NORTH-WEST Essex.—Lord Rusts", Cecil has
Issued a brief address to the electors of the north-western
division of the county of Baser, offering himself as a can-
didate in the conservative interest at the next election.
His lordship says—" As I hope at a future time to address
you upon political subjects, I will now only ask you for a
renewal of that confidence which the electors of South
Boer placed in me in 1866."
BERK/MAIL The Hon. Auberon Herbert,
brother to the Karl of Carnarvon, who, upon the invi-
tation of a portion of the leading members of the liberal
party in Berkshire, has met them several times lately, has
just addressed a letter to one of hie political friends in
Newbury, in which he urges the desirability of the liberal
party working unitedly, and recommends that a general
meeting should appoint a committee to consider the expe-
diency of fighting for one or two seats, and also to select
the proper candidates. He has no doubt the party would
set themselves to carry out the decision of the committee
with spirit and discipline. "And now," says Mr. Herbert,
" one word about myself as a candidate. Should you decide
(as you probably will do) to fight for the two seats, I
feel I am disqualified from circumstances for coming
forward as one of your candidates. The expense of my
share in a contest would be far beyond the means at my
disposal. Perhaps I ought further to remind you that my
church views are not such is are likely to recommend me
to a portion of your constituency." In conclusion the
hon. gentleman expresses his hope that Berkshire will
bear her just share in sending up to the new House of
Commons a liberal majority—not merely existing in name
as at present, and with a disposition to embarrass rather
than support their leader, bat a majority that will
steadily supply sufficient force to carry the great measures
which have been too long delayed or denied to the
country.
NORTH WILTS.—Mr. R. P. Long, the conser-
vative member for this division, who has represented
North Wilts since 1865, has announced his intention not
to offer himself for re-election. The Marquis of Worcester,
eldest son of the Duke of Beaufort, will be a candidate
for the seat vacated by Mr. Long. Sir George Jenkinson
has also announced his intention of coming forward as a
conservative. The liberals have not yet made any sign,
but there is little doubt that Lord Charles Bruce will
sobs solicit the suffrages of the electors.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland at Belfast, after • lenirthensd discus-
sion, has passed a resolution, on the motion of the Rev.
Dr. Co3ke, forbidding instrumental music in Divine
worship.
THe 51 ORDER OF A POLICII qNSIPECTOII.—Yeater-

minster, held an inquest at St. George's Hospital, relative
to the death of Inspector Daniel Bradstock, aged 46 years,

street Police-station. Inspector David Baldwin, A divi-
sion, identified the body of the deceased as that of an in-
spector of the same division. He wuonduty at the King-
street station on the 7th of May. About half-past ten in
the evening a man named James Smith was brought in
charged with breaking two drinking glasses at the Mitre
and Dove public-bowie in King-street. When the charge
was entered the prisoner shouted out "Murder, murder,
they are after me !" He seemed to be qaite sober, but
witness thought that be might be suffering from deririum
tremens, and sent for the divisional surgeon. The prisoner
was asked whether he bad a knife in his possession, and
he said that he had not, but gave up a large pair of
scissors. Witness bad nothing more to do with him. The
police surgeon came, and saw the prisoner, and directed
that he should be strictly watched. A man was therefore
placed in the cell to watch him. Alexander Brown,
12 AR, deposed at on the morning of the Bth of May,
at a quarter past one o'clock, be was on duty at the /Ling-
street police-station, and he went with Inspector Brad-
stock to visit a prisoner named Smith, who was locked up
in one of the cells. The prisoner requested the inspector
to fetch him some water to drink. and the inspector lifted
up • small tin can that was in the oell, and giving it to
witnesstold him to get some water. Witness went for
the water, and gave it to the deceased, who went in to
the cell, and gave it to the prisoner. The latter made a
violent rush at the inspector with the Warners ,
produoed. The inspector called out to wiiiess to
lay bold of him. Witness rushed in to the cell, and
laid hold of the prisoner and gave him over to another
constable. The prisoner when making the rush at the
inspector cried out several times, "I will kill you, I will
kill you." stabbing at him as be said so. The inspector
was taken to the Westminster Hospital immediately after,
where he was found to be suffering from two severe
wounds, from the effects of which, erysipelas having set
in, he died on the 2nd instant. The jury returned a ver-
diet of "Wilful murder" against Smith. Tbs foreman
said that the jury desired to know how it was the; the
man Smith was not searched before being put into the cell.
Inspector Baldwin said that the prisoner was not charged
with felony, and none are searched unless so charged. He
1 pve up one pair of scissors, but be retained two pairs on
I his person. The Coroner said that now that the verdict
was returned he desired to pay • proper tribute to the
, memory of the deceased whom he always found to be a
most efficient and meet respectable officer. A warrant
was then issued for the detention of amused nntilhis trial.
