ELECTORS OF LONDON.

Subjoined is the address of Lord John Russell to
the electors of London, soliciting their suffrages for
his re-election, in consequence of his having joined
the government of Lord Palmerston :
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

Paris, Feb. 23, 185.5.

Gentlemen,—Her Majesty having been pleased to con-
fide to me a mission of the highest importance, involving
the interests of Europe, and affording hopes of an honour-
able termination of the present war, I felt it my duty to
withdraw for a time from my service to you in parliament.
While in this capital, intelligence has reached me of the
resignation of three of the principal minister sof the Crown
and Lord Palmerston has asked for my assistance in carry-
ing on the government.

In this difficult circumstances in which the country is
placed, I have not thought myself justified in withholding
from the Queen any aid which it might be in my power to
afford.

I hate therefore accepted office, and, on my return from
Vienna, shall be prepared to ammo its duties and responsi-
bilities.

In these circumstances I humbly place myself M your
hands u a candidate for the renewal of your confidence.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Joule Roseau..

SATUZDAY ETZNINO.
The British mining share market remains in a very
depressed state, but this is in some measure attri-
buted to the fact that the late severe weather has
materially impeded operations at many of the mines.
Prices in most cues show a drooping tendency.
The gold mining and other foreign and colonial
shares remain neglected.

which the chief transactions of the week have taken

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Fan. 24.
The Lord Lieutenant and the Counteen of St. Ger-
mans held a drawing room last night; and, whether
owing to the severity of the weather, or to certain
anticipated changes in the political atmosphere of
Lublin Cut* of which the frequenters of the Irish
court are known to have a very sensitive perception,
the attendance was unusually scanty. The names
sparsely fill one column of a Dublin paper.
A statement received in Dublin yesterday, that
Lord John Russell had been invited back to re-enter
the ministry, created the utmost excitement. It fully
confirmed the general feeling that without Lord John
no liberal ministry can stand ; but not a few expressed
their fears that his lordship would not abandon the
important mission which he had undertaken for the
sake of propping up any cabinet. Rumours of change
in the Irish government are very rife. Lord St. Ger-
mans and Sir John Young will take their departure
without leaving behind the smallest amount of re-
gret ; and among those spoken of to succeed by far
the most popular are Lord Carlisle and Mr. Horsman.

THE EXPRESB, MI

IAT

GEORGE LEWIS has for some time been Editoe:of the
Review t and we must say, that if hie
adinSnietration of the Exchequer be not more bril-
liant than his conduct of that venerable periodical,
his hearers in a Committee of Ways and Means will
have dull work of it. Some hesitation, we nadir-
stand,fiu been expressed, however, by the'reoently-
elected member for Radnorshire about accepting the
post vacated by Mr. GLADSTONE. Eighteen millions
of extra expenditure to be made up somehow in the
next budget is certainly no peculiar temptation ; and
though we fear we shall never agree with the right
hon. baronet as a politician, we own we shall think
better of hie common sense if he declines the task for
which he is apparently so unfit.
Some minor shifting, and promotions will, it is
said, take place. The gravity of Sir Juges GRAHAM
is to be replaced at the Admiralty by the levity
of Sir CHARLES WooD. Mr. WILSON is to be
advanced to the Vice-Presidency of the Board of
Trade; and his place at the Treasury will probably
be filled by Mr. FREDERICK PERL—provided no Lord
can be got to accept the appointment. A second
vacancy among the Secretaries of the Treasury having
been created by the retirement of Lord Auxem
HERVEY, it is variously conjectured that Lord
EDWARD HOWARD, Lord MILTON, or Lord GROS-
VENOR, will be induced to accept that position. Mr.
LATARD, it has been said, wu not indisposed to
become Under Secretary of War, the inducement,
probably, being that he would have represented the
department in the House of Commons, his chief being
in the Peers. Bat we believe we are not incorrect in
stating that for this very reason the Cabinet of
Lords (as the new Administration is likely to be

called) deemed the suggestion inadmissible when
made by one of their number. They had no objec-
tion to Mr. LAYARD being consigned to silence and
forgetfulness in the Colonial-office, the head of which
was to be in the House of Commons ; but this gene-
rous and flattering proposal Mr. LAYARD if said to
have refused. But alter what has been done respect-
ing the principal appointments, it were idle to doubt
the spirit in which the subordinate offices will be
filled up.

