TEN INDIAN TARIFF. —The deputation from
North and South Lancashire, which recently waited on Sir
Charles Wood respecting the lodise tariff, held a meeting
at the Crown Oodeshouns, Bridge-street, Westminster,
yesterday, to confer on the answer they bad obtained from
Sir Charles, and to consider what further steps should
be taken under the circumstances. The deputy from Dar-
win presided, and the following resolutions were nasal-
mowdy adopted:—" That the deputation, whilst cordially
thanking Sir Charles Wood for the courteous manner is
which be received them, are at the same time sorry that hie
views at the Indian tariff were not of that comprehensive
character which would enable him to hold out to the de-
putation a hope of its speedy repeal." " That in the opinion
of the deputation now aseembled the reasons assigned by
Sir Clarke Wood in defence of the oontinuaoce of the
Indian tariff are unsound in theory, pernicious in practice,
and totally at variance with the spirit of the age in which
we live."
ELECTION OF SHERIFFS Or LONDON AND MIDDLII-
SEL—The Lord Mayor has issued his precept for the elec-
tion of sheriffs of London and Middlesex, 10 the room of
Mr. Sheriff Cookerell and Mr. Sheriff Twentyman, whose
term of office is drawing to a close. The nomination is
fixed to take place in the Guildhall on Tuesday next. It
had been suggested that two of the aldermen below the
chair, who have not served, should be elected, in anticipa-
tion of the honours which are likely to be conferred in
, November next, when the Priem of Wales will come of
age, but that idea bas been abmadated, as being Ramo-
' static to the privileges of the livery, and Mr. J. Clarke
Lawresem will therefore be the ally alderman elected.
For the office of junior sheriff it appears likely that there
will be a contest, there being two candidates—namely, Mr.
Hillary Nissen, stationer and publisher, of Mark-lane, who
has been ten years a member of the Common Council, end
Mr. H. Jones, mesa and spectacle maker, of Wood•street,
Chospiide, The newly appointed Sheriffs will enter upon
their duties on the 29th of September oa which day them
