RarassmarioN or EAST Someastr.—Sir A. H.
Elton has issued an address to the Becton of Etat Somerset,
in which be says—" A dissolution of parliament cannot long
be deferred, and it is well that no uneorMinty should per
wail as to the mature of the coatest likely to be waged to
East Sonsenet. It is now nearly three years since I en-
noanced my intention of becoming a candidata. I feel that
it is only respectful to you sod fair to the other candidates
to state publicly that I here now Ito such Intention. It is
useecessary to occupy your time by detailing the remorse
which Hitless:sos me is this course. You will do me the jus-
tice to believe that I would not lightly sacrifice the pros-
pects of being honoured with your coe6doom at the neat
emotion."

REPRESENTATION OF FINSDURT,—A few weeks
ego we had occasion to point to votes given by Mr. Cos, the
member fcr Finsbury, and Mr. Doultoa, the menthe; for
Lambeth, the seceseary result of which, had they been is •
majority, would Dave been the overthrow of Lord Palmer.-
tons goverement—unlem the noble lord bad resolved
to resort to a dissolution. And we added at the time,
that the votes magic= by these two members—all the other
metropolitais representatives who were present at the
time bevies voted the other way—would not be forgotten
at the approaching general election. Since then Mr. Cox
ham, in his email way, been among the moat eager of those
who have been Reeking to hunt down Mr. Stansield. Oa
Thursday evading, not content with Within to the best of
his ability at the member for Halifax, be entered the lobby
with the toriee, and voted with them not only against Mr.
Staosfeld, but against the ministry of Lord Palnientoo.
It was bard enough for the constituency of Fiosbnry to
bear with much • representative as Cox, apart from
these attempts te destroy the Palmerston government;
bat we shall indeed be awed and mortified if they carry
their forbearance to such an extent as to permit him any
longer thus to play the tory game with impunity. Mr.
Con, it is true, does not posers a parliamentary reputation
of the very highest order ; but it is to be remembered that
his vote, given against the present liberal government is, on
nay memos. as good as that of Mr. Disraeli himself. We
tenet, therefore, that the electors of Finsbury will lose no
time—for in the presence of an impending general election
no time is to be lost—in meeting together for the purpose
of concerting measure, to provide • ancoemor to Mr. Cox.
They will have one encouragement is the discharge of this
duty—which is, that they cannot, by auv possibility. get
one leas worthy of their suffrages.—Aforning eldrertiser.

THE AVsTRALIAN AND NOREEN NAVIGATION
COMPANY. —The answer of the director. of this company to
the charge. by which it is sought to exclude the company
from a settlement have been printed. Sumeof them charges
appear purely technical or frivolonv, but three, to the effect,
first. that the allotment was unfair ; secondly, that shares
were improperly retained for Australia ; cud, thirdly, that
some of the directors purchased shares in the market, as.
fume more importance. With regard to the first, the
directors state that the number of shares to be allotted was
40.000. and that there were 2,000 applicants for an aggro.
gate of 143,000 shares; that more than the number re-
quired by the Stock Exchange rules was allotted to
the public ; that the company was formed in con-
nexion with most of the great shipping interests to Austra-
lia, the partite in which were entitled to primary considera-
tion ; and that in every instance the allottees are meow
of mains. position, and influence, every allegation to the
contrary beteg utterly disproved. The mooed point, the
retention of 5,000 shares for Australia, is met by the fact
of the entire number having been unconditionally taken
and paid upon by responsible smuts, who are bound to
place them in the colony. Family, as to the charge of the
directors baying purchased shares, it appears that as a
body no such purchases were snide by the board. Nine
of the fourteen directors were Ignorant of them, and
the remaining five, with whom were assoehited three
independent friends, furnish a statement showing that
they, as promoter., were required by the actual enstom of
the Stock Exchange, of which the committee must be fully
cognisant, to purchase some shares to " support the
market ;" that they instructed their brokers to bur as few
as possible, and that it was then found an organised oppo-
sition had been set up by other interests, the parties to
which forced no less than 19,630 shares upon them, which
they bought at premiums ranging between If sod 21, openly,
and after baring intimated to the opposition that they did
not wish to be compelled to buy. Subsequently the publie
esme in u perchance, and drove the shares up to 7,8, or 9
premium, and those who had bees adverse operators then
petitioned that %settlement should nabs allowed.—Tistea
