the electors of this city, in view of an early dissolution of
parliament, renewing the offer of his services to the city.
The address is • long one. He declares himself "em ha•
tioaUy • conservative." He says :—" Recogniaiog Lord
Derby as the leader of the party which most closely repre-
sent/ my own opinions, I would not vote contrary to my
impression of what as right and beneficial merely to place
Lord Derby in the position now occupied by Lord Palmerston.
Indeed, thongh utterly disapproving many of the acts
of the present government, and holding it responsible for
involving the country in much peril, humiliation, and loss
of credit, I have no special objection to Lord Palmerston,
whom I look on es, in some respects, as good a conservative
as Lord Derby." He is in favour of an adjustment of
church rates, but would not vote for their unqualified abo-
lition. He is an advocate for education based upon religion
and also declares himself an advoeate for parliamentary:
reform. He is strenuously opposed to the ballot.

THE MAYORALTY OP BIRMINGHAM .—T he electiou
of mayor of this borough yesterday was marked by a peculiar
incident. There were 62 out of the 64 members of the
council present, and two gentlemen were placed in not:slue-
tion—namely, Mr. Henry it/legit), of Meteldey-graage, Staf•
fordahire; and Mr. Councillor George Goodrick. Upon
the votes being taken there were 31 for Mr. Goodrick, 30 for
Mr. Wiggio, and one neutral. The votes recorded for the
former not being an absolute motority of the council present,
after some points thought to be of difficulty raised had
been discussed, a fresh election was proceeded with, and the
same gentlemen were nominated. Oa this division the
neutral councillor voted for Mr. Goodrick, but one of that
gentleman's supporters in the first vote changed his mind
and voted for Mr. Wig& ; the effect was that the numbers
declared by the mayor were 31 for each candidate. His
worship, without hesitation, gave the casting vote for Mr.
Wiggin, who was, amid much applause from a large and ex-
cited audience, invested with the „gold chain." Is the
evening the retiring mayor (Mr. William Holliday) was en.
tertained at dinner at the Royal Hotel. Nearly 2'oo gentle.
men of all sects and political parties were present.
THE .MURDER or Two SISTER, IN IRELAND.—
!lichen! Murphy, the farmer, who is charged with the
murder of hi■ two sisters at Hollywood, near Balbriggan,
was on Tuesday, for the fourth time, brought before the
magistrates. It was expected that the magisterial inquiry
would have terminated either in the discharge or com•
mitred of the prisoner ; but the crown again applied for a
remand. Mr. Anderson, the crown prosecutor, said, •' As
there was on this day week some sort of 01l understanding
that on this day the case would be settled one way or the
other, I may say that I would be prepared now to lay
before your worships the evidence and to produce the wit-
penes, with one exception, and that is a witness who has
only appeared yesterday, whom I only beard of yesterday.
whom I only saw eesterday afternoon, and I have not yet
had time even fully to take the statement of that witness,
much leas to inquire into it. Coder these circumstances,
1 would be unwilling to produce that witness here to-day
and I am prepared to make a statement, on oath, to the
i-tfect that it was only yesterday she was forthcoming, that
her evidence is important in the lost degree, and that it
would he imprudent to produce her now." Mr. Cane, the
prisoner's attorney, urgently opposed the application of the
crown prosecutor ; but the bench, who had seen the depo-
sitions of the witness referred to, concurred with Mr. An-
derson in thinking that a remand was advisable. The pri-
soner was accordingly remanded until next Tuesday.
A Vi alt. FROM IRELANP,—Ln Ertil4o.' of venter-
day has the following : —"We have now before us a
statement of the sorrows of Ireland, issued by the ' Irish
Lso.:iie,' an association recently forme! iu England by
.vend members of parliament, mod other illustrious
liberals, with the view of obtaining a repeal of the Act
of Como, which, Circe IMO, has merged the Irish parlia-
ment into that of England, and consummated the ruin of
t!.e liberties of O'Connell's unhappy country. This state-
rneot, it rit pelts, is only the prelrmivary one of a series of
publications translated into all languages• and disseminated
over th, Continent, which will make known to the whole
world the inpistiee of the Etglish government, and the
violation of Ireland's rights. It cloves with this touch-
ing phrase: • tie profit by this occasion to congratulate
th.• French people that they are not subject to any of
the miseries and oppressions which weigh on Ireisnil.
Miy Providence ever preserve to France her national
liberty and power; and may she ever he spared th►t
which Ireland suffers under a reign which is dignified
with the name of constitutional freedom."'

An accident, which 'night lia;e been attended
