S ISORD.—Lut evening Mr. Cobden addressed a
meeting at tha Meclunica' Institute, and stated, in discourse
of his speech, that he had accepted an invitation to Mind for

SHEFFIELD.—The conservative candidate, Mr.
Overend, Q.C., is trying to make way in this coastlines:try
by nitres-meat gradenions of faith in Lord Palmerston. On
Monday he aidsemed a large open-air meeting, in Paradise-
WIN% ShaffiaM, sled declared be was no Derbyite. Lord

loved that be and Mr. Roebuck were some allied in ratifies
than woe the bigoted sectarian Mr. Hadfield. He trusted
that the people of Sheffield would elect him (Mr. Overend)
and Mr. Roebuck. On a show of hands about oner.hird of
the meeting declared in favour of Mr. Overend.
SALISSURY.—A third candidate has entered the
Geld, in the person of Mr. Janice Campbell, who is in favour
at extending the borough sulfa" the ballot, and of Mr.
Locke King's motion, and opposed to church rates and the
grant to Meynooth.
Susszx (EAST).—The tory exchequer in this divi-
sion appears to be in a distreesed condition. The following
circular shows that for the expenses of the struggle just con-
cluded the mousy has yet to be raised
"Coombe, Lewes, March hth, 1851.—The mode in which
the expenses incurred in conducting Lord Pevensey's elec-
tion are to be met has of course been under the serous con-
sideration of hie friends. You may be aware that there was
an understanding when first Lord Pommy wee asked to
mme forward for the county that his expense should be
limited to • OCT6IIII rum; he will probably have to defray an
amount exceeding that sum. Also, owing to the now pro-
longed contest, the expenses will, it is feared, exceed that
amount ea well so the subecripbrons already promised. Should
no more be forthcoming, all the expenses incurred will be
paid, but it will probably be at the met, beyond their rub-
ecriptionl, of only one or two members of the committee.
Under these circumstances, it is kit right that the state of
the case should be privately mentioned to those gentlemen
wLo are supposed to feel an interest in maintaining the con-
servative charmer of our representation; that they may
thus have the opportunity, in any proportion they please, of
assisting in hewing this necessary burden. Any suWaiption
or any answer it is requested may be addressed to me."
TOW= Hammers.—A number of the most influ-
ential liberal electors of the Tower Hamlets are taking steps
to get up &requisition to A. 8. Ayrton, Req., who contested
the borough at the last panel election. Mr. Aynose, in a
letter ban elector of great influence, rays he beano objection
to become a candidate for the representation of the borough,
if there is a sufficient manifestation of feeling on his behalf.
WORCESTER, TUESDAY.—The requisition which
was in course of signature last Saturday, in favour of Sir
Morton Pete, ia withdrawn. Alderman Sidney arrived from
London this afternoon, and attends a public meeting of the
electors to-morrow to explain his principke.
WARWICKSHIRE (SOCTII).—Mr. E. Shirley again
offers himself. It is said that his colleague, Lord Guernsey,
retires. In that event Sir G. Mordaunt has been mentioned
as successor to his lordship.
Wfisr ItiniNG.—The following it Mr. Cobden's
farewell address :

