LAIN CASTER.

There is every prospect of a warm contest for the
representation of this borough, as we have now four
candidates in the field. The present members have
not yet issued addresses, but their friends are taking
active measures in their behalf. Then we have Mr.
F. S. Hind, who last year introduced himself to the
electors, redeeming the pledge he then gave ; he has
issued a preliminary address, and, in addition to
that, a notification that he will address them on
Saturday. To-day we have the address of Mr. E.
Lawrence, of Liverpool, who has been brought out
by the Conservative party in the town. He is what
may be called a Liberal Conservative, for he says
that, though associated with that party who recog-
nise Lord Derby as the political chief, he would
always endeavour to consider every question, whe-
ther affecting Imperial or local interests, apart from
political bias. On the Reform question he expresses
himself opposed to manhood and rating suffrage,
and equally objects to the Borough Franchise Bill
recently before Parliament, yet he would be glad to
see the privilege of voting given to all who are qua-
lified to appreciate and enjoy it. As a sincere friend
of the Church of England, he would uphold that
connexion with the State, which has proved such a
source of blessing to the nation, while he would
gladly remove, if possible, all causes of irritation
among those who conscientiously dissent from her
doctrines and policy. He advocates free trade to its
fullest extent compatible with ''a fair and equi-
table adjustment of taxation, and would support
" such an economic distribution of the national
finances as is consistent with a due regard to the
efficiency of all branches of the public service, and
the maintenance of the dignity and independence of
the empire."

BEVERLEY.

On Wednesday Mr. David Keane, Q.C., issued
his address to the Liberal electors of Beverley. In
this address Mr. Keane says :

. "I am informed that Liberal opinions are those of the
majority of you. By Liberal opinions, I mean the belief
that the unrepresented classes are worthy of being repre-
sented. lam for a large extension of the franchise, for
vote by ballot, and religious equality. Finally, lam for
continuous and uninterrupted progress, such as an extended
and free suffrage will secure, and I fail wholly to under-
stand why the men of 30 years ago had a right to fix the
franchises of the people of England."
In the Conservative interest there are two candi-
dates—viz., Colonel Edwards, the present member,
and Mr. Christopher Sykes, son of the late Sir
Tatton Sykes. Addresses from the candidates are
announced for next week.

PRISONS' BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.
The remaining clauses were agreed to.
On the schedule relating to punishment,
Mr. 11113NDAY thought that power should be given to
inflict severe punishment on women, more than was done
at present. He proposed an amendment, allowing the hair
to be cut short in extreme cases.
Mr. BRISCOE opposed the amendment.
Mr. BARROW said that extreme cases did sometimes
occur. He knew of a case where a woman of the most
violent temper was confined in jail, and the authorities
were powerless to prevent her screaming and singing
obscene songs at the top of her voice.

Sir D. LEIGHTON said he was aware of a case where a
woman was so violent that it was necessary to put her in
irons and handcuffs to protect the prison officers from her
violence. She remained in that state for fourteen days
before she begged pardon. On another occasion she
threatened the matron, and told her she had not the power
to flog her. However, the matron, who had just at this
time resigned her appointment as she was going to
be married, hearing the woman going on in the most
disorderly manner went into the ward and gave her
a sound flogging, and she never created a disturbance
again. The conduct of the matron was illegal, that he
knew, and she would have been discharged had matters
been different ; but the matter showed that severe punish-
ment,had its virtue.

A division, however, took place on the clause, the
original amendmout having been withdrawn fn favour of
inserting some words suggested by the hon. member for
Northampton.

The amendment was negatived.

With respect to the religious instruction of prisoners,
Sir G. GREY said the provisions of the Prison Ministers
Act was embodied in the bill under discussion. According
to which each prisoner on entering a prison was called upon
to state his belief. There was no compulsory attendance
required at particular periods by all prisoners at one place
of religious instruction.

The schedules and preamble were then agreed to, and the
bill was ordered to be reported to the house with amend-
ments. The report was ordered to be brought up on
Thursday next.
The sitting of the house was then suspended.

PFMBROKE.

Sir Hugh Owen, the member for this borough,
has signified his intention of seeking re-election at
the dissolution of Parliament. Sir Hugh is a mo-
derate Liberal, and at the death of his father, the
late Sir John Owen, he was elected by a large ma-
jority over his opponent, Mr. Meyrick. It appears,
however, that the Conservatives are in no wise
daunted by the defeat they then experienced, and it
is announced that they will bring Mr. Meyrick for-
ward again. Sir Hugh Owen has given such gene-
ral satisfaction by his votes and public conduct that
the Liberals entertain no doubt as to his success.

KNARESBOROUGH.

