ISLE OF WIOIiT ELECTION.
Yesterday (Friday) having been fixed for the
nomination of candidates for the representation of the
county of the Isle of Wighs, the Market-place at Newport
and the vicinity of the Guildhall were crowded at en curly
hour; there must have been more than 5,000 persons
' present.
Mr. SEWELL, the deputy sheriff', having opened the
business, by calling ou the meeting to hear with patience
the respective speakers,
I The lion. A'COURT HOLMES proposed Capt. Andrew
Demand, R.N., as a fit and proper person to represent the
county of the Isle of Wight in parliament.
T. NV. FLEISIING, Esq., seconded the nomination.
JOINTBONIUM CARTER, Esq., M.l'. for Winchet-
ter, nominated Mr. Edward Dawes. He commenced by
I expressing his regret at the occasion that had (lintel the
assemblage together, and he paid a warm tribute of respect
Ito the character of the late member. lie then proceeded
to advocate the claims of Mr. Dawes, and the necessity of
returning to parliament a man who would not consent to
reverse the present free-trade
Sir CLAL DE WADE aecooded the nomination, after
which,
HAMOND made an attempt to address the
electors. lie was only heard to say that he had not sought
the toeition in which he was placed—he had been re-
quested to take it. He characterised the imputation of
having unjustly or cruelly flogged his men, from many of
whom he had letters thanking him for his kindness to-
wards them. ex a gross calumny.
Mr. DAWES then came forward to address the assem-
blage, and was greeted with three rounds of applause. Ile'
avowed himself to be a friend to the farmer, but he could
never consent to a re-impoeition of proteetional duties on
the food of the people. But this he regarded as impossible
to be done ; the people having tasted the blessings of cheap
bread could never be induced to accept of dear bread. He
warned the agriculturists that, even if they did again
get protection, they could not keep it, as Lord
John Russell's promised measures of reform would
give the suffrage to a larger body than now possessed
it and those would use it for the freeing of the bread of the
poor from all taxes. The only. relief to agriculture must
come front a reduction in taxation and local burdens and a
readjustment of rents. Ile then expressed his deter-
mination to oppose the encroachments of the papacy if
he should have the honour to be elected. With segued to
his prospects he was glad to my that, having only canvassed
two-thirds of the island, he had already obtained a larger
number of votes than had ever betore been given to a can-
didate for it.

No other candidate being nominated, the Deputy-Sheriff
then called for a show of hand., when hardly 200 were held
up for Captain Ilamond, whilst thousand., many of whom,
however, were not elector., held up in favour of Mr.
Dawes. The Deputy. Sheriff eon.equently declared the
.hnw of hand, to be in favour of the latter gentleman,
when a poll wit. deman led on behalf of Captain Ilamond.
It woo ordered to take place on Monday and 'Tuesday next.
The formal declaration will be mail• on Thursday next.

NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The following
communication front Norwich, under date of the' oth inst.,
indicates the opinions of reformers iu an agricultural county
At a me. ting of the general and wards committee of the
National Iteform Association held this evening at St.
Andrew's Hall. it was moved by J. H. 'fillet', Esq.,
seconded by Alderman Hall. and unanimously agreed!
That as it obviously is the determination of the protection-
ists if possible to reimpose the hateful tan on the food of the
people, and also to mist every as. asure of relief by means
of reduction in the national expenditure, and as the present
limited franchise and unfair distribution of electoral power
Teak, it probable that they may succeed unless an exten-
sive measure of reform be passed without delay, this
committee deems it imperatively necessary Oat at the nest
election all minor differences amongst reformers should be
=to the advocacy of free trade, thorough and sa-
e economy in every branch of the public service, and
as the only means of securing these objects, parliamentary
reform, immediate and complete. That it be referred to
the curative committee to open a correspondence with the
leading reformers in Ipswich, Yarmouth, Cambridge,
Boston, Reading, and other boroughs, in which divisions
have arisen in the liberal interest, oldie view to obtain the
benefit of mutual counsel ar.d advice in reference to
arrangements for the neat several election.

ITALY.

PIEDNIONT.
Tt:ItIN, MAT IN.
The Riaorgintento proclaims aboolutely Mime the
report of the er,"- di Saiwin, concerning a league
between Piedmont and the other Italian States.

