WEST WORCESTER ELECTION.—The election of a
knight of the shire for the western division of this
county, in the room of General the Hon. H. B. Lygon,
raised to the peerage by the title of Earl Beauchamp,
took place yesterday, at the Grand Stand on the Wor-
cester race course. At half-past ten o'clock, the high
sheriff, Charles Noel, Esq., opened the proceedings.
The Hon. W. Coventry then proceeded to put in nomi-
nation Henry Lygon, Lord Viscount Elmley, as a fit
and proper person to represent the division in Parlia-
ment. Sir Hungerford Lechmere, seconded the nomina-
tion. The customary question having been put by the
high sheriff, and no other candidate being put in nomi-
nation, Lord Elmley was declared elected. Lord Elmley
then addressed the electors, thanking them for the high
and honourable position in which they had placed him
as their representative—a position of which he was
justly proud, and which he hoped he duly appreciated.
The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
sheriff.

Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as

two persons were injured ; one a gentleman, who was
very. severely cut on the left eye, and a young child,
whose front teeth were forced out, and face slightly
damaged.
If AUSTRALASIAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY. - —The first vessel
of the Australasian Steamship Company (Panama to

capacity for 1,200 passengers (200 first cabin, 200
second, 800 third), with 1,200 tons of coal, and 500 of
cargo. Her frame was originally intended for the
Adriatic, the fifth ship of the Collins' line, and she bas
since been completed with special reference to the pas-
senger trade in the Pacific, so as to secure room and
ventilation for the largest possible number of persons.
According to the calculations in the prospectus of the
company, it is expected that she will enable the passage
to Australia to be completed within 35 days from New
York and 50 days from England.
