probably, in accordance with the recommendation of the
committee on salaries. be annexed to those of our Envoy
Extraordinary at Turin.—Glube.

It is confidently calculated that parliament will be
prorogued about the 12th or 14th of August. Some people,
judging from the lassitude exhibited of the members and
the state of public business, would be disposed to fix upon
an earlier day ; but those who are better informed do not
anticipate a speedier release from the business of the ses-
sion than we have here indicated. Her Majesty and the
Court proceeded to Windsor yesterday, and are expected to
return to town to-morrow, where they will remain till the
19th, when the Queen will proceed to Osborne (after the
most brilliant season on record), where her Majesty will re-
main till the prorogation of parliament, immediately after
which the royal family will start on their usual autumn
trip to the Highlands of Scotland. It is expected that the
Qui en will be able this year to honour the Duke and
Dueller.' of Sutherland with her long intended visit to Dun-
robin Castle.— Onserrer.

LOUGH ELECTION.-THE
NOMINATION.

IiSAUESBOHOUGH, SATURDAY, JULY 12.
This day the nomination of candidates to supply
the vacancy occasioned in the representation of this bo-
rough by the death of the Hon. w. 0. 1.. .sake seee Scid in
the Market-place.
Up to the previous day the candidates were Mr. T.
Collins, Jun., a barrister on the northern circuit, who
professed to be a liberal conservative, and Mr. Wat-
son, (LC., also on the northern circuit, and in politics
a liberal. Both the candidates had addressed the elec-
tors during the week, and the friends seemed confident
of success until yesterday merning, when Mr. Watson inti-
mated his intention to withdraw from the contest in a hand
bill in which he said, Having concluded my canviuis, and
after taking the best advice on the subject, I find that local
intluence has so far prevailed that I cannot see any rea-
sonable hope of success if I should go to the poll. 1, there-
fore, at once retire from the contest, thanking those gen-
tlemen of the liberal party who have given me their sup-
port." It was hereupon inferred by the protectionist party
that Mr. Collis would be returned without opposition.
His chief recommendation, however, seemed to be in the
fact of his being the son of the vicar of the borough, the
"local influence" spoken of by Mr. Watson in the above
addresa being thus attained.
Shortly before ten o'clock this morning Mr. Collins, pre-
ceded by banners, and a few of his political friends, pro-
ceeded to the hustings, apparently expecting no opposition.
Soon after the honourable candidate had-taken his place
upon the hustings, Mr. S. Powell, sen., the returning
officer, went through the usual formalities; after which
Mr. BOND, an organist at Knaresborough, came for-
ward, and, without any preliminary observations, nomi-
nated Mr. Collins as a tit and proper person to represent
the borough of Knaresborough in parliament.
Mr. CHARLES SCOTT, of Knaresborough, grocer, and
hitherto a professed whig, then presented himself to second
the nomination, which he did amidst considerable uproar
and loud expressions of disapprobation.
The RETURNING OFFICER then inquired if there
was any other candidate to be proposed, whereupon, amidst
much laughter,
Mr. KIRK, • whig, and the landlord of the Elephant
and Castle Hotel, where Mr. Watson's committee had met,
came forward and proposed Andrew Lawson, Esq.' of Ald-
',rough Hall, the represeatative of this borough before Mr.
Laseelles was returned, and a thoroughgoing conservative
and protectionist.
Mr. HARRISON, of Knaresborough, tea dealer, seconded
the nomination.

There was a rumour yesterday that Mr. Lawson was to
be brought forward, but at an early hour this morning
Mr. Collins issued a hand-hill stating that if such a courage
were pursued it would be without Mr. Lswson's authority,
as that gentlemen had pledged himself to him (Mr. Col-
lins) a few days before that he certainly should not inter-
fere so long a, Mr. Collins remained in the field.
There being no other candidate proposed,
Mr. COLLINS came forward to address the electors,
thanking them for the assurances of support which they had
given hira iu the course of his canvass. Ile was surprised
that Mr. Lawson should have been put in nomination
under the circumstances of thiselection, which were so well
known to all present. Ho could assure them that Mr.
Lawson knew nothing whatever of this movement, and
that it never had been his intention to come forward, be-
cause he had pledged himself to him distinctly that so long
as he remained in the field he should not think of doing so.
(Cheers and uproar.) lie must say that in Mr. Watson,
the honourable candidate who had withdrawn from the
contest, he had had an honest and straightforward oppo-
nent, who, when he found that the mapirity of the electors
were not disposed to extend to him their suffrages, at once
abstained from keeping up any further the necessary tur-
moil and excitement of a contested election. (Hear, sear.)
He, therefore, only had to thank his friends for their at-
tendance, and with respect to those who were opposed to
him he appealed to them not to suffer the borough to be
ridden over by the attempt which had just been developed.
(Cheers and hisses.)
A show of hands was then taken, and the returning-
diker declared it to be in favour of Mr. Collins, whereupon
a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Lawson. The poll
was then fixed to commence on Monday morning. We sin.
derstand there are 217 voters on the register, but this num-
ber is reduced to 207 by deaths and double entries. At the
last election in 1847, the numbers for the respective candi-
dates were, LasceUes 158, Westhead 128, and Lawson 114.
The number of voters at that time on the register was 2213,
and of this number 220 were polled.

REPRESENTATION OP BERKSIIIRE.-00 Monday
last a deputation proceeded to Ilisham Abbey, to present
the requisition, calling on Mr. Vansittart to come forward
in conjunction with Mr. R. Palmer and Lord Barrington,
the present Conservative members fur the county, in oppo-
sition to Mr. Pusey. The deputation was headed by Mr.
Tull, of Peasemore, and Mr. Mount, of Wasing-place.
Mr. Vansittart replied to the address, declaring his deter-
mination, if elected, to carry out the principles upon which
he was requested to stand, and to devote his best energies
to their service.—Orford Journal.
TIRE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE ON TIIE SEMMERING.—
The first ascent of a locomotive up a gradient of 1.40 was
made on the Bth inn, by the engine, Save, on the new
Austrian railway which passes over the Semmering Moun-
tain. The engine was of the eight-wheeled description,
used on the Southern Austrian Railway. The engine drew
up an eight-wheeled loaded truck at the rate of 14 English
miles an hour, and was stopped several times, resuming its
journey at the will of the driver.
