WESTBURY.

Lord Edward St. Maur, who for some weeks has
been a candidate in the Liberal interest for West-
bury, has withdrawn.

The Moniteur publishes a reply to an article in
the Presse against standing armies, in which the
writer, after assorting that life in barracks not only causes
the soldier to lose his previous habits of industry, but de-
moralises him, quotes a passage from a work of M. do
Girardin, declaring that the mortality in the rank and file
of the army is 22 per cent. among men between 20 and 30
years of age, while it is only 10 per cent is the civil popu-
lation of the same age. The Montteur declares that the as-
sertion with regard to the demoralisation of the soldier is
disproved by all statistics and by the eagerness with which
discharged soldiers are sought after by private individuals
and directors of commercial and industrial establishments
to fill places of trust. With regard to the statement respect-
ing the mortality in the army, the Moniteur says that the
statistics the Presse drew its conclusions from are those be-
longing to years prior to 1846, since which time a great
change has taken
place, as shown by the Statistique Medicale
of the army published by the Ministry of War in 1864. That
work proves that the mortality in the army in Franco was
9.42 per 1,000 in 1862, and only 9.22 in 1863 ; the mortality
in civil life, between the ages of 20 and 30, being 9.29 per
1,000, which is higher than it was in the army for all ages
in 1863. Even including the troops in Africa and in Italy,
the average mortality is only 10 per 1,000, instead of 22
per cent., as stated by the Presse.

LADVERTISEMENT.I-13olloway's Ointment and Pills.—
A Word of Promise.—All sufferers from sores, ulcers,
scorbutic affections, and skin diseases, may confidently
commence the treatment of their several infirmities with
these healing and well-tried medicaments; the worst cases
will soon assume a kinder aspect, and in the progress of
the cure the afflicted will neither be embarrassed by diffi-
culties nor disheartened by failures. A little perseverance
and moderate attention to the " directions for use," enve-
loping every packet of ointment and pills, will enable every
invalid to conduct his complaint to a successful issue, and
he may feel assured that, by following this simple but
searching treatment, his skin will be made sound, severe
suffering seared, and health restored.

HONITON.

This borough will be contested at the ensuing
election. The present members are Mr. G. Moffatt,
Liberal, and Mr. Alexander Baillie-Cochrane, Con-
servative. Mr. Moffat, has, however, resigned in
favour of Mr. F. D. Goldsmid, who has recently
become the possessor of the Honiton manor. Mr.
Cochrane has offered himself for re-election, and
Mr. Goldsmid is put forward by the Liberals, in
the room of Mr. Moffatt. The Liberal party haVe
also introduced a second candidate in the person of
Mr. Evan M. Richards, a gentleman of Swansea,
with the view of upsetting Mr. Cochrane. The
three candidates arenow, with their friends, actively
engaged in canvassing the borough.

NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.-Mr. F. S.
Blockey, of Baghdad, has forwarded to the National Life-
boat Institution .£5, being the sum received by him from.
Mr. Percival, late of the Indian Telegraph, for the recovery
of the body of the late Mr. E. Archer, who was drowned
off Maaghil, near Busreh, on the 18th February last.

THE TAX ON COTTON.—As there appears to be a
wide difference of opinion even among well-informed
men in all quarters as to the precise effect of the executive
proclamation of the 13th inst. on the cotton trade, it is
thought proper to state that all restrictions on trade inthat
article east of the Mississippi are removed, and the only tax
it is now required to pay is that of two cents. per pound
imposed by the internal revenue laws. New York.

HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOT-
LAND.—The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh
on Wednesday, the Earl of Rosslyn presiding. 120 new
members were balloted for and admitted. The secretary
reported that for the general show to be held at Inverness
on the first week in August there were 325 head of cattle,
125 horses, 850 head of sheep, 38 swine, 288 poultry, and
700 implements entered. The exhibition of stock would
be larger than at any of the society's shows since 1859.
The show for 1866 would be held at Glasgow, and and of
1867 at Aberdeen.

