SALISBURY.

The three candidates for the representation of this
city—Mr. Marsh and Mr. Hamilton (Liberals), and
Mr. Chapman (Conservative), have now commenced
an active canvass of the electors, and public meet-
ings have been held, at which the two former ex-
pounded at length their political views. Mr. Chap-
man addressed the electors on Wednesday evening,
and expressed himself in favour of an extension, but
not a lowering of the franchise. He would support
the abolition of church rates if any plan can be
devised for effecting it without injury to the rights
of the Church. The following are Mr. Hamilton's
views on the topics of the day embodied in an address
just issued :-..

" I solicit the honour of your suffrages at tho approach-
ing election as a supporter of the principles which are pro-
fessed and acted upon by the Liberal party of this country,
and in the event of your placing me in the distinguished
position of representing you in the FlOll,OO Of cololl3on I

pledge Myself to be faithful to my trait, and-to evote my
time and attention to all matters of general and of local in-
terest. Tho simple question which is submitted to your
judgment on the present occasion is whether the policy
which has raised this country to a position of unprecedented
prosperity shall be maintained or reversed ; and I cannot
doubt that your answer will be the same as you sent back
at the last general election, when you returned two sup-
porters of Lord Palmerston's Government as the represen-
tatives of your sentiments. In the short space of an address
it is impossible for me to state my views on all questions of
public interest ; but I will briefly give my opinion on some
of the most important. The subject of Electoral Reform is
one upon which the Liberal party is at present much divided.
My own opinion is that the franchise must be eventually
extended, care being taken that both the rights of property
and the intelligence of the community are duly represented.
Tho question of church rates will have to be dealt with by
the new Parliament—in the present state of the law they
cannot be enforced, and it is impossible to ignore the
fact that they are regarded as a grievance by many millions
of our fellow-countrymen. As a Churchman I am unwilling
to pledge myself to unconditional abolition until another
effort has been made to effect a settlement by means of com-
promise. The expenditure of. the country will receive my
close attention. I believe that it may be greatly reduced
without detriment to the services of the State. Whenever
the state of the revenue admits of a further revision of tax-
ation my vote will be given in favour of a reduction, with
a view to the total abolition of the income-tax. The foreign
policy of the country has been identified with the name of
Lord Palmerston for nearly 30 years, and as a policy of non-
intervention and moral influence on the side of freedom it
will have my cordial support."

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 the part 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.

IRAN 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."

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

FALMOUTH, June 8.

The Diamond Company's steamer Kaffraria,
Captain Cummings, arrived here this evening from
the Cape with 53 passengers, a general cargo, and
a mail. She left Natal on April 27 ; Algoa Bay,
May 3 ; Table Bay, 6 ; and St. Helena, 15.
The war excitement along the frontier has
proved to have been the consequence of a false
alarm. The uneasiness at Grahamstown, however,
was so great that the members of Parliament in
that city urged the Governor to move to the frontier
at once, and to postpone the assembly of Parlia-
ment, which was summoned to meet at Capetown
on the 27th April. Sir P. E. Wodehouso replied
that all the information received of late went to
show that the frontier panic was unfounded, and
that the excitement caused by it was dying out.
The Government, he said, did not believe that the
Fingoes, if they were not molested, would rise
against them. For some weeks increasing efforts
had been made to agitate the public by rumours
and misrepresentations. The proper place for his
explanation was, he said, in Parliament, and he
declined to create more distrust and cause incon-
venience by postponing the meeting. The Gover-
nor's reply created another excitement in Grahams-
town, and an indignation meeting was held at which
resolutions deprecating the course followed by his

BRID C-WATER.

Rumours are rife in this town that Col. Tynte,
one of the present Liberal members, will not seek
re-election. Several names have been mentioned to
fiil the vacancy, but as yet nothing has been defi-
nitively resolved upon. An endeavour is being
made, it is currently rumoured, to bring about a
coalition between the Liberal and Conservative
parties, so as to insure the return of Mr. Kinglake,
one of the present Liberal members, and Mr. Wes-
tropp, the unsuccessful Conservative candidate at
the last election. Since the last election Mr.
Westropp has contributed largely to all matters
affecting the welfare of the town, and has thus ren-
dered himself somewhat popular.