TO THE ELECTOR,* OF THE WEST RIDINO OF T0E....
Gentletnen,—Although at the last election I made an un-
equivocal declaration of my intention to withdraw from the
representation of the West Riding at the close of the free
trade contems—a determination which I have since repeatedly
communicated to the chairman of my committee—yet I
should be wanting in courtesy to you, and fail to do justice
to my own feelings, if I allowed our political connection to
be breught to a silent close. Elected your repremmtative in
parliament, without solicitation or expectation, when a
thousand miles distant from England, I dissolved, vay re.
luctantly, my connection with the of • ..sed to
enable you to give en emphatic ex dedlesbemat to
the route of commercial freedom. ran the neseneed how-
ever, when the free trade policy wog no low eppeend by '
any political party in the country, I felt that way sestien
which led to my having become the rvemegiiiiifibe et
your most important electoral district has whey actual.
For to one who, like myself, takes an active interest la dm
leading public questions of the day, it, offersno adveminge In
be elected for the largest of our constitumnies. Oa ream.
Vary, it involves the additional labour of much be ad
private business, and a great increase of coru7
that terrible ca the time of public men. c=
mar any compensating rank or privilege in the demos of
partiententary hfe. The Rouse of Commons is a prefr
ppuabl whme each member's position b decided Ifs own
Intrifao qualities, and his arguserts desire sates Qom
the weight of the body whom he represena. Lard john
Russell would be equally our first &heir_ , whether he sat
for London or Tanstack. It is tree eta a wery, different
rule applies to the votes of the members heosnetitnen-
cies, for they arm to indicate the MEET or
later, the government must pursue. Ig:7as with the *seep-
non of hoe trade, my honourable easier sad wall are
generally opposed on the great questions of the day, I am
deprived of Ow satisfaction of feeling that my vats has any
weight in the decisions of the legislature. la t
my Intention of restoring into your hands the truriell
which you honoured me, it only remains for me to tender
you my congratulations on the results of the struggle which
&et made me acquainted with the population of the West
Riding. It is little more than fifteen year. ranee, upon the
defeat of your justly popular candidate by the protectionist
party, the free traders rallied for the recovery of the riding.
In this short interest of time we have witnessed the novena
of that verdict, net only in our district, but throughout the
whole empire, and we have had the unprecedented good for-
tune of winning even opponents to our principles and seeing
every trace of resentment or sense of wrong or suffering ob-
literated from their memory ; thus substituting for the selfish
pleasure of a party triumph the purer satisfaction of having
elected an act of univemal beneficence. It will ever be a
source of grateful happiness to me that my name was per •
mined to be associated with your great constituency in the
achievement of so good a work.—And I have the honour to
remain, your obedient humble servant, RICE•iID CODDLE.
38, Grosvenor-street, London, March 16, 1867."
YAnmorrnr.—Tho Berry Post says:—" On Wed.
nesday (to-day) a meeting of electors only will be held at the
Corn Ezehange, and on Friday evening another public
meeting will be held at the same place. l'p to this
moment the conservative party have not ventured to call a
public meeting of any kind, and the only way in which the
electors have been at present introduced to their candidates
is by means of the canvass. A private meeting of the con-
servative., to the number of some sixty voters, was held on
Monday but ; but reporter. were not admitted, and the ad-
dl.:sae. woe both few and brief, the principal object appa-
rently being to get a canvassing party together. There can
be no question, whatever the result of the election may be,
there never yet has been so much popular feeling in favour
of the liberal candidates sines the palmier time* of Anson
and Rumbold, in the reform days."

THE THAMES Teo AND LIGHTERAGE COMPANY.—
On Saturday last a number of gentlemen intended In the
company lately formed for conducting the lighterage busi-
ness on the Thames made a trial trip with the first of the
new tugs intended for this service. The boat, which an-
swered in all respeete the ezkactatlona formed in regard to
her capkilitica, was built by Weems. Bailey, Westwood,
Campbell, end Co, of Poplar, and fitted with engines of 60
hareem' power by Messrs. James Watt and Co. It is in-
tended to have several of these small, but powerful, tug
camels, drawing very little water, so as to enable them to go
up the river without difficulty to the new ducks at Brentford
and Teddington Lock, where the goods traffic of the Great
Western will find its future outlet to the Thames. It is
siular that, with ell the improvements which have been
made in locomotion, the ligbtersge busineee has continued
in the sane state as it wee a hundred years ago, the barges
still drifting up end down with the tide, thereby causing
the greeted uncertainty as to the time of delivering the
mod valuable merchandise. The Thames Tug and Lighter.

states of the lide; thus learning the prompt delivery of
goods various docks and wharves for which they may

total number of deaths registered in London, which in the
pevious weak wet 1,176, wee, in the week that ended Satur-
day last, 1,158. The number of births exceeded the number
of deatha by 488. Of the 1,168 persona who died, 673 were

and 785 girls, in all 1,644 children, were registered in Lon-
don. In the test corresponding weeks of the years 1847-58
the average number was 1,806.
CHARLES SIDYNER.—Mr. Stunner is not so well
since hie arrival at Wuhington as was expected. He is
obliged most of the time to keep a reclining or half-reclining
position, in consequence of the almost incessant pain in hh
spinal column, which is the reflex action of the wound on his
bead, indicating that the been has not entirely recovered.
This pain begins at the small of the back, and extends up to
the neck, producing also a nervous sennitiveneem in the region
of the shoulders and breast. If it were not for its persistency
during the bat ten months, Si* malady might, perhaps, be
likened to lumbago. It is as this account that be =not
