REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.--Several can-
didates are spoken of as likely to come forward in
connection with the vacancy that will shortly be caused in
the representation of this borough, in consequence of the
determination of Mr. Angerstein to contest the election on
the Liberal interest for West Kent. A meeting of the
Liberal electors of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead,
has been privately convened to consider the present state
of the representation, and it is believed that a requisition
will be presented to Mr. John Penn, the present engineer,
requesting him to become a candidate.

THE REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGH.—Our city
Whigs are already busy in view of tho approaching general
election. Mr. Black is to retire, so goes tho rumour, and
Sir William Gibson-Craig is to bo asked to stand in his
place, with the Lord Advocate—so goes the fact. A re-
quisition is at pre sent being hawked about in favour of
Sir William, with what success time will tell.—Caledonian
Mercury.
THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA.—A letter from
Catania of the 25th of March contains the follow-
ing :—" We approached the craters as near as possible,
and while sketching had to dodge the falling stones. It
took us four hours' riding and about as many walking over-
snow more or less frozen. The streams which flowed east-
ward are at present stationary, and the lava in that direc-
tion is accumulating upon itself. There are several streams,
however, running north towards Linguaglossa, and these
are doing great damage to the pine woods. As yet the
cultivated region has escaped, but must be overrun before
long, if the eruption continues any length on its present
scale." Another letter says :—" The mountain is still
sending out lava, and threatens Linguaglossa. There are
three streams all running in that direction, one or more
devastating a fine pine forest belonging to the commune of
that place."
EARTHQUAKE AND DESTRUCTION OF A VILLAGE.
—lt is reported from Malta that shocks of earthquake have
been lately felt at Corfu. It is said that a mountain near
Arta has thrown out smoke and flame. It is also reported
that a village in the neighbourhood has been destroyed,
with two or three hundred of its inhabitants.

FREEHOLD BUILDING LAND.—The allotment of
the Sandown estate, Isle of Wight, of the Roe-
hampton Park property adjoining Richmond-hill, and the
Seven Sisters' Road estate, Tottenham, on the 6th inst., at
the offices of the Conservative Land Society, was of un-
usual interest, for the prize plot was the Isle of Wight pro-
perty, a villa with a piece of land having a frontage to the
sea, with the privilege to the purchaser of erecting a hotel
or eight houses thereon. There was considerable competi-
tion, but the right of choice, No. 27 on the register, sold at
a good premium, gained the coveted plot. The sale of land
' on the three estates was very largo.
THE ENGLISH PRISONERS IN A.BYSSINIA..--
A letter received from Abyssinia states that while Capt.
Cameron, Messrs. Stern Rosenthal, Kearns, Kelly, and
Makner are still detained as prisoners, they are allowed a
greater amount of liberty and have much better treatment
than they had some time ago. Messrs. Steiger and
Brandies, missionaries in connection with the Church of
Scotland, had been sent to Gaffat by order of the King, and
were commanded to remain there pending the solution of
the political qUestion between the native Government and
that of England. Messrs. Steiger and Brandies have been
allowed to carry on their Mktg= work in Qaffat, and five