DEATH OF A WIFE-BEATER IN A POLICE-CELL.—.
Yesterday an inquest was held in Red Cross-street,
on the body of John Schooly, aged 35 years. It appears
that on Tuesday the deceased was taken into custody by
the police for a brutal assault on his wife, and locked up in
a cell of the Moor-lane station. On Wednesday morning
he was found to bo dead, and the medical evidence showed
that death had resulted from softening of the brain. The
jury returned a verdict that deceased was found lying
dead in a cell at the Moor-lane police station, and that his
death was caused by softening of the brain.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRUTON.—FROME,
Friday.—This morning the pointsman, James
Andrews, who was yesterday taken into custody on the
charge of manslaughter in connection with the fatal occur-
rence at the Bruton Railway station, was brought bafore C.
Barton, Esq., at the Wincanton Town-hall, in custody of
Sergeant Sheppard, of the county constabulary, Mr Burton,
superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, and
Mr. Morrison, the inspector. The evidence taken was en-
tirely formal, Henry Pearce, a guard, proving the fatal re-
sult of the accident, and Inspector Morrison the apprehen-
sion of the prisoner. Mr. Barton remanded him till such
time as further inquiry shall have been made into the mat-
ter. The injured me; we are glad to say, are progressing
as favourably as it is expected they can from the severe
shock they received. One is at the Crown and the other
at the Wollaston Hotel, and, under the charge of Dr
Heginbotham and Mr. Stockwell, are doing well and
favourably.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

THE FOREIGN PROSTITUTE NUISANCE IN REGENT-STREET.

Clementina Brunetti was charged before Mr. Knox with
loitering in Regent-street for an immoral purpose, and also
with annoying Mr. Henry Dolby, engraves, of Regent-
street.

Mr. Dolby said that about 10 the previous night he saw
the prisoner walking up and down Regent-street as a com-
mon prostitute, and accosting every gentleman who passed
her. Ho watched her, in company with a constable, for
some time, and was about to give her into custody for an-
noying him as an inhabitant of the street, when she came
up and asked him to go home with her. He then gave her
into custody.
In answer to Mr. Knox, Mr. Dolby said the prisoner had
been in the habit of walking up and down Regent-street
for several years.

Police-constable 201 C corroborated Mr. Dolby's evi-
dence, and proved seeing the prisoner accost several
gentlemen.

Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 405., or a month.
ROBBERY AT THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.--James Fuller, a
plumber, and Thomas Bates, his apprentice, were charged
before Mr. Knox with stealing some lead, the property of
Mr. F. Strange, of the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square.

Bates was seen this morning with a bag on his shoulder
by Mr. Littlejohn, builder, of Central-hill, Norwood, in
whose employ the prisoners were. Mr. Littlejohn asked
where he was going, and he said to Norwood. His suspi-
cion being aroused he followed Bates as far as St. Martin's
Church and then stopped him, and on putting some ques-
tions to him he said the bag contained "stuff," and that ho
bad been sent with it to Mr. Haverson's by Fuller. He told
Bates he should give him in charge, and he asked to be
taken back to the Palace, and on arriving there the bag
was opened, and found to contain lead, the property of Mr.
Strange. Fuller then admitted that he had sent the lead
by Bates, and that he alone was to blame. The prisoners
were then given into custody by Mr. Strange.
Fuller put no questions, admitting that all that was said
against him was true.

Mr. Glover, in the employ of Mr. Strange, having iden-
tified the load as Mr. Strange's property,
176 C said that on taking the prisoners into custody
Fuller said he did not see why Bates should suffer for him.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, but took Bates's own
recognisances to appear on the next occasion, when the
prisoners will be sent for trial.

Rattray's Estate, and Southern Railway.

COTTAGES IN SCOTLAND.

In reply to Mr. KIiricAIRD,

Sir G. GREY said he had but a short time ago received
a report from the Inclosure Commissioners, but he would
lay it on the table without the slightest delay. •

THE MACKAY GUN.

