sandidatare. The candidates will run singly.
Hell,.'l;h'r.—Mr. Augustus Golrlsmia, a .barrister
of the Hmane Circuit, has offered himself as a conservative
eandlils'e at this borough. in apposition to Mr. T. A.
Mitchell (liberal), who has been one of the members for
the lia. 27 years. The new candidate addressed a public
meeting on Monday evening, avowing himself a supporter
of the present ministry, ouc who would reform the Irish
church and nut destroy it, and in social matters an advo-
este of Judicious end constitutional advancement.
REDI,O RD.—A public meeting waa held at the
Assembly Rooms, on Monday evening, at which Mr.
Cannel Whitbread, /LP.. and Mr. James Howard, were
.present for the purpose of explaining their political prin-
ciples. The room was crowded in every part, and the
proceedings were conducted with great enthusiasm.
A resolution. proposed by Mr. William Wells Hilpin, one
of the borough magistrates; seconded by Mr. Harris, a
working man, and sapported by Mr. John Everitt, of
Lombard-street, who had declined to becoiae the second
liberal candidate, arpreeeive of confidence in the political
.opinions of Messrs.. Whitbread and Howard, and pledging
'tee meeting to use its utmost endeavours to secure their
return, was adopted with but one dissentient.

member for this borough, addressed a crowded meeting of
his friends and snpporters,on which oocssionhe in:lammed
himself as intending to again offer himself form-election.
Mr. Otway expressed himself in favour of some further
improvement, to be made m the reform measure of last
session, and also stated hie views at some length on the im-
portant question of the diseertablishment of the Irish epis-

the new borough of Hackney was held last night in the
schoolroom, Romerton-row, for the purpose of hearing an
exrosition of the political views of Mr. Charles Reed,
F.8.A., one of the candidates for the representation of
that constituency in the next parliament. Mr. W.Green
presided. Mr. Reed addressed the meeting at consider-
able length, and in the course of his speech said the
country had lately been governed in the spirit of faction.
and by a party headed by a man in whom the people
had no confidence. Referring to the taxation of the
country, which he said was 3,000,000/. more last year than
in the year preceding, the speaker contended that the
heaviest portion of these burdens fell upon the poorer
classes, and that the money so obtained was too often
spent in a wasteful and extravagant manner. Mr. Reed
denounced the system by which affairs in the army
and navy had been administered, and stated that
there had been 365:000,000/. expended on these branches
of the public service in the course of the.past lb ran.
After touching upon the question of education, which he
remarked the people did not want as a gift, but were de-
sirinus of being enabled to pay for by being relieved from
unnecessary taxation, the speaker proceeded to discuss the
Irish church question, which he contended was not, as
the conservatives were attempting to show, a question of
"No Popery," but a question as to whether peace
and prosperity, or anarchy and revolution, were to pre-
vail in that country. Mr. Disraeli had years ago de-
nounced the Irish church establishment, but now that the
question of its disestablishment had been brought for-
ward he showed himself too craven- hearted to deal with it.
After parsing a warm eulogium upon the character and
policy of Mr. Gladstone, whose lead he was prepared
no follow, Mr. Reed alluded to -the recent Reform Act,
which he remarked was eo fenced round with restrictions
'that it was made foolish and contemptible, and one of
the first duties of the new parliament would be to bring
in a bill to provide for the fuller representation of the
people.. A resolution win unanimously passed pledging
the anteing to use its best efforts to secure Mr. Reed's
electim i.

To ma HAAILETA.—In addition to the candi-
dates al ready named for the borough of Tower Hamlets,
-. Nett/ton. formerly a prominent and leading member
of the A inalgarnated Enmneers' Society, and now the re-
presenta live of Hackney at the Board of Works, will ins.

THE A ILEOED FRIV:pB UPON UNDER-

WRITAiId.

