ABD-EL-KADER AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM,

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past one, the readers o
the British Museum were startled by the apparition of an
Arab chief and numerous attendants parading the reading-
room. The Arab chief was the illustrious Abd-el-Kador,
who arrived, accompanied by the French Consul. The
Emir and his suite on arriving at the museum proceeded to
the offices occupied by Mr. Panizzi, the chief secretary. By
this gentleman the party were conducted over tho various
departments of the museum, and the Emir expressed his
astonishment and delight at what ho saw—notably the
Egyptian department,
in which he spent a long time.

CH A.THAM.

Mr. A. J. Otway, who has been brought for ward
by the Liberals to contest this borough against Gen.
Sir J. M. Fred. Smith, the sitting member, has com-
menced an active canvass, and during the week has
addressed several meetings of his supporters. He
declares himself a warm supporter of the present
Administration and of the financial policy of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. lie is also in favour of
the total abolition of Church-rates, a large measure
of reform and vote by ballot, and an extended sys-
tem of national education. At all the meetings he
has addressed resolutions approving his principles
and pledging the voters to support him at the ensu-
ing election have been unanimously adopted. Mr.
Otway's views are believed to be in harmony with
those of the large majority of the electors, and from
the highly favourable result of his canvass his com-
mittee speak with the utmost confidence of his being
returned. Gen. Sir J. M. F. Smith has also addressed
a meeting of the Conservative electors, at which he
announced himself as again willing to content the
borough, if it was so desired. At the same time he
intimated his willingness to give way to a younger
man or any other candidate the party might prefer
in his place. It cannot be denied that Gen. Sir J. M.
Frederic Smith's recent speeches and votes in the
House of Commons have given great dissatisfaction
to his constituents, and especially his memorable
speech in Parliament in which he denounced the
work done in Chatham dockyard as inferior to that
in private shipbuilding yards. This, together with
the course he has pursued since he has been in Par-
liament, has alienated several of his best friends, and
his defeat at the ensuing election is looked upon as
certain.

AUGMENTATION OF THE ITALIAN IRON-CLAD
FLEET.—A royal decree has been published authorising
the expenditure of 16,562,000 lire for the construction of
two iron-clad frigates, two screw corvettes, and four iron-
clad gunboats. This sum will be distributed over the
budgets of the Ministry of Marine for the years 1865, 1866,
1867, and 1868. The Senate and Chamber of Deputies
have already approved the above expenditure.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Security against Bad Health.—With the warm sunny days
of spring, maladies will be made manifest unless the blood
be pure and the skin active. Eruptions, blotches, and
more formidable skin affections may be successfully sub-
jugated by the use of Holloway's deturgent ointment when
it is aided by moderate doses of his purifying pills. Hoarse-
ness, sore throat, chronic cough, enlarged glands, and stiff
neck will be at once relieved by rubbing this cooling oint-
ment upon the skin overlying or adjacent to the afflicted
part. Holloway's remedies have for many years been re-
commended in preference to all other means of healing
sores, wounds, and all varieties of ulcerations, and for
giving smoothness and elasticity to the skin.

ROCHESTER.

Both parties in this city are now engaged in a
vigorous canvass of the el9ctors, the Conservatives
having brought forward Mr. A. Smee, F.R.S., until
lately a member of the Reform Club, but now de-
scribing himself as a " progressive" Conservative, in
opposition to Mr. P. Wykeham Martin and Mr.
Sergeant Kinglake, the Recorder for Bristol, both of
whom have represented the city for a number of
years past. Mr. Smee has addressed several meet-
ings of his supporters, at all of which he has dealt in
the most violent attacks on the present Government
for their non-intervention, financial, and general
policy, and has avowed himself a warm adherent of
Lord Derby. From the present position of the two
parties in the city Mr. Smee's chances of success
wouldappear to be of the remotestpossible character,
while the principal leaders of the Conservative party
refuse to identify themselves in any way with him.
The election of the two members may therefore be
considered as certain.

DULWICH COLLEGE.