IRISH COURT OF CHANCERY.

Mr. SCULLY inquired what information could be given
relative to arrears of untaxed bills of costs in the taxing
office of the Irish Court of Chancery.

Mr. PEEL said that no information had been received
by the Treasury on the matter, and no application had
been made by the Lord Chancellor.

Mr. WHITESIDE asked who had the appointment of
the taxing master.
Mr. PEEL said it rested with the Lord Chancellor.

CONVOCATION.

Mr. WHITESIDE inquired whether a licence had been
granted to Convocation to alter a canon of the Church.

Sir G. GREY said the Crown had not invited the con-
currence of Convocation. In the event of a licence being
granted to alter the 36th Canon in accordance with the bill
now before Parliament, it would imply no approval of what
Convocation had already done.

life. The incumbent of Hampstead has just addressed
a contemporary, asking why the recommendation of
the Commons' committee in 1858—that the Board
of Works should purchase Hampstead Heath as a
park for the use and recreation of the public—
should not have been earlier attended to ? The
value of the land is increasing year by year, as
London moves more and more out of town, and
suburban property grows more and more valuable
for building purposes, so that nothing can possibly
be gained by the delay. The suggestion is a very
good one, and we hope it will not be allowed to
drop. The encroachments being made on Epping
Forest also demand prompt attention, and the state-
ment of a recent visitor that large portions of the
forest are being rapidly enclosed, should not be
suffered to pass unnoticed. Almost every Lon-
doner is familiar with the beauties of
Epping, Loughton, High Beach, and Chig-
well. It is a happy chance that so charming
a retreat should be in such close vicinity to our
overthronged metropolis, and it is really too bad
that so great and innocent a source of pleasure
should be taken away from the people when it is
their undoubted right. We sincerely hope that the
matter will be taken up in the right quarter without
any delay ; and if there be any rights or claims
which interest with the people's privilege, let the
Government buy them out, but on no account let
us suffer ourselves to be deluded with the promise
of a few acres of parks and gardens in place of the
real fresh and untrammelled country. Let the
Heath and the Forest still deserve their titles, for
at no time was fresh air and change of scene more
needed by all classes, and it will be a lasting dis-
grace to us if we suffer ourselves and our successors
to be deprived of them.

Teaching by Machinery.

A very ingenious mechanical contrivance for
aiding the ordinary educational process in the
acquisition of languages, music, arithmetic, &c., was
exhibited on Wednesday at Messrs. W. and R
Chambers' London establishment in Paternoster-
row, in the presence of Mr. S. Morley and several
ladies and gentlemen interested in the work of edu-
cation. The patent Metabolical Machine is the name
which Mr. Alfred Long, the inventor, has given to
this very simple but apparently very efficient piece
of mechanism, and in the explanatory lecture with
which he introduced it to his audience he described
it thus :

PFMBROKE.

Sir llugh 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.

PLYMOUTH.

Mr. Stuart Lane, the new Conservative candidate
for this borough, was introduced last night to the
general body of Conservative electors at the Royal
Hotel. Admiral Basden presided. Mr. Lane was
well received. In his address he touched upon Con-
servatism versus Radicalism, Reform, church rates,
foreign policy, commercial treaties, the Irish Church,
nunneries, and the Permissive Bill, advocating
throughout the policy of Lord Derby's followers.
The meeting approved his political principles, and
pledged itself to support him.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
ROACH RIVER BILL.
Mr. C. FORSTER moved the second reading of this
bill.
Mr. HUNT opposed the bill. He 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 fou► 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 the 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. BRAMSTON said the bill had been well considered
in the House of Loi ds, 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

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. Owing to the fineness of the weather
and the favourable accounts respecting the crops, the trade
was very inactive both for red and white produce. In
prices very little change took place, but their tendency was
decidedly in favour of buyers.

With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied.
Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, but prices
ruled stationary.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
The market was very moderately supplied with barley,
yet the trade ruled quiet on former terms.
Malt was in slow request at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Good
and fine qualities were firm in price, otherwise the trade
was dull.
Beans and peas ruled firm, at full currencies.
There was a steady demand for flour, at late rates.