We learn from the Turin papers that, on the 14th,1
a numerous meeting was held at the Commercial Club
at Nice, in which a protest was drawn up and voted
against the bill of Customs' Reform, now before the
Chamber of Deputies of Turin. In this protest it is
stated that the commercial franchises of Nice owe
their origin to the contract of union of 1388, when
the country of Nice freely gave itself up to the
House of Savoy ; that all govennnents have
hitherto respected them ; that the treaties of 1815
confirmed them; that the bill now before the House
is hostile to the said franchises; that therefore the
I people of Nice cull upon theSardinian government
to observe the faith of treaties, protests against the
taxes upon corn and salt, and against the new bill
on the reliiren of the customs; and that, in case this
protest were disregarded, Nice would be forced to
consider the contract which unites it with the Sar-
dinian government annulled, and to declare her own
independence. The municipality has refused to
receive this protest, but named a deputation, which
is to proceed to Turin, to defend the interests of the
province.

L.tM BEll!,

John Fork was chartist' with dealing a piece of linen,
value I/. 35., from the shop of Mr. Joseph Harris, in Cu hl
Harbour lane, Camberwell. _ .

Mr. Harris depused, that during his absence from his
shop fur one moment on the precediag evening, and while
in his parlour, he observed by the reflection on the chim- •
ney-glass, the back of a person leaving the shop in a hurried
manner. 'phis exciting his suspicions, he hurried to the
street-door, and just caught a glimpse of the prisoner as he
was turning the corner of the neat street. Looking hastily
round to see if anything was gone he missed a piece of
linen from the counter, where he had seen it a few minutes
before, and in consequence went in pursuit of the prisoner.
In his progress he met with a police-constable, to whom he
mentioned the occurrence, and he (the constable) went in
it ttttttttttttt pursuit of and soon secured the prisoner, with
the missing property ou him.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that the piece of linen
had liven like'. to him by u man who was a perfect stranger.
to hint, whom he had never seen before.—Memanded.

PORTUGAL.

The Dirario do Govern,' of Lisbon, of the 12th and
13th, has reached us rii Madrid. It contains a decree
of the Queen, declaring that the decree of the 13th
March last, by which Marshal Saldanha was dis-
missed from his seat in the supreme tribunal of mili-
tary justice, " shall be null and of no effect," shall be
"considered as having never existed," and that "it
shall be cancelled in the registers, in order that no trace
of it may remain." The decree was first published
without the words marked in inverted commas, but
j the uext day it was reproduced UN drawn up,
and it was stated that the words had been
accidentally omitted "by an important typo
-
j graphical error." Another decree of the 12th
confirms all the civil and military appointments
made by the marshal. The Mario further con-
tains an official notification, that an information
having been received that Count do Thomar was
about to proceed to Madrid to take the possession of
the embassy to which he had previously been
nominated, a communitaition was immediately
sent utf to him to tell him that he was dismiesed.
The Duke de Saldanha continued at Oporto; he was
exercising full military and civil authority, but in
the Queen's name.

The same paper, of the 11th, publishes the follow-
ing telegraphic despatch :
orottro, Nfav 13. -In consequence of a delibe-
ration taken by the leading pilots of the bar at
Oporto, it wastleclarell unsafe tbr steamers to leave
to-day, therefore the departure is postponed till to-
morrow, 11th.

MONEY MARKET

THIS DAT.

Two o'CLoex.

This being the day when the bulk of "th; monthly
account in Consols is arranged, rumours of,
all descriptions have, as a matter of course,
been industriously propagated with a view to'
depress prices, the reports which have from
time to time been repeated of the intended speedy
negotiation of sundry foreign loans in this
market, including a large one for Austria, being
especially made a handle of by the " bears."
The consequence of these rumours, which have
been further assisted by a few well-timed sake of
stock, is a decline of in Consols, and this, too, in
spite of the continued operations of the government
broker.

Consols have receded from their opening price of
961 to 97, to their present quotation of 961 to I ex
div. ; whilst for the August account they are called
Ithecmore. The official business list is as follows:
per Cent. Consols, 961, 97, 961; ditto for ac-
count, 961, 97, 961; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971,
1; l'hree-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 99, 981 ;
Bank Stock, 214, 215,

The operations in the Exohequer Bill market are
again rather in the direction of sales, but the quota-
tion has not declined below yesterday's range of
495. to 32a. prem. Indian Bonds 1,0001., mark 625.
prem. ; ditto under 1,0001., 60s.
A fair number of transactions is recorded in the
foreign bond market, in addition to the business'
connected with the closing of the account, but they
have not led to any movement in prices. The opera-
tions include a proportion of investments on account of
dividend-receivers in the sounder descriptions of Euro-
pean stocks. The success which has been achieved by
the Spanish ministry, in the debates on their bill for
the settlement of the debt, attracts more attention
to these bonds. The list of to-day's bargains
includes the under-mentioned securities, viz.:

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THIS DAY.

