LAMBETIL—Mr. M'Arthnr last night addressed
• crowded meeting at the British Schools' (Norge-street..
A vote of confidence was passed four bands only being

MARYLEBONE.—Mr. Thomas Chambers, M.P.,
yesterday addressed a meeting at St. George's-hall, Lang-
ham-place. A vote of confidence was moved, but it was
met by an amendment, adversely criticising the conduct
of the bon. and learned gentleman in parliament, and de-
claring in favour of Dr. Sandwith's candidature. Upon
a show of hands the amendment was declared lost. The
result wuprotested against. A scene of great confusion
ensued, rival placards being displayed. A Sandwith
placard exposed on the platform was seized and destroyed.
A meeting of Dr. Sandwith's supporters was hold on the
same evening.
NOITINOHAM.—Mr. Bernal Osborne addressed
two large and influential ward meetings at Nottingham
on Tuesday night. After having gone over the serious
subjects treated by him on the previous evening, he
spoke of the fitness of the other liberal candidates. One
of them, be said, was • man of great eloquence, great
sincerity, and great earnestnese—the Rev. Peter Clayden.
(Applause.) He believed him to be a sincere, honest,
enthusiastic, mistaken man. (A Votes, "He's not mis-
taken.") There was no harm in saying that he was mis-
taken, which he was not the leas likely to be because he
was honest and enthusiastic. Mr. Claydon had
seen life through books, not as be (Mr. Osborne)
had, through men. Mr. Clayden was not •
working man, but an enthusiastic scholar. Mr.
Merriman was one of the most able and disinterested
lawyers in London, and a disinterested lawyer was • great
curiosity—(laughter)—but he was no working man. Hs
might be a great friend of the working man ; but he would
have to attend to his business first and his working man
afterwards. Mr. Seely was an excellent member of
society. He was a large employer of labour, which was •
great qualification, and what was still a greater qualifica-
tion, be had sn account at his bankers' on a large scale.
(Laughter and applause.) He (Mr. Osborne) was not •
large employer of-labour. He was a farmer on a small
scale, and his account at his bankers' was on a still smaller
scale—(laughter)—but he considered himself as good a
working-man's candidate as any of them. ((heers.)—A
meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Clayden was
held in the Sneiuton Market-place the same evening.
OXroitD UNWERSITY.—It is stated in well-
informed circles at Oxford that Sir Roundell Palmer, in
deference to the wishes of a large section of members of
Convocation, as expressed in a numerously signed requisi-
tion, will consent to allow himself to be put in nomina-
tion for the vacancy in the representation of the uni-
versity Caused by the retirement of Sir William Heath-
cote. It is also understood that the Right Hon. J.
Mowbray, M.A. of Christ Church, Judge Advocate
General, will Sir Roundell Palmer on conservative
principles. so that Mother severe contest for the repre-
sentation of the unixersity may be reasonably exported.
TriWER llALLF.Tl3.—Meetings were yesterday
addressed by Mr. Ayrton. M.P.' at the Wapping Charity,
Church-street, Wapping: by Mr. Newton. at the Town-
hall, Poplar; and by Mr. Realm, in the drill shed, Lon-
don Docks. In each case a vote of confidence was adopted.
WOLVERIIAMPTON.—The Right Hon. C. P. Vil-
lien and Mr. Weguelin, the sitting liberal members, have
issued addresses seeking re-election. Mr. Villiers reminds
the elector that it is now the eve of the Stith year of his
connexion with their borough. It must, he thinks, be a
matter of special satisfaction to the inhabitants of the
borough to observe the success of liberal principles. Mr.
Villiers refers to his consistent support of measures for
enlarging the basis of the representation, and looks with
hope to the results of the new Reform 11111. Although full
of contrivance to defeat the object which it professes to
attain, and requiring immediate amendment, it has yet
plan d popular power on a very broad foundation, and
changes which were hitherto resisted may now be
expected to follow. The right hon. gentleman then deals
with the Irish question, and glances at the subject• which
will iu all probability occupy attention in the new parlia-
ment. Mr. Weguelfn's address is also thorougly liberal
in tone, and is anexpasition of the principles which should
govern onr national policy.

