LUDLOW.

The Liberal candidate for the borough has at length made
his appearance in the field in the person of Sir W. Yardley,
once Chief Justice of Bombay. In his address he refers to the
acts of the Liberal Government, which he commends, and
says the question before the people is whether this course
of legislation shall be pursued or checked and obstructed.

BOROUGH HOP.

The accounts from the plantations continue favourable
The supply both of English and foreign hops on salo is

117 Bremen, and 40 bales from Rotterdam.

TEWKESBURY.

There will be a contest here notwithstanding the state-
ment made in the papers last week that Mr. Martin, the
sitting member, would retire. Ho has just issued an address
soliciting re-election, in which he says, " It is with the ut-
most confidence that I ask you again to commit to my care
that trust with which you have honoured me before,"
&c. Mr. York, the other member. also asks re-election on
Conservative principles. The address of the new candidate,
Mr. Dowdeswell, of Pull-court, states that, " educated in a
political school," he is warmly atached to the principles
which are advocated by the Conservative party."

ESSEX (NORTH).

Sir Thomas Western's supporters are becoming
daily more sanguine as to his prospects of success at
the ensuing election. Sir Thomas has just issued
another address, in which he states :

" If you return me to Parliament I shall be the represen-
tative of the principle of constitutional progress—a neces-
sity of the age in which we live—of judicious economy, of
peace and honour, and with such a further extension of
the franchise as shall be in accordance with the just rights
of a free and enlightened people."

ROMAN CATHOLIC OATHS.

Lord RAVENSWORTH gave notice of-his intention
early next session to introduce a bill to amend the act
passed in the 10th George IV., to relieve her Majesty's
Roman Catholic subjects in regard to oaths, by amending
the existing form of oath imposed.

LORD BROUGHAM AND SLAVERY IN SOUTH

Lord BROUGHAM, in a speech of much energy, in
which there were some flashes of his former oratorical
powers, denied, in the most emphatic terms that he had
ever sympathised with the slaveholders in South America.

HERTFORD.

Sir Afinto Farquhar, the Conservative member
for this borough, addresses the electors. He offers
himself as a candidate, and says :

"You sent me to the House of Commons as a Conserva-
tive, and as a Conservative I come before you again, deter-
mined to be guided by those constitutional principles which
you entertain, and which, in my opinion, can alone secure
good government. To sudden and organic changes I shall
continue to give my steady opposition, while measures of
just and enlightened progress will have my cordial support."

FIFESIIIRE.

Sir Robert Anstruther, who was elected last year
in room of the late Mr. Wemyss, asks renewal of
the honour. On the question of Parliamentary
reform he still thinks that an extension of the
franchise—not in a liberal direction only—
" would at once tend to the establishment of our
constitution upon a broader and firmer basis, and be
a timely and well-deserved concession to the tempe-
rate demands of the intelligent men among the work-
ing classes who are still excluded from its exercise."
London, England, 1865-07-03

PEMBROKESHIRE.

Mr. Lort Phillips has issued an address, dated from the
Carlton Club, in which ho seeks a renewal of the support
given to him at the last election.

PRESTON.

The addressee of Sir T. G. Hesketh and the Hon. F.
Stanley, son of the Earl of Derby (the two Conservative
candidates), were issued on Saturday. The. Hon. F. Stan-
ley's address to "the free and independent electors" runs as
follows :

" I have, it is true, no past services in Parliament to
which I can refer, but my close connexion with the acknow-
ledged head of the great Conservative party will, I trust,
be a sufficient guarantee that I shall faithfully adhere to
their principles, which are, moreover, in entire accordance
with my own convictions. As an attached member of the
Established Church, I feel myself bound to uphold those
rights and privileges to which she is entitled as an essential
part of the constitution of the country ; but my vote will
always be given in favour of any measures which may
secure to those who dissent from her communion the ful-
lest and freest exorcise of their religious and civil rights.
I believe that the truest economy and the best security for
continued peace are to be found in the maintenance in a
state of perfect efficiency of our naval and military esta-
blishments : but the patriotism andpublic spirit which have
led to the formation of our present splendid Volunteer
army have largely increased the national means of defence
against foreign aggression, and rendered less necessary
such a numerical force as would unduly burden the re-
sources of the country."