And now once more the urgent question presses
for solution—How is the Government of the country
to be carried on ? Mutiny bills, and votes on account
in committee of supply, may be passed sub siltntio.
But the annual business of legislation is not yet
begun ; and there would seem to be no disposition on
any side to begin it. The conviction appears upper-
most in every reflecting mind that, nelson there be
some reasonable prospect of our obtaining a Govern-
ment capable of carrying measures through Parlia-
ment, it were route of time and labour to set about
the ordinary work of a session ire laborious earnest.
Whether the House of Commons will show any
disposition to go through the farce of make-believe
legislation, by way of keeping in countenance the
sham of administration, a few days will probably
show.—Daily News.

LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.

Yesterday, the general annual meeting of the governors
of this hospital was held at the Freeramons' Tavern, Great
Queen-street; Lord ilionteagle in the chair. The report
stated that the number of patients remaining in the hospital
on the 31st December, 1863, amounted to 63; and those
admitted daring the past year, to 1,152 ; making a total of
1,215 patients treated daring the year. Of these, 960 were
die:aired eared; 14 had been sent to other hospitals; 184
had died; while 57 still remained under treatment. The
gross mortality daring the year was 184, the highest being

BRISTOL, Fan. 9.
Soosa.—The market hes at length assumed a firmer
appearance; and although the transactions of the week are
nut large, owing to the miserable show at market, and the
scanty arrivals, from the long prevalence of easterly winds,
still prices must be quoted fully le. above the rates current
here a short time since, and with a tendency to further im-
prove. Refined produce about supports former quotations,
but the demand is not brisk.
Fur RUM there bas been a good sale; and importers
having met the market, the transactions reach MO hhda.
Leeward and Demeraras—the former at 2s. 7d., and the
latter at 2s. Bd. to 2s. 91. per proof gallon.

diate wauts, which in the prev,ibng slackness of trade us
not extensive. Indeed, were it not for the government
orders in hand, trade in this district would have a very dis-
couraging aspect.

THE POLICE CO URTS.

BOW-STREET.
William Bailey, a lad of 18, was charged with throwing
a snowball containing a brick-bat at a boy named John
Sullivan, aged 10.
The witnesses deposed that a great number of boys had
collected in Parker-street, Drurylane, for the purpose of
snowballing one another and the passengers, and they were
indulging in this amusement when the defendant was seen
to take up half a brick, roll it in the snow, and then throw
it at the complainant, 'whose ear was almost cut in two in
consequence. The child was taken to the hospital to have
the wound dressed.
The defendant was fined M.; and, in default of payment,
committed for two months.
A great many similar cases were brought under the con-
sideration of the magistrates in the mime of the day, and
bitter complaints were made of the extent to which the
nuisance is carried on in the streets of London. In one
instance it. appeared that at least 60 boys were found pur-
suing a feeble elderly gentleman in Castle-street, Longacre,
whose incapability of offering any resistance had marked
him out tor attack. He was being surrounded and pelted
on all sides, until driven to beg shelter in a house.
The offenders in this and other cases were fined from 11
to 2s. O. each, with proportionate terms of imprisonment
in default of payment.
AIMS! Hutchins, the driver of a Goal cart, was charged
with assanltiog persona in Bedford-place, Bedford-square,
by throwing suowballa.
The charge was preferred by two gentlemen residing in
the neighbourhood, one of whom received a large ball on
the side of his head, which inflicted considerable pain. He
had previously seen the defendant compressing the ball
between his knee,, and it was almost as hard as a stone.
The defendant was extremely abusive, and, when the com-
plainants expressed their determination to give him into
custody. he said, " You shall, have a trot for it, then ;"
upon which he took to his heels, and was apprehended half-
an-hour afterwards in Tottenham-court-road.
Mr. Jardine fined the man 11., or three weeks' imprison-
meet.
He was committed in default.
Nearly the whole of the other charges on the sheet were
assaults of a similar kind, chiefly by boys, and the

FURTHER MINISTERIAL CHANGES.

