The following is a copy of the requisition from
the Mond electors of South laassehire to Mr. Gladstone :
"Sir,—We, the undersigned elsetors of the southern divi•
vision of the county of Laocaster, respectfully request that
at the proper time you will allow yourself to be nominated
as a candidate for the seat proposed to be allotted to South
Lancashire in the bill disposing of the disfranchised seats
of Sudbury and St. Albans. The position which you
occupy as one of the first itatesineo and orators iu
Europe, the extensive knowledge you possess of the
commercial wants of the country, the important part
you have taken in its &oil legislation, and the popular
*pillions you have expressed on its foreign policy, sufii•
deadly recommend you ea a fit and proper representative
of our views and interests in the House of Commons;
but we claim your services as our representative in par.
hern•ut ori local and personal grounds. Al a Lancashire
man, the sou of a Liverpool merchant, we invite you to
represent in parliament the constituency with which, by
birth, parentage, and interest, you are most nearly allied.
We believe that, while we could select no candidate who
would so efficiently satisfy the varied and iuiportant re-
toles:emote of South Leoceahire, there are few constitu-
codes who would make less demand upon your time and
attention, and who would leave you more free in every
respect to carry out the policy which you believe to be for
the welfare of the nation at large. If, when the time
+mire., you consent to allow yourself to be nominated for
this division of the county, we pledge ourselves by every
legal means to secure your triumphant return."

GOOD IIIDA T.

Yesterday Greenwich Park and Blackheath were
visited by impaling multitudes, and the town of Woolwich
wee also crowded throughout On day. The whole ilood
the Woolwich and Loados Steam Packet Compaq wee
engaged in the passenger traffic, the bosis rusting every
ten minutes, and until 9 p.m.
icy 3 o'clock there must have been about 50,000 per....
within the Crystal Pelee,. The extraordinary appeennes
which this dense masa presented was soreethieg really
wonderful. The Heade' orchestra (says the Times) was
a dense black pile of human beings from base to summit,
while all round the metre trassept sad every point
front which, though puts out et kaarisig. eves • view of
the ardente*World he gained was thronged with a solid
lad almost impenetrable crowd. So dowse woe it that for
a long time thither chorus nor performers mead pia the
orchestra at all, sad though this unavoidably led to some
deley before the musk coen mewed, yet the great throng bars
it all patiently, and, save the indescribable hum which
always mark the preserve of immense mares of people,
all was as quiet and as orderly as on a live-shilling concert
day. When the " Old Hundredth Peden" was given, In
which the visitors were repotted to joie, the united effect
of the voices vs., inspite of all the defect. of time and
concord, something really marvelloes and sublime. So also
was it when any particular 'mews was applauded,
and when actually the very building seemed to
tremble nadir. the CODCUI•i011 of anplause. The scene is
the warm resembled a universal flte cAmeneire or pie-she
as the wee colossal scale. The df6ris of bile of bread, dis-
carded sandwiches, he., scattered over the grass, seemed
almost 'sough to feed a moderate-aimed town. There was
no lack either of abeedosed stout and porter bottles but
in mere justice to the thrift of the visitors, it should he
stated that DOIMI of these latter were left behind until
they were perfectly empty. The ride ranges were crowded
with amateurs, who fired incessantly, and whose per-
formances left a distinct impression on the mind of the
spectator that the only safe dem to view them fruit, was
nett in front of the target. The facility with which they
hit everything but the mark was astonishing. So, also,
with the bows and arrows is the archery ground,
where it wee evident the competitors, if they had
toasted of their skill. had only bees used to drawing those
long bows with which arrows have nothing to do. If the
fate et itwitalriand had des
on hitting a haystack,
it week! We keen all up with the Free Cantons : but
everybody was amused, end there was applause for those
who...mows fell within an acre of the target, and only
shouts of laughter punished other who missed by a couple
of furlongs or so. Then there were swigs, and about 100
candidates for every plane in each; and adventurous
young ladies run row dowel steep had
ample leiter, when lying their full tenth to repent their
temerity before they were LW way down. Altogether,
therefore, the day was a very decided succor, sal it meted
of es all sides with the atimet hammy sad good hewer.
There wee a little incoeverrienee at the station, arising from
everybody being &avow to get up to town by the mace
hate, hat alter awhile the inapracticiability of the desire
inseam! to be generally admitted and people were cooteut
to welt their tutu amid most awful crow ling. Rat until
the athighithed British public become aware of the truth
of the preposition that two bodies cannot occupy the same
slime in the sew time, they must expect to suffer (nen
their own overcrowding. Everything which the officials
amid do was done to facilitate the depsrtuess, end as the
thins VIM istmemus they got off pretty fast, but it
great have hese a late hoar before all were clear of the
Whig.

THE , EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH $O, 1861.

PURPOSED SUICIDE PEON DESTITUTION.
Nary Jackson, a_
grey-haired miserable•looking woman,
was charged before Mr. Barker with attempting to commit
self-destruction by poison.
Mrs. Martha Steddin residing in Thomas-street,
Kingsbuid.road, said that she bad known the
prisoner for eight years as au opposite neigh-
bout; formerly the family were in comfortable cir-
cumstances, and apparently very happy, but the husband
had died about three months since, and since that period
the wife appeared very despoudent. On Thursday morning
last she came to witness, expressed a conviction that
her children must go to the workhouse, and sud-
denly left. About a quarter of an hour afterwards
witness perceived her in the street with a white
packet iu her hand. and impressed with the conviction that
self-destruction was meditated, she dragged her into the
house, called • constable, and on finding that the packet
contained oxalic acid, gave her into custody.
The poor woman, in reply to questions by the magistrate,
expressed her contrition for the purposed wicked act ; but
declared that the loss of her husband after three months' ill.
ness, the poverty consequent upon it, and the assurance that
her children, 10, it, arid 5 veers of age, must become paupers,
impelled bee resolve to die. She could get washing, but
could not purchase even the materials for that w
Mr. Barker promised to waist her.

The reserve has fallen off to the extent of

these items is attributable to the demand
for money incidental to the close of the quarter.
The movement in the coin and bullion continues
satisfactory a further increase of 154,0311. having

anomaly with nearly thirteen millions of gold and