LANCASHIRE (SOUTH).

It is tolerably certain that a contest is to take place for
the Southern Division of Lancashire. The three sitting
members—Messrs. Algernon Egerton, William J. Legh,
and Charles Turner—have issued addresses to their con-
stituents, offering themselves for re-election. They state
that they bolong to the Conservative and Constitutional
party, and point to their votes in the house as an evidence
of the sincerity of their professions.

BERKSHIRE.

The contest for this county promises to be un-
usually severe, there being no less than six can-
didates—three Liberals and the same number of
Conservatives. Mr. Walter and the Hon. P. P.
Bouverie (two of the sittingmembers), and Viscount
Uffington, son of the Earl of Craven, represent the
Liberal party ; and Mr. Benyon (another of the
sitting members), with Lieut.-Col. Loyd Lindsay,
V.C., and Major Sir Charles Russell, V.C., the
Conservatives.

CARMARTHENSHIRE.

Mr. D. Jones, of Pantglas, in soliciting the suf-
frages of the electors of Carmarthenshire for the fifth

any equitable measure for exempting Dissenters
from the payment of church rates, and will lend his
assistance to the removal of the anomalies of the
Reform Bill of 1832, by which many deserving amd
intelligent persons are excluded the exercise of the

Three candidates are now fairly in the field for this city,
and a fourth announced. Mr. Padmore (one of the sitting

commenced. Mr Padmore and Mr. Sherriff have a joint
committee, and the Liberals are most confident of success.

WALLINGFORR

On Friday afternoon Mr. Malins, Q.C., the present mem-
ber for this borough, addressed a large meeting in the Corn-
exchange. In his address he reviewed the proceedings of
the Parliament which is now expiring, and stated that he
was no party man, for he had on various occasions given up
party considerations when he thought the interests of the
country were the other way. The address of Mr. Malin
throughout was most moderate, declaring himself willing to

EDINBURGH.

An extremely keen canvass is going on for both
sets of candidates, and both sides are exulting in
hopes of success. The result is certainly doubtful,
and it is not unlikely that a candidate may be re-
turned from either side. A meeting of the Roman
,Catholic electors was held on Friday, when the com-
mittee recommended that they should vote for the
Lord Advocate and Mr. Black. A resolution was
moved hostile to Mr. Black. The meeting was
nearly equally divided in opinion, and it was dis-
puted which motion was carried. The nomination
will take place on Tuesday, the 11th.

At this market to-day the supply of wheat was fair, the

TAMWORTII.

The following address has been issued by Sir It. Peel:—
" The business of the Session will shortly be brought to a
close, when a proclamation dissolving Parliament will be
issued, and the constituencies of the country will be invited
to select their representatives in a new House of Commons.
Under these circumstances I beg respectfully to solicit at
your hands for the seventh time a renewal of the trust
which for many years you have done me the honour of
confiding to me. My political opinions are well known
to you ; and, as during several years I have held office
under the Crown in tho Government of the country, I have
paid much attention to public business, and venture to hope
that my past conduct in Parliament meets with your ap-
proval. Tho Parliament, now on the eve of dissolution, as
you are aware, was elected in 1859, since which compli-
cations have existed in Europe and in America, but the
course of events has fully justified the confidence of the
country in the wise and beneficial legislation of the Go-
vernment of Lord Palmerston, for while our national de-
fences have been placed in a thorough state of efficiency,
eleven millions of taxes have been remitted ; and yet, not-
withstanding these reductions in the burdens of the people,
there has been during the last three years a considerable
surplus of income over expenditure. Many important mea-
sures of domestic legislation have, since 1859, passed into
law, and while there has been no indisposition on the part
of the Government fairly and honourably to accept the re
sponsibility of every pledge given by it on taking office, it
has also manifested a laudable desire to act, in a spirit of
just and impartial legislation towards all classes and sec-
tions of the community, in a manner which cannot fail to
recommend its policy to the favourable consideration of the
country. The new Parliament will have to deal with ques-
tions of no less importance than in the past ; such as, for
instance, among other subjects, questions of railway legis-
lation, colonial policy, and the reform of the franchise, and
if during the next session the latter question of the lower-
ing of the franchise should come before the House of Com-
mons, I shall be prepared to give any well considered mea-
sure my best attention, reserving to myself, in accordance
with what I believe to be the view of the constituency I
have so long represented, and of the country generally,
the right of opposing any such extension as will disturb
the balance of the Constitution."

