WHITBY.

On Monday a meeting was held in St. Hilda's Hall for
the purpose of organising an opposition to the re-election of
Mr. H. S. Thompson, the present member for that borough.
Mr. Samuel Flintoft moved, and Mr. William Wood se-
conded, that Mr. George Hudson be invited to contest the
seat. Mr. Robert Barry moved, and Mr. J. J. Rigg se-
conded, that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe be requested to
become a candidate at the next election. For Mr. Hudson
30 voted, and 11 for Mr. Duncombe. A requisition is there-
fore in course of signature to Mr. Hudson, for whom many
of the people of Whitby profess a high esteem. On the
other hand, it is hardly probable that the heads of the Tory
party will unanimously support that gentleman. A letter
was read from Mr. lavlson, in which he expressed a con-
viction almost amounting' to certainty that the result of
the present Chancery suit with the .Piorth-Eastern Railway
Company would be to leave in his pt;ssession the West Cliff
property.

WEST NORFOLK.

A very numerously attended and influential meeting of
the Conservative party was held at the Cora-hall, Swaffham,
on Monday, to determine whether the divisiyn should be
contested in the interests of that party, the present recresen-
tation being the result of a compromise, and the present
presentatives being Mr. G. W. P. Bentinck (Conservative),
and Mr. Brampton Gurdon (Whig). The meeting was
throughout most unanimous and enthusiastic. Mr. J. S.
Scott Chad was voted to the chair.

Mr. DRAKE, the Conservative agent, stated that the re-
gister was more satisfactory than he had known it for years,
and from a very careful examination ho felt justified in
saying that in a contest there would be a majority of 500
votes, making duo allowance for everything.
Mr. W. BAGGE (formerly member for West Norfolk) said
after that very flattering statement he had great pleasure in
proposing that this division of the county should be con-
tested. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. BUCKWORTH said that on the last occasion he was in
the chair, and his mouth was therefore shut, but he believed
then that they were strong enough to fight and win, and he
believed they were a great deal stronger now. He had
therefore great pleasure in seconding the proposition.
This resolut:on, being put to the meeting by the Chair-
man, was carried with acclamation, and the Chairman in-
vited some one to propose a second candidate.
Mr. BAGGE—As nobody seems ready to propose a candi-
date.—(Loud cries of " You are the man.") I am very much
obliged to you, but I have placed ray interest at the service
of my friend Mx. De Grey. I have been canvassing with him
the districts of Clackclose and Marshland Hundreds, and
my friends have been good enough to accept Mr. De Grey.
I have great pleasure in proposing as our second candidate
the lion. Thomas De Grey. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)
Mr. BECKWORTH had great pleasure in seconding the pro-
position. He thought it was a very good thing to put a
young man into harness, especially if, like Mr. De Grey,
ho bore promise of taking a leading place in the Legislature
of this country. (Cheers.)
Mr. A. FOUNTAINE thought Mr. De Groy a very proper
person, but he thought the interest of the older member
ought not to be forgotten; in fact, Mr. Bentinck's interest
ought to bo first.
Mr. BAGGE—I never canvassed but for the two: (Cheers.)
Mr. FouNTAINE said it being understood that Mr. Ben-
tinck's interests were to be paramount, ho should support
Mr. De Grey.
Mr. BENTINCK and Mr. DE GREY having severally assured
the electors that they should work together for each other,
and Mr. HAGGARD and Mr. J. D. HAY HILL having each
addressed the meeting to a similar effect, it was agreed
most unanimously, and with acclamation, that Mr. De Grey
should be the second candidate.

Mr. DE GREY returned thanks. He did not agree with
those who thought this was not quite the timo to contest the
division, but he felt their kindness all the more for accepting
him. He was quite sure that if all his friends worked as
hard as Mr. W. Bagge had done there was little doubt of the
result of the contest. (Cheers.) He hoped his hon. friend
Mr. Bentinck would not find him a very heavy weight.
Mr. BENTLNCK said the meeting having come to a una-
nimous resolution to put him forward again in conjunction
with his friend Mr. De Grey, he most cordially bowed to
that decision, and there should be nothing wanting on his
part that would conduce to tho return of both. He had
known Mr. De Grey from his childhood, and he was satis-

Red he should receive from him the same cordial friendly
support which it would be his first object to give him. In
the course of the canvass he had heard it said that "it
would be a good thing to get in a little fresh blood."
(Laughter and cheers.) That remark might be thought to
reflect a little on a person like himself, who had been con-
nected with this sort of thing for more than 40 years.
Nobody, however, concurred more with that remark than
himself. A man's powers and energies did not last for ever,
and for a man to represent a large constituency, and per-
form his duties faithfully, they were far from being light.
(Cheers.) Ho should be most happy to render M. De Grey
all the assistance he could. (Cheers.)
After some few remarks from Mr. A. T. AMHERST, a
vote of thanks was proposed to the chairman, which was
duly accorded, and the meeting broke up.

The Fatal Affray in the Commercial-road

, IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY (THIS DAY.)
The unfortunate man who was shot by Mr. Robert
Debenham, surgeon, on Monday night, in the yard behind
Heath House, Commercial-road, was identified this after-
noon. The unfortunate deceased is not a burglar. His
name is Thomas Solomon, a ship painter, of 11, Stepney-
causeway, and his wife and child are living at Bristol.
He was holiday-making and drinking with some friends,
at No. 11, Heath-street, adjoining Mr. Debenham's garden,
on Monday night. He was suddenly missed at 11 o'clock,
and owing to the description- given of him in the news-
papers last night and this morning, people repaired to the
workhouse in Bancroft-road at one o'clock this afternoon
and identified him. He is a man of good character and
inoffensive habits. On Monday night he was the worse
for liquor, climbed over a wall, reached. Mr. Debenham's
garden, and was shot.

MARKETS--•This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were very moderate, but nearly the whole of the
supply was received in good condition. Owing to the
favourable accounts at hand respecting the young crops,
millers showed no disposition to operate freely. However,
a fair clearance was effected, and all good and fine samples
changed hands at Monday's currency.

The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. The amount of business transacted was limited,
nevertheless previous quotations were steadily maintained.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request
at lato rates.

With barley the market was but moderately supplied, yet
the barley trade was slow, and in some instances prices
were rather easier.

Malt was in slow request at late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was moderate; on the whole,
the trade was steady, and good and fine samples supported
previous quotations.
Beans and peas changed hands at fully late rates. The
market was very moderately supplied.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted at late
prices.
