THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

Yesterday was another busy and exciting, day in
various Parliamentary Constituencies. The Down-

patrick Election was proceeded with, and, as we
intimated, would likely be the case, Mr. Tier has

been returned as member for that borough, the
voting being 137 fur Ker, and 100 for Johnstone.

At Hull, Mr. Clay has been returned without oppo-
sition. The Newport (Lyle of Wight) Election his
ended by Mr. Itennard, P,niser vative, being returned
by a majority of 21, 'At noon, yesterday, the return-
. ing officer at I:::reenwich announced the number
of votes for each candidate for the representation
of that district, viz , 2,013 for Codrington, and
1,597 for Sleigh, being a majority of 1,331 for
Ci;dringtou. Sir William Coclrington briefly
returned thanks. Colonel Sleigh also addressed

the electors, but his speech was 7 merely that of a
fierce tirade against the government. A disturb-
ance was apprehended amongst " the ruffs," who
assert that they were employed by Colonel Sleigh's

committee, and not receiving any beer or payment,
they went to the extent of pulling down the bar at
the tap of the Portland Tavern, the head qußrters
of Colonel Sleigh's party. The police were called
in to prevent any further rioting. The nomination
for West Kent will take Ova on Monday, at
Penenden Heath, near Maidstone.

The, House of boturnens was engaged yesterday
1-1.11,

them ono 11r two only technically private, for they
ielate to the Liveri•,ool Tow ii Duos and Dock man-
jagtment.—Last, night a sort of Parliamentary
battle toot place between Liverpool and ranches.
ter. It was the old struggle of last year, about the
c •
!..,nipping Dues, but it came up this session in
nnother shape.• The Manchester Town Council
have resolved to press upon Parliament
a measure for consolidating the docks of

Liverpool and Birkenhead into one estate.
This is the apparent object of Mr. Milner
Gibson's Bill, but in reality the measure is for the
purpose of reducing the Dock Dues to such a
figure as will not pay the interest to the bond-
holders of that vast estate. After some objection

by our members, Messrs. Horsfall and Eart, the
bill was read a second time, and it will go before
the house in committee.

Yesterday, Vice Chancellor Kindersley delivered
judgment in the ease of Alicia Race. It is, of
course, not possible to give any report of the facts
or arguments upon which his Honour's decision
has been arrived at, but the following minute of
the order made may be relied upon :—An under-
taking-being given by- the R3v. E. W. Bickersteth
and four other parties to clothe, maintain, and
educate the infant, Alicia Race, in a manner
suitable to her station, and to an amount not
taxceeding a year, declare that the infant ought
to be brought up in the Protestant faith, appoint
Captain Conelly and J. E: lAroodrot-re, Esq., guar-
dians; if they will undertake the office, of the said
infant; if not, refer it to chambers to appoint a
fit and proper guardian. Chill to be delivered
to the matron of the Sailors' Orphan School,
Hampstead.
The period that has passed since the murder of
Mr. Little, the railway cashier, at Dublin, may now
be marked by months, and still the names of the
victim cry aloud for vengeance. This mid day
murder, committed under circumstances of pe-
culiar diffiCulty, and almost within earshot of
the busy world, has, nevertheless, been con-
trived, and executed with such cousumate tact
as to have baffled the experience and ingenuity
that we are told was brought to bear upon it. People
have ceased to speculate upon the matter, and
even remembrance of the fearful tragedy is
quickly passing away, except from those minds
which must be haunted by it to all eternity. We
are, however, now told, that that subject is to be
brought before Parliament immediately, with the
view of ascertaining what measures were adopted,
and what line of conduct was pursued by those to
whom the unravelling of this mystery was confided
and also whether their hopes of ultimate success;
have been altogether abandoned.
The Annual Meeting of the Industrial Ragged
Schools was held yesterday ; the Rev. Rector Camp-
bell, the Rev. Dr. Hume, and others addressed
the assembly. It we dd appear from the report
read by Mr. Hubback that the institution is in as
healthy and forward a condition as can be expected.
The average attendance is large, and habits of
industry and honesty are being daily forced upon
the attention of about 130 destitute children.
There is no news of importance from the con-
tinent this morning. The organ of the French
ministry asserts that France, in desiring to secure
to the Romans liberty to form a united State has
still the consent of Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia.
It is, however, now said that Turkey has fol-
lowed the example of Austria, and has demanded
explanations concerning the late article in the
Moniteur.
We find in a St. Petersburg letter a sketch of
the conditions on which Lord Cowley and Ferouk
Khan are endeavouring to negotiate peace. It
will be observed that England requires, for anaval
and commercial station in the Persian Gulf,
that
very island of ICarrack to which the French Go,
verement pretends to have a title founded on
anterior treaties. Bushire, however, is to be given
up, and we demand the right to construct the railway
to India,.if it is to be executed, across the Persian
territory, from the Euphrates to Scinde. In the
meantime Ferouk Khan is said to have received later
instructions, of a less conciliatory nature, and it is
doubtful whether those conditions will be granted
by the Shah. The preparations for war in Persia
continue ; General Buhler, the Swiss officer to
whom the capture of Herat is due, had been