In the election intelligence from this borough
which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, Mr. Basil
T. Woodd, M.P., is described as " a Liberal." We
are requested to state that this is an error. Mr.
Woodd has always acted as a consistent, though in-
dependent, member of the Conservative party.

STAFFORD.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Alderman Sidney, the
Liberal member for Stafford, addressed a crowded
meeting of his constituents in the Lyceum Theatre.
He said he had not voted for Mr. Baines's £6 Fran-
chise Bill during the present session, believing its
introduction to be nothing but political claptrap and
a mere electioneering device on thepart of the mem-
ber for Leeds. The Government professed to sup-
port the measure, but one of its members made upon
it the most damaging speech possible, stating that
they would not be pledged by it, but would see what
the country said about it. He regretted this speech
had been made, as unless the Government had
principle the country was not safe. Mr. Baines
knew well that a £6 francise bill by itself could
never be passed into law, and that even if it were
passed it would work every possible danger to the
Constitution. The reform bill really needed was
one which would recognise every possible interest
under the Constitution, which a £6 franchise bill
would not do. In his opinion it would be a wise
and conservative policy, and one that would set the
reform question entirely at rest, to pass a compre-
hensive measure admitting at least 3,000,000 elec-
tors. In support of his views Mr. Sidney quoted an
article from the Times, to the effect that a £6 fran-
chise was full of danger to the Constitution, and
that a good sound household suffrage would be far
preferable. He went on to say that if they were to
have any more patching of the Constitution it
should be based on some broad principle that every
one could understand. In his opinion, every man
who paid his rates, and had been a householder,
was fit to be intrusted with the exercise of the fran-
chise. (Applause.) In answer to questions from
several burgesses Alderman Sidney said he was de-
cidedly in favour of even a further extension of the
suffrage than Mr. Baines's bill involved; but if a
law were proposed in the next Parliament merely
extending the franchise to the £6 householders, and
containing no other provision, he would not vote
for it, because he considered it would be an absur-
dity and an injustice. If they wanted him, for the
purpose of catching any stray votes, to promise
them or any other body of men that he would go
into Parliament and destroy the Constitution under
which we lived, they would find themselves disap-
pointed. In conclusion, he urged the electors to
make a strong effort to return two Liberal members
to the next Parliament. A vote of confidence in the
hon. member was then passed, and Mr. Sidney, in
acknowledging the compliment, said he should again
appear on the hustings at the next election. Mr. A.
Bass, son of the member for Derby, will be the
other Liberal candidate.

TAUN TON.

Great activityis displayed by both political parties
in this borough, and the number of voters on each
side being so evenly balanced,- the contest will be a
severe one. Mr. B6itinck, one of the Conservative
members, retires, and Mr. E. N. Cox, Recorder for
Falmouth, seeks to occupy his place. Mr. A. Millet
one of the present Conservative members, will again
offer himself ; and Lord William Hay, a son of the
Marquis of Tweeddale, will, in conjunction with
Mr. Barclay, the eminent London brewer, fight the
battle of the Liberals.

ROACH RIVER BILL.

Mr. C. FORSTER moved the second reading of this
. bilL

3lr. HUNT opposed the bill. lie had no interest in it ;
and did not know, until a few days since, where the
river was. It was, however, a small river in Essex.
Several parties had rights to oyster beds there, while there
were four miles of the river in which there were no pro-
prietary rights. The object of the bill was to incorporate
a company to have a monopoly of cultivating the oysters
there to tho exclusion of those who had obtained a living
by fishing there. He concluded that all such matters
ought to be arranged for by a general bill. He moved as
an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day
three months.

Mr. BRIUISTON said the bill had been well considered
in the House of Loids, where it had been passed.
Mr. Cox opposed and Mr. WATLINGTON supported the

After some discussion the amendment was negatived,
and the bill was read a second time.
THE LATE FICTITIOUS SIGNATURES TO
PETITIONS.
Lord C. RUSSELL, the Sergeant-at-Arms, appeared
on the floor of the house, and said that in accordance
with a warrant entrusted to him he arrested Powell
Marshall and Henry Whitehead, and they were now
in his custody. The warrant for the apprehension of
George Morris Mitchell he had been unable to execute.
Mr. HENNESSY presented petitions from Marshall and
Whitehead expressing their contrition, and moved that they
be discharged, especially as they had no money to pay the
fees.

Mr. C. FOSTER, as chairman of the committee, offered
no objection to the motion.

Sir. W. FRASER thought that if such light punishment
were to be inflicted it would tend very much to increase
their number.

Sir C. GREY said that the men were merely agents, and
as they had been in custody a week, he thought the punish-
ment they had suffered was sufficient.
The motion was agreed to.
LOTTERIES.