The trial of the defeadanta, George linker a
North Sea pilot, and William Middleton, and William
Tint Speare, two Deal boatmen, for unlawfully conspir-
ing together to defraud and to obtain by fable pretenses
the tuna of 4261., from Loyd's Salvage Araeoiation, wee
resumed yesterday morning at Maidstone, before Mr.
Justice M

Mr. Barlow and Mr. Poland, and Sir C. Young again
appealed on behalf of the prosecution; Serjeaut Sleigh
Imo Mr. J. 1). Fowles appeared for Baker and Middleton ;
and Mr. C. Francis appeared for Spears.
Thu offence imputed to the defendant', it will be re-
membered, was that, having been called upon to pilot the
Olivia, a vessel of SOO tons, from the Downs through the
North Sea, they had, with the assistance and conuivanoo
et the captain of the vessel, concocted a fraudu-
lent claim for salvage, arising out of services alleged to
have been rendered by the defendants and other
boatmen, by means of which the vessel was re-
presented to have been saved from • very serious
collision. A portion of the case for the prosecution Wili
that while Middleton wee in charge of the vessel he had
wilfully caused the Ices of an anchor and cable, and after-
wails represented that it had been "slipped" to avoid •
collision which was the commencement of the frond.

The defendants ultimately made a claim for salvage, and
an award was made by Captain Bunten, the agent for
Lloyd's at Deal, under which the sum of 4201. was
awarded by that gentleman for salvage, which sum was
divided among the defendants and other boatmen. The
case appeared to create very great interest iu maritime and
commercial circles, as a very strong impression appears
to prevail that frauds of this character which it is nood-
les, to say, are very difficult of detection, are carried on
to an enormous amount. The motor the prosecution was
concluded on Monday evening.
Mr. Barrow yesterday proceeded to sum op the case for
the prosecution.
Mr. Francis first addressed the jury on behalf of the de-
fendant Spears.
Serjeant Sleigh next addressed the jury on behalf of the
other two defendants, Baker sad hfiddloton.

Mr. Justice Willes.summed up the cane at some length,
and very carefully placed all the material points before
the jury.
The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict, but
were not absent for more than ten minutes, and upon
their return into court they found all the defendant
Mr. Powles said he wan instructed to band to the
court a number of certificates and other document show-
ing that the prisoners had on several occasions behaved in
the most gallant manner, and that they had been the
means of saving the lives of a great many shipwrecked
mariners. One of these certificates was by the Belgian
Vice-Consul, and related to the saving the whole of the
crew of a Belgian vowel that was wrecked on the Good-
win Bands.

Hr. Justice Wiles said he could perfectly understand
that the defendants' character had been unimpeachable,
at all events upon the point referred to, down to the pre-
sent time. The Deal boatmen, as a body, were perhaps
some of the bravest fellows that ever lived, and he was
very sorry that his duty compelled him to try such a case
as the present.
The defendants were then called up for judgment.
Mr. Justice Wales, in passing sentence, said that they
had been convicted, upon evidence which appeared to him
to be quite atuuiswerable, of having been engaged in a
fraudulent transaction, the effect of which had been to
put 4201. into their pockets and those of some of their com-
panions at the expense of the owners and underwriters of
this vessel. A portion of this money was no doubt devoted
to the purchase of the anchor and cable, but at all events
they had succeeded in getting possession of 290 f. by
making a false and unfounded claim for salvage services
which they had never performed. He was unwilling
to import any observations of his own into the case,
but he was afraid from information that had come to him
that this was not the only instance in which fraudulent
and extortionate claims had been made for salvage, and he
was sorry to say that an opinion prevailed, not only
among persons engaged in shipping pursuits in this coun-
try, but also in foreign countries, that this was the case but
that it more particularly referred to the coast of Deal. He
earnestly hoped that the present proceedings would have
the effect of checking such practices for the future, for if
they were persevered in, the Deal coast would possibly
have the same bad notoriety that had been obtained by
other portions of the coast of England, where for a long
time the practice of plundering wrecks existed. Although
this was the first case in which the law had been put in
force in its present form, he should have felt himself per-
fectly justified in passing a very severe sentence upon
them, but having regard to the fact to which he had
alluded, and to the high character they appeared to have
previously deserved, be would not go to the extent of
punishment to which he was empowered by the law.
Still, however, he must pass a sentence of some severity
upon them, and he hoped that it would have the effect of
inducing them to refrain fro a becoming engaged in such
practices for the future, and that their fate would be a
warning to their companions, and that frauds of this de-
scription would not be attempted in future. He then
sentenced the prisoners to be kept to hard labour for the
space of six months.
Ibis case concluded the business of the assizes.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A MAGISTRATE.
—At the Abridge Petty Sessions, yesterday, Joseph
Wollen, one of the senior magistrates of the Abridge
division, was charged with assaulting John Green, an es-
guardian of the poor for the pariah of Wedmore, on July
8. There were cross-s ununonses in this case by which
Mr. Green was charged with assaulting Mr. Wollen, on
July 7 and 20. The court was crowded to hear the case,
which lasted for more than three hours, at the end of
which the bench dismissed the summons against Mr.
Wollen and fined Mr. Green in the slim of AI. and coats.
considering his assault to have been of a moat violent and
unprovoked nature, inasmuch as he went up behind Mr.
Wollen in the street, and de alt him a heavy blow on
the head with a heavy cudgel, without the least alterca-
tion.

