DURHAM (COUNTY).

The contests in the northern and southern divi-
sions of this county are being conducted with great
determination and energy. Mr. pease and Capt.
Beaumont (Liberal), and Capt. Surtees (Conserva-
tive), in the southern, and Mr. Shafto and Sir H
Williamson (Liberal), and Mr. Barrington (Con-
servative), in the northern division, are addressing
meetings of electors in various parts of the county
daily. All the parties have large and influential
'committees, there are committee rooms in the prin-
cipal towns and large villages, and the excitement
is very considerable. The Liberals are very hopeful
with regard to the result of the contest.

Alarming Fire in the Strand.

This morning shortly before 4 o'clock a terrific fire broke
out in the back of the pi emises occupied by Messrs.
Soathby, Wilkinson, and Bodge, auctioneers of literary
property and works of art, and of Mr. Way, lithographer,
13, Wellington-street, Strand; the large room of the pre-
mises being familiar to the public from the many celebrated
book auctions which have taken place therein. The fire
previous to its discovery had got firm hold of the premises
and shop, burst forth with the greatest fury, and notwith-
standing the utmost exertions of the firemen it continued
to rage with uncontrollable violence for upwards of
three hours. The back premises being stored with
packing cases and other receptaclesfor the safe conveyance
of property to a distance, caused the flames to rise to a
great height, and, as they burst from the windows, they did
some injury to the back premises of the Globe news-
paper, but fortunately not of that nature to cause the
slightest inconvenience to the working arrangements of our
contemporary. Before the fire could be subdued the back
premises of Messrs. Soathby were entirely destroyed. Un-
fortunately a very valuable collection of Biblical works
have perished in the fire, the value of whtch is beyond esti-
mation. The books were, we believe, on the premises for
sale by auction, which proceeding was expected to occupy
fully eleven days. Two days out of the sale had proceeded,
and the property, it is said, had realised over .4000.

NEWCAS TLE-ON-TYNE.-TUESDAY.

At our market to-day there was a small show of wheat
from the country, but a good arrival from the coast, with a
large quantity from abroad. Sellers sought an advance of
is per qr., which buyers refused to pay, and a limited busi-
ness done in consequence. Barley at late rates. Malt
dull. Beans unchanged, but peas is to 2s higher. Oa,tit
brought more money. 'Flour 6d per sack dearer.

might look to a fresh attack on the privileges of
the city. Believing the citizens of London would
resent as it deserved the attempt that 11r.d been
made to dictate to them the candidates whom they
should support, he (Mr. Fowler) left his case in
their hands, urging them at the sane time to rally
round the institutions they had received from their
ancestors, and so hand them down unimpaired to
posterity.
The candidates, especially Mr. Fowler, spoke at
times amid extraordinary uproar, caused by the
clamour of the opposing factions, and when he re-
sumed his seat and a man from the body of the hall
mounted the platform to interrogate him the meet-
ing broke into open riot. The man who had pre-
sumed to question the candidates was shouted down
and obliged to make a hasty retreat. Mr. Thomas
Baring endeavoured in vain to secure him a hear-
ing ; the " roughs," as they were called, jumped
upon the tables and forms and put themselves in
menacing attitudes ; the chairman was powerless to
restore order, and amid a scene of indescribable con-
fusion the candidates, with their friends, left the
building by a back door.

FINSBURY.

