THE Raressiorraxtorr or BIWA.= —Mr. Wortley
addressed the Adore on Moody evening, but yesterday
morning be ammeneed his intention to retire from the coa-
ted. Mr. Windings also addressed a portion of the alectom
on Monday. Mr. Lures Gower has not yet addressed the
„free and independents," but he is actively canvassing the

port of needy all the friends of the late member, and he is
styled the "local candidate." It is not at all probable that

THE Ranitsirrsvion or Tarns Notice is
given in kW sight's Genetic that the Speaker's warrant for
the election of a member for Totem, in the room of the late
Earl Gifford, will be issued at the expiration of fourteen
days. The remains of Earl Gifford were interred on Moo.
day. The melancholy neat was duly observed in Totem by
the partial closing of the shops and private houses from 12
to 1 o'clock, and by a funeral knell which was tolled at the
parish church. In the evades also a muffled peal was rung
from half-past sto half-pad 6 o'clock. Mr. Alfred Sey-
mour, the liberal candidate, arrived on Monday afternoon.
He was met at the station by the Dakeof Someseat's agent.
Nothing further ham transpired repeating the intentions of
the cooservative party. It 36 not probable (says the
Western Morning News) that they will Sod a candidate pre.
pared to do battle under the present eircumstairea The
liberal candidate starts with a certain advantage of nearly
30 per cent. of the register, the tames of the Duke of So-
merset ; and, is addition to these 98 votes, obiedy resident
in Bridgetown, there 3 a large proportion of the electors
resident in Totues who are scarcely less under the control of
his grace. For a oeseervetive to contest Totnes would be
&begat as useless as for • liberal to contest Launceston.

THE WINCHBOROII RAILWAY AOCIDENT.—The
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company haw, we under-
stand, arranged for the settlement of nearly all the claims
made for conspensation for leaser in •uries received in the
terrible colleens at Qt inebburgh in October last, by paying
to the various parties damages ranging, aceoediag to the
mature of the ease, from a few pounds to 2001. to 3001. The
claim of the widow of Mr. Hosie, the manager of the
Oakley hammocks, which was for compensation
amounting to 10.0001., bas bees compromised for payment
of 4,230 f. and expenses. In the err of Mr. liedderwsek,
writer, Falkirk, who was killed on the spot, his mother has
pat forward a claim of damages to the extant of 3,0004, far
which a summons has been served apse the company. The
railway company, we understand, offered at ill earlier stage
to oompromue this claim for a considerably smaller sum,
which was refused. There are also one or two smalls;
claims by the friends of Scotch partiee—oue, we believe,
for 4001., and another for 1,0001. ; but Ores also may yet
be compromised. A number of claims are also said to
be likely to be brought forward by parties in badmen
for loss sustained by the death of partners or confidential
servants ; but considerable doubt is expressed as to whether
the law of Scotland would sustain such actions. So far ea
the claims on account of minor injuries are concerned, the
railway company are understood to have on the whole
effected their settlement with satisfactory liberality, the
demand being in many oars, as it was natural to expect,
very unreasonable. Mr. James Shaw, clerk to the late Mr.
Hedderwick, Falkirk, Who was much bruised sad scalded
is the accident, and whose injuries, we regret to gay, have
assumed • very serious aspect, lay at Linlithgow, la the
Star and Garter Hotel, till Saturday, when he was ireesered
to Falldrk---Bcoesraesa.