The Earl of HARROWBY moved for certain returns
showing the revenue, expenditure, numbers of persons
resident on the foundation, and other particulars in con-
nection with Dulwich College, which were ordered.
THE CASE OF CATHERINE GAUGHAN.

The Earl of BANDON asked why the sentence which
was passed on or about the 20th of April last on Sub-
Inspector Burke and other persons in the police force con-
cerned in the outrage on Catherine Gaughan at Ballisadore,
in the county of Sligo, had not been carried into effect.
Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that there
had been some misunderstanding in reference to this case ;
the circumstances connected with it led to some changes
being ordered with reference to the Irish constablary.
The Earl of LEITRIM objected to the power vested
in the police in Ireland, and he thought the law in
this case had not been properly carried out. He
considered that the Government should institute an in-
quiry into the general conduct of the police in Ireland.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH agreed with the last
speaker.

MILE-END OLD TOWN.

Mr. 11. S. LEGGE was elected district surveyor for this
hamlet, and expressed his acknowledgments to the Board
upon the occasion, promising a duo personal attendance to
the performance of the duties of the office.

THAMES EMBANKMENT.

A report from this committee was brought up, submit-
ting report by engineer as to the filling-in, &c., for the
Thames Embankment, and recommending that so much of
the report as relates to the material to be used for filling-in
behind the Thames Embankment, be approved, on condi-
tion that the same be taken from that part of the river
which will be contracted by the works of tho embankment.
Also recommending—That a deputation be appointed to
meet the Conservancy Board, to discuss the question of
the price charged for material supplied from the river.
Mr. NEWTON opposed its adoption, but in tho course of
a long discussion it was supported by Mr. Healey and Mr.
Roche, and opposed by Mr. Freeman, and Mr. Doulton,
M.P. Eventually the report was rejected, and a deputation
appointed to wait upon the Board of Conservators upon the
subject of dredging the river opposite the embankment.
London, England, 1865-06-03

LEWES.

Mr. Brand has issued his address, in which he
says :

" I rest my claim to your suffrages mainly upon the
ground that I have devoted myself zealously to the sup-
port of the Government of Lord Palmerston, which, I make
bold to say, has deserved well of the country. That Go-
vernment has been in power for six eventfulyears. Among
the striking events of that period we have seen Italy re-
generated. It has been a period of war abroad and of peace
at home. On the continent of Europe, Italy, Poland, and
Denmark have been, successively, the theatres of war ; and
in America a civil war of unparalleled magnitude and in-
tensity has raged for four years. Yet this country has,
under the blessing of God, enjoyed profound peace, which
has been preserved by strictly adhering, in conformity
with the sound public opinion of the country, to a policy
of neutrality. Peace at home has brought in its train
plenty and prosperity. During the last six years the wealth
of the country has increased beyond all former example.
Our foreign trade has been largely augmented, especially
that with France, of which you have evidence at your own
doors in the rapidly growing trade of Newhaven. Year
by year taxes have been reduced, of which the aggregate
sum, including the remissions of the present year, exceeds
£10,000,000 ; yet in the face of such largo remissions the
revenue continues to maintain its buoyancy. During the
same time debt amounting to above £17,000,000 has been
extinguished. Our annual expenditure since 1859 has also
been reduced by above £3,000,000. Meanwile the country
has been placed in a state of defence by fortifying naval
arsenals, and, above all, by the institution of a volunteer
army. Many domestic measures of practical usefulness
have been passed, and especially some having for their
object the wellbeing of the industrious classes. An attempt
was loyally made in 1860 to enlarge and amend the repre-
sentation of the people in Parliament, but that measure
failed, mainly because public opinion was not ripe for it.
Such are some of the leading events of the last six years.
They illustrate the career of an Administration which has
guided the destinies of this country for that period, and to
which lam proud to be attached. My political opinions
are so well known to you that I need scarcely repeat them.
They are not changed. I hold that our constitution would
derive renewed vigour through judicious reforms in our
representative system in accordance with the progress of
society, and our Church, of which I am an attached mem-
ber, would be strengthened, and its true interests pro-
moted, by the removal of the vexatious impost of a com-
pulsory rate."
London, England, 1865-06-03

MALTON.