Last evening the first public meeting called on be-
half of Mr. Alderman Lusk, who is one of the five
candidates for the representation of this borough,
was held in the Spa Chapel School-rooms, Clerken-
well. Mr. E. J. Thompson, churchwarden of the
parish, presided, and there was a very full attendance.
AldermanLusK, in the course of his address, stated
that he would not merely advocate an extension and
enlargement of the franchise to the extent of £lO in
counties and £6 in boroughs, but he would altoge-
ther abolish the unnecessary distinction between the
occupier of the whole and the occupier of the part of
a house. All, he thought, who contributed to the
income-tax should have the vote, and with the vote
he would give the ballot. He was also in favour of
triennial Parliaments and the re-distribution of elec-
toral districts. With respect to the question of
Church-rates, he thought it would be for the good of
the Church if these rates were entirely abolished, and
he was a determined supporter of free trade, for with
a practical knowledge of commerce he had arrived at
the conclusion that free trade would be a means of pro-
moting civilisation. He wasin favour of superintend-
ing the area of Poor Law rating, and he would support
any measure which equalised taxation for the poor.
In answer to many questions which were put to
him the Alderman said he hoped Roman Catholics
would be desirous of having the nunneries inspected,
as they were in Roman Catholic countries, and he
was opposed to the opening of museums on Sunday.
With respect to the Permissive Bill, he was not pre-
pared to say he would vote for it, but, at the same
time, he would not say he would vote against it.
Mr. Wm cox moved a resolution pledging the
meeting to support the candidature of the Alder-
man. In the course of his remarks the speaker
said he looked upon the Alderman coming for-
ward as a candidate for the borough as a great
compliment to Finsbury—an expression of opinion
which caused a great uproar.
Mr. BLACKIE seconded the resolution, which was
carried with a few dissentients, and the proceedings
concluded.

HONIT ON.

Mr. G. Moffatt has announced that he will not
ask the electors to renew the trust they five years
since confided to him. The contest will be between
Mr. Baillie Cochrane and Mr. Richards. It is ex-
pected to be very close. Mr. Cochrane, in his ad-
dress, makes no profession of political opinion. Mr.
Richards, the new candidate, declares himself an
advocate of extension of the suffrage, the ballot, and
the abolition of church rates. Mr. F. D. Goldsmid
states generally that he approves the principles of free
trade, and will support the diffusion of education
and the improvement of the homes of the people.

NOTTINGHAM.

The town was tolerably quiet on Tuesday night.
There were a great many people in the market-
place, but nothing of a riotous nature took place. A
portion of the military occupy the Exchange-rooms,
in front of the market-place, in view of the people,
who, however, take it very good-humouredly. The
magistrates have forbidden any more public meet-
ings in the market-place. Mr. Martin (the Conser-
vative candidate) addressed the electors on Tuesday
night from the windows of the Clinton-house,
Shakespeare-street. Messrs. Paget and Morley's
central committee has issued an address, bearing
the signature of both those gentlemen, attributing
the riot to their opponents.

LISBON, JUNE 28.
The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship
La Plata has arrived here from Brazil, and will
leave for Southampton at 5 p.m. this day with 87
passengers, specie £39,226, 280 barrels of tapioca,
50 bags of coffee, 50 packages of ipecacuanha, 350
rolls of tobacco, and 127 packages of sundries.
The La Plata left St. Vincent (Cape Verd) on
the 20th inst., and on the night of that day passed
Oneida with the outward mails of the 9th June.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 29.
The North German Lloyd's steamer New York
from New York on the 17th inst., has arrived.

She brings 423 passengers for this port, Havre,

for France.

On the 25th she spoke the English steamer
Edinburgh, and on the 26th the English brig

SPAIN.
SPANISH ELECTORAL REFORM.
MADRID, JUNE 25.

The Bill upon electoral reform introduced by the
new Ministry re-establishes the system of elections
by provinces, as settled by the law of 28th July,
1837. It also introduces a combination of precau-
tions, requisitions, and guarantees to render any
tampering with the lists or votes impossible. The
rural districts and small towns will have their own
electoral autonomy, and may nominate one or more
deputies, separately and independently from the
rest of the province. The electoral qualification is
reduced to the payment of 200 reals in taxes an-
nually, this being half the amount fixed by
the Constitution of 1837 and half that required
by the present law. The sections and districts
are placed under fixed regulations, independent
of the will of the Government.

