BEVERLEY ELECTION.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

Walker (Conservative)
Gridley (Liberal) ' 473

Majority for Walker
At the declaration on Tuesday, Mr. Gridley said, though
many eases of bribery could be made out, he would not peti-
tion, and thus run'the risk of disfranchising the borough.
Afterwards a procession was formed, and Mr. Walker
was conducted round the town. This was the source of
great danger as the mob used all possible endeavours to
frighten the horses, and -some accidents occurred. Be-
sides this, some of the horsemen used their whips very
freely, and others rode at those who were annoying
them. The wet snow Which was lying,on-the ground
was thrown on every one in the procession ; and Mr.
Walker himself
.got a good many hard knocks. No,
very serious injuries were, however, inflicted.

PONTREFACT ELECTION.

THE DECLARATION.

A little kfterKurticlobk on Tuesday, the Mayor
(Richard Moxon, Esq.) appeared on the hustings to'
make. his official declaration.' There would then be
nearly 4,000 persons present, and the windows of the
houses in the neighbourhood were filled with ladies.
The Mayor said that the state of the poll was as
follows :
For Mr. Childers (Liberal) 320
For Mr. Waterhouse (Conservative)

Majority fdr Mr. Childers
The announcement was received with thunders of
applause. The Mayor then declared Hugh C. E.
Childers, Esq., duly elected as a burgess to serve in the
present Parliament.

THE COURT OF SESSION (SCOTLAND).—Last year, in
the, Outer House, 624 final judgments were pronounced,
and in the Inner 376 final judgments were pronotinced
in both divisions of the court,, in litigated cases, without
the intervention of a jury.
THE LATE SIR. JOHN FRANKLIN.—The movement
for securing the„erectic:T of a memorial of Sir John
Franklin at Spilsby, his native place, is advancing fa-
vourably. Several gentlemen who had promised: sub-
scriptions for a proposed "Franklin Museum" at Lin-
coln—a scheme now abandoned—have transferred their
donations, and promises of fresh support have'also been
obtained from other quarters.
GARIBALDI Aiiporis BRIDE.—As some doubts existed
as to the truth of the intelligence of General Garibaldi's,
marriage with Mdlle. Josephine Raimondi at Fino, we
may state that the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the
27th, confirms it by quoting. a letter from Como.. Count
Posse Lambertenghi' a cousin of Silvio Pellico, was one
of the witnesses for the bride.; M. Valerio, a deputy of
the late Piedmontese Chamber was the general's witness.
THE QUEEN OF SPAIN AND. TIE POPE.—The special
correspondent of the Horning Chronicle has the follow-
ing extraordinary statement :—" Paris, Monday even-
ing. A strange and up to the present unlooked-for
complication of tha affairs of, the Pope seems likely'
now to occur. From reliable advices received from;
Madrid, I have every reason to believe that the Queen.
of Spain, notwithstanding she already has enough to.
look after and in spite of the opposition of her mini-
sters, is resolved to protect openly the temporal power
and interests of Rome. The two Pezuelas and the
Nuncio are busily forming and Concocting such com-
binations as- would. 'bring about a, change of circum-
stances much in their favour. - Let these machinations
succeed as they ,map, surely they and the Queen also
must comprehend that England and France will never,
on any pretext, tolerate any intervention. The subjects
of Pius IX. must deal with him, and him alone. Spain
has no right to interfere in a matter so totally out of
her province. The Pope is, lam assured, as much
under Austrian influence now as he was before the late
campaign."
THE SILK TRADE. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH
FRANCE.--Anumerous and influential meeting of ribbon
