READING.

Sir Henry Singer Keating, the newly-appointed
Soliettor•Oeneral, wee reelected yesterday without opposie
den. The proceedings were exeseffingly quiet.
Mr. J. B. HoNeX, of Coley Park, proposed, and Aldermen
Haulm seconded, the hos. gentleman, and no other candi-
data being proposed, the mayor declared Sir Henry Keating
duly elected.
Sir H. S. KEATING, OS rising, was wall received. After
thanking the electors for the honour they had for the fifth
time conferred upon him, he alluded to the course adopted
by the liberalmarty in ejecting Lord Derby's government
from beim. The liberals, is seder to fees thmrelves from
that roprosch which was justly made against them—s want
of union—have Jenard together, and the result ham been the
formation of e g merumant which didiprar to embrace all
sections of the liberal party. Ho ho they would work
well for the benefit oaf the country. o doubt the position
of affairs was extremely critical, Lut still he hoped
government would steer the country eddy through them.
After stating that the prmont government would be extremely
anxious to miry out measures of law reform, he went on to
refer to the suaject of parliamentary reform. That there
would be a measure of parliamentary reform was beyond •
doubt, and a government which came into offim pledged to
parllernentioy reform must at once and immediately set about
the work. But then it must be remembered that government
took office at a eery late period of the sweion. There were
tinny tainga that regaled to be done and mat be done, and
be felt persuaded that at the earliest practical moment that
question would revive the attention of the minbery.
Whether the measure prop oun•led would inert the Vs s s
all wee doubtful; he ttought he might say it would not;
but still, when they did propose a immure of reform, it
would be a real and not a shun one. Of course in the
position be occupied be could not tell what that Reform Bill
would be, but he was sore it would be such ea one u the
country called for. (Applauee.)
A vote of thanks was then given to the mayor (Hr. C. J.
Andrewes), and the proceedinga terminated.

04biall 07 ILLUMATION.

List night Mr. and Mrs. Feed, after en absence of some
derallea, re-appeared at their old quarter", end were
posted wit► an enthusiutic reception from a crowded
amilmes. Their new entertainment is divided into
two paste—one called " The Home Circuit," and the
other, " &wide Studies." It is but just at once to state
that as a literary undertaking this last venture is in-
comparably I...feeler to all of its pre!ecatsors. Not one new
bit of character coons to lighten the dead weight of conven-
tionality—not etc gleam of nature illumines the murky
pas of stage-treatment from which this unfortunate close of
entertahusent wile, we had hoped, recovering. For instance,
at the assize town where the scene of " The Homo Circuit"
laid, we find a rhemb•rmald, called in the programme a
" dktiousry appendix," who uses the most preposterous
language, and is a fifth-rate Mrs. Malaprop, without her
ton ; we have a banister with the usual stage-forensic 'pent
beginning with " My Lud," and working up to a ridiculous
climax ; and we have a sailor in blue trousers and white
Ate., who cilia the Bret-class railway canisge the stern-
cabin, and the third class the faints, and who hitches his
trousers and performs all the timid evolutions. The re-
deeming feeture of this portion of the entertainment la a
clever song, " Let us all speak c car mind if wis die for
smartly written, and sung, and acted with such spirit and
piquancy by Mrs. Reed sa to gain an encore.
The second pert is merely the revival of the old "Illustra-
tion" of Mr. Rsed•s andsisbed opera, the scene of action
Wag removed to the ma-side, where he is peniscated by a
variety at bores, the best of whom, Sally Skaggs, Is ea old
semudatimos. This coarludes with a bravura dust, sung in
the meet superb style of taultsque.

CHINA.

It appears from Hong Kong papers of the 28th of
February that Lord Elgin did not start with the
expedition up the Canton river, but went in the
Furious to Hainan, for the purpose of inspecting the
new port of Kiang-chow, on the north side of the
island, and opposite the peninsula which runs out
from K wangtang. Unfortunately, however, the
eharta were found to be so imperfect, and the sound-
ings so uncertain, the Furious did not reach the new
port, or enter into the channel to the north of
Hainan. On its return to Hong Kong, examination
was made of several bays on the coast, and a visit
was paid to Bt. John's Island, near the mouth of the
western branch of the Canton river. _ _