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.

The statement that Mr. Gladstone would be withdrawn
from the University of Oxford is, wo have authority for
stating, entirely without foundation. The result of the
election, it is true, cannot be predicted with any degree of
certainty in consequence of the large number of members of
Convocation who will not promise their votes; but Mr. Glad-
stone's friends at Oxford are very sanguine of success ; in-
deed, to use a sporting phraseology, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer is the favourite at slight odds. Mr. Gladstone
will, we understand, be again proposed to Convocation by
the Very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church, and tho President
of St. John's College (the Rev. Dr. Wynter), who proposed
the Marquis of Chandos in opposition to Mr. Gladstone in
1859, will, we hear, bring forward Mr. Gathorne Hardy. The
election, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of
1861, is limited to five days, and members of Convocation
can either vote by " papers" or in person. There 'will be
two more degree days this Term, and it is expected further
additions will be made to the register of Convocation by the
admission of new masters.

RICHMOND.

Sir Pkoundell Palmer issued the following address to his
constituents on Saturday :

" The dissolution of the present Parliament is at hand,
and it is for you to determine whether ycu will again con-
fide to me the trust with which I have been honoured for
the last four years. The Government wth which lam
connected has succeeded, during times of no ordinary diffi-
culty, in maintaining peace abroad, and lacier their admi-
nistration the prosperity of the nation las increased at
home. By a financial policy at once prudent and liberal
the means have been found of maintaining the public ser-
vice in a high state of efficiency, and at the same time of
reducing the public expenditure and dimirishing the bur-
dens of the people. The progress of legal and social re-
forms has been constant and uninteiruptel. I trust that
the part, however humble, which I as your representativb
have been permitted to bear in these measures, may have
met with your approbation. My greatest ambition, if
again honoured with your confidence, will be to be enabled
still to serve my country in the same course of usefulness,
whether in or out of power. lam at present detained in
London by my public duties, but when the dissolution
takes place, I hope without delay to come among you and
personally to solicit the renewal of your suffrages."
Mr. Wyvill, jun., who represents Riehmend in conjunc-
tion w;th the Attorney-General, will resign on the dissolu-
tion of Parliament, and the lion. J. C. Dundas, who has
become a candidate, will no doubt fill his place.

HERTFORDSHIRE.

On Saturday Sir E. B. Lytton, Mr. A. Smith,
and Mr. Surtees, the three Conservative candidates
for the representation of this county, met some of
their constituents at the Corn Exchange, Market-
cross, St. Alban's. The hon. gentlemen have met
the electors during the week at various parts of the
county, and at Hemel Hempstead Sir A. Cooper
proposed a resolution pledging the electors to sup-
port the three gentlemen, and this was carried,
though not unanimously. Sir E. B. Lytton, in ad-
dressing the electors, said that in a few days the
old Parliament would be gathered to its fore-
fathers, and the representatives of Hertfordshire
had come, to use a Parliamentary term, to " report
progress and ask leave to sit again." He was
not quite recovered from his recent illness,
and this prevented him from addressing them at
any great length, but there was little neces-
sity for his doing so, as he had an advantage over
Mr. Cowper, the candidate in the Liberal interest,
inasmuch as he had served the constituency for 13
years, and could point to the record of bis opinions,
to be found in the votes and debates of Parliament.
Yet Mr. Cowper, who had not that reference to give,
was as vague upon all special public questions as if
he were setting an example of caution to the Minister
for Foreign Affairs. (A laugh.) At the last election
Mr. Cowper was explicit enough about the malt-tax
and church-rate questions, but he now avoided any
reference to those delicate topics, and his address
somewhat resembled the red daub which an ingenious
artist painted as a representation. of the Israelites
crossing the Red Sea, a subject cliOsen by an inn-
keeper for his sign. The artist explained that Pha-
raoh and his host had gone to the bottom, and that
the Israelites had crossed over ; and Mr. Cowper's
daub, not red but orange, was a vague splash, with
church-rates and Dissenters drowned in the midst,
and farmers and the malt-tax safe on the other side.
(Laughter and cheers.) A Ministerial candidate
could not claim for the Government the merit of

