Sir Henry Willoughby is expected to visit Evesham
in a few days.
GREEN WICH .—The requisition to Mr. Chambers,
to allow himself to be again nominated as a candidate
for the representation of the borough of Greenwich,
has been signed by nearly 1,300 electors, who pledge
themselves to use every endeav6nr to secure his elec-
tion. Of this number, we understand, above 500
persons voted on the last occasion for Admiral
Stewart, when Mr. Chambers obtained 1,244 votes ;
and although the whole of the electors who voted for
Mr. Chambers at the late election have not signed the
requisition, there is not one instance where any objec-
tion has been made to again vote for Mr. Chambers.
His cause is gaining strength daily, and his supporters
are working in his favour with zeal, activity, and
efficiency. The leading Reformers of the borough,
who stood aloof from taking any active part in the
last election, are one after another giving their adhe-
sion to his party.—Kentish Mercury.
GREENOCK.—At a meeting of the electors of
Greenock on Thursday, resolutions were passed de-
claring confidence in Lord Melgund. His Lordship
was present, and a committee was appointed for con-
ducting his canvass.
LAMBETH.—The following address has been exten-
sively circulated :—" We, the undersigned electors of
the borough of Lambeth, feeling convinced that any
attempt to re-impose a tax on the food of the people
will meet with the firm and uncompromising opposi-
tion of our present Members, the Right Hon. Charles
Tennyson D'Eyncourt, and W. Williams, Esq., and
assured also that their continued efforts will be used
to amend our representative system, promote financial
reform, and adopt measures for the advancement of
civil and religious liberty, do earnestly invite the co-
operation of the electors and non-electore at large to
secure the return of those gentlemen as our represen-
tatives in the ensuing Parliament." The Lambeth
people, sinking all minor differences, have determined
to return their present Members; and to the above
address there are already the signatures of upwards
of a thousand of the most influential men in the
borough.
NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. The Nottingham
Journal says that Lord Robert Clinton is prosecuting
his canvass with so much success that his return for
the division is almost certain.
NOTTINGHAM.—There are now three candidates for
this borough, Mr. Walter, Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Gis-
borne. From their addresses, says the Nottingham
Journal, it might be difficult to choose amongst them,
for all are Free-traders, and all are Reformers, the dif-
ference in the latter respect being only in degree, and
in the former none at all.
NORTH DEvoN.—The Devon and Exeter Protec-
tion Society have threatened the constituency of this
division of the county with a second Protectionist
candidate in the person of Mr. George Stuckley
Buck, son of the present Member (L. W. Buck,
Esq.), in opposition to Sir Thomas Acland, who has
confessed himself staunch to free-trade principles.
After a great deal of exertions on the part of thelPro-
tection Society to get up such a requisition as would
induce Mr. Buck to stand, the affair has ended
in a total failure the candidate is with-
drawn, and the Protectionists are looking abroad
for somebody else. Sir Thomas Acland will be sure
to be re-elected it is said. If the Protectionists had
not withdrawn their man, the Liberal party, which is
very strong in the north of Devon, would have pro-
bably brought forward James Wentworth Buller,
Esq., of Downes (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway) ; and it is asserted that he would have
been returned in conjunction with Sir T. Acland.
The Protectionists are now under great apprehension
lest the Hon. Gentleman should be introduced.
PAISLEY.—On Wednesday evening a meeting of the
electors and non-electors of Paisley was held in the
United Presbyterian Church, St. James's-street, for
the purpose of hearing Mr. Hely, wbo has come forward
in opposition to Mr. A. Hastie. Bailie Telford occupied
the chair. Mr. Hely avowed himself in favour of
free trade, household suffrage, vote by ballot, and
triennial Parliaments. He was opposed to the en-
dowment of Maynooth, and would, if elected, vote for
its repeal. The sentiments of Mr. Haly appeared to
meet with a favourable reception ; snd a motion that
he was a fit and proper person to represent Paisley in
Parliament was passed unanimously. Mr. Italy, who
practises at the English bar, is known as a clever
political writer in some of our leading reviews and
daily journals.—North British Mail.
PRESTON.—Various communications have passed
between Henry Raikes, Esq., of Chester, and the
committee of the Preston Conservative Association
and Registration Society, with a view to his introduc-
tion to the electors of this borough as a Conservative
candidate. Mr. Raikes is son of the venerable Chan-
cellor Raikes, of Chester, and is himself registrar of
that diocese. He was an unsuccessful candidate for
the representation of Derby at the last general elec-
tion.—Preston Chronicle.
SOUTH HANTS.—The Conservatives have resolved
to send a requisition to Lord Henry Cholmondeley,
to come forward as candidate for South Hants, and
there is every reason to believe his Lordship will
comply with such a requisition, and stand as a col
league with Mr. Compton in contesting the county.
As the requisitionists to Lord Henry will be the prin-
cipal persons who brought forward Lord Charles
Wellesley, it is presumed that the latter will shortly
cease to be connected with South Hants. Sir John
Barker Mill, Bert., and the principal of the Liberals
of South Hants, will hold a meeting at Matcham's
hotel, in Southampton, on Wednesday next, to adopt
preliminary measures to secure the election of Sir
George Staunton, Bart., for the southern division of
Hampshire.
SHREWSRURT.—Mr. Slaney, who has so long re-
presented this borough in Parliament, has, this day
(Friday), published a valedictory address to his con-
stituents, in which he intimates his intention, at the
close of the present session, to retire into private
life. Mr. Tomline, who represented the borough
from 1841 till the general election in 1847, when he

SOUTHAMI'TON.—There appears no probability at
present of a Conservative candidate coming forward
as colleague of Mr. Baillie Cochrane. It is intended
to call a public meeting of the constituency of this
borough at the latter end of this week, at which Mr.
Willcox and Sir Alexander Cockburn,
,the present
Liberal Members, will be present.

WRECK OF THE STEAMER PORTONDGRcRII 30.EA1

1-L OSAmSostall4a. lamentable occur-
rence
has thrown this city into the greatest consternation,
all her passengers (36 in number) having perished,
and only seven of her crew saved. That unfortunate
vessel sailed from this on Sunday morning for Lis-
bon, and from some cause or another bore up again
after being as far south as Figueira, and on taking
the bar last evening about six o'clock she struck on
some rocks called the " Forcados," inside the bar,
when the anchor was let go, but somehow or other
she drifted, and, not answering her helm, she got em-
bedded in a reef of rock., where no aid could be sent
to her; and, night coming on, she went to pieces in
a few hours. Among the sufferers are Mr. Joseph
Allen, of this place, and two daughters ; Mr. Ander-
son, from London, shipowner, who was here on ao-
count of the Harriet, bound to Australia ; Mons.
Destrees, French Consul at this port; Mr. Ander-
son's nephew; Senhor Jose Augusto da Silveira
Pinto, nephew of the well-known Senhor Albano, of
Lisbon; Senhor Antonio Jose Placido Braga; Sen.
hor Francisco Vieira de Sousa Oliveira, of the Com.
mercial Bank.
As yet no bodies have been picked up.

Some of the leading Australian Gold Mining Com-
panies have already applied for Royal Charters of Incorpo.
tion, and we believe that others are about to follow the ex-
ample. As the responsibility of the shareholders will be
thereby limited to the amount for which they have sub-
scribed, we have no doubt that the charter, when obtained,
will lead to an increased demand for shares in the compa-
nies, which have adopted so prudent and judicious a counts.