In reply to Mr. J. EWART,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the Mackay gun
had been sent to Shoeburyness for trial, and had accord=
ingly been tried by the Ordnance Select Committee. No
report had yet been received, nor was it usual to
forward such reports to the Government until
trials of that nature were all finished. No
order had been given to put this gun through competitive
trials with other guns, and it therefore would not be fired
in competition with the service gun. It would be very
inconvenient to lay the report on the table until a decision
had been arrived at by the Secretary of War. He did not
think it would be likely that the report would be sent in
during the present session, and therefore it would be quite
impossible to lay it on the table of the house.
MASTERS IN THE NAVY.

In reply to Mr. CORRY,
Mr. CHILDERS said it was not the intention of the
Admiralty to take any further steps relating to the aboli-
tion of the rank of master in her Majesty's Navy than
those already taken at present. No order in Council would
be issued on the subject.
TROOPS AT ALDERSHOT.

Col. S. KNOX asked the Under Secretary for War
whether it was intended to grant field allowances to the
flying columns at Aldershot ?
Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not usual to
grant field allowances to such of the troops unless they
were under the fire of the enemy. He would, however,
make inquiry into the subject.
THE LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT.

Mr, HUNT said on Monday next he should submit a
motion to the house to the effect that the evidence taken
before the committee on this subject disclosed a system of
obtaining official employment by corrupt means, and that
the evidence taken before the committee withreSpect to the
case of Leonard Edmunds shows a laxity on the part of the
Lord Chancellor, and that such laxity is highly reprehen-
sible, and calculated to throw discredit on the high offices
of the State. (Hear, hear.)

THE MACKAY GITN.

In reply to Mr. J. EWART,
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the Mackay gun
had been sent to Shoeburyness for trial, and had accord-
ingly been tried by the Ordnance Select Committee. No
report had yet been received, nor was it usual to
forward such reports to the Government until
trials of that nature were all finished. No
order had been given to put this gun through competitive
trials with other guns, and it therefore would not be fired
in competition with the service gun. It would be very
inconvenient to lay the report on the table until a decision
had been arrived at by the Secretary of War. He did not
think it would be likely that the report would be sent in
during the present session, and therefore it would be quite
impossible to lay it on the table of the house.
MASTERS IN THE NAVY.
In reply to Mr. CORRY,
Mr. CHILDERS said it was not the intention of the
Admiralty to take any further stops relating to the aboli-
tion of the rank of master in her Majesty's Navy than
those already taken at present. No order in Council would
be issued on the subject.
TROOPS AT ALDERSHOT.

Col. S. KNOX asked the Under Secretary for War
whether it was intended to grant field allowances to the
flying columns at Aldershot ?
Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not usual to
grant field allowances to such of the troops unless they
were under the fire of the enemy. Ho would, however,
make inquiry into the subject.
THE LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT.

Mr. HUNT said on Monday next ho should submit a
motion to the house to the effect that the evidence taken
before tho committee on this subject disclosed a system of
obtaining official employment by corrupt means, and that
the evidence taken before the committee with respect to the
case of Leonard Edmunds shows a laxity on the part of the
Lord Chancellor, and that such laxity is highly reprehen-
sible, and calculated to throw discredit on the high pffices
of the State. (Hear, hear.)

ESSEX (SOUTH).

Contrary to general expectation the Conserva-
tives have resolved to contest this division, and yes-
terday an address appeared from Lord Eustace
Gascoigne Cecil, son of the Marquis of Salisbury.
Lord Eustace says he is as much attached to " our
ancient and beloved Church" as he is opposed to
any legislation tending to subvert the well-balanced
institutions of our free country." lie is, therefore,
decidedly averse to any measure which would have
a tendency to deprive the venerable fabrics of our
Church of that support on which from time imme-
morial their maintenance has depended. At the
same time he is ready to vote for " any just measure
that would give satisfaction to the legitimate scruples
of those who do not conform to the Established
Church." His lordship views the malt-tax with the
" strongest disfavour." With regard to Parlia-
mentary Reform, he cannot approve the " crude
projects recently introduced into Parliament ;" but
he should be prepared to give a favourable conside-
ration to any proposal for the revision of the fran-
chise which would include the unrepresented intelli-
gence and property of the country. There are now
three candidates in the field, Mr. H. J. Selwin and
Lord Eustace Cecil in the Conservative interest,
and Mr. R. Wingfield-Baker in the Liberal interest.

