The announcement of the government defeat and
expected resignation was received in Sunderland (says the
Xe uya.tle ('hronitle) with considerable surprise, and amid
the excited political discuabions which milled in ull
quarters the vote of 3fr. Hartley, M.P., against the
government, was very freely canvassed. The leading ad-
vanced liberals held a consultation as to the propriety of
following the example of Birmingham and other places
in adopting an address to the government counselling an
appeal to the country, and we believe a meeting of the
abbociation will be held to discuss what meabures should ho
t.sken under the circumstances.

Mr. Henry Irving, private secretary to Mr. Cald-
well. has been appointed Colonial Secretary in Jamaica.
Dr. Eustace Smith has been appointed Physician
Extraordinary to the King of the Belgians.
THE REPRESENTATION OF SIIREWSBURT,—The
course pursued in the House of Commons by Mr. George
Tomline, the senior representative of Shrewatrary in par-
liament, has for some time past given great dissatisfaction
to a large body of his constituents, Mr. Tomline having
gained his election through the exertions of the liberals,
and having on all occasions when questions of great im'
portanoe have been at issue gone into the lobby
with the tones. On the receipt of the news of
the defeat of government on Tuesday, and the probability
of a dissolution of parliament being raised, a private
meeting of the more advanced liberals was held, and it
was resolved that at the next election a gentleman should
be brought forward in the liberal interest in opposition to
Mr. Tumline. The candidate indicated is a learned gen-
tleman connected with one of the courts of law in London,
whose name was brought forward in Shrewsbury at the last
general election, but at too late an hour for any action to
be taken to secure his return.
REPREOENTATION OF lIBRTFORD.—It is under-
stood that Mr. Robert Dimsdale, son of Baron Dimsdale,
will come forward in the conservative interest as a candi-
date for the representation of Hertford. Mr. Dimsdale
sonic years since unsuccessfully contested the borough in
opposition to the Right Hun. W. Cowper. No one has
yet been mentioned as a candidate in the liberal interest.
PRESENTATION TO VISCOUNT HALIFAX, G.C.B.—
We understand that the testimonial from the electors of
Halifax to Viscount Halifax, for thirty-three years one of
the representatives of the borough, will be presented to-
morrow. The ceremony will take place at the noble
lord's town residence, lielgrave-square. The delicate state
of his lordship's health precludes a public presentation.
The testimonial will be tendered on behalf of the electors
of Halifax by a deputation composed of Mr. John Crossley,
chairman of the testimonial committee ; Mr. William
Huntriss, treasurer ; Mr. William Foster and Mr. Smith-
son, secretaries ; Mr. Michael Stocks, and one or two other
members of the committee. The testimonial consists of •
valuable silver dinner service, the cost of which has been
1,0001., the whole of this sum having been raised by volun-
tary subscriptions. Upon the principal piece of the seniee
is an inscription stating that the presentation is made by
the Halifax constituency, in recognition of the long and
valuable services of Lord Halifax, as representative of the
borough since its enfranchisement, in 183'2. Upon each
piece are the arms of the viscount's family, and the inscrip-
tion—" The Gift of Halifax." The deputation have ac-
cepted an invitation to dine with Viscount Halifax after
the presentation. The arrangements for the presentation
were made at a meeting of the committee hold yesterday.—
