MIPDLESERELECTION.—THE HOLLOW Terre—
When the Enfield-Laboachere difficulty was smoothed
over through the intervention of the committee of the
Reform Club, it was agreed that the two candidates, their
agents, their friends, and the liberal party in general,
should act unitedly. with the view of securing the county
Illg&11114 the assault of the conservatives. It was above all
solemnly agreed that plumping should be di/managed and
prevented by every possible means. A liberal elector has
rurnished us with a letter written to him by the chairman
of Lord Enfield's committee, the day before the polling,
and in accordance with the terms of which he, in common
with others who had received similar notes, plumped for
Lord Enfield. We subjoin a copy of the letter:—
•` Brewery, Spitalfields, hovember 73.---Dear Sir, I should
feel very much obliged by your voting for my friend, Lord
Enfield, on Tuesday next kto-morrow). Believe me, truly
jowl, Roux= HANntrax." —Tee Rester, Pose
WOMIN SUFFRAGE.—At a meeting of the
London National Society for Women Suffrage, held laid
"Seesdayat Aubrey House, Notting-hill, it was resolved,
that as an adverse decision was given in tie appeal
Goads upon the question, if women householders were by
the prm®t law entitled to vote for members of parlia-
ment, that next year a petition from every important
town in England and Wales must be presented, praying
for the alteration of the present law.
DEATH or CAPTAIN CALCRAFT, M.P. TOR WARE-
nAR—We have to announce the death of Captain John
Bales Montagu Calcraft, R.N., the newly elected re-
presentative of the borough of Wareham, which took
lace at his father's residence, Rempstone House, near
de Ca.-tle, on Tuesday evening last. Mr. Calcraft bad
been somewhat unwell for the past month, and being
unable to address the electors on his nomination at the
late election, this duty was discharged for him by his
brother, Mr. W. M. Calcraft ; but at this time no fears
were entertained of any serious results. A few days
-after the contest Captain Calcraft took a cold, which
brought on bronchitis and congestion of the lea" awl tor
some days past the worst appreheasions were entertained
by his family and friends as to his recovery. The de-
ceased was born in 1831, and was consequently in his
37th year. lie was the eldest son of Mr. John Hales
Calcraft (who represented Wareham from 1820-6, from
1832-41, and from 1957-59). and of Lady Caroline
Catherine, daughter of the fifth Duke of Manches-
ter. Captain Calcraft entered the navy in 1844 and
became a liestenant in 1964, served through the
Crimean campaign, and was invalided hems in
MCI, and made a retired commander in 1862.
Captain Calcraft, who was a stanch liberal and a sup-
_porter of Mr. Glidstone's policy, was fiat returned for
•Viareham in 186.5. His death will cause a vacancy in the
representation of that borough. It is generally suppoiest.
that one of the deceased*, brothers will be solicited to offer
himself for the representation in the liberal interest. Cap-
tain Calcraft's next brother, Mr. William Montagu Cal-
craft, who addressed the electors at the late nomination,
is a gentleman in every way qualified for the candidature.
RTOR IA HOSPITAI, FOE SICK CHILDREN.—
Teiterday the second annual meeting of the subscribers
mid friends of this charity took place at Willis's Rooms,
Xing-street, St. James's, under the presidency of Sir
William Jenner, Bart.. M.D. The report stated the
number of in-patients during the year at 134, amongst
whom only two deaths hail occurred. though no eases sent
In subscribers had been refused, and many urgent cases
of suffering bad been admitted by the medical officers
teem amongst the out-patients. The attendance. of
cut-patients numbered 9,278. which, with 6,147 in the
previous year, gave a total of 14,426. The new cases for
the past year amounted.to 1,473. Clough-house required
a eossiderable expenditure to ft it for its present use,
and thus the cost of repairs had been heavy ; but the
whole amount had been paid off. A sum of 8001. had
bean invested as a nucleus for a building fund, and the
oseaseittee looked forward to the time when the hospital
weeld be spared the ince/eh:mice of rent. While the
annual sobecriptiona wale 1101. more than in the pre-
views year, there was a falling off in the total
receipts of 1041., and having regard to the con-
steed iaerease in the number of patients, the committee
eansestiv appealed for increased support for a charity, the
cb pseecctolechich was to receive end provide for the sick
ehilolsen of industrious stru and thus remove

hospitals for children, who required in sickness special
