NORTH DIVON.

The 4;x:don of a candidate in the room of the
Hon. C. R. Trefusis, who has beerielevated to the
by the death of his father, Lord Clinton, took place
Soathmolbon yesterday. Sir Stafford Northeete was the
only candidate, it having been determined by the leaders
of the liberal party in the division not to contest the seat.
The proceedings commenced at half-past 10 o'clock,
the hustings having been erected in the
square of the old county town. The hon. =st
was escorted to the hustings by a large number
of yeomanry and others on horseback, who were preceded
by a band of music and a few boys. The High Sheriff,
Sir J. Kennaway. presided, and the usual formalities
having been gcae through,
Mr. J. M. STEVENS nominated SirS. Northeote, and made
some remarks on the ineffectual attempts which had been
made by some of theliberals to bring out ViscountAmberley
and Mr. Drewe.
Mr. C. Cmiennerin seconded the nomination of the hon.
baronet, and there being no opposition the High Sheriff de-
clared Sir S. H. Northcote elected, amidst loud and gene-
ral applause.
Sir S. NORTECOTE addressed the meeting in a long
speech. He said he had been objected to by some as a
party man, but he cheerfully admitted that he was a party
man, and what was more, he was proud of it. (Cheers.)
The conservative party could always be relied upon in
times of difficulty. (Cheers and laughter.) They were not,
as had been said, a " retrograde party.* Their party was
not opposed to prowess, on the contrary, they were anxious
to see safe, moderate, and permanent progress ; but they
were determined not to ally themselves with those who
promoted schemes of democratic change and dangerous
revolution. (Cheers and hisses.) The hon. baronet
condemned the Franchise Bill, and his remarks upon
it were frequently interrupted by perecos in the crowd,
who said the conservatives had been opposed to all pro-
gress for half • century. This the hon. baronet denied.
He was mire that if the government bad set themselves
to work in a statesmanlike manner and bad brought in •
well-prepared measure it would have been carried.
[A 'VOICE : It will be carried now.] " No, it
won't," exclaimed the hon. baronet, amidst loud
cheers and laughter. With regard to the Redistribution
of Seats Bill, the hon. baronet would not say whether it
was a good or bed bill, but this he said, that it could not
possibly be carried this session, and it was • bill that took
away more from their (the conservative) party than from
the liberals. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He recom-
mended the government to take back both bills, and bring
in a well-prepared measure early next session. If they
did this they need not fear that It would not be carried.
(Cheers.)
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
High Sheriff.

AQUATICS.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The
race of the Derby is to be succeeded by the great and novel
feature of a Channel match from the /gore Light to Dover
harbour on the 21st of May. This race is open to schooners,
luggers, yawls, and cutters—luggers to class withschooners
—for three prizes, value 1001., Ml., and 501., one for each
rig ; the first of either class arriving at Dover to receive
the moat valuable prize. The contest is not confined to
the Royal Thames Yacht Club, but yachts of any royal
club are eligible. The entries are to close on the 17th of
May, with Captain Grant, secretary of the Royal Thames
Yacht Club, at the Club-house, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, and are expected to comprise a fleet of the finest and
fastest yachts of every trim in the kingdom. The Royal
Thames opening trip will take place on Saturday, the 19th
inst. Yachts to assemble off the Union Yacht Club-house
at 1.30 p.m., to sail thence under the orders of Lord A.

INTERNATIONAL SCULLING MATCH. —James Ha-
mill, who has arrived in England from New York to make
a scuffing match with Henry Kelley, of London, the
champion oarsman of the world, has put himself under
the training of Henry Clasper, the well known veteran of
the Tyne, and he and his friends will leave Newcastle on
Friday for London to make the match with Kelley. Hs-
mill has a different style of pulling to our English oars-
men ;in fact it is more like paddling. He goes very fast.
Whether he has lasting powers to beat our best men has
to be tried, and is very much questioned.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE RACES. —The first
race of the "college eights" took place last evening, in
the presence of an immense number of spectators, who from
the fineness of the weather, and the interest created
by so many crews competing, were attracted to the banks
of the Isis. Upon the Jut signal gun being fired, the boats
started in the following order :-1. Brasencee ; 2. Exeter;
3. Trinity ; 4. Corpus ; 5. University ; 6. Christ Church ;
7. Wadham ; 8. Merton ; 9. Belliol ; 10. Pembroke ; 1L
Lincoln ; 12. Queen's • 13. Oriel ; 14. St. John's • 15. New
College ; 16. Worcester ; 17. St. Edmund Hall Exeter
gained on Brasenme ; but there appears every prospect of
the latter keeping the first position ; Corpus bumped
Trinity, and Pembroke bumped Belli*/ Wadhern were
close on Christ Church, but the latter just escaped. The
second rase will take place this evening.