WESTBURY.

Lord Edward St. Maur, who for some weeks has
been a candidate in the Liberal interest for West-
bury, has withdrawn.

The Itioniteur publishes a reply to an article in
the Presse against standing armies, in which the
writer, after asserting that life in barracks not only causes
the soldier to lose his previous habits of industry, but de-
moralises him, quotes a passage from a work of M. de
Girardin, declaring that the mortality in the rank and file
of the army is 22 per cent. among men between 20 and 30
years of age, while it is only 10 per cent in the civil popu-
lation of the same age. The Iloniteur declares that the as-
sertion with regard to the demoralisation of the soldier is
disproved by all statistics and by the eagerness with which
discharged soldiers are sought after by private individuals
and directors of commercial and industrial establishments
to fill places of trust. With regard to the statement respect-
ing the mortality in the army, the Moniteur says that the
statistics the Presse drew its conclusions from are those be-
longing to years prior to 1846, since which time a great
change has taken place, as shown by the Statistique Medicale
of the army published by the Ministry of War in 1864. That
work proves that the mortality in the army in France was
9.42 per 1,000 in 1862, and only 9.22 in 1863 ; the mortality
in civil life, between the ages of 20 and 30, being 9.29 per
1,000, which is higher than it was in the army for all ages
in 1863. Even including the troops in Africa and in Italy,
the average mortality is only 10 per 1,000, instead of 22
per cent., as stated by the Presse.

The Conservatives have acted wisely in deciding
not to attempt any opposition to the return of

Messrs. Baring and Gurney, b,lth of whom havie
this week issued addresses.

GRANTHAM.
Mr. J. H. Thorold has issued an adViress solicit-,
ing election on Conservative principles.

HERTFORD.

There is not likely to be any contest for the re-
presentation for the borough of He xtford. The
Right Hon. W. Cowper and Sir M Alto Farquhar,
the present members for the borourgh, will walk over
the course. Mr. Cowper has just; issued his address.

He says :
" Experience has shown the soundness of the political
principles on which I obtained your suffrages, :and their
adaptation to the requirements and the character of the na-
tion. Those principles are rightly called Liberal, since they
result in the liberation of trade from unnecessary restric-
tions, of the exercise of constitutional duties from unlaw-
ful and corrupt influence, and of conscientious convictions
from secular disabilities. Liberal principles require the re-
form of abuses, and the redress of injustice wherever pos-
sible, and demand that the administration of the powers of
the State should be directed with a view to the moral, in-
tellectual, and social improvement of the people. No one
will deny that the development of Liberal principles dur-
ing the present Parliament has tended to produce the pro-
sperity which the country is now enjoying, and I believe
that a continuance in the same course will afford the best
prospect of augmenting the public welfare."
London, England, 1865-07-01

RETFORD (EAST).

Mr. F. J. S. Foljambe, in his address to the elec-
tors, says that his chief reliance for their support is
that he is a member of that Liberal party whose
measures have been one by one triumphantly car-
ried, and have strengthened the constitution—mea-
sures whereby Government have since 1859 been
enabled to reduce the taxation of the people 16
millions sterling, and to discharge an equal amount
of national debt ; and all this in the face of two bad
harvests and the cotton famine. Lord Galway's
address is just issued. He says that if in the next
Parliament a bill is brought forward to amend the
representation of the people, he shall give the subject
his best attention ; and if an extension of the fran-
chise is proposed, he hopes that due precaution will
be taken that mere numbers be not allowed to pre-
dominate over the joint claims of education, intelli-
gence, and property.

ROCHDALE.
Yesterday Mr. T. B. Potter issued an address,

offering hin•~delf as a candidate, to the electors of
Rochdalf:;. He says
" 7; hen two months agp you placed me in the proud po-
P.:Lon of representing you in Parliament, I entered fully into
all the questions of public interest ; and I adhered entirely
to every opinion I expressed on that occasion. From my
short experience of Parliamentary life I am more than ever
convinced of the necessity of combined and united action
on the part of the advanced Liberals in the house to com-
pel the Government to bring forward a satisfactory Reform
Bill, greatly to reduce the national expenditure, to persevere
in the application of the great principles of commercial
freedom, and fully to recognise in every department of
Church and State civil and religious liberty. Should Ibo
honoured with a renewal of your confidence I will do my
utmost to promote such objects."

