Mr. K ett "Tx, M.P., *pcmd to the resolution moved by
Mr. Henderson, which, after some discussion, was with-
drawn. The thanks of the meeting were returned to
Lard George Brntinek, to Lord Palmerston, and to Lord
Brougham, for their exertions in support of the:cause of the
bondholders.—A similar compliment having been paid to
the chairman, in returning thanks he said he had experience
of English, French, Dutch, Belgian, and Spanish honesty;
and he had come to this conclusion, that if any of those
nations had the means to pay, and he might say the will to
pay, it was Spain. This matter was realty of little impart
to a petit nation like Spain; so that he hoped by the next
time they met the committee would be enabled to sub-
mit some measure far the adjustment of this debt that
would be satisfactory.—A Bondholder then said, before the
meeting separated, he thought it was due to the jou.
nals to express how sensible the bondholders were of
the noble and disinterested manner in which the press had
advocated the cause of the Spanish bondholders. The mo-
tion we, passed with cheers, and the meeting broke up.

anniversary dinner of this institution took place last
evening, at the Allston, Aldengate-street, Sir J. Dean Paul,
' Bart, in the chair. The report of the committee set forth that

Holborn Estate Charity, thesecondobjectcontemplated by the
founders had been carried out—this was the reception of in-
door patients, for which object two wards had been fitted up,
nurses appointed, and patients admitted to the full extent
which the funds would permit. 10,273 poor persons had
been relieved as out-patients during the past year, making a
total, since the foundation in 1836, of 90,811. The expendi-
ture had been 6571. 19s. 6d., which had exceeded the receipts

INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.— INFANTICIDE. Before
Mr. Mills, by adjournment, at the Suffolk Anna Grove-
street, Camden-town, on the male infant of Eliza Marshall,
an unmarried female, which was found smothered in the
water-closet. Mrs. Suter, accused's anat, said that the
accused was not suspected of being pregnant until the 19th
ult., when the infant was found in the soil, and she acknow-
ledged that it was her child. Mr. Curtis, the district parish
surgeon, when death from fever was announced in last
week's obituary, was instantly called in, to whom she eon.
Ceased that the child was born before its time. The coroner
informed the jury that since they last met Mr. Curtis, who
had examined the body and attended the first inquiry, died
from fever. He left behind him a written account of the
post works* examination, from which it appeared that the
deceived had lived. But as that statement could not be put
in as evidence, he was of opinion that the jury would be
compelled to return an open verdict. Mr. Fellows. eminent
to the late Mr. Curtis, said that Mr. Curtis left his bed to
attend the first day's inquiry, on the 24th ult.: he died es
the 3rd inst. Vsediet—" Deceased was found dead in the
privy ; but there was no evidence to prove whether he was
horn alive or not." At the close of the inquest the police
arrested the mother for concealing the birth.-11111/011.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
Aatua=Couwrr.—Lord Acheson, heir of the Earl of
Godord, retires from the representation of this county, and
will be succeeded by Mr. Caulfield, nephew and heir pre-
eumptive of the Earl of Charlet:amt. 14r. Caulfield is of the
same polities as Lord Acheron.
AYE Ileatilhi.—Lord James Stuart ha issued his address
—no opposition.
BlLADValta.—Oa Wednesday evening • very numerous
meeting of the electus of Bradford was held, for the purpose
of hearing Mr. Busked explain his views. He was loudly
applauded on rising, sad at various periods of his address.
He referred to several posses m his political eareer during
the ten years that he had. represented the borough, and
argued that though he hot always endeavoured to avoid
giving pledger, he had acted upp to the general
principles which he had peehsed, and had more-
-1 over considered it his duty to vote aoteeding to the
general opinions of him condiments. The hoc. gentleman
adverted to his votes in support ot flew trade, rail melon the
Factory Bill; and en the subject of education said that his
wish was that all the education that could possibly, by any
means, be afforded tie all the people should he afforded,
but so far as he could prevent it, there should not be required,
in affording that instruction, any test that should interfere
to prevent the extension of learning thsessghout the c
He would have it made as secular as pouible, as he thoughtt
it would be better to have it so than mixed with religion.
The Rev. Dr. Godwin then put sundry questions so Mr.
Busfeild, as to whether he would oppose the transfer of the
property of the Irish church for the endowment of the Ronan
catholic priesthood, as well as oppose any new grants for that
purpose ; and also whether he would oppose the continuance of
the grant of 100,0001. a year for educational purposes, or merely
that he would oppose any addition to that sum, as upon
those points he thought hie published address was not suf-
ficiently definite. To the first question the hon. gentleman
gave • decided answer in the negative ; and to the second be
replied that he was for no further grant beyond the 100,0001.
—Dr. Godwin then inquired if Mr. Busfeild would
oppose the minutes of council until those portions which
compelled the use of a catechism end creed in church
schools should be expunged therefrom I—Mr. Busfeild,
in rejoinder, repeated that he was decidedly, opposed
to any interference with general education by the
compulsory teaching of catechisms and creeds. To avoid the
possibility of any interference with the utility of that educa-
tion, he would say, " put aside and entirely remove all creeds
and all religious doctrine from those schools, and let them
be as much as possible for secular education end no other."
Dr. Godwin pressed for an answer, " yea " or "nay," as to
whether Mr. Busfeild would oppose the minutes of colocil
as they now stand, so long as it is rendered compulsory in
schools of the established church, or in those of any other
denomination, to tench religion. Mr. Busfeild answered
that he did not know what oonstruction might have been
put upon his words, but according to his own meaning he had
said "yes" to that question. Tremendous cheering followed
this reply. Several persons stepped forward to shake hands
with Mr. Sualkild ; tad after weer,' other gentlemen had
addressed the meeting, a resolution moved by Mr. Beaumont
arid seconded by Mr. G. Oxley was unanimously agreed to,
to the effect that the meeting felt sensible of the past ser-
vices of Mr. Busfeild so representative of the borough, and,
; agreeing with the sentiments now expressed by him, con-
sidered him well qualified again to represent the coned-
tuency, and pledged themselves to support him. Another
resolution, moved by Mr. R. Milligan and seconded by Mr.
H. Forbes. declaring Col. T. P. Thompson so a fit and
proper man to represent the borough in parliament, and that
the meeting would use every legitimate and honourable
means to secure his return, was also carried amidst loud sil-
-1 plsuse. The general feeling of the meeting appeared to be
that a reconciliation between the two sections of the "liberal'
party had at length been brought about.
BitiDONORTH.—Sir J. Earthopo intends contesting this
borough. The sitting members, Mr. T. C. Whitmore and
Sir R. Pigot, will offer themselves for reelection. The seat
I of the former is considered sate ; the race will be between
Sir R. Pigot and Sir .1. Easthope.
Cosa.—The resignation of Mr. D. Callaghan having left a
vacancy in the city, the repeaters have cast their loving eyes
on Alderman Fagan, an eminent merchant, and proprietor
of the Cork S-entlierln Reporter. A deputation was to have
waited on Mr. Fagan on the subject, and it is probable the
offer will he accepted.
DratralLS Ewart has published his ad-
dress—no opposition.
DUNDIa.—Mr. Duncan solicit* re-election—no opposition.