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF LONDON. —The first
of the general exhibitions of flower; and fruit in the
gardens of this society for the present season took place
yesterday, and, owing to the fineness of the day, was
numerously attended. Amongst the distinguished visitors
were the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duchess and
Princess Mary of Cambridge, and Prince Teck (who were
received by the President, the Bishops of Winchester and
Oxford, Earl Mansfield, Sir W. Stirling, and other mem-
bers of the council), the Marchioness of Normanby, the
Countess of Cainsborough, Princess Soltykoff, Baroness
Rothschild, Earl of Sherborne, Baron Brunnow, Lords
Sefton, Sheffield, Lansdowne, Miss Burdett Coutts, Hon.
Mrs. Stonor, the Danish, American, Italian, Austrian,
Brazilian, Spanish, and Russian Ambassadors, &c. The
exhibition, which was an unusually fine one, took place in
the grand marquee, the plants being arranged is amphi-
theatre form upon the grassy mounds. The beautifully
bright and showy tints of the flowe'rs were admirably re-
lieved by judiciously placed Cape heaths, and numerous
other exotic plants celebrated for their foliage.
THE GATESHEAD MIIRDEE.—The police having
no more evidence, the coroner's jury have been obliged to
return a verdict of wilful murder against some person or
persons unknown, in the case of Sarah Melville, aged five
years, who was found cruelly murdered in • lane in the
neighbourhood of Carr's-hill, Gateshead, on the 13th of
April lest. The magistrates have also been obliged to dis-
charge the man sworn to by the other little girl of a simi-
lar age to the deceased, who had been brutally violated in
the same lane by two men some weeks before, as he proved
a good alibi. The series of extraordinary crimes—rick-
burning, rape, and attempted murder on • little child, and
the subsequent murder of • second little child, under cir-
cumstances of the greatest atrocity—all occurring within
• short time of each other, in the suburbs of • large town,
in the immediate neighbourhood of housing, and within •
radius of little more than half a mile, appears to be com-
pletely enveloped in mystery, and the perpetrators seem
likely to escape justice, as the police have discovered no
trace of them. But for the fact of the little girl who was
violated having stated that two men perpetrated the
offence upon her, the circumstances that surround thee,
mysterious crimes would lead to the inference that they
i had been committed by a maniac.

THE FINANCIAL PANIC.

The great moral which the Times draws from the finan-
cial panic is that money is really not worth 30 per cent.
A delusion upon this point was the source of the specula-
tions which are now proving so unfortunate. Owners of
money handed it over to organised finance companies with
the expectation of receiving four or five times the amount of
interest usually returned. The finance companies, bound to
exact these rates of interest for the satisfaction of the share-
holders, were compelled to make corresponding reductions iu
thequalityof the securities obtained for their advances, and
the result is what we now see. It is not to be assumed, and
is probably not the fact, that any great proportion of these
advances has been lost. The money is not lost, but it is
locked up, and that, at a moment when it is imperatively
! needed, is almost ea bad. Of course the difficulty is com-
plicated and aggravated by tho calamitous prospect of
European war, which depreciates ruinously tho funds and
j securities of the states embroiled, and necessarily acts in
i some degree upon the whole money market at home. But
the depression thus created is comparatively alight, and
will not explain the condition of the finance market.
Practically, the speculator looks only at the actual
price of the shaven, and thinks nothing of the
continuer of further demands, but when a panic

CLOSING OF TEE CONSOLIDATED BANK
(LIMITED).

The daily journals this morning publish the fol-
lowing

The undersigned Directors of the Contendslied
Bank (Limited), not having had time to com-
municate with their oolleagues, have taken on
themselves the grave responsibility of dosing it as
the only just and honourable course under the fol-
lowing circumstances :

In their recent arrangement with the Bank
of London the directors determined from the
first to undertake no liabilities on behalf of
that bank except such as were fully covered
by available assets placed in their hands ;
but they have since found that serious errors
existed in the list of assets submitted to them, in
consequence of which they felt compelled yesterday
evening to give notice to the Beak of London that
they no longer held themselves bound by the
arrangement.
At the same time a suit was commenced
in Chancery to have it.• declared that the
arrangement involved an undue preference of
certain classes 01 the creditors of the Bank of
Loudon, and an interim order was made by the
court on that principle, notwithstanding that the
undersigned had been advised by two eminent
counsel that the arrangement was not open to such
objection.
The difficulties arising out of this state
of things, combined with what had already been
done under the arrangement, have occupied the
earnest attention of the undersigned during the
whole of to-day, and they have been led to the
painful conclusion that it would not be
possible longer to conduct the business of the Con- 1
solidated Bank in the face of these difficulties
without contracting further engagements to an ex-
tent which would have oompromised the interests
of their own customers and shareholders.
The undersigned have the satisfaction of stating
that they have ample assets of the Bank of London
available to meet all obligations actually incurred
by this bank under the recent arrangement. Apart
from that arrangement, the Consolidated Bank was
financially so strong that no difficulty would have
been experienced in conducting its operations,
and the directors have now in their hands the
whole of the assets of this bank in an almost imme-
diately available form.