TAE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL AT HULL.—
Yesterday the Mayor of Hull (Alderman (1. C. Roberts)
unveiled a memorial statue of the late Prince Consort in
the People's lark, Beverley-road. It had been expected
that some member of the royal family would have at-
tended to perform the ceremony, in which the Queen was
known to take peculiar interest, but the hopes of the local
authorities were doomed to be disappointed, the Duke of
Edinburgh having to join the Galatea for foreign
service. The disappointment oi the inhabitants was very
great, they having but few opportunities of personally
showing their loyalty and attachment to the throne. and
it was enhanced by the fact that a general understanding
had existed that un this occasion royalty would
once more visit Hull. The ceremony yesterday was
a very imposing one, from the vast numbers who
were present to "assist " at it. At one o'clock the in-
vited guests assembled at the Town-hall, where refresh-
ments were provided by the mayor. Afterwards a pro-
cession was formed, comprising the mayor and council,
the candidates for the representation of the borough, the
corporations of the Trinity House and Hull Dock COM.
puny, the consular body, Chamber of Commerce officials,
and other representative gentlemen. The route of the
peocession (a very lung one) was through the principal
streets of the borough, and in all of them the inhabitants
bad testified in some pleasing fashion their loyalty and
sympathy in the movement which had for its object
the commemoration of the virtues of the deceased Prince.
At the gates of the park the proceseien was met by the
lark committee, who then led the way to the
.platform,
which bad been raised for the civet'. ~,,, . The
proceedings commenced by the mayor formally presenting
the statue, which Aldermen }Alison, the chairinati of the
park committee, accepted, mei requested the mayor to
unveil it. During the process the band of the Hull police
force played Martin Luther's Hymn, and the ceremony
closed. In the evening there was a grand banquet at the
Town-hall, and a display of fireworks at the park.
TIIE COUNTERS o DERWENTWATEIL—There it
nothing to report in the way of change in the Dilston
camp. Mr. Grey has delivered the ultimatum that no
trespass whatever can be allowed, though lie has very
courteously allowed a few days in which the alleged irre-
gularity may be remedied. The trespass in question is the
tarpaulin covering of the countess s habitation, which,
hanging over the hedge, rests upon the grasson the Dilston
estate. Mr. Grey. did not urge the slightest obection to
the tarpaulin hanging on the hedge, but stated the neces-
sity he was under not to allow one inch of tbecovering to
touch the grass. He however, as has been said, has sus-
pended any immediate action iu the present state of health
in which the countess lies. On Monday night the damp
air affected her ladyship most seriously, but during the
course of Tuesday she somewhat recovered. Last even-
ing a meeting, which hail been adjourned from Saturday
night la.t, was held in the Mechanics' Institute. Itlaydon,
to express the sympathy of the inhabitants with the coun-
tess*. Mr. !lardy occupied the chair, and after putting
the resolutions passed at the previous meeting for con-
trintion, mad the following resolutions, which were to he
submitted :—" That Messrs. H. Stokoe and Thos. March
be appointed treasurers for Illaydon, and that Mr. Alex.
Watson act as secretary in the management of the funds."
" That a subscription list be drawn out and laid at the
house or shopoflir. Wm. Paxton where any persons may
go to subscribe." These two motions, together with ono
passed at the previous meeting—that a subscription he
made at this meeting us a nucleus—were carried, despite a
few words from Mr. N. Hardy, that it would be better to
obtain the sanction of the countess before raising any
funds. Other speakers, amongst whom were Messrs. 11.
Stokoe, Win. Paxton, G. B. Galloway (Newcastle), and
the chairman, spoke cheerfully as to the hopes of this
being the commencement of a national agitation which
should restore the countess to her just and inalienable
rights. The advisability of similar meetings to this being
held at Witham and Corbridge was also favourably dis-
cutsetl.-11 tit-castle Chris/sick.

BEGISTRATIfiN APPEALB.—Yostertla4 the, num-
ber of uppeols from the decisions of the Revising Barristers,
lodged at the Common Pleas-office, was eleven, and it is
anticipated that before the fourth day of the clewing
Milliaclnies term the list will contain nearly 30. Unless
the appeals are forthwith lodged, and notice given as in.
Wilted by the Registration of Voters Act, the caws cannot
be decided by the court before the elections. The first
case on the list will settle the claims of about 6,000
women to be placed on the twister.
LIVERPOOL FlNARCEli.—Hottio revelations were
made yesterday at a meeting of the Liverpool Town
Council respecting the corporation (inane,. A dis-
cussion arose respecting the Now Sefton-park. One
speaker complained that the estiniatis for the park
bad risen from 85,0001. to half a million, while Alderman
Dover called attention to the fact that the public debt
of the town now amounts to 6,000,0004, and that re-
cently 21,000 f. had been spent in obtaining thirty-four
bills, which involved an expenditure of 1,000,0004 lie
alto pointed out that in 1868, the local taxation was at
the rate of 6e. in the pound, while it was now 7s. 44d.