such measures as may be demanded by an advance-
ment of civilisation, in extending commerce and the

Mr. Baines's Bill, but adds, "In the true spirit of
Conservatism, I am prepared to give a zealous sup-
port to any well-digested plan fairly to extend the

from the Italian Government would amount to -
£129,600 per annum. The subvention of £480,000
originally granted by the Government and the com-
munes was to be confined to one-third (1160,000)
in cash, of which the greater portion had been re-
ceived, and in lieu of the remainder £320,000 obli-
gations were to be issued, which, with respect to
interest and sinking-fund, would be provided for by
the guarantee to be received from the Italian Govern-
ment ; and the rest of the capital required for the
construction of the railway would be provided for
in the same manner by the issue of other obligations
on the same footing and security, to an extent
sufficient to fulfil the contracts and complete the
undertaking.

Pv`:'re.4

The CHAIRMAN explained that the original agree-
ment for a subsidy would have been better for the
company than the guarantee recently granted ; but
the directors were driven to accept the present ar-
rangement in consequence of shareholders not paying
their calls.
Some conversation ensued, in the course of which
it was stated that if holders of shares would only
have faith in the undertaking and pay up the calls
till it was completed, they would have reason to be
satisfied with their investment.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

In this county three members have to be elected.
Two of the sitting members—Lord W. Graham
(Conservative) and Mr. Mildmay (Liberal)—retire,
and Sir J. R. Bailey (Conservative) and Mr. Bid-
dulph (Liberal) offer themselves in their stead, Mr.
King King soliciting re-election. Mr. Biddulph's
address has been out some time, and has just been
followed by those of Sir J. R. Bailey and Mr. King
King. The former in his address says :
"My opinions are Conservative. lam willing to consi-
der any proposition which may be brought forward for
ameliorations in our Constitution which would not endanger
the stability of that excellent form of Government under
which we have the happiness to live.

HERTFORD.

Sir Minto Farquhar, the Conservative member
for this borough, addresses the electors. He offers
himself as a candidate, and says :

" You sent me to the House of Commons as a Conserva-
tive, and as a Conservative I come before you again, deter-
mined to be guided by those constitutional principles which
you entertain, and which, in my opinion, can alone secure
good government. To sudden and organic changes I shall
continue to give my steady opposition, while measures of
just and enlightened progress will have my cordial support."
London, England, 1865-07-03

STROUD.

It is now tolerably certain that there will bo a third can-
didate in the person of the llon. Ashley Fonsonby, who
retires with this Parliament from the representation of
Cirencester. Mr. Ponsonby's name has been before the
constituency for the past week or two, but there has been
uncertainty as to whether he meant to come forward or
not ; ho is now, however, advertised to address a meeting
of the electors on Tuesday evening. Mr Horsman is an-
nounced to address meetings on Thursday and Friday next.

* SURREY (W Es T).
Mr. G. Cubitt, of Denbies, Dorking, and Mr. J. I.
Briscoe, of Fox-hills, the present sitting members for the
western division of this county, have issued their addresses
to the electors, .asking a renewal of their confidence.

SWIMMING.