(THIS DIY.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Sittings in Brno.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and

Justices Bbickburn, Mellor, and Mee.)
The court took the cases in the enlarged rule paper.
BRIANT V. JOHNSON.
Mr. Hannen showed cause against • rule obtained by
Serjeant Atkinson calling upon the plaintiff to show
cause why an award made in his favour should not
be set aside on the ground that the arbitrator
had acted improperly on ex parte evidence without
giving the defendant an opportunity of answering
it. The plaintiff and defendant are both surgeons. The
defendant met with certain injuries by • railway accident,
and he was attended by the plaintiff. He brought an ac-
tion against the railway company which was oompromised
by t►e payment of 2,5001.. After that the plaintiff sent
the defendant his claim for surgical attendanoe, which the
the latter disputed on the ground that it was contrary to
the etiquette of the profession of one medical gentleman
to charge another for profeseional services, but that be
was ready to pay the plaintiff any coats out of
pocket. The claim was ultimately referred by
arrangement between the parties to Sir W. Ferguson
and Mr. Tatham, and the objection to the award and on
which the rule was obtained was that the arbitrators had
acted upon letters which the defendant had not seen.
The plaintiff, however, contended that the course of pro-
ceedings on receiving these letters was acquiesced in by the
defendant, and that it was only when he ascertained that
the award was against him that he made this objection.
The main element of the inquiry was whether a charge of
medical expenses was included in the damage paid by the
company, and the correspondence referred greatly to that.
Every opportunity was given to the defendant to answer
the correspondence referred to.
Mr. Serjeant Atkinson contended that the defendant had
not had sufficient time to answer the correspondence which
put him out of court.
Mr. Hannon said the defendant had every opportunity
given him of answering the letter, but be declined to do so.
The court discharged the rule with costs.

CATTLE DLSEABES ACT.

31r. BEAD asked the Secretary of State for the Rome
Department it the slaughtering powers of the Cattle
Diseases Act would bo continuod after the 3rd of August;
and if any modification of the orders in council restricting
the movement and the trade in cattle was contemplated, in
consequence of the decline of the cattle plague; and if he
could inform the house how the Cattle Diseases Act was
being carried out in Cheshire, since by the het return it
appeared that IA out of the 21 asses of " recoveries" were
ire from the county of Chester'
trt:eIVALPOLE said with regard to the first part of the
question no modification was contemplated. With respect
to the second pert of the question he intended to bring in a
bill to amend the Cattle Plague Act on Thursday next.

THE CASE OF N. M. TOOKER.
Mr. EYKYN asked the Secretary of State for the House
Department whether his attention bad been called to the
circumstances under which Neville Maskelyne Toorner,
notwithstanding strong medical evidence in hie favour,
was convicted at the Berkshire Assizes, held at Abingdon
on the 11th of July last, and sentenced to 15 years' penal
servitude ; and whether her Majesty's government intended
to take any steps in regard to that sentence.
Mr. WALPOLE said his attention had only been indi-
rectly celled to the cane. The practice at the Home-office
was to wait until the convict, or some one in his
babel/applied to have his case taken into consideration.
He expected the case to which the hon. gentleman had
referred would be brought under his notice in a day or two,
and he would then give it his best attention.

TES HOP PLANTATIONS. —ROM/STIR, JULY 24.
—There is a steady improvement to report in the condi-
tion of the hop plants in most of the gardens, the bine still
pushing forward strong and vigorously, with the lateral
shoots well developed, and the plants coiring strung into
burr. In the slackest plantations • marked improvement
is observable, and from present appearances there is every
probability of a fair average crop being grown. The
latest reports from the principal bop growing
tricta of both Mid and East Kent describe the bine as
baring very considerably improved under the influ-
ence of the recent warm days and nights, and
although in many of the gardens blight has made its
appearance, the planters' prospects are on the whole very
favourable. In the district around this city, fly is
slightly on the increase, and the one or two cold nights
have been followed by an appearance. of honeydew.
There is, however, as yet no ground for apprehension, and
altogether there is every probability of both an early and
at the tame time a fair average yield. In the Sussex
plantations the hops continue to improve, and since our
last report there has been a marked decrease in the
quanttiy of vermin. The hop market continues firm, and
late prices are well maintained.

HOPEFUL PROSPECTS OF THE ATLANTIC

TELEGRAPH.

A telegram from the Great Eastern yesterday
announces that the bus is considered certain to be com-
pleted by Friday, and requests the Electric and Inter-
national Company in London to have everything in reatE-
ness for commencing at once the transmission of messages
for the public.
The deep water has now been passed. From yesterday
the ocean begins slowly but very steadily, to shallow.
From 2,400 fathoms its bed gradually time to 2,000, then
to 1,500, 1,200, 900, 700, and so on, till in Heart's Content
Bay, one of the most easterly spurs of rooky headland on
the south of Newfoundland, it will be landed in a depth of
some 50 fathoms. The place chosen for its landing is a
deep rocky inlet, very much of the some kind, though of
course on a much larger scale than that at Foilhommer-
hum. It is more sheltered than Ball's Bay, where the
cable of 1858 was successfully landed, just as this little
rocky cove is better suited than Valentin harbour, from
which it was then laid.
The route taken is about 30 or 35 miles further south of
the cable broken last year, so that in grappling for the
latter there may be no danger of catching up the new.