No news had arrived of the progress of the expe-
dition up that branch of the river. It consisted of
six gun-boats and a small French steamer, with two
boom-boats and a hospital chop in tow, with the first
battalion of Royal Marines on board. Its point of
destination was Shan-king-fa, one of the most im-
portant cities of the province after the capital, and
formerly the seat of the provincial authorities, till
these were removed to Canton, is order to keep the
foreigners under control.
The Overland CAina Mail says :
The Hon. Mr. Bram Is impeded out, and it is generally
believed that Canton will not be retained in our military
possession long after his Installation ss ambassador at Peking,
' even should the indemnity not be then forthcoming. Canton
has bean quiet of late, and no objection has been offered to
the expeditions Made in its neighbourhood; but the country
is by no means safe for foreigners unprotected by a military
form. We understand, on good authority, that Hwang-
tsuog-han, the governor-general of the Two Hwang, is
shout to be deposed, and that it is determined to give the
office he now holds to Ho Kwei-Ling, governor-general of
the Two Kiang, sni lately engaged in the revision of the
tariff and trade regulatkas.
Business has been dull here daring the last fortnight, but
brisker, especially in Imports, at Canton.
There has been a panto at Fuh-chart in the native money

market, owing to iss of ccandence in government paper-,

ment of actin [assistant-judge of errerim of Swat, where he

Mary, his wife, ought be dissolved, on the gimlet of her

Sandwith kit the house of her husband end wept on board •
native boat with a Mr. John James Carey, an enenser con-
nected with the Baroda Railway, and proceeded with him to
Bombay, remaining on board three days andaighter. It was
shown by the evidence, which wet taken in India, and wee
now brought in a prioted form before the house, that they
occupied one eabin together all the way to Southey, and that
they &Ramat& cohabited togetlur openly in adultery, at
other Owen. It appeared that the following letter was writ-
ten jest before her departure by Mrs. Sandwith :
William,—May God Almighty blue you for all your
kindness to one to unworthy as myself, and may Re is LW
mercy ice give me for leaving you. Do not follow ma, Wil-
liam, it is no use ; I inn never be your wife again_ • we meet

TAB STOOK BICCJIANON AND TBB FUME

adios.

On Tuesday a numerously attended meeting of pro-
prietors of the Stock Exchange took place, in con-
sequence of a requisition from certain members of
standing, who urge that the managers ought to
establish a similar arrangement with regard to tele-
graphic communication with the Paris Bourse to that
which has been adopted by the latter establishment.
The syndicate of the Paris Bourn have effected an
arrangement with the telegraph company, with the
sanction of the Minister of the Interior, by which
the opening prices of Consols daily obtain
precedence over other messages. It is con-
tended that a similar arrangement ought to
be adopted by the London Stock Ex
with regard to the prices of the French funds.
Norman Wilkinson moved, and Mr. George E.
Seymour seconded, a resolution to this effect, and
urged strongly the closeness of the relations be-
tween the Pans and London markets, and the great
interest which is felt in the changes in the former.
The resolution, however, was negatived by a large
majority, chiefly, as it would appear, upon the
narrow ground that its adoption might involve
similar applications for the official transmission of
time the other continental markets, to the
of the profits of the proprietors. This col-
won results from a defect in the constitution of the
Stock Exchange, which is not, as it ought to be, a
club, supported by the members. The latter are
merely subscribers, whereas the proprietorship of the
building rests with a joint-stock company, the shares
in which are held by a section of the members. Anta-
gonistic interests are consequently involved where
none ought to exist. The shareholder wishes to get as
large a dividend as possible, whilst the subscriber
wishes for as mach accommodation as possible. The
fact that the shares of 1001. are now considered
to be worth about 2201., would appear to indicate
that the former might at least yield to the repre-
sentations of the latter upon a question of a moder-
ate expense like that under dispute. The position
of the affair does not accord with the spirit shown
in the management of other modern commercial
bodies, and is calculated to confirm the impression
that the arrangements of the Stock Exchange do
not keep pace with the progress of the times.
Hitherto a number of members have clubbed
funds, provided the Paris telegrams at their
own expense, and posted them up for
the general benefit. They have now, however,
intimated that from the Ist of May they will cease
to do so. The result of the illiberality of the pro-
prietors will then probably be the exposure of the
members to much inoonvemence. Some persons will