The proportion of deputies to the population of
the country is re-arranged, to harmonise with the
extension of the suffrage. One deputy will now re-
present every 45,000 inhabitants, instead of there
being, as formerly, one for every 35,000, which,
under the new law, would produce too numerous a
Congress.
Espana confirms the
Theof Canorirmeypoorntdaen
news of guano just made
by Dr. Juan de Dios Almanza. In one of his fre-
quent voyages this gentleman discovered a consider-
able deposit of guano upon the island of Alboran,
between Cape Trois Fourches and GuardiasViegas,
on the coast of Almeira. Dr. Almanza has addressed
to the Ministers of Finance and Public Works a
description of his discovery, accompanied by a plan
of the island and proofs of the existence of guano.

DUMBARTONSHIRE.

The contest between Mr. James Stirling, of Cor-
dale, who comes forward in the Liberal interest in
opposition to the present Conservative member for
the county of Dumbarton, Mr. P. B. Smollett, is
now being vigorously prosecuted, and on Tuesday
evening Mr. Stirling addressed a meeting of eke-
tors at Kirkintilloch, one of the county towns, being
the second public assembly at -which he has ap-
peared. The meeting was numerously attended, and
from the cordial manner in which the hon. candidate
was received, and in the unanimity with which a
resolution in his favour was carried, there appeared
to be a general desire in that district of the county
to give him every support.

BRADFORD.

Yesterday Messrs. -Wickham and Forster, the
Liberals members for Bradford, issued their ad-
dresses to the electors of this borough. Mr. Wick-
ham, in his address, reminds the constituency that
he has held the important trust for 13 years, states
that the constituency has had full opportunity of
judging of his conduct in Parliament and how far
he has represented their interests ; says he will be
shortly among them to give any explanation, and
adds, that if again replaced in the distinguished
position of representing his native borough the
electors may rest assured that no exertion on his
part shall be wanting fully to carry out the policy
of the last 30 years, and to promote in every way
the welfare and happiness of this great community.
The address of Mr. Forster is equally laconic.

SALISETJRY.-TUESDAY.

At to-day's market there was by no means a large at-
tendance, and the supply of wheat offered was small, even
for the time of year. The enhanced prices obtained at
Mark-lane yesterday, coupled with the reduced stocks on
hand in this neighbourhood, enabled holders to ask as much
as 2s per qr. more money than was obtained for wheat a
week ago, and at this adTanco a fair trade was done. In
barley little doing.
Tho following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
36s to 41s ; barley, 26s to 30s ; oats, 21s to 30s ; beans, 40s

electors on Conservative principles, and as a firm
supporter of Church and State. He avows himself
opposed to any further lowering of the franchise,

Wo are happy to say that the British Government are
greatly reassured as to the friendly feelings and amicable
intentions of the American Administration. The outpour-
ings of a virulent press, and the private correspondence of
men whose extreme views overbalanced their judgment,
gave an exaggerated colouring to some of the earlier com-
munications of President Johnson's Cabinet, but we hope
and believe that there is a deep-set determination not to
Permit any temporary differences of opinion to cause any
real estrangement between the two countries. Meanwhile
the internal difficulties of the Federal Government are, we
regret to state, rather on the increase. Martial law still
prevails at Washington, whore cavalry patrol the main
thoroughfares with drawn swords, and nobody can walk the
streets without seeing numerous arrests.

By the last advices from Madrid we learn that the recog-
nition of the kingdom of Italy by the Queen of Spain is
not likely to take place as soon as had been anticipated.
From positive certainty, which characterised the prema-
ture announcement of this event, it has faded away into
the land of promise.
The Duke and Duchess do 3lontpensier, who, with their
family, are about to arrive in England, have taken Marble
Hill, T wickenham, the residence of General and Lady
Alice Peel, for a term of four months. The immediate
object of their royal highnesses is to be in this country at
the period of the accouchement of the Comtesse de Paris.
We have to announce that a marriage is arranged be-
tween the Hon. Georgina Colville, sister of Lord Colville,
and Mr. Joseph Ridgway, of Fairlawn, near Sevenoaks.
The day now named for the production of " L'Africaine"
at the Royal Italian Opera is the 20th of July.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WORMWOOD ►SCRUBS
REVIEW.—On Saturday, while the household troops were
being reviewed at Wormwood Scrubs, two boys got in the
way of a large body of cavalry in full charge, and before
they could get off the ground or the troopers could pull up
they were knocked down and ridden over. One of them
died shortly afterwards, and the other is in a procarious
condition. Special attention was paid to the yc,uths by
order of his Royal Highness the Prince of Waleg.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE (NORTH).

