MR. GLADSTONE AND HIS OXFORD ELECTION
Eire/ism understand that at a meeting of Mr. G led-
dose's Oxford committee it was decided that the expenses
attending the bite Oxford Uoiveisity election sbouhi be
borne by his friends in accordance with precedent. The
University election, as far se Mr. Gladstone is concerned,
may therefore be regarded as a model for other condi-
tootles, as the supporters of that gentleman have given
weeks of their valuable time is his behalf, and have now
adopted the dignified course of paying his expenses.
Essix (Noatu.)—The rejeottou of Major Bore,-
ford (the " W.B" of 1852) is perhaps the unkindest cut
received by the conservatives during the mead diasolution.
The pliant major was returned for the division in 18t7 ; and
bee sot had any serious opposites offered to him for 18
years • in fact theliberals seemed to have considered it
almost a forlorn hope to make any attempt to displace
him. In the course of last peer, however, increased &tee-
thes was paid to the registrations, and the liberals pined
as 'may as 1,000 votes before the revising berrister.
Becouraged try this probably noexpooted uncross, the party
started Sir Thomas Waiters as their madidate, and have
ruoceadad in retuning him by • respectable majority. Sir
Thomas Weetern is the father of Hr. T. S. Waiters, who
has just lost his seat for Malden, and is • descendant of the
late Lord Western, who was for many years prominently
identified with Emez politics. In the late parliament
aim of the ten seats were held by conservatives, but
Gel/ eight ere now so occupied.
The REPRESENTATION OF LEOMINSTEIL—Mr.
thitherto Herd, being elected both for Leominster and the
University of Oxford accepts the latter honour, as be
intimated at Leotniaster that be should do if it was offered
him. Mr. it, Arkwright, of Hampton Court, bas conse-
quently offered himself as Mr. Hardy 's soothe/or. In his

THE ELECTION RIOT AT NOTTINGH AM. —At the
Nottingham SAMS'S on Saturday, Mr. Serjeget O'Brien, on
behalf of the promoution' made application to Mr. Justice
Bleckburn for • postponement of the trials of the prisoners
charged with riot at the late election, on the ground that in
the present excited state of the town a fair and impartial
trial could not be bad. A lengthened discuoicn took pleat,
and ultimately the trials were postponed until the next
assizes.
THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY.—A aprici%l meeting
of the proprietors of this company was held on Friday
afternoon, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriang
Mr. Wollaston in the chair. The revert stated the meets.
tore would remember that in 1864 special meetings were
held, when it was unanimously resolved to adopt an ogres-
ment between the Thames Tunnel Company and the promo-
ters of the East London Railway Company fur disposing of
the tunnel, and of a small portion of the adjoiciug property.
The substance of that agreement was, that the railway
company should pay to the tueuel company the sum of
200,0 M. ; 100,0001. of which was to be paid immediately
to the government as a composition for the debt and interest
**Jog, and the other 100,43001. to be paid by indahneets,
extending over • period of at least tea years. Notice bad
been given under the ter ens of the agreement that pones-
lion of the tunnel would be taken by the railway company
on the sth of September next. The object of the railway
company in taking such early possession was to arrange as
soon as possible for the transit of all materials across the
river, to some place of deposit on the south side. Much
public inconvenience to the traffic in the streets on the Mid-
dlesex side would thereby be avoided. By this early ps
session being taken, the 100,0001. to be pawl by the railway
company in instalmeate would become due at the earliest
periods possible. It would be obvious to the proprietors
that, the object for which the Thames Tassel Company
exists having come to se end, there could be no nee in em-
ending the cootinumee of the tunnel company itself.
