SEEDS.

There has been a moderato 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 Or EAST GLOCESTERSHIRL—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. J. Curtis Hayward, the chairman of
the Conservative committee, in which he 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 satisfactorily represent
then in Parliament." The Hon. Grantley Berkeley has
also addressed the electors, promising to go to the poll,
on the supposition that the electors wish to return " a
representative who will be firm to Lord Derby, or any
other Minister whose measures will mete to every class
in her Majesty's dominions a fair share of those blessings
which are not blessings shared in universally."
LrvEnron, 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 goes out to take command of the Pacific
fleet. The South American paddle steamer, Captain
- Haram, sails to-morrow, with about 50 passengers River
and
the mails for Lisbon, Madeira, Brazils, and the
Plate. The screw steamer Hydasp4, late Lusitania,
sailed to-day for Marseilles, having been purchased from
the South American and General Steam-ship Company,
by the French Iraperial Company, to run between any,
by
and Balaklava.
TER GUAYMAS ArrAlß.—ln that portion of the nar-
rative of the affair at Guayamas between the French and
the Mexicans, Doctor Pigne-Dupuytren states positively
that Mr. Calvo, 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 Raousset likewise." • He further
states that there are twenty people ready to swear before
God that he used these words.—Sam 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 contemporary, that Mr. Hayward,
Q.C,, succeeds Lord Courtenay as Secretary to the
Peor-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
anti responsible post in question. His juridical and
general acquirements have been abundantly proved by
his writings, and by his eighteen years editorship of the
Last Magazine; and we know that he has, for many
years, paid a persevering attention to the administra-
tion of the poor 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 lie 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 fbr several
years, p? obly and successfully muniuintered