We learn that Lord Edward Clinton is prepared
to offer himself as a candidate for the vacancy
created in the representation of the Northern divi-
sion of the county of Nottingham, by the retire-
ment of his uncle, Lord Robert Clinton ; that Lord
Edward will walk in the steps of his father and his
uncle in the maintenance of a Liberal course of
policy, and that he will devote himself to the ser-
vice of the country, and postpone, if need be, his
military to his Parliamentary duties. On these
grounds, as soon as he reaches England (which lie
will probably do in a very short time), he will per-
sonally solicit the support of the voters in the nor-
thern division.

National Portrait Exhibition.

- - -

The Lords of the Committee of Council on Edu-
cation have received a letter from the Earl of Derby
suggesting the formation of a National Portrait
Exhibition, from which letter the following extracts
are made :

" I have long thought a National Portrait Exhibition,
chronologically arranged, might not only possess greathis-
torical interest by bringing together portraits of all the
most eminent contemporaries of their respective eras, but
might also serve to illustrate the progress and condition
at various periods of British art. My idea, therefore,
would be to admit either portraits of eminent men, though
by inferior or unknown artists, or portraits by eminent
artists, though of obscure or unknown individuals. I have
of course no means of knowing or estimating the number of
such portraits which may exist in the country, but I am
persuaded that, exclusive of the large collections in maul
great houses, there aro very many scattered about by OJOS
and twos and throes in private families, the owners of whielif
though they could not be persuaded to part with then',
would willingly spare them for a few months for a public
object."
" The question of one, two, or three exhibitions in con-
secutive years, would, I apprehend, be mainly decided by
the result of future inquiries as to the probable number
of pictures which could be obtained, and the space which
could be found for their exhibition. But whether the
period over which each exhibition (if more than one) should
range, be longer or shorter, the point on which I should se ti
the greatest value, in an historical, if not in an artistic
point of view, would be the strict maintenance of the chro-
nological series. I shall be very happy if any suggestion
of mine should lead the Committee of Council to take up
seriously, and carry out, with such alterations of detail as
experience might suggest, a scheme which I think could
hardly fail of being generally interesting; and I should
have much pleasure in placing temporarily at their disposal
any portraits from my collection at Knowsley which they
might think suitable for their purpose."
Their lordships state that they consider these suggestions
very valuable, and will carry into effect, in the year 1866,
a National Portrait Exhibition generally in accordance with
them. They propose to constitute a committee of advice,
and to invite tho trustees of the National Portrait Gallen'
to be members of it.

Mr. Samuel Redgrave, to whose valuablelabours the suc-
cessful formation of the collection of portrait miniatures IS
chiefly duo, is to be requested to undertake the special
charge of carrying this minute into effect.

NOTTINGHAM.

The town was tolerably quiet on Tuesday.night.
There were a great many people in the market-
place, but nothing of a riotous nature took place. A
portion of the military occupy the Exchange-rooms,
in front of the market-place, in view of the people,
who, however, take it very good-humouredly. The
magistrates have forbidden any more public meet-
ings in the market-place. Mr. Martin (the Conser-
vative candidate) addressed the electors on Tuesday
night from the windows of the Clinton-house,
Shakespeare-street. Messrs. Paget and Morley's
central committee has issued an address, bearing
the signature of both those gentlemen, attributing
the riot to their opponents.