AMERICA.

NEW YORK, May 31 (Morning).

Jefferson Davis is expected to be conveyed to
Washington to-morrow to be immediately ar-
raigned.

The statement that he is manacled has neither
been officially nor semi-officially denied. -
Secretary Mallory and Mr. Howell Cobb have
been arrested.

During the conspiracy trial Louis Bates testified
that at his house in Charlotte, on April 19, Brecken-
ridge told Davis that he regretted Mr. Lincoln's
assassination, and that the event was unfortunate
for the Southern people. Davis is said to have re-
plied that if it were to be done at all it were
better that it were well done ; and if the
same were done to Johnson, the beast, and
also Stanton, the job would then be complete.
Other witnesses testified that Thomson, Clay, and
Halcomb were implicated in the shipment of in-
fected clothing. Numerous witnesses have been
examined with the view of impairing the evidence
for the prosecution.

A party of Mexican emigrants connected with the
barque Brontes have been arrested at San Francisco
charged with conspiring to seize the Peruvian
steamer Colon, and ,put her to sea as a Mexican
privateer. The plan contemplated the seizure of a
French transport.

The agent of Juarez who advanced money to the
leaders, finding the money likely to be misapplied,
informed against them. The leaders stated that
the seizure of the Colon was understood between
the Mexican and Peruvian authorities.

The World states that Admiral Goldsborough's
fleet, of thirty to sixty vessels, comprising the iron-
sides and two double turreted monitors, will leave
for the Mediterranean in the beginning of July
next. Admiral Gordon's. fleet has arrived at
Charleston, en route for the Brazilian waters.
The Belgian and City of Baltimore have arrived

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 proPoied 1:03"
John Harris, of Woodside, and seconded by Mr. B.
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.

SALISBURY.

The three candidates for the representation of this
city—Mr. Marsh and Mr. Hamilton (Liberals), and
Mr. Chapman (Conservative), have now commenced
an active canvass of the electors, and public meet-
ings have been held, at which the two former ex-
pounded at length their political views. Mr. Chap-
man addressed the electors on Wednesday evening,
and expressed himself in favour of an extension, but
not a lowering of the franchise. He would support
the abolition of church rates if any plan can be
devised for effecting it without injury to the rights
of the Church. The following are Mr. Hamilton's
views on the topics of the day embodied in an address
just issued :
" I solicit the honour of your suffrages at the approach-
ing election as a supporter of the principles which are pro-
fessed and acted upon by the Liberal party of this country,
and in the event of your placing pe in the distinguished
position of representing you in the House of Commove, I

pledge myself to be faithful to my trust, and to devote my
time and attention to all matters of general and of local in-
terest. The simple question which is submitted to your
judgment on the present occasion is whether the policy
which has raised this country to a position of unprecedented
prosperity shall be maintained or reversed ; and I cannot
doubt that your answer will be the same as you sent back
at the last general election, when you returned two sup-
porters of Lord Palmerston's Government as the represen-
tatives of your sentiments. In the short space of an address
it is impossible for me to state my views on all questions of
public interest ; but I will briefly give my opinion on some
of the most important. The subject of Electoral Reform is
one upon which the Liberal party is at present much divided.
My own opinion is that the franchise must be eventually
extended, care being taken that both the rights of property
and the intelligence of the community are duly represented.
The question of church rates will have to be dealt with by
the new Parliament—in the present state of the law they
cannot be enforced, and it is impossible to ignore the
fact that they are regarded as a grievance by many millions
of our fellow-countrymen. As a Churchman I am unwilling
to pledge myself to unconditional abolition until another
effort has been made to effect a settlement by means of com-
promise. The expenditure of the country will receive my
close attention. I believe that it may be greatly reduced
without detriment to the services of the State. Whenever
the state of the revenue admits of a further revision of tax-
ation my vote will be given in favour of a reduction, with
a view to the total abolition of the income-tax. The foreign
policy of the country has been identified with the name of
Lord Palmerston for nearly 30 years, and as a policy of non-
intervention and moral influence on the side of freedom it
will have my cordial support."