This morning, between the comparatively early hours
of seven and eight, the Serpentine in Hyde-park was the
scene of the most interesting, exciting, and well contested
swimming match ever known, between Mr Gurr, the
champion two mile swimmer, and Mr. Coulter, the cap-
tain of the Serpentine Swimming Club; the distance
being 1000 yards, and the stakes £25 a-side. Long
before six o'clock spectators of varied degree
assembled around the Serpentine; by half-past seven
the number had reached from 8,000 to 10,000. It may be
remarked that a considerable number were ladies. Nor
were the spectators confined to pedestrians, for a host of
carriages, of various kinds, lined the sides of the water.
Tho greatest amount of interest was manifested. The
betting was 10 to 4on Gurr. A beautiful start was effected
at 20 minutes to eight o'clock, both reaching the
water at the same moment, and from the begin-
ning to the end a most exciting struggle was kept
up. Starting from the bridge near Albert-gate, they
swam neck to neck to half the distance (first boat house),
which they did in eight minutes. Coulter here took a
slight lead of say a foot, but only for a short distance, Gurr
reaching him, and they swam neck to neck again till
within 100 yards of the bridge, when Gurr shot forward
and headed his opponent some two yards. Coulter, how-
ever, caught him, and neck to neck for the third time
they struggled until a few yards from home, when Gurr
managed to head his worthy competitor, and became the
winner by about a yard and a half only.
The whole distance was done in exactly 17 minutes. Mr.
Reed acted as referee.

It is only fair to say that while Gurr has been in training
doing his four miles a day, Coulter has been prevented by
his daily duties from training even slightly.

WEST FLANDERS.

The report of the directors states that they have
summoned the shareholders to consider certain de-
tails of the convention recently handed over to the
" Societe d'Exploitation de Chemins de Fer." Under
this convention the West Flanders Railway Com-
pany have to provide for the construe...oNa a 01° lin4

from Routers to Ypres, and from Poperinghe to
Hazebrouck, and also for the works to be completed
on the old lines, by issuing bonds of a nominal capi-
tal of 500 f. (£2O), and bearing an annual interest
of 15f. (125.), payable half-yearly. The bonds are
to be repayable during the whole of the concession
of the lines to be constructed by means of a progres-
sive redemption, to take place by yearly drawings.
The number of bonds required has been fixed at
30,000, and the directors have to submit an agree-
ment which, subject to the approbation of the share-
holders, they have entered into with the Societe
d'Exploitation de Chemins de Fer, for that com-
pany to undertake the whole construction of the
lines for that number of bonds, thereby relieving
this company from any responsibility or from any
further claim upon them, even in case the produce
of the bonds should be exceeded.

period of 1864. The proportion of the South Junc-
tion receipts accruing to this company from Jan. 1
to June 18 amounted to £17,081, as against £17,027

penses to £8,389, as against £7,579.

BIRMINGHAM.

Messrs. Scholefield and Bright have issued their
addresses offering themselves for re-election• Mr.
Bright says :-
4, In a few days the Parliament will be dissolved, and
you will be required to select representatives for a future
House of Commons. I fear the career of the house which is
now about to separate is one which has given you much
disappointment. The election of 1859 was caused by the
question of suffrage-extension, and was intended to pro-
mote an advance, if not a settlement of that question. Tho
house which was returned at that election has been dis-
loyal to its pledges, and has neglected its first duty. The
Administration which in 1859 climbed into office under
the pretence of its devotion to the question of Parliamen-
tary Reform has violated its solemn pledges. Its chiefs
have purposely betrayed the cause they under-
took to defend, and the less eminent members
of it have tamely acquiesced in that betrayal.
The Ministry have for six years held office, which but
for promises they made, and which they have broken,
they could not have obtained possession of even for a day.
No Parliament fairly elected by the nation would have so
treated its constituents, and no Administration so treacher-
ous to its professed principles would have escaped instant
punishment from a Parliament honestly representing the
people. If I felt myself in any degree responsible for the
conduct of the Parliament and the Administration on this
question of Reform, I could not without confusion of face
render you an account of my stewardship, and I could not
hope you would again select me as one of your representa-
tives. But I am free from the guilt of your betrayal. I
have denounced and resisted it to the utmost of my power.
The Parliament is about to expire, the Ministry will soon
undergo changes, or will totter en to its fall ; but the
question of Reform still lives, and at this moment, in the
eyes of its opponents, takes a more distinct shape than at
any other period since the passing of the bill in 1832. I
trust the result of the coming general election will show
that, notwithstanding the treachery of official statesmen
and the indifference of the expiring Parliament, the cause
of freedom, based on a true representation of the nation, is
advancing with an irresistible force to its final triumph.
If the electors of Birmingham, so honoured by past ser-
vices in this cause, deem me worthy to speak for them and
for it in the coming Parliament, I shall accept the trust
with gratitude for the confidence they show me, and with
an earnest desire to act worthily in their behalf and in
their name.

