Writ W. MOLESWORTH FOR LEEDS.—On Thurs-
day evening, a public ward meeting, principally of the Li-
beral electors of Holbeck, *as held, for the purpose of
deciding who were the most fit and proper persons to be
brought forward as candidates to represent Leeds in Par-
liament, in case the anticipated dissolution should take
place. The speakers stated that, in the selection of pro-
per candidates, the "wishes of the non-electors ought to be
consulted as well as those of the electors. The resolutions
were passed unanimously : they were in effect that Sir 'Wil-
liam Molesworth was the most suitable person, in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Baines, to represent the borough of Leeds
in Parliament, and that the electors would support those
two gentlemen, in case a dissolution should occur. Similar
meetings are to be held in the other wards. We hail with
pleasure the recognition made by the electors of Holbeck,
of the rights of the working classes to have their interests
consulted in the choice of candidates. The Leeds Times
says—" We understand it has been ascertained that out of
the 180 voters on the Holbeck list, no fewer than 160 are
decidedly in favour of Sir W. Molesworth.—Hull Observer
Intelligence of Captain Back has been received at
the Admiralty. That gallant sailor was seen on the Ist of
August in Hudson's Straits, lat. 62, long. 71. The ice was
represented as being very thick upon the coast ; but we
know, if skill and perseverance can conquer the obstacles of
climate, Captain Back is the man to overcome them. We
may, for memory's sake, repeat, that he is in command of
.his Majesty's ship Terror, and directed to proceed with her
to Wager River, on the western shore of Sir Thomas Roe's
Welcome. He is there to ascertain the most convenient
place for transporting boats and stores across the interven-
ing isthmus ; and, having placed his ship in security, he is
to proceed, with the resources thus placed at his command,
both north and west, along the shores of Regent's Inlet, to
connect the point whence he will thus start both with Uccle
and Fury Strait and Point,Turnagain.- -T,iterau Gazette.
Our readers will recollect that a few days since we
announced the unpleasant circumstances under which a
certain Noble Lord well known in the sporting world,
thought fit to leave London. The sealing up a pack of
cards after a party at ecarte, at which his Lordship was a
large winner, and the determination to submit them to the
committee of a club, will recal the circumstances more par-
ticularly to the curious. It appears now that the Noble
Lord has thought fit to return to town, and to call on the
Commoner, his accuser, for the satisfaction usual among
gentlemen ; and that on account of the delay which inter-
vened before that appeal was made, and the other remark-
able circumstances of the case, the Commoner had declined
to give the required meeting. His Lordship is said to have
again gone to the Continent. —Morning Post.

THE DERBY.

Our last statement of the betting here included the Brother to
Augustus for the first time, his price then being 35 to 1, or takers
of 40 to 1 ; he is now little more than half those odds, 25 to 1
having been taken yesterday, and offers made to the takers to go
on on the same terms. The " offer" appears to have been given a
day or two earlier at Manchester, for we find that on Monday he
had plenty of friends at ten points less than were offered at Hyde
Park-corner on Monday. The consequence of this advance was an
increased disposition to bet against Dardanelles ; but business yes-
terday was altogether so flat, and the backers of horses so shy, as
to afford no opportunity for further observation. The following are
the closing prices :-
8 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Jereed
14 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Bro. to Bay Middleton—take 9 to 1
9 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Defender
16 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dardanelles
20 to 1 agst 11r. Wreford's Wintonian—take 25 to 1
20 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Brother to Augustus—take 25 to 1
33 to 1 agst Mr. Bowers's Lord Stafford

His Majesty's Stag Hounds met at Langley on Monday, and
after a beautiful run of two hours and a half, took the deer at White
Waltham. On Wednesday they met at Broomhill Hut, and had a
run of an- hour and three-quarters, with a capital scent ; the deer
was taken at Marlow, the distance being nearly twenty miles as the
crow flies.

HIS MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.-Two or three paragraphs have
lately appeared which are calculated to produce erroneous imptes-
sions on two or three points connected with the management of the
King's Stag Hounds. Without transcribing, them, it is sufficient
for our purpose to state their import, which resolves itself into three
causes of dissatisfaction, viz.:—That the hounds commenced hunt-
ing later than usual this season ; that the time of meeting was half-
past eleven instead of half-past ten ; and that the promise of a
week's hunting in the Aylesbury country was not kept. A simple
statement of facts will be the best answer to these grave charges.
In the first place the season actually commenced earlier this year
than has been customary, the first fixtures being advertised on the
31st of October; moreover (and we mention it as a proof of the
anxiety of the Noble Master of the Hounds to afford sport) it com-
menced with three days a-week instead of two, as was the custom
with former Masters, Wednesday being selected as the most conve-
nient day for the farmers and other occupiers of land in the vicinity
of the hunt. That the hour of meeting is half-past eleven instead
of the one suggested arises from a desire to accommodate those who
have to ride from London and the places distant from the meeting,
and from no other motive, as it must be obvious that half-past ten
would personally be infinitely more agreeable to the Master of the
Hounds, who is of early habits, and cannot have any great liking
for a ride of fifteen or twenty miles in the dark after a hard day's
hunting ; and that this is frequently the case those who hunt with
the Stag Hounds can testify. With respect to the alleged disap-
pointment, through not going into the vale of Aylesbury, it should
be remembered that the time proposed for doing so followed imme-
diately after the heavy fall of snow at the beginning of November ;
that the country was in a frightfully heavy state; and that,. al-
though the Master of the Hounds was willing they should go, the
public, or rather the majority of the gentlemen who are in the
habit of hunting with them, were not so disposed. His Lordship,
therefore, feeling convinced that if he went he should have the
hunting to himself, postponed the contemplated visit to February.
We believe we may add, however, that if timely notice be given to
his Lordship of a general wish for a week's hunting in the vale, due
preparations will be made for its taking place as soon as possible'.

On Wednesday the celebrated harriers of Messrs. Roper, of
Hollingbourn, had an excellent run. A hare was started from the
parish of Ash, which after a capital run of 35 minutes, in which
she swam several brooks without a check, took refuge in the house
of a harness-maker at Wingham, where she was taken alive.