We (Globe) mentioned a day or two since that
upon the formation of the government no definite arrange-

meat had been made with respect to the Secretaryship. of
State for the Home and Colonial departments, it being us-
certain which of those offices would be filled by Sir George
Grey, and which by Mr. Sidney Herbert. It has now been
decided that Mr. Sidney Herbert will be the Colonial Secre-
tary, while Sir George Grey takes the Home Department,'
which he administered with such satisfactory results from
1846 to 1862. No reelection will be necessary in
the use of Sir George Grey. He retains the
office of one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of
State, and his transfer from one department to another
is merely a matter of arrangement, and not a new
appointment involving the loss of his seat in Par-
liament. _ _

-------
No appointment has yet been made to the Chancel.
lorehip of the Duchy of Lancaster; and u regards the
office of Chief Secretary for Ireland, we believe that it is
not yet aerially vacated.
Mr. Edward Francis Maitland, Sheriff of Argyll,
will be the new Salicitor.Gcoerel for Scotland, in sue-
cession to Mr. Mackenzie, appointed one of the Lords
of Session.

Mr. Charles Cavendish Clifford, who was Lord Palmer-
ston's Private Secretary at the Home office, continues his
lordship's Private Secretary.
Lord Hobart accompanies Sir G. Grey from the Colonial
to the Home-office in the same capacity.

SUSPENDED STALLS IN CATHEDRAL AND COLLE-
GIATE CHURCHES—Yesterday a return to the House of
Commons (obtained by Mr. Ewart) was printed, from
which it appears that since April, 1853, there has been paid
to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the rum of 80,1031.15.8 d.
on account of suspended stalls in cathedral and collegiate
churches.
BALTIC TRADE AND NAVIGATION.—A comparison
has been made (says the Constitutionnel) of the number of
vessels which passed the Sound in 1853 and 1851, conveying
to the Baltic the productions of the industry of the western
nations, or carrying to them the articles furnished h
Russia. In the sours, of last year there was a falling off
of 6,000 vessels, about 60 per cent. in the English, and
nearly 90 per cent. in the Russian. The vessels of the
other states have also suffered a proportionate diminution.
Prussia has suffered slightly ; Sweden forms the only ex-
ception. Her trade has increased, and it is supposed
that this consideration may have contributed to maintain
Sweden in her neutrality. This falling off of MOO ves-
sels gives an idea of what Russian comme,ce has suffered
by the blockade of the Baltic pore. When the blockade
shall be re-established and vigorously enforced, Russia will
I have to suffer enormous losses. It is the whole of her
trade which is thus affected, whilst England can make up
)1 for her loss in that quarter by her commercial relations in
other parts of the world.

THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE WAR.

TYNEMOUTH, THURSDAY.
Last evening a well-attended public meeting of
the working classes of this borough was held in the Tem-
perance Hall, to take into consideration the conduct of the
war, and the duty of the people in the present crisis. The
following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "That
we, the working men of Tynemouth, in public meeting as-
sembled, impressed with the solemn c • brough which
our country is now passing, urge upon the legislature the
immediate consideration of the condition of our brave sol-
diers in the Crimea, and the importance of Mr. Roebuck's
motion, agreed to by the House of Commons, being made
the means of a thorough inquiry into the evils of our
military system as developed during the campaign. We,
also believing the war to be ' a soldiers' war,' are
impressed with the fact that the success of our own arms is
due rather to the bravery, discipline, and intelligence of the
non-commissioned officers and private soldiers than to any
matured plan of warfare, and regret to see that promotion
by merit is en accident in, rather than a part of, our mili-
tary system, bad urge upon the government, that as in
France, it should be said to every private soldier as he de-
parts to the war, 'that he carries a marshal's Won in his
knapsack.' The meeting is further of opinion that the
widows and orphans of non-commissiored efficers and pri-
vate soldiers (in case of death in the service of the country)
are entitled to pensions the same as the widows and orphans
of commissioned officers. And the meeting, whilst cheer-
fully bearing their share of extra taxation, and consequent
privation arising out of a state of war, hopes that no treaty
that
aptedancepwouitshml
declared, as the latter only can guarantee peace to the
btreularbweidll
nations of the world and the extension of civil and religious

