors was to the following effect ' Since the last
haltyearly meeting overtures hare been made by respecta-
ble parties for the construction of that part of the line
which lies between Cork and Youghal, with a branch to
Queenstown, but no definite proposition has yet been re-
ceived as to the terms upon which this portion of the line
should be made. Should anything be proposed which may
lead the directors to infer the probability of any practial
results, a special meeting will bo summoned before the di:
rectors arrive at any conclusion upon the subject. It would
be obviously premature at present to express any opinion ea
to what may arias in the present position of again. No
portion of the line to Tremont has yet been constructed,but there is every probability of the work being cogameneed
early in the ensuing spring."
London, England, 1852-09-01

EAST ANOLIAN RAILWAYS.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders
was held lesterday, at the London Tavern, Mr. 11. Bruce
in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that the net amount of
revenue for the past half-year was 13,6.41., exclusive of the
porportion of the Derehana traffic not yet ascertained, and
that the set enabling the Eastern Counties Company to
enter into agreements with the East Anglian Company had
received the sanction of the legislature. In order to increase
the goods traffic, it would be necessary to carry the railway
from the
.Isarboar•etation across the Nar, by means of a

—. .
swivel bridge, and thence along the quays in front of the
granaries and timber-yards of Lynn; and the directors
hoped to obtain tho unction of the proprietors to the un•
dertaking.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
expressed his hope that the line would soon be able to pay a
dividend to the original shareholders. The passenger
traffic was steadily increasing, and the directors anticipated
that when the line was carried across the Nar, the geode
Milo would also incresre. The expense of this wader-
was estimated at 16,0001., a part of which, it was
mould be contributed by the corporation of Lynn.
Evart was then adopted.
• bag conversation ensued with respect to a propoeition
then Ilbe directors should be paid .100/. for their services
tram August, 1861, is. July, 1862; and, several share-
holders objecting, the chairman tendered his resignation.
The motion, however, was ultimately agreed to, and, the
chairman having withdrawn his resignation, the meeting
separated.

The settlement of the account in the railway,
mine, and foreign stock markets commenced to-day,
and engaged great attention. Money generally was
I in great demand, u mighrreadily have been antici-
pated from the extension of speculative business.
In railway shares, however, up to this even-
ing, the settling appears to have been less
heavy than last time, and though full rates
of continuation remain their tendency has
been rather to lighten than increase. On Dovers
especially the rate was lighter in the afternoon. It
is said that upwards of 200,0001. has been lent on
this stock, the whole to be withdrawn this account.
Generally there appears to be leas pressure in this
market than had been anticipated, but a change
may yet take place. Some of the rates of " con-
tango " may be quoted as follows, viz. :

Landon and North Weetern to
London and South Women to
Great Western
Midland
Leeds
Dowers •l6 to 16
Meat Lancashire 1.16 to
Caledonian
North Stafford
Great Northern -32 to 632
Oxford and Worcestor l to 3.16
North British
York and North Midland
Berwick

In mining shares, on the other hand, there appears
to be more pressure in connexion with the settling,
there being a good deal of speculation, and by weak
parties. The pressure was further aggravated by
an intimation from many of the members that they
would not " take in " shares unless at extreme rates,
thus forcing buyers in many cases either to have
them taken up, or to realise at once. By this course
of proceeding, which is a common trick in the house
under circumstances like the present, the jobbers
will probably be enabled to get back at reduced
prices many of the shares which they had previously
sold without having them to deliver, in other words
of which they were " bears." It is enally observed
that the jobbers encourage a speculative movement
of this kind for some weeks, and then turn
round upon the speculators. Of aurae they
have a right to do the best they can
or themselves, and a oottelderstica of the dr-

NIZAM'S DOMINIONS.
General Frazer, our resident at the Nizam's court,
disgusted probably at the state of affairs, is believed
to have resigned. He is said to have been left a
large property at home, and that he therefore retires
from the service altogether. His successor is not
known. Colonel Law has been mentioned, but Major
Malvern, now at Gwalior, formerly assistant to
General Freese, would be a far better person for
the offioe, having had many yews' experience
at Hyderabad. Why not send Colonel Ontram

In the districts there seems to have been less anarchy
of late than usually prevails, but the country is still
in a wretched state. The Prune Minister, in want
of money—money,—bas been known to sell a district
lease to three parties one after another, and each, of
course, resorts to arms to take possession ! What peace
or prosperity can be exi ected where such a villainous
system prevails?

chief as a matter of course fled into the highlands,
having been deserted by his brethren and friends.
The country is very mountainous, some of the hills
around being 8,000 to 10,01/0 feet high. The valley

4001. to MX a year. Of course we will nut think of
holding possession: the chief will in a short time
come in and make his salaam, and be tined and for-

in the beginning of November there were seventeen
hundred men sick of the f"re.• ! At Mooltan a great
deal of sickness also prevailed ; n young Lieutenant of

IRELAND

DUBLIN. MONDAY EYZNINO.
THE HUItHICANE.
It is still impossible to estimate the amount of
ravages committed by the tempest of last night and
this day. On no occasion has any storm remembered
hero torn op so many trees as have been prostrated
since last night. This circumstance, I believe, is
partly to be attributed to the long continuance of
extremely wet weather, which had so completely
saturated the earth to a considerable depth that the
roots yielded more easily to the force of the storm.
Hence it is that all the old planted lands in the
vicinity of Dublin, and most probably over the
entire country, have suffered irremediably on this
ocoaaiun. Great numbers of the finest am: old( st
trees have been turn up by the roots iu the Pliceniz-
park, the grounds of the Viceregal lodge, the College•
park, the canal banks, Lord Charlet:woes demesne,
and in fact in every place whe. e large trees wei e to
be found exposed to the fury of the blast. I regret
to say that human life has also been sacrificed on the
occasion. A large tree fell upon a gatehouse at
Midtown in the suburbs of Dublin, crushing three of
the inmates to death, and inflicting taveie injuries
on two others, who, however, tscaptil with their
lives. At the viceregal lodge, a stack ol chimneys
fell into Lard liglinton's drtssing-rmm, but fortu-
::ately none of his Excellency's family wits injured.
'foe tall chimney ofrinu's factory wits thrown down,
and scarcely any house in Dubliu has escaped injury,
some having been so shaken that it wail be iieussary
to rebuild them. All the particulars will nut be
known before to-night.

The bankrupts were first examined as to their trauac-
tions with the Newport and Cserlcou Savings Bank, is re-
ference to which Mr. Williams, jun., was questioned, and
stated that they had not possession of any money as mana-
gers of that bank.
A long discussion took place in reference to various mat-
ters connected with the estate, and at length it was arra ged
that a report should be made as to the colliery, and that
there should be a thorough examination made of the beaks
by tho official assignees and accountant, Mr. Patrick Power.
Some further examination of both bankrupts, in refenuee
to the particulars of the marriage settlements with their
wives also took place, but nothing material was elicited.

man and .lustrian states to fourpence threc-farthings.
The government has proposed to terminate the
sessions of the chambers on the 13th of May. The

The conference at Hanover, for tho purpose of
saving the German fleet from the auctioneer's
hammer. has failed in its aim. The German states
convened could not manage all together to raise the

gratulate themselves that their poverty has saved
them front a piece of folly.

ber by Count Biemark flchonhateicn and Baron

morning at 'regal, once the residence of Baron Wil-
liam Humboldt. Fortunately, honour was satisfied
without injury to either of the combatants.