So far as can be ascertained there is no likelihood
of an opposition to Mr. potter's re-election,

ROCHESTER.

Mr. P. W. Martin and Mr. Sergeant J. A. King
lake, Recorder of Bristol, the two sitting members
for this city, have completed their canvass of the
electors, and in a joint address issued to the freemen
and electors yesterday they announce that they have
received a very considerable majority of the pro-
mises of the electors, and have no doubt of their
being returned at the ensuing election. Both candi-
dates are exceedingly popular among the electors,
and their re-election is considered a matter of cer-
tainty. Mr. Alfred Smee, who is taunted by his op-
ponents with being a renegade from the Liberal
ranks, is actively canvassing on the Conservative
side, but his chances of success are very small, and
it is generally thought that he will not go to the
poll. Up to the present time no second Conserva-
tive candidate has been brought forward to contest
the second seat.

WESTMINSTER.

On Saturday, in the forenoon, Mr. Sella, the presiding
magistrate, had the greater portion of his time occupied
with the papers of pensioners entitled to receive pensions
at Chelsea Hospital. This ceremony takes place once a
year at the various police courts, the signature of a police
magistrate being required to the document. There were
as many as beween 700 and 800 applicants. At each of the
police courts of the metropolis, also, there were almost as
many applications, and in consequence some slight delay
took place in the regular routine of business of the court.

THE PROGRESS OF INTENIPERANCE.—There were no
cases to engage the attention of the magistrate but charges
of drunkenness, and of these there were but seven, each of
which was charged with being drunk and incapable.
There were various defences set up as apologies. One
stated that her husband had left her, and that in conse-
quence she had a deal of trouble on her mind. Another
said that her husband was out all night, and that she was
looking after him. A third and fourth—mere boys—said
they did not know what to say, but they were very sorry.
A fifth was found lying on the pavement insensibly drunk.
As she was a woman well known to the police for her in-
temperate habits she was sent to prison for seven days.
The other prisoners were fined in mitigated penalties.

OXFORDSHIRE.

Mr. Henley, M.P., yesterday issued his address
soliciting re-election. He says :
" I have no new opinions to put forward. Having
passed now nearly half a century as a working man among
you, probably you know me inside and out far better than
I know myself. It would, therefore, be idle for me to say
further than this, that if you do me the honour to re-elect
me, I shall not delay, if health or strength fail me, to return
the trust to your hands."
Colonel North and Colonel Fane have also issued
their addresses. The former considering his 13
years' connexion with the county, deems it unneces-
sary to enter into a detailed statement of his political
opinions. Col. Fane assures the constituency of
his firm adherence to Conservative principles, and
declares himself opposed to the abolition of Church
rates, without a substitute, in favour of economy and
retrenchment, of any extension of the franchise by
which the industry and intelligence of the country
can be more efficiently represented, and of a policy
of non-intervention in the affairs of other nations.
The hon. members will have a walk over, it being
understood that Sir Henry Dashwood, the Liberal
candidate on a former occasion, will come in without
opposition whenever a vacancy occurs.

HONITON.

This borough will be contested at the ensuing
election. The present members are Mr. G. Moffatt,
Liberal, and Mr. Alexander Baillie-Cochrane, Con--
servative. Mr. Moffat, has, however, resigned in
favour of Mr. F. D. Goldsmid, who has recently
become the possessor of the Honiton manor. Mr.
Cochrane has offered himself for re-election, and
Mr. Goldsmid is put forward by the Liberals, in
the room of Mr. Moffatt. The Liberal party have
also introduced a second candidate in the person of
Mr. Evan M. Richards, a gentleman of Swansea,
with the view of upsetting Mr. Cochrane. The
three candidates arenow, with their friends, actively
engaged in canvassing the borough.

Sir T. B. Western, the Liberal candidate, has

of the franchise as shall be in accordance with the
just rights of a free and enlightened people."