DUNDALC.-Mr. Tomos M'Cultagli haa addreesed the
electors, and commenced his canvas. Accompanied by Sir
Patrick Bellew, Bert. ; the Very Rev. Dr. Coyne, Roman
Catholic Dean, and many influential gentlemen, he sot cited
public support, and found reasonable portion. Mr.
lit'Tavish was also in motion.
. .

Firs.—The requisition to Mr. Fergus is in course of sig-
nature and is receiving a good many names, and will be
forwarded to the candidate in a day or two.
FINSHVgY.-It is said to be the intention of the conserve-
tim to put in nomination Mr. Samuel Warren, author of
"Teo Titania a Year." _ .

requiaition to Mr. Baines was aent off on
Tuesday, numnoy signed, and, there is no doubt will be
acceded to. Mr. Clay stands firm. A meeting of the ultra-
radical friends of Col. Thompson was held on Monday night,
and a requisition determined upon, which is obtaining many
signatures. A conservative candidate, it is said, is to be an-
nounced immediately.
KN•BUBOROUGIL—A new candidate has entered the
arena. Mr. John Foster, formerly proprietor of the Leeds
Astrid, and a native of that town, has batted en address to
the electors, offering his services as their representative.
LIVELPOOL.—The conservative association, after a stormy
debate, have resolved, by a large majority, to support Lord
John Manners, as the second candidate with S,r Digby
Maekworth.

CITY or Lownox.—A meeting of the liberal electors of
the ward of BishopegateWithin, wu held last evening at the
White Hart, Bishopegate-street. Mr. Deputy Stevens took
the chair.—Mr. J. Padden, who (as well as the excessive
noise and confusion which prevailed, would permit his words
to be heard) expressed himself moat distinctly in favour of
the put principles which bad been so conmatestly advo-
cated by the party wherewith he had been connected in his
political career. He was for carrying out the principles of
the Reform Bill to their utmost practicable extent, and
with this view he was • friend I. the vote by ballot. He was
favourable in the fullest sense to civil and religious liberty.
With respect to the endowment of any branch of the clergy,
out of the brads of the state, he was decidedly opposed to such
a mode of appropriating any portion of the consolidated fund ;
a fund wrung from the hard earnings of the working classes.
Amongst other reforms which he wished to see instituted
was the extirpation of the odious rate-paying clause in the
Reform Bill ; and be would readily vote for expunging that
clause whenever the opportunity offered itself. Some of the
electors present styled the reform bill a diabolical bill ; let
him remind them all that though the measure undoubtedly
had defects, it was on the whole a noble measure, and
one which they must not forget they owed princi-
pally to the energy of his noble friend their repre-
sentative and candidate Lord John Russell.—Baron Roths-
child next presented himself to the notice of the
meeting, and was received with strong marks of approbation
and sympathy. The hen. candidate declared himself a firm
advocate of free trade. He was also of opinion that no
person ought to be called upon to pay for the religion of an-
other hence he was totally opposed to the proposition for
endowing any branch of the church out of the taxes levied
on the community. The education of the peeyie was also a
matter in which it did not behove the government to inter-
fere. (.' Bravo.") He was for the mamba el the fran-
chise ; and whilst he was ready le vine it the of
the clause which rendered the beaky of yodeg eat
en the payment of rates, he were say that he was not dis-
peed to had fault with the Nina Bill as a measure.