SHOCKING MURDER OF Two CHILDREN AND
ATTEMPTED Smcmii.—A shocking occurrence is reported
from the neighbourhood of Rochdale. A man named
Israel Whiteoak, residing with his wife and two children
upon the Calf Hole Farm, Burnedge, near Rochdale,
yesterday mo • , in what is supposed to be a fit of in-
sanity, cut the of the two children, a boy aged
eight years and a girl aged three, and then attempted suicide
by cutting his own throat. The wife of the unhappy man
gives the following account of the occurrence :—" Twelve
months ago my husband suffered very much from rheu-
matism and I remember that he told me then that he
had a good mind to commit suicide, but he did not know
how I could get on with the children. I did not pay
much attention to the remarks then, because I knew that
he was suffering from great pain. He has not been
troubled since with rheumatism. On Monday morning I
was ill and vomited blood, which seemed to make
him very uneasy, and he offered to stop at home from
his work, but I would not let him. He told me that I
must go and see a doctor on Tuesday. At night he re-
turned from his work, and seemed very well, and there
was nothing strange in his conduct. He eat a very good
supper, and we retired. to rest about 11 o'clock. About 4
o'clock in the morning I was awoke by hearing my
youngest child cry, and I saw my husband kneeling on the
children's bed, looking wild, and the youngest
child, as it appeared to me, bleeding from
the mouth. I then got up, took the child, and
saw that it and its brothers' throats were cut. I said to
him, ' What have you done?' He made no reply. I
ran down stairs with my youngest child, which was not
quite dead, and my boy followed after me ; but I saw his
father seize him at the top of the stairs, and again cut his
throat with a razor. I put the child on the couch, and as
I was unlocking the door my husband was coming down
the stairs. I rushed out and gave alarm to the neigh-
bours." Both the children are dead, but the father is still
living, though in a very dangerous state.
ANornxit CAB STRIKE.—London is threatened
with another cab strike, but the directions which have
been issued by those who are directing the movement do
not make it clear how long it is proposed that it shall last.
The men are all ordered to be " home' on Thursday (to-
morrow) evening at seven o'clock, and after that London
will probably be in about the mime state as it was when
the cabs were withdrawn some months ago on account of
the "no lights " controversy. This time it is not with
Sir Richard Mayne and the police that the cabmen and
their employers are at war, but with the railway compa-
nies, who have laid down some very rigid, and, as it is
said, arbitrary rules in reference to the admission of cabs
into their stations. In consequence of this state of things
almoostpoeimdcab running along the streets of London has
a paper it bearing the words "No railway
mon y." When the men have left off work to-morrow
evening, and have been •• home " at seven o'clock, the
directions are that they shall attend a great out-of-door
demonstration in Cumberland-market, Regent's-park, for
the purpose of giving an opportunity to the cab interest
generally of publicly expressing their grievances.