Some weeks ago it was stated that Mr. James
Brown would retire from the representation of Mal-
ton ; but it is now stated that both he and Mr. Fitz-
william will re-offer themselves to the electors. The
Conservative party has increased of late years, and
there is some talk of trying to get a member re-
turned; but no steps have as yet been taken.

used in the construction of the Blanche, 4, 1,081 tons,
300-horse power, about to be laid down under No. 7
shed, from which the Lord Warden, iron-cased
frigate, was recently launched.
The Enchantress, paddle yacht, Staff-Commander

afternoon from the Mediterranean, bringing to Eng-
land Sir A. Magennis, from Lisbon, her Majesty's
Minister at the Court of the King of Portugal, and

jesty's ship Pelican. The Enchantress sailed from
Malta on the 23d of May, arrived at Gibraltar on
the 27th, and sailed thence again on the 29th, cal-
ling in at Lisbon on the 30th. Forty miles S.W. of
Cape Finisterre the screw steamship Demetrius was
sighted, under sail, which signalled that her main
shaft was broken, and desired to be reported.

June, 30th September, and 30th December in each year, at the
Company's Bankers. The first payment of interest will be
made on the 30th June next.
The distinctive feature in the debentures' issued by this
Company is their perfect security ; the amount of the capital
subscribed, paid-up, and uncalled, and the general invested
assets of the Company, as well as the large reserve fund,
affording the most ample security to the investor.
These Debentures are issued payable to bearer, and can
therefore pass by simple delivery from hand to hand, without
endorsement, and are free from any further stamp duty.
They are also issued—to meet the requirements of Trustees
and others—transferrable by Deed only, to be duly registered
in the Company's Books in the names of the Investors or
their Assigns.
Forms of Application can be obtained of the Secretary, to
whom all communications must be addressed.

By order of the Court,

There is some probability that there will be a double
contest for this borough at the general election.
The present members, Sir J. V. B. Johnston and
Mr. J. D. Dent, both Liberals, will offer themselves
for re-election, and preliminary steps have been
taken in favour of two local gentlemen. Mr. Robt.
Champney and Godfrey Knight, both of whom
profess to be moderate Conservatives. Each can-
didate stands alone, not being in coalition with any

granting a case, should it be applied for, into consideration.
When the magistrates entered the court and declared their
decision, in reply to an application for a case, they said
" We discussed the matter after we had arrived at our de-
cision whether we should quash the judgment subject to a
case or without a case. We decided to quash the judgment
without giving a case." I make this explanation to show
that the law was in no way ignored—that the matter was
fully discussed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Mr. Wigan was not satisfied with that
decision.

Mr. Poland—How many decisions will satisfy Mr.
Wigan ? He has brought us here three times. I may say—
" Thrice the brindled cat hath mew'd,"
but, perhaps,. if I accompany this quotation from Shak-
spere with gesture it may be deemed a stage play. It is a
groat hardship on Mr. Strange, when he had gone to a
great expense to take the case to the quarter sessions, that
he should be dragged here again and again. Mr. Roberts
had stated that the majority of the legal profession dis-
approved of the decision at quarter sessions. He believed
the reverse was the fact. He trusted that this decision
would be such as to be final, especially after the expendi-
ture of between £2OO and £3OO by Mr. Strange.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—All I can say is, that Mr. Wigan has a
right to come here and get another summons if not satisfied
with the decision of the magistrates, by which ho need not
be bound. The public at large cannot enter into the sub-
ject. They go to the Alhambra where no doubt they find
plenty to eat and drink, and they are satisfied. But this is
a dry question of law, and must be decided as such. I
adhere to my former opinion, which however may be again
upset. I practised for some years at the bar ; my experi-
ence has been mainly confined to Westminster Hall, and
country sessions, but I have not had much to do with the
Middlesex Sessions. What I shall now do will be to dis-
miss the summons, a course of which no one has a right to
complain, as I shall be ready to grant a case for any court
that may be decided upon. I trust that now these ques-
tions will be removed for ever from courts like this.
Tho summons was then dismissed.
