We understand that Mr. Abel Smith will be a
candidate for Hertfordshire, in the room of Sir E.' B.
Lytton, about to become Lord Lytton of Knebwarth. Mr.
Abel Smith was formerly one of the conservative members
for the county, for which he lost his seat at the last
election. It is not likely that he will be opposed.—Sinufay

An open-air meeting in favour of reform was held
by the working men of Reading on Saturday evening in the
Yorbury Recreation Ground, and attended by about 2,000
"Vabdressed mechanics and artisan'.
W. . B. BEAUMONT, M.P. AND THE LIBZII4LA
OF WENT YOSENHIRE.—At a meeting of the prism'
liberals of the Dewsbury polling district, held on Th -
day evening, the conduct of Mr. W. B. Beaumont, M.P.,
on the reform question was taken into consideration, and
the following resolution is to be sent to the agent of the
West Riding Liberal Registration Association, Mr. Gable-
ford, of Sheffield :—" That as the recommendation of can-
didates in the liberal interests for the southern division of
the West Riding devolves to a large extent upon the
Liberal Registration Association, the Dewsbury polling
district is of opinion that it is not desirable that W. B.
Beaumont, Esq., M.P, should be allowed to continue as
chairman of the central committee after the votes he has
given in direct opposition to the late liberal government,
and it is desirable that the central committee should take
the earliest opportunity of expressing its disapprobation of
his conduct by selecting a fresh chairman sad leader."
The resolution is to be submitted to the general body of
liberals in the West Ridin_g for adoption.
LORD DUNKELLIN, M.P., AND ma AMENDMENT.
—Lord Dunkellin, M.P., in replying to a letter from Mr.
W. C. Daws, bon. sec. to the Norwich Small Tenements
Committee, observes:—" The object of the amendment
which I proposed on the fifth clause of the R• presentation
of the People Pill was to establish the principle of rating
as the proper basis on which to fix the borough franchise
in opposition to rental. It did not at the moment seek to
establish any particular amount of rating, but after this
principle had been adopted by the committee, it would
have been in the power of the government, or indeed of
any member of the house, to have proposed • 5/. rating
franchise, and if this proposition had been accepted (as in
my belief not improbably it would have been), the effect
would certainly have been to have given a vote to the man
whose position you describe in your letter, and who by the
government scheme would certainly have been left without
one." Mr. Dews was of opinion that Lord Dimkellin's
amendment would have brought the franchise down much
lower than Mr. Gladmone's bill, at any rate so far as Nor-
wich was consented.
OFFICIAL Etreouremzwee.—The Earl of Derby
bas appointed Mr. Herbert Murray, of the Treasury, to
be one of his private secretaries. Mr. Murray was private
secretary to Sir John Paldngton, at the Admiralty, daring
the last conserrtiv? administration. Mr. Cyril Graham

has been—atp—pointed private secretary to the Earl of
Cantarvaa, Secretary of State for the Colonies
Mr. William Peel has been appointed private secre-
tary to General Peel, Secrctaiy of State for War.
We understand that the Earl of Dalkeith, M.P. for the
county of Edinburgh, will be the new Secretary of the
Admiralty. Mr. Ralph Earle, M.P. for Msldon, will be
the parliamentary secretary to the Poor-law Board
in the new administration. The Civil Lordship of

the Admiralty will, we believe, be filled' by
Mr. Charles Du Cane, M.P. for North Essex.
Notwithstanding that some of our contemporaries have re-
presented the new Treasury Board as complete, we believe
that no arrangement has yet been concluded for filling the
Scotch and Irish lordships. Mr. Noel's appointment to
the English junior lordship is the only one that has been
made. It is announced that Mr. Jones, at present sub-
librarian British Museum, has been appointed to succeed
Mr. Panixsi as principal librarian. It is, however, under-
stood that the appointment is, to a certain extent, pro-
visional, and not to affect any subsequent arrangements.—