The appellants were the 10041 board of health of the cis.

to the respondents, by means of which a large
portion of the sewerage of the town of Btratford-upon•Avon
was to be needed into the part of the river Ayes adjoining
to the respondents' fields, and in which they had a
right of fishery The ground on which the Master
of the Rolls proceeded was, that by the 146th sec.
tion of the Public Health Act, 1848, 11 and 12 Vict., 0.63,
the appellants were prohibited from WWI/, injuring, or
interfering with anj water course, stream, or river, iti
which the owner or occupier of any lands should or might
be interested, without eonaent in writing fist bad and ob-
tained ; that the respondents were interested in the part of
the river in question by virtue of their several right of
fishery therein ; and that the introduction of the sewerage
into the river was calculated to injure or interfere with such
right of fishery. Their lordships agreeing with a certificate
made by the judges who had assisted them, to the effect
that the respondents had an interest in the river in respect
of the right of watering for their cattle depasturing on their
land, and that such interest would be injured or interfered
with by reason of the pollution arising to the water of the
river from the introduction of additional sewerage therein,

Mr. Rouniell sinter, Q.C., and Mr. Martindale appeared
for the local board of health ; and Mr. Respell, Q.C., Mr.

Sir J. WALMSLEY gave notice for that day fortnight

mote the moral and intellectual improvement of the
working classes of this metropolis, if the collections of
natural history and of art in the British Museum and the
National Gallery were open to the public inspection after
muting service on Sundays."

house the necessity of rendering national education in Ire-
land more comprehensive and complete. let, by means of
industrial instruction adapted to the wants and eireum-
steams of the several districts of Ireland; 2nd, by neuritis

arr►ngements most desirable for promoting such national
industrial instruction; for Tuesday, March 13.

Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice for to-morrow (this

renew the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, which expire
at the end of the present session. Also, whether the noble
lord at the head of the government intended to make the
ballot an open question in the cabinet. (Cheers.)

eats property. The system of obtaining commissions
sad promotions by wellies is the main source of
this evil, and of many other enfeebling and dermal-
Wag influences which now prevail in the army. This
lathe tint abuse to be grappled with. We are fully
aware of the arduous character of the undertak-
ing. The sum that has been invested in the
parchrse of commissions by living officers does not
tall much short of five millions and a half. This
Money has been paid with the sanction of Govern-
mat, and therefore to deprive officers, suddenly mid
withouw compensation, of the power of selling what
they have lawfully purchased would be downright
robbery. Au expedient suggested by a military cor-
respondent of high rank seems feasible enough—to
declare at once that the system of purchase is at an
end, and iv+ the officers now living die off to refund to
their families the legal price of their commissions
when they have been obtained by purchase. The
expense would thus be spread over a long tract of
years, and the eradication of this moral gang rose
from our army ensured.
Have our %sisters the morel courage to com-
mence this reform? Have they the virtue to pass
a self-denying ordinance, in virtue of which they
shall abstain—for a limited number of years—from
all undue patronage of their relations and retainers
in the army ? By acting thus—and only by acting
thus—can they give what the country will accept as
a sufficient guarantee that they are prepared to
grapple in earnest with the task of Army Reform.—