The above court resumed its sittings to-day. The pro-
ceedings were opened at ten o'clock, by the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Common Serjeant, Aldermen
Sir C. Marshall and Lawrence, the Sheriffs, under-Sheriffs,
and the other authorities of the city of London.
It appears by the calendar that there are at present 216
prisoners for trial.
The Recorder, after the grand jury had been sworn, de-
livered a brief charge to them, in the course of which he
eapressed his regret that he could not on the present OCC,I
goo hold to them the language of congratulation which he
had expressed upon some recent occasions upon the
' lightness of the calendar, for he was sorry to observe
that the charges ;were not only very numerous, but were of
the meet serious character, and included no less than three
charges of murder. He said, however, that it did not ap-
pear to him that any of the eases were likely to present a
difficulty in a legal point of view, and therefore if the facts
should he mode out before the grand jury as they appeared
on the depositions, he apprehended they would feel it to
be their duty to return true bills in all re MIL,.
The grand jury then retired, and the court proceeded
to swear in the different panels of petty jury.

officer named Green (124), who resides in William's-build-
ings, Penrhyn-street, was leaving her husband's house to
fetch a pint of ale, she was attacked by three men and a
woman, who knocked her down and seriously maltreated
her. Her screams brought her husband to her amistanee,
and he, upon seizing hold of one of the men, was stabbed
with some sharp instrument behind, and afterwards in se-
veral other parts of the body. In the course of the affray a
neighbour named Jones went to the assistance of Green,

domen, so that his bowels protruded. Green held the
man by whom he had been stabbed until another police

He proved to be an Irishman named Patrick Sheen, who
resides in Oromhall-street. On the following day he was
taken before the magistrates, and remanded, in consequence

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctoct.
The railway share market opened with a very
heavy appearance to-day, and prices soon underwent
a reduction for nearly every line on the list, the re-
trograde movement being in many instances un-
usually rapid, and, in the cases of some of the
larger stocks, amounting to as much as V. to W. '
per share. Sanguine holders entertained great expec-
tations of the traffic receipts consequent upon the
Exhibition, even at this early period, and the non-
realisation of these anticipations in the re-
turns for the last week, has created a great
amount of disappointment, and led to a cor-
responding depreciation. The consideration, how-
ever, that the increase of movement is certain,
though still in perspective, the rush of visitors not
having yet commenced, exercises its duo influence,
and prices are now recovering, whilst the market has
assumed a steadier tone. The rates of " continua-
tion" to the next account rule much higher than
yesterday, and this affords a further explanation of
the heaviness of the market.

DOTS NOT manes 201.
This was an appeal front the decision of the judge of the
County Court for the county of Norfolk, held at Great
Yarmouth. The question for the opinion of the court was
whether the defendant, having obtained his certificate in
bankruptcy prior to judgment against him in the County
Court. was protected therefrom. The learned Judge of
the County Court had held that the bankrupt's certificate
was no protection against the judgment
, of his court.
Mr. Bramwell appeared on half of the appellant.
Mr. Willes, fur the respondent, objected that, as the
amount of the debt in the County Court, upon which the
defendant had been sued, was under 201., no appeal would
lie front the court below, inasmuch as the County Courts
13:tension Act, 3 & 4 Vie., cap. 61, see. 14, only gave an
appeal in cases where the amount was above 201.
The Court having referred to the set, decided that they
had no jurisdiction, and the appeal was accordingly dis-
missed. _ _

The share market to-day must bo considered good,
as the feeling is decidedly firmer than on Saturday.
and no further instance of depression has occurred,
whilst in several cases prices seem to have re-
sumed the upward tendency noticed far some time
past. The business is again of a lively character,
but it may be noticed that the purchasing and sell-
ing operations appear to-day, in the aggregate, to be
more nearly balanced than is usually observed. North
British and North Stafford shares have met with a
good manvtransactions at an improvement, eacb class
of shares having reached 12. Midlands, Great West-

large amount of attention, and extensive transactions
have been entered into, at a further marked rise in

the official manager and Mr. Gilmour fur sonic Scottish
shareholders. The of Mr. J. M. Dunhill, for whom
Mr. Uri:Murex attended, was placed on the list fur 540
shares, un its being proved in evidence that he signed the
deed and had a seat at the board of directors. Mr. Donlan
was the inventor of a new species of machinery for manu-
facturing hemp and flax, and made over to the company

tion to this it was stated by Mr. Owen, the official manager,