LEICESTER-SATURDAY.

The market to-day was tolerably supplied with wheat,
which made 18 to 2s per qr. more money. Barley was a
scanty supply, and sold at quite last week's currencies.
The supply of oats was small, and prices were in favour of
the seller. Beans dull ; supply small.
Old white wheat, 42s to 46s ; old red, 38s to 43s ; now
white, 43s to 48s ; new red, 38s to 42s per 36 stone. Bar-
ley, malting, 32s to 34s per qr. ; grinding, 28s to 30s per 30

Beans, old, 40s to 44s ; new, 36s to 41s per 38 stone.

rADVERTISEMENT.:I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
All ulcers require for their cure a free supply of pure blood
and power in the local nerves and vessels to bind up the
desired now flesh. That Holloway's remedies can effect
both these objects is now an unquestioned fact, which has
been proved beyond all doubt in both hemispheres by the
afflicted of both sexes. When a sore appears on any other
part of the body, excepting the leg, it is always constitu-
tional, and will need the united influence of ointment and
pills to heal it up; when the ulceration is on the leg it may
be merely a local ailment, which the ointment unaided,
well and diligently. applied, is competent to cure.

WIGTOWN BURGHS.

Mr. Young, Solicitor-General for Scotland, has
issued his address soliciting re-election. There will
be no opposition.

WIGT OWNS HIRE.

Sir Andrew Agnew has asued his address. He
declares himself a sincere admirer of our Protestant
constitution, and an adherent of the great historical
party to whom our ancestors owed the free enjoy-
ment of religious privileges, dearer to them than life
itself. That party, ever the champions of progress
and reform, now acknowledge as their leader Lord
Palmerston, a veteran statesman, of whom the coun-
try is justly proud ; whiletheirranks are strengthened
by the accession of the most accomplished disciples
of the late Sir Robert Peel. Sir Andrew also de-
clares himself opposed, as hitherto, to the Sunday
League, the grant to Maynooth, and all endowments
to the Roman Catholic priesthood.
The contest between the sitting member, Sir
Andrew Agnew, and Viscount Garlies, will be very
keen and close.

YORKSHIRE (SOUTH-WEST).
The Liberal candidates for this division have is-
sued their addresses, and committees have been
formed at Sheffield, Doncaster, Huddersfield, and
other towns, to secure their election. Viscount
Milton (eldest son of the Lord-Lieutenant of the
West Riding) says :
"Should you confer on me the distinction which I seek
from you, I shall deem it my duty steadily to support a
Liberal policy at home and abroad, and to give my inde-
pendent aid in maintaining an administration which, like
the'present one, has, in my judgment, done much to de-
serve the confidence of the country."
Lord Milton points to the vastincrease of our trade,
the expansion of the revenue in spite of large and
continued reduction of taxation, and the spirit of
contentment among all classes, as the legitimate fruits
of the wise commercial system pursued by recent
Parliaments, and the same course should be steadily

DERBYSHIRE (SOUTH).

There will be a fierce fight in South Derbyshire,
the candidates being the two retiring members, Alr.
Evans (Liberal) and Mr. Mundy (Conservative),
and Mr. Colvile (Liberal.) Mr. Colvile addressed
the electors in the Lecture-hall, Derby, on Friday
evening last, when the room was crowded to excess.
Ile declared himself in favour of the extension of
the franchise in the counties and boroughs, and was
for the abolition of church rates.