manufacturers was held at St. Mary's Hall, Coventry,
on -Monday, and resolved unanimously to appoint a.de-
putation to proceed. to. London, to remonstrate against
the proposed commercial treaty with 'France. The
Chamber of Commerce has deprecated the proposed
treaty, and has appointed a committee on the subject.
The Overland Friend of India states that the Rajah
of Kuppoorthulla, who 'recently married a Christian
girl, has established a mission to be supported entirely
by himself. Mr. Woodside, of':Dehra Doon, and Dr.
Newton, medical missionary, have charge of the new
mission. ,The 'rajah has thrown off all caste prejudices,
and is diligently
.studying the Scriptures, with a view to
baptism. This is the first instance in which a. native
chief has established and supported an entire mission on
his own estates. Dhuleep Singh gave liberal donations
to the American and other. mtisions.
ARMY GRANTS.—L4O77649 is the total sum required
to make good the deficiency of certain army grants for the
year 1858-9, the expenditure having been £12,533,860,
and the amount voted' only £12,126,211.
THE ST. HELENS COLLIERS.—The colliers in the St.
Helens district held a meeting at the White Lion' Inn,
St. Helens, on Saturday night last;' and from what
transpired, there appears to be a much better feeling
existing between the coalmasters and their men, and a
growing disposition to come to some amicable under-
standing rather than have a general strike. It appears
that most., if not all, the masters have agreed to send the
colliers, for their home use a regular'and better supply
of coal than they have hitherto had, in addition to one
box extra, which contains about 7 cwt. ; and it has been
understood that' the colliers shall not have so many
tallies taken' from them. It was decided, to adjourn the
meeting until the Bth instant, when, unless- matters are
definitely arranged, a general strike will take plaee.
THE CURRENCY AT SYDNEY.--A copy of correspon-
dence between Sir W. Denison, Governor-General of
New South Wales, and the Secretary of State for the
Colonies, with reference to making the sovereign coined
at the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint an imperial
one, or of making it -a -legal tender throughout the
British empire; of memorials or petitions from the
Executive Council and Houses of Parliament in New
South Wales; and of cOrrespondence between the
Colonial-office and the Treasury on the same subject,
has been published, on the motion of Lord 'Alfred
Churchill, M.P. The result is, that Mr. Labouchere,
in May, 1857, informed Sir W... Denison that the
question of rendering the gold coin struck at. Sydney a
legal tender in all parts of the Queen's dominions 'was
one to be considered with reference to the general
interests of the British. empire, and that the (then)
Government of her Majesty were not prepared to
recommend to Parliament any l_ghlation on the subject.
SUDDEN DEMISE OF LORD Istincrn..—We regret ,to
have to announce that Lord North, the eldest son of
Earl Guilford, of Waldershare, near Dover, died sud-
denly at the residence of his mother-in-law, Lady Gray
De Ruthyn, at Wateringbury, on Saturday, the 28th
ult., at two o'clock, a.m. , His lordship was 30 years of
age, and has left three children; the eldest a boy, and now
heir apparent to the earldom .of Guilford. His lordship
was in his usual health until a few hours previous to the
fatal attack, and on Thursday was, during all the day,
shooting on the lands of his brother-in-laW, Mr. Lan-
caster Lucas. Mr. Gould, of Wateringbury, was in
immediate attendance ; and eventually Dr. Woodfall, of
Maidstone, was summoned,, but without avail. The
information of his lordship's death was received on
Saturday by Earl Guilford, his father, who is 88 years
of age, with deep emotion.

