SEEDS.

There has been a moderate inquiry for 'clover seed, at
about stationary prices. Linseed and rapeseed move off
freely, at extreme quotations. Cakes are quite as dear as
last week. In other articles very little is doing.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST GLOCESTERSHIRE.—NO
reply has yet been received from Mr. Holford, who has
been solicited by the Conservatives to come for-
ward for the vacant seat, and who is still upon
the Continent ; but an address has been put for-
ward by Mr. 3. Curtis Hayward, the chairman of
the Conservative committee, in which be says, Mr.
Holford's "high character, and his well-known prin-
ciples, are a sufficient guarantee to the electors of the
division, that he would most satisractorily represent
them in Parliament." The Hon. Grantley Berkeley has
also addressed the electors, promising to go to the poll,
on tie supposition that the electors wish to return " a
representative who will be firm to Lord Derby, or any
other Minister whiise measures will mete to every class
in her Majesty's dominions a fair share of those blessings
which are not blessings shared in universally."
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 9.—The Royal mail steamer Ame-
rica, Lang commander, sailed for Halifax and Boston
to-day with 150 passengers, including Rear-Admiral
Bruce, who goei out to take command of the Pacific
fleet. The South American paddle steamer, Captain
Haram, sails to-morrow, with about 50 passengers and
the mails for Lisbon, Madeira, Brazils, and the River
Plate. The screw steamer Hydaspd, late Lusitania,
sailed to-day for Marseilles, having been purchased from
the South American and General Steam-ship Company,
by the French Imperiet Company, to run between that
pert and Balaklava.
TEN GUAYAMAS AFFAIR.—In that portion of the nar-
rative of the affair at Guayamas between the French and
the Mexicans, Doctor Pigne-Dupuytren states positively
that Mr. Calve, the Consul of France, said to the French
assembled about his house—" Surrender to me your
arms, and I promise you the lives of all shall be safe,
and that of Count de Raonsset likewise." He further
states that there are twenty people ready to swear before
God that he used these words.—San Francisco Herald,
Oct. 29.
THE SECRETARYSHIP TO THE POOR-LAW BOARD. —The
statement which we published two or three days ago,
on the authority of a contemporAy, that Mr. Hayward,
Q.C., succeeds Lord Oourtenay •as Secretary to the
Poor-law Board, is, we believe, well founded ; and the
appointment will be viewed with just and general satis-
faction by all who are acquainted with the peculiar qua-
lifications of that learned gentleman for the important
and responsible post in question. his juridical and
general acquirements have been abundantly proved by
his writings, and by his eighteen years' editorship of the
Law Magazine eras

aoor laws, and that he has written fully,
ably, and on sound principles, upon nearly every sub-
ject connected with it. In the course of a public in-
quiry which he conducted in Dublin, in 1847, his duty
led him to examine personally into the condition of the
poor of that city ; and his report exhibits a complete and
thorough acquaintance with all the leading sanitary
questions which bear on the well-being of the humbler
classes. From all that we know of the high character,
sound judgment, and enlightened views both of the Pre-
sident of the Poor-law Board and of his new coadjutor,
we are satisfied that those gentlemen will most cordially
and efficiently co-operate in the business of that im-
portant department which Mr. Baines has for several
years, so ably and successfully adminOtered,