Mr. VERNER inquired whether it was true that illegal
lottery tickets had been circulated amongst the clerks in
public departments.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
such tickets had come under his notice, but he did not be-
lieve that they were sent to clerks in the public depart-
ments exclusively.
Mr. VERNER then asked whether the tickets had been
circulated by the Irish constabulary.
Sir R. PEEL said he believed they had not been circu-
lated by the Irish constabulary, but they had been provided
by them.

SOUTH DURHAM.

A good deal of suprise was occasioned in the north
yesterday by the unexpected appearance of an ad-
dress from Mr. H. Pease announcing his intention
of retiring from the representation of South Durham
at the dissolution of Parliament. Mr. Pease does
not give any special reason for the step he proposes
to take. He speaks very highly of the flattering
manner in which he was called from private life, in
1857, to enter Parliament ; and trusts that during
nine sessions he has been honoured with the confi-
dence of the electors of South Durham their wishes
have not been abused. On Wednesday night a
meeting of some of the influential electors of the
county, called by circular, was held in the Central-
hall, Darlington—Lieut.-Col. Scurfield in the chair.
The resignation of Mr. H. Pease was greatly re-
gretted, and the chairman stated that the meeting
had been called to consider what steps should be
taken to secure a good man to succeed that gentle-

man. After a conversation it was proposed by Mr.
John Harris, of Woodside, and seconded by Mr. A.
K. Spark, that a requisition then read be presented
to Mr. Joseph Whitwell Pease, the nephew of Mr.
H. Pease, and son of Mr. Joseph Pease, who for-
merly represented the southern division of the
county, inviting him to offer himself for election at
the forthcoming election. This proposition wag
unanimously adopted, and it is generally expected
that that gentleman will. accept the invitation.
There is little doubt but that he and Capt. Beau-
mont will be returned.
London, England, 1865-06-09

Mr. KINNAIRD that there is a strong feeling in
favour of this on the part of many societies. In
one part of London, seven societies, numbering
nearly as many hundred members, are unanimous in
the expression of their wish ; while " three friendly
societies, with 726 members, 13 building societies,
comprising 5,000 members, various congregations,
upwards of 60 teachers of schools, and the tem-
perance societies at a public meeting at which 9,000
members were present, all unanimously petitioned
Parliament in favour of the movement." Wher-
ever it has been tried it has been successful, and as
the great object of all these exhibitions is to refine
and elevate the tastes of the people, it is manifest
that the opening of the picture galleries during the
leisure hours of the masses must be a great assist-
ance. The principal object, however, which the
house must keep in view at present is the rebuilding
and enlargement of the National Gallery on its
present site, and we hope that hon. members will
keep a close watch over Government, and take care
that so great a national work is well and wisely
done.
London, England, 1865-06-09

HULL.

Three candidates have offered themselves to this
constituency, but as yet none of them have addressed
the electors. In the Liberal interest the present
representative of the borough, Mr. James Clay, has
intimated his intention of standing or falling alone,
and there appears a pretty general feeling in the
town against inviting a second candidate, either
singly or in conjunction with them. There is, how-
ever, a small party who are of opinion that two
Liberals may be returned. A short time ago preli-
minary steps were taken for inviting Mr. C. M.
Norwood, merchant and shipowner of London and
Hull. A deputation waited on Mr. Norwood, and
he signified his intention to contest the borough,
but he has since withdrawn. In the Conservative
camp there is a " split," one party being strongly
in favour of the re-election of Mr. J. Somes, while
the other party state that they are determined to
carry the election of Mr. Hoare, who has already
issued an address to the electors. Both parties are
very influential, and it is hard to say which of the
candidates will have the best chance.
London, England, 1865-06-09

SUNDERLAND.

It baying been ascertained that Mr. Alderman
Hartley was in the field in the Conservative interest,
a meeting of the friends of Mr. Alderman Candlish,
Liberal, was held in the Bridge Hotel, Sunderland,
on Wednesday, and measures were adopted to com-
mence a canvass on the latter gentleman's behalf.

CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICERS.

Mr. LYALL asked the Secretary to the Treasury why
such an unequal system prevailed at the Customs for re-
munerating their out-door officers, so that in some ports
like Whitehaven, where both the cost of living was higher
and the business much greater than in many other ports,
yet the salary of the officers was on a more reduced scale?
Mr. P. PEEL said since 1856 the pay of the out-door
officers of customs had been regulated by the average rate
of wages they had received during the three years previous
to that date.

COLLECTION OF TAXES.
Mr. BAZLEY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was his intention to re-introduce the bill for
the collection of taxes; and, if so, include exceptional
clauses in the same, or the compensation clause as before.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was
quite aware of the inconvenience, but ho did not think that
during the present session it was possible to pass a measure.
Ile hoped on a future occasion to do so.