LANCASHIRE CLAIMS TO MORE MEM-
BERS OF PARLIAMENT.

•,

A.meeting of the Council of the Lancashire
Reforthers' Union was held on afternoon,
in the Council-room, Newall's • Buildings; the
object being to decide as to the mode of bringing
under the notice of the Government the claims of
the county of Lancaster to greatly increased re-
presentation in the House of Commons. Mr. G.
Wilson presided, and the room was inconveniently
crowded, there being about 100 gentlemen present,
including Alderrneii• Sir E. Armitage, Heywood,
and Goadsby (of Manchester), Livsey (of Roch-
dale), Rylands (of Warrington), and Platt (of
Oldham) ; Messrs. T. 13. Potter, J. C. Dyer, and
William MOttis, Manchester ; Messrs. H. Ash-
worth and P. Arrowsmith, Bolton ; T. Barnes,
Farnworth ; J. It. Jeffrey, Liverpool ; William
Knott, Oldham ; James Hurst ; John Kay, Burn-
ley; J. B. Whitehead, Rawtenstall ; S. Grundy,
St. Helens, &c.

The Chairman said that, taking as a basis the
state of things in 1801, long before the Reform
Bill was thought of, Lancashire would now be
entitled to 50 members instead of 26. In 1814,
Lancashire paid as income tax £3,139,000, and in
.1857, £10,458,000 ; so' hat, upon the basis of the
.
proportion of representation to property in 1814,
Lancashire was in 1857 entitled to 47 members:
(Hear, hear.) 'The bill of 1832 was almost en-
tirely based upon the census returns of 1821 ; and
by that bill the Lancashire members were
,in-
creased from 14 to 26. Since 1821, the increase
in our population exceeded the present entire

Since ;
1821, the average increase in England and Wales,
our increase of population had been at the rate
of 125 per cent. The fourteen Lancashire
boroughs, now returning twenty-two members,
embraced a population, of 1,459,000; but there
were, in counties chiefly agricultural, ninety--one
boroughs, returning 160 members, although the
population was only 1,514,000. - (Hear, hear.) •
ThoSe ninety-one boroughs in 1857 paid £744,000
as property and income tax, while the fourteen
Lancashire boroughs paid £1,127,000. (Hear,
hear.) There were 106 members returned
by . a population no gteater, and` which paid
far less to the taxes named, than were
the population and the payment of Liver-
pool, which had two members ; in other words,
Liverpool had 1-250th of the representative power
of England and Wales, while about the same
population and far less property had more than
one-fifth ':of the whole of that power. (Hear;
hear.) - There were in Lancashire seven large
places without a representative for any of them;
although ,they numbered 180,000 inhabitants, in
collective area less than that of the borough of,
Wareliani, ..the area of which...was. forty-seven
Miles. The area of Manchester- was about ten
square miles ; but there 'were sixty-one boroughs
with a population only equal to that of .Man-
chester, although their area was 810 square miles.
Even deducting the seven unrepresented towns
which he had mentioned, North Lancashire would
be exceeded by only three counties or' divisions ;
and South Lancashire *a certainly not 'exceeded -
by any except the West Riding of Yorkshire.
To sum up, Lancashire, with one-eighth of the
population of England and Wales, and con-
tributing one-eighth 'of the total of the property
and income-tax,. had. only one-twentieth of
the representative power. (Hear, hear.) Mr..-
Alderman Goadsby, admitting. that no ex-
tension of the suffrage would be as beneficial
without as it would be with the ballot, and en-
forcing the necessity for efforts to secure the ballot
as soon as Possible, would still not refuse anything
in the way .of. extension that could be obtained
this session.—Mr. J. C. Dyer. thought that there
was *at *present only a sham.. representation,
especially as regarded .Lancashire ; and until that
was altered, no good world come to the people
in the way of effective control over our enormous
expenditure.—Mr. T. Barnes, as a thorough sup-
porter Of the ballot, believed that at present a
re-distribution of seats was of more consequence
to Lancashire thananything*else.—Mr. Alderman
Heywood said that no one cared more for the
ballot than 'he did. But he regarded the voting
power as a question of principle ; while he con-
sidered the' ballot as a means of siMplifying
elections and preventing abuses. Mr. Bright had
stated his willingness to take what could begot
this session ; and. his (Mr. Heywood) advice to
all the friends of Mr. Bright was, " Take Mr.
Bright as your guide, and support him to the
utmost of your power." (Applause.) After
some other gentlemen had addressed the meeting,
Mr. H. Ashworth moved that a deputation be
appointed to wait upon Lord John Russell, .to
enforce the claims of Lancashire to a greater
number of representatives. If Lord John Russell
would be prepared to re-distribute- only twenty=
six.members,: Lancashire could .not expect any-,
thing like the share to which it was entitled ; but,
under all the circumstances, he thought it desir-
able that we, should not clog the hands 'of' the
Government, but for the. present take. what. we
could get—not by any means forgetting the ballot,
but Still not-checking, by insisting upon it, any-
thing which the Government was disposed
honestly to do in the .way of reform.—Mr. J. It.
Jeffrey seconded the motion,- which was adopted
unanimously. :

A very , strong deputation was afterwards
named, with , power' to add to their number;the
list including the following, •---Alderman Sir E:
Armitage; Mr. George Wilson ; the Right Hon.
T. •M. Gibson,. M.P.; John Bright, Esq., M.P. ;
T. Batley, Esq., M.P.; W. J. Fox, Esq., M.P. ;
George Hadfield, Esq., M.P. ' • James Kershaw,
Esq., M.P. ; Joseph Crook, Esq., M.P.; with
representatives from Manchester and Liverpool;
and most of the leading towns or districts of the
county.
The interview with Lord John Russell will
prol)ably, take place shortly before the 20th, when
his lordship is to introduce the reform question
in the House of Commons.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEPIIL INVENTION.—There is nothing
that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,jaluable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such thing cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want
has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invertion,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, om
neighbour's, and the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hail is the
agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
themselves by looking in at his establishment. Agent for