HUDDERSFIELD.

An announcement made a few days ago that a
Conservative candidate would be brought forward
for this borough was scarcely believed, but on Tues-
day an address was published by Mr. W. Melville
Lomas, of Horbury-hall, who asks the votes of the
electors on Conservative principles, and as a firm
supporter of Church and State. He avows himself
opposed to any further lowering of the franchise,
whether in borough or county, because the present
scale is, in his opinion, already within the reach
of the provident.

BRISTOL.

The contest in this city promises to be both close
and exciting. Both parties are now actively en-
gaged in canvassing, and on Tuesday evening Sir
Morton Peto addressed a crowded meeting of elec-
tors at the Broadmead Rooms, dilating at length
upon the three questions of peace, retrenchment and
reform. The Hon. F. U. F. Berkeley was prevented
being present by illness.

Alarming Fire in the Strand.

This morning shortly before 4 o'clock a terrific fire broke
out in the back of the pi emises occupied by Messrs.
Sotheby Wilkinson, and lodge, auctioneers of literary
property and works of art, and of Mr. Way, lithographer,
13, Wellington-street, Strand; the large room of the pre-
mises being familiar to the public from the many celebrated
book auctions which have taken place therein. The fire
previous to its discovery had got firm hold of the premises
and shop, burst forth with the greatest fury, and notwith-
standing the utmost exertions of the firemen it continued.
to rage with uncontrollable violence for upwards of
three hours. The back premises being stored with
packing cases and other receptacles for the safe conveyance
of property to a distance, caused the flames to rise to a
great height, and, as they burst from dim windows, they di hl.
some injury to the back premises of the Globe news-
paper, but fortunafply not of that nature to cause the
slightest inconvenience to the working arrangements of our
contemporary. Before the fire could be subdued the back
premises of Messrs. Soathby were entirely destroyed. Un-
fortunately a very valuable collection of Biblical works
have perished in the fire, the value of whtch is beyond esti-
mation. The books were, we believe, on the premises for
sale by auction, which proceeding was expected to occupy
fully eleven days. Two days out of the sale had proceeded,
and the property, it is said, had realised over £2,000.

FINSBURY.

Last evening the first public meeting called on be-.
half of Mr. Alderman Lusk, who is one of the five
candidates for the representation of this borough,
was held in the Spa Chapel School-rooms, Clerken-
well. Mr. E. J. Thompson, churchwarden of the
parish, presided, and there was a very full attendance.
Alderman LUSK, in the course of his address, stated
that he would not merely advocate an extension and
enlargement of the franchise to the extent of in
counties and £6 in boroughs, but he would altoge-
ther abolish the unnecessary distinction between the
occupier of the whole and the occupier of the part of
a house. All, he thought, who contributed to the
income-tax should have the vote, and with the vote
he would give the ballot. He was also in favour of
triennial Parliaments and the re-distribution of elec-
toral districts. With respect to the question of
Church-rates, he thought it would be for the good of
the Church if these rates were entirely abolished, and
he was a determined supporter of free trade, for with
a practical knowledge of commerce he had arrived at
the conclusion that free trade would be a means of pro-
iuuting civilisation. fie wasiu favour of superintend-
ing the area of Poor Law rating, and he would support
any measure which equalised taxation for the poor.
In answer to many questions which were put to
him the Alderman said he hoped Roman Catholics
would be desirous of having the nunneries inspected,
as they were in Roman Catholic countries, and he
was opposed to the opening of museums on Sunday.
With respect to the Permissive Bill, he was not pre-
pared to say he would vote for it, but, at the same
time, he would not say he would vote against it.
Mr. WILCOX moved a resolution pledging the
meeting to support the candidature of the Alder-
man. In the course of his remarks the speaker
said he looked upon the Alderman coming for-
ward as a candidate for the borough as a great
compliment to Finsbury—an expression of opinion
which caused a great uproar.
Mr. BLACKLE seconded the resolution, which was
carried with a few dissentients, and the proceedings
concluded.

