THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1868:

ELECTION INTELLIOENCE.

Mtn-Smuttx. - A crowded meeting of the elec-
tors was held on Wednesday last at the Lecture Mali, Rich-
mond; Mr. W. J. Maxwell, J.P., in the chair. The
Chairman. after a brief address. called upon Mr. Gold-
amid, who addressed the meeting at considerable length.
Several electors having asked questions as to tU
candidates views upon trades unions, the equalization of
poor rates, abolition of the ratepaying clauses of the
Reform Act, the ballot, &c., and receiving satisfactory
replies, Dr. Selfe moved and the Rev. George S. Ingram
seconded a vote of confidence in Mr. Goldsmid, and pledg-
ing the electors present to use their best efforts to secure
his return. The resolution was carried with but one or
two dissentients, amidst enthusiastic cheering and after
"three cheers more" for Mr. Gladstone, the meeting
separated.

BILA.DFORD.—Mr. C. Miall began last evening to
go the round of the wards to explain his political views to
the electors. The first meeting was held in the east ward,
and Mr. Titus Salt, the well-known manufacturer, of
Saltairo, occupied the chair. A letter written by Mr.
Miall to Mr. B. Kell, in reply to some aspersions on his
course in reference to national education, has been pub-
fished. Having reviewed his whole course in reference to
the educational movement, he adds:—" Be it remembered
that when, by the passing of the Reform Act of 1867, and
months before a vacancy in Bradford was anticipated. I saw
that the people would have political power to mould their
owu educational system, I withdrew my opposition, and
announced my intention of aiding them to the utmost of
my power and influence in obtaining a really national
system of education, undenominational in its character,
based on local rates, and regulated by local management.
Not my sectarianism, but my detestation of sectarianism,
moved me to a great extent rn ' the opposition' I offered to
what is called a national, but what in reality has been a
clerical, system of education."

BURY.—Viacotatt Chelsea, eldest eon of Earl
Cadogan, has consented to place himself in the hands of
the conservative party of Bury ; and • meeting will be
called as early as possible to determine respecting his can-
didature in opposition to Mr. R. N. Philips, the present
liberal member.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Lord Royston has just
issued a second address to the electors of this ciunty, and
thus refers to the church of England in Ireland now
threatened with demolition:—" I am opposed to such a
measure as against my religion. I cannot support it as a
political act. Ido not think we would conciliate Ireland
by robbing her of her church property; it will, moreover,
stimulate agitation, for it will offend our protestant
brethren without satisfying the wants of the bulk of the
Irish people."

Coe Kinmotrrit.—The Earl of Mayo announced
to his supporters at Cockermouth on Wednesday night
that he had accepted, after due consideration, the
Governor-Oeneralship of India. His brother, the Hon.
Henry Bourke, will be the conservative candidate for
Cockermouth. Major Green Thompson, M.P., will
retire.

DEVON (Sotm).—Lord Amberley's supporters
had a most successful meeting at Holeworthy, on Wednes-
day. Mr. George Cobam presided. About 2,000 farmers
rallied round his lordship, who delivered an energetic
speech, which was followed by a tremendous uproar.
Questions prepared for the occasion, on paper, were
handed to the noble lord, chiefly having reference to the
Dialectical Society. Lord Amberley declined to answer
the questions. He threatened legal proceedings against
repeating the calumnies which had been brought against
him. A regular fight was then commenced in the crowd.
A resolution, however, in favour of Lord Amberley was
carried by an immense majority. A similar meeting was
held at Hatherleigh the previous day.
HACKNEY. —Last night Lieutenant-Colonel
Dickson addressed a crowded meeting at the Norfolk
Arms, William-street, Bethnal-green. The gallant colonel
had a vote of confidence accorded him.

Norm LzicEsTratsmas.—Lord John Manners
has issued his address. The noble lord claims credit on
behalf of the government for the suppression of Fenian-
bin, the increased efficiency of the army and navy the
success of the Abyssinian war, the foreign policy Of the
country and its tendencies to the maintenance of peace,
the union of the North American provinces, the adminis-
tration of the poor laws, the extension of thegactories
Acts, and lastly, the Reform Act of last year.

NEWC.IBTLZ-MiDER-LYNE.—At a numerously
attended meeting of liberal electors on Wednesday even-
ing a resolution was passed in favour of bringing for-
ward a second liberal candidate for this borough. It was
stated that there were about 1,600 to be added to the
voters of the borough, about three-fourths of whom were
liberals. The names of several gentlemen were mentioned
whom it would be desirable to select, including that of
Mr. Morley, editor of the Fortnightly Review, who had
written to a gentleman in the town to express his readi-
ness to visit the borough. It was, however, decided to
first invite Mr. M. D. Hollins, manufacturer, of Stoke-
upon-Trent.

BETTING IN LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)

2.30 p.m.

To-day'a proceedings were rendered sensational
by a hostile demonstration directed by a speculator
against The Earl for the St. Leger. After laying
300 to 200, he laid 66 to 40, 70 to 40, and 50 to 25, and
again offered 70 to 40. King Alfred and Formosa
were in great request, the first-named freely
backed at 4 to 1, while against the latter layers
refused to mention any price ►t all. There was no
other particular change on this event. For the Cesare-
witch, Rescue and Romping Girl were backed to a limited
amount at 40 to 1, and anything over this price would
have been gladly accepted to a considerable amount.
