The Bourse refuses to be reassured either by the
Constitutionne/ articles or the pacific telegrams
from Vienna, Frankfort, and Berlin. The military
movements in Italy excite uneasiness, and M. de
Bismarck's latest reported speech to a deputation
of burghers is construed as very far from excluding
the idea of war. Rente closed, with a fall of 10c.,
at 67fr. 50c. Mobilier fell 71r. 50c. ; Credit Fon-

A drama in a prologue and five seta, written by
M. Wedelns Soule, and produced at the Theatre de
l'Ambiga Comique on the 18th of May, 1843, under the
title of Asiatic Pmeois, has at length found an adapter in
Mr..Leieester. Buckingham, whose version was played at
the Olympic last night under the title of Laves Mar-
tyrdom Mr. Buckingham has followed the original
very closely, though he baa reduced the number of acts
to four, still retaining the prologue, and has introduced
several alterations which, re far as they go, are improve-
' ments, such am cutting out an attempted suicide, and work-
ing the villany of the piece with fewer villains. The re-
ception of the piece was good, and the applause at the
end would probably have been warmer if the last act had
not haw performed on a dark stage that was far too like a
• real thieves' cellar.

THE CHOLERA.—The following circular has been
addressed, by the direction of the Lord President of
the Council, to the local authorities at the various out.
ports in the United Kingdom : " Privy Council-office,
April 23.—Sir : I am directed by the Lord President of the
Council to request that you will call the attention of the
authorities at to the communications which, by his
lordship's instructions, were addressed to you from this
office in August, 1859, and subsequently in July, 1865, soon
after the cholera had broken out in Egypt and in Turkey
The progress which the disease has made in Europe since
the date of the last-named letter, and the fact that, from
information received to-day, cases of Asiatic cholera have
occurred at Rotterdam and in its vicinity, have again
called attention to the importance of not neglecting any
means of arresting the progress of the disease, if it should
be introduced into the United Kingdom ; and I am, there-
fore, directed to reiterate the precautionary suggestions
oontained in the abovementioned letters, and to repeat
the expression of a hope that means will be provided for
the reception and medical treatment of any poor seamen
or other persons who may, on their arrival in this country,
be found to be suffering from cholera.—(Signed) ARTHUR
Heise.—The Worshipful the Mayor."
INNS or COURT.—Wednesday, the 2nd of May,
has been appointed an extra day for the examination of
candidates for admission as students to the Inns of Court.
The other examination days for the remainder of the year
1866-7 are as follows :—April 28 ; May 5, 19, and 26 June
2, and 9 ; October 27, and 31 ; November 3, 10, 17, and
24 • January 5, 1867. The examination takes place in
loc the

An immense catch of fish was made on Saturday
evening by some Philadelphia fishermen, at what is known
as the Dutch fishery on the Delaware River. It was esti-
mated that between eight and ten tons were caught in a
sinee haul of the seine. The fishermen filled two ordinary
fishing smacks and one large market boat, and left at
least two tons on the shore, besidesthe large number
escaping, owing to a rise in the tide before they oould get
them out. The fishermen estimated the cash value of
their haul at three thousand dollars. The fish were prin-
cipally splendid rock, sixteen fine shad being among them.

lIIIRRESHNTATION OP NOTTINGHAM.

Two candidates have been decided upon by the
liberal party to represent their interests in parliament. A
large meeting was held on Tuesday evening, in the Ex-
change Hall, at which Dr. Ransom presided. Mr. W. A.
Richards stated that Mr. Handel Gingham would stand, if
it was agreeable to the meeting, as the representative of
the more extreme section of the liberal party. The other
individual was a nobleman, the eon of the staunchest friend
which reform ever had in this country—he meant Lord
Amberley. (Loud cheers.) The name of Mr. Walter, of
the Tines, had been mentioned. (No, no.) He thought
he ought to give Mr. Walter's reasons—they were very
simple. If Mr. Walter were to become a candidate he
would insist upon holding an independent position. He
would not pledge himself to support a liberal government ;
nor, on the other hand, would he himself
to support a conservative government. It was for them
to say whether they would have him. ("‘No.") Mr.
Cosehana was greeted with loud cheering. After a few
eurinary observations, he said they could not extend
rar esentation of the people too far for him. He had
full faith in the millions of adult melee of the country.
But while he had faith in them, he was prepared to ad-
mit that there were some timid people who had not. He
knew that all reform must be in the future, as it had been
in the past, gradual ; but while reform in England
had always been gradual, it was always certain. He
believed that all the future prosperity of the country
would depend on having the safety of the country
placed on as broad a basis as possible. It was said
that the working classes were not intelli4=
=h axareise the french:he. if they were not,
to
was somebody to blame. They bad a state there
that expended five millions • year to teach the people.
They had education in every parish, and, in the name of
common sense, had the people made no progress ? Had
the clergymen and the teachenpreached for nothing? Then
if the people had made progress why not give them votes
One of the greatest arguments against the Reform Bill was
that the working men sometimes joined in strikes. Now
he held that strikes were injurious to both men and
masters, but he should admit that the men had as much
right to combine to increase the value of their labour
as the misters had to increase their capital.
He declared himself in favour of ecclesiastical
reform, not because he disliked the church of England,
but because he thought that no man ought to pay for
another man's religion. He was opposed to church rates
on that ground. The danger to the church of England
was not to be apprehended from those without it so much
as those within it ; the danger arose from those in the
church who ware striving to make it analogous to popery.
He believed the church of England to be stronger now
than it was thirty years ago, and that its clergy were more
powerful for good, and he believed that when the church
was freed from the state she would be more powerful than
she ever had been. (Cheers.) The names of Handel Cos-
sham and Lord Amberley were then put conjointly and
'carried with immense cheering. It has not yet transpired
who the conservative candidate will be ; that party has,
however, promised to bring one forward.