CLERICAL SUBSCRIPTION.

Mr. F. H. DYKE, by direction of the Archbishop, read
her Majesty's royal license to rescind the 36th canon and
to make, promulgate, and execute a• new canon in place
thereof, and also to alter and amend the 37th, 38th, and
40th canons.

Their lordships considered tho matter for a long time in
committee.

THE 29m CANON.

The Bishop of Oxrono said that, as his Grace the Presi -
dent had been pleased to favour them with the communi-
cation ho had received from her Majesty's Government in
reference to the 29th canon, he would venture to make a
proposition on the subject. He understood that it had been
considered by her Majesty's Government that the exact
terms of the canon proposed to be substituted for the old
29th canon were thought by the legal advisers of the
Crown to exceed that which was asked for at the last sit-
ting of Convocation, and which, in consequence of that re-
quest, W 8.4 conceded by the royal license. As the intention
of Convocation was to express explicitly what they meant
and to keep themselves distinctly to what the royal license
gave them the power of doing, ho would propose, with the
sanction of his Grace, that they should remove the only
word, capax, objected to, and restore the word particeps as
it stood in the old canon. He should also propose to make
a corresponding alteration in the English canon, which, in-
stead of standing, " shall be capable of receiving," would read
" bath received." The effect of this would be that it would
remove from the canonthe prohibition of the parents stand-
ing as sponsors, and the requirements that the parents should
be present at the baptism of their children. It was un-
necessary that he should again go over the arguments which
had been before urged why this was thought desirable,
and he would simply propose that the draft canon be
altered in the way he had suggested—that the assent of
the Lower House to the alteration be obtained—and that
his Grace the Archbishop bo requested to communicate
with her Majesty's Government on the subjeet in order
to ascertain if the form in which the canon would then
be framed the objections raised by the Government were
entirely removed. He thought it would also bo requisite
that they should again go through the necessary forms of
drawing up the canon, because he believed that in former
instances ono or two informalities occurred. It was there-
fore desirable that they should go through all the forms
again, so as to leave no question or doubt to be raised here-
after. It appeared that on a former occasion his Grace the
Archbishop and the Upper House went down to the Lower
House, whereas all the forms required that the Lower
House should have been summoned to wait upon the Upper
House. He now proposed that they should communicate
to the Lower House, not only the fact of this being their
object, but that they should again go through all the forms,
so that they might bo strictly accurate in their mode of
proceeding.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously.

BOURSE, June 28.—1 t would be difficult to depict
the aspect of the various markets to-day. The
principal Securities have been almost totally ne-
glected, quotations have receded in almost every
instance, and speculators would seem to act under
the apprehension of some financial disaster. Credit
Mobilier Shares, which yesterday suffered a so Me-
what heavy fall during the latter hours of business,
have been done at a further reduction of 6fr. 25c.
The sudden and remarkable relapse of Mexican
Stock would lead to the conclusion that discouraging
intelligence had been received from that country—
the Old- Loan being now quoted at 441, and the
New at 341 fr. 25c. (end July). French 'Three per
Cents. and Italian Fives have also slightly lost on

ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION.—Yesterday
being the 27th anniversary of the coronation of her
Majesty Queen Victoria, that event, which took place at
Westminster Abbey on the 28th of June, 1838, was cele-
brated in the metropolis by the firing of royal salutes in
the Park and the Tower. .The Royal standard was hoisted
at the Tower and all the Government establishttlents. At
Windsor the bells of the Chapel Royal, of St. George, and
parish church. began ringing at an early hour, while Royal
salutes of 21 guns were fired from Fort Belvedere, and the
Royal Adelaide frigate at Virginia Water. Excursion
trains on the Brighton and South Coast and other railways
were run in celebration of this annivsrsary.
TURN-OUT AT THE HARTLEPOOL IRON WORKS.—