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The official journal of the Moldavian cabinet,)
which is published at Islay, publishes the pro-
gramme of the new ministry. The members of that
body declare that they will constantly aim at carry-
ing out the reforms which have been pronounced
necessary, at the same time that they will uphold
the rights guaranteed by the Treaty of Paris. The
points which they intend having more particularly
in view are—equality before the law ; liberty of the
person; abolition of exemptions and monopolies;
attention to the walrus of the inhabitants; exten-
sion of education; and encouragement to agrisul-
tare;commerce, and manufactures.
Advice. from Bucharest of the 4th state that

1,000 Moldavian troops had arrived in that capital,
and that a similar number of Walachian soldiers
had entered Jamey. The object of the exchange of
residence is stated to be, first, to accustom the men
to more rigorous exercise, such as was necessitated
by the march between the two capitals, and next, to
give a stronger idea to the world of the intimate
union of the two countries.

Mr. Reuter has received the following telegram:
"BUCHAREST, APRIL 12.

"An infernal machine, apposed to be destined
for the aasaveimation of Prince Cloaca, has been dis-
covered, and seven persona have been arrested."

Congress is necessary and urgent for the resolution
of the Central Italian question, but that u the Con-
ference may last some time, and the Congress cannot
sit till after the Contereece has closed, it would be

i k ;li

Lyrenroot.—Yesterday the election of members
for the Town Council of this borough took plsor, and the
event pared off without any of those party brawls which,
unfortunmely, have so bespattered the elections of former
years. Of °Guise the election bad its parties." The wise
sought in some of the wards to oust the more advanced and
liberal candidates, but were signally unsuccessful; while the
liberals held their ground, and also managed to curtail the
tory element by securing a few ward[ which hitherto have
been represented by the "ancients." There were contests in
nine were.

MAN fEESTEII.—There was a rather more spirited
contest than fur some year. past, but there was no attempt
to give it a political commie:hut in any of the wards. Amongst
the new rumba* elected is Mr. Edward Watkin, late M.P.
for Yarmouth. The fierceet battles were is St. Ann's and
Ardwick wards. In the letter ward Mr. Rutzney bee been
displaced by Mr. Hardy, a new man ; and in St. Ann's ward
Mr. Penny was said to have 248 voti SI and Kr. Fitzgerald
247, but one or the former's votes le doubtful, and in cue
it is elected on a scrutiny there may have to be another
election.

SALFORD.—There were only four contests in this
borough, end the elections did not create much interest.
OXFORD.—In two of the wards there was no con-
test; to the other three spirited contests were going on
throughout the day. The two gentlemen who headed the
poll in the East and South ward. were elected ageirott their
will, expressed in haedbille distributed throughout the city.
All those elected are of moderate principles, except one who
belongs to the radical party.
SOUTEIAIIPTON.—The municipal elections here
have been the moat exciting that have ever been known since
the Test and Corporation Act was abrogated. Every ward
' was keenly 4:unmated. Sick and dying men were. brought
op to vote, and maths and pleated* appeared, Just se at
• parliamentary election. Elation robe, carrying voters to
end front the polling places, here been about in great num-
bers throughout the day. After the elections were over,
liege were hoisted and the church bells set naging by the
victorious faction,. The divided state of the liberal party,
and the activity which this causes amongst the conserva-
tives, go far to explain the extraordinary excitement which
has then witnessed. Several new members of the town
council have been elected, but the liberal party hove gained
one on the whole elation.. The following are the names of
the new members of the common council—sox.. Messrs.
Aadrews (tea ol the late Alderman Itichard Andrews),
O. N. Cathay, Bishop, Cocks, Brinton, Rogers, T. P.
Payee. Fomenter, Carter, Emanuel, and Bartlett. The
cogent kw mayor, on the 9th inst., will be a very severe one.
To arrow the state of education in Southampton, it may be
tuatioesd, that u many as it persons who voted in one of
the wards were unable to write their names.

TUSCANY.

The Tuscan government has by a decree of the
23rd ult. vffered a prize of 1,600 f. for the best solu-
tion of the following questions:-1. What does the
malaria of marshy countries consist in? 2. Is it
only emitted by wet surfaces, or also by dry ones ?
3. In the latter case, what is the physical or chemi-
cal constitution of the soil that produces it ? 4. Is
the miasma only a result of the mixture of sea and
river water, or is it derived from an infinity of mi-
croscopic insects? The essays in reply to these
questions are to be tent in to the committee ap-
pointed to examine them within or before the month
of December, 1860.
