Mr. R. T. Lerner, surgeon, seconded the nomination.
No other candidate being proposed, the Mayor diselend
Mr. Cuhas duly elected.
Mr. COLES then proceeded to address the electors. He
said belied the distinguished honour of representing them
for ten years, and it was • curious coincidence that this day
fourteen years was the very day on which he was first re-
turoed. With regard to his political principles, he should
be unfit to Mend there sod ask them for their suffrages, if
he was capable of preleading to be a onmenrative in reality,
and • liberal in case of necessity. He was • decided con-
servative, and wished to preserve untarnished and un-
affected is their integrity the settled institutions of the
country. (Cheers.) He would never do any.
thing for the sake of popularity, but he did not
admit that he was bound to give • vote out of the
line that was called conservative. He would oppose any
niessure having • mischievous tendency, but if a bill should
be introduced which, in point of honour, he felt to be sub-
stantially for the benefit of the country, he would support
it. (Cheers.) At the same time he should not disguise
that he was a conservative in prieciple sad in heart. With
regard to the intimate of the borough they would, of course,
always receive his best attention.
A vote of thanks to the Mayer terminated the pro-
esedinp.

terdey ; Mr. W. RATI4PONZ in the chair.
On the rropoeition of Mr. J. AULIM, seconded by Mr.
J. MOLTNZI'X, a resolution was moved to the following
effect " That Mr. Gladstone having declined to become •
candidate for the seat proposed to be allotted for this divi-
sion of the county, this meeting rejoices to learn that
Mr. Cheatham has consented to contest it ; his con-
sistent support of liberal measures and earnest advocacy
of commercial reform eminently qualify him to represent
so important a constituency ; and this meeting pledgee itself
to use every puasible effort to secure his tnumphant return."

RZPRMEXTATION OF SOUTHWARK. —The appoint •
client of Mr. Lapird to an office io the government has taken
the deduct of this borough somewhat by surprise, and an
attempt has been made to get up an opposition to his re-
eleetkia, but es yet an gentleman has been found willing to

RarassarrenoN or K ay. —The Cork Examiner
mare :—" It is stated, and with apparent authority, that an
iketioa of a representative for Kerry u rot by any means
a remote contingency. It is said that the Moony of the
range is about to be conferred on Colonel Herbert, who,
as it is known, is moo to enjoy the privilege of entertain-
leg her Majesty at his splendid residence at Muckrosa if
as honour is to be conferred on the Lerd•Lientenaot of
Kerry, it could not he anything less than that which is
spoken of—namely, a title, and a scat in the House of Lords.
We mention, thus early, the existence of a belief that suck
an event is moat likely to occur, our object in doing so being
solely to inform the constituency that they may soon have
to select a successor to their present able and efficient repro
imitative."

object of attraction, being wreathed with foliage io end-
less variety of form, and innumerable rich clusters of fra-
gment blossom, of a thousand rainbow tints and every shade
ef colour. The pitcher plant, trumpet. butterfly, passion
flower, and other botanical rarities, excite the admiration of
the curious in such matters. Models of the lotus. the
