REPRESENTATION OF BOSTON.

BOSTON, JULY 30.—1 t is now generally under-
stood that Mr. Freshfield will contest the representa-
tion of the borough on the Conservative interest.
That gentleman has issued an address to the electors,
in which he states that he is a firm Protectionist, and
will strive for the restoration of the privileges of
which the agricultural interest has been deprived.
lie expresses his decided hostility to any national
support being given to the Roman Catholic Church,
and wishes the Protestant institutions of the country
to be preserved intact. The excitement in the
borough is very great, and the friends of Captain
Pelham and Mr. D. W. Wire have expressed alarm
lest the division in the Liberal camp may injure their
cause. Many ineffectual attempts have been made to
obtain the retirement of one of these gentlemen from
the contest, but each declares his firm and unwavering
intention of persevering to the issue. A meeting of
the supporters of Mr. Freshfield was held last even-
ing, and resolutions passed pledging those present to
support him, but they were not carried without op-
position. It is fully anticipated that the contest will
be between Mr. %Vire and Mr. Freshfield, whose
friends have laboured most effectually in obtaining
support for him during the short period he has
been in the town. The nomination is definitively
fixed for Wednesday next, to commence at ten
o'clock.

SALE OF AN ENCUMBERED ESTATE.—The estate
of a Roman Catholic baronet of ancient family, in the
county of Westmeath, was sold recently in the
Court of Chancery. The nominal rental is 3,3001.
per annum, but a considerable portion of the
estate is merely a life interest, not much more
than one-half being fee-simple. Mr. Ennis, the pre-
sent High-Sheriff of the county of Dublin, who was a
creditor of the estate, and the first encumbrancer, to
the amount of 28,0001., bid 29,300/., and Mr. Kemmis
became the purchaser for 29,5001. But Mr. Kemmis
was a creditor to the extent of 15,0004, and,
in self-defence, he bought the property, because
the first encumbrance being 28,0001, which should
be defrayed before his own claim, he should either
forfeit his mortgage of 15,0001, or become possessor of
the batikrept estates. It is a circumstance deserving of
attention, that this estate has been much neglected in
regard to anything in the shape of outlay for improve-
ment. The poor-rate during the famine has risen some-
times to 11a. in the pound on the valuation, whilst on an
adjoining estate, in the same electoral division of the
Mullingar "tinier, ihe rate has been as low as sd. in the
pound !
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colo-
nial-office from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon,
the Mauritius, and Gibraltar.
