REIGATE.—The vacancy in the representation of this
borough, which has been caused by the nomination
of Sir H. Rawlinson to a seat iu the Council for
India, will he contested by the Hon. Mr. Monson and
Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, the late Liberal member for
Lambeth. The election is not postponed till Feb-
ruary, as stated in several of our daily contempo.
raries. The legal notice of the issuing of the writ
will appear in the Gazette immediately.
GREENWICH.-otl Monday evening Mr. Alderman
Salomons made his appearance before a large as-
sembly of the inhabitants of Greenwich, convened in
the Lecture-hall, as a candidate for the vacancy in
the Parliamentary representation of the borough
caused by the retirement of Mr. Townsend. He was
accompanied by General Thompson, M.P., and
several of the moat influential inhabitants of Green-
wich, and was enthusiastically cheered on entering the
room. Dr. Prior Purvis, of Blackheath, acted as
chairman, and briefly congratulated the audience on
the recent alteration in the law which enabled a
gentleman, whom the constituency had once before
under memorable circumstances sent to represent
them in Parliament, to present himself again for
election with the certainty of now being able to sit
and vote in the House of Commons in the event of
his being returned. Mr. Alderman Salomous then
addressed the meeting at considerable length in
explanation of his political views, after winch a vote
of confidence in the candidate was carried with great
unanimity.—Mr. Angerstein also addressed a crowded
meeting of the electors at Depttord, and in the course
of his speech said he would support a wide extension
or the suffrage, but was opposed to the ballot and
the unconditional abolition of the church rates. He
would vote for a measure to relieve the Dissenters,
but considered that the fabric of the Church should
be supported. He was a friend to education, and
entirely opposed to the taxes on knowledge. He
was, therefore, happy to find that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer had promised to repeal half, it not
the entire of the paper duty. If they returned bon
to the House of Commons they would find him acting
with the Liberal party, although he would support
good measures if proposed by the Conservatives. In
reply to questions, Mr. Augerstein stated that he was
opposed to opening places of amusement on the
Sabbath, and would support the assessment of
public establishments to the relief of the poor.Mr.A
resolution approving of the political principles of
Angerstein was carried.
