REPRESENTATION OF BATH.—At a recent meet-
ing of the Bath Conservative Association, the members of that
miserable and factious body entered into a kind of compact to
support a gentleman, by name Bruges, on the occurrence of
the next vacancy in the representation of that city. Mr.
Bruges, the candidate, who has contrived through this famous
Association, and their ally, the Bath Chronicle, to emerge
from the obscurity of a Recorder of Devizes to become an
aspirant for senatorial honours, is a Tory. The liberal and
enlightened constituency of Bath,' we are persuaded, would
drive back Mr. Bruges, covered with defeat and disgrace, to
his proper privacy at Seend, if he should ever venture to show
his face at Bath as a candidate for their independent suffrages.
DA lILI A SHOW.—The Metropolitan Florists and
Amateurs had a second dahlia exhibition yesterday at Vaux-
hall Gardens. The display was very extensive, both on the
part of the nurserymen and the private growers, and we may
add that some of the finest flowers in the collection were con-
tributed by the latter. Mr. Keynes, of Salisbury, had one or
two, which were scarcely rivalled amongst their many compe-
titors. The seedlings wero not very numerous, but some of
them were very choice, and worthy to found a race. The
prizes were adjudged as follow -.—To nurserymen for sets of
12 blooms, Mountjoy, Willmer, Gaines, Brown, Brewer,
Chandler, Alexander, Pamplin, &c. For sets of 30, Glenny
and Salter. For sets of 100, Gaines, Brown, Jackson, and
Catleagh For 24 by amateurs, Glenny, Keynes, Maytus,
and Salter. For 12 by amateurs, Brays, Jeff, and Frazer.
The gardens were but poorly attended, although in addition
to the attractions of the floral review the day was enlivened
with music, both vocal and instrumental, besides rope-dancing,
and the setting-off of miniature paper balloons.
ATIIENS, AuG. I.—The Germans at Athens are
driving, riding, and walking, from morning till evening, to the
Phaterus to see the French fleet under Admiral Hugon,
which is here drawn up in order of battle. The largest ship
is a three decker of 120 guns, and 12 English men-of-war
are attached to the fleet. Six large French men-of-war are
expected every hour from Toulon. The presence of the fleet
occasions extraordinary bustle and activity hero, and also
causes a rise in the price of provisions.

The following unique specimen, printed with a pen,
on a deal board, was last week seen affixed to a tree standing
on a small farm about a mile from Frome :—" IF Aney ocn is

Journal.

It is said that General Goblet is going to Lisbon

It is not, perhaps, generally known that a most im-
portant alteration has been made in the law as regards the
quantity of spirits which distillers are allowed to send from
their distilleries to bonded warehouses. Formerly 80 gallons
was the smallest quantity which could be so warehoused. By
an Act of Parliament passed, of date 13th August, 1836 (6th
and 7th Will. IV., cap. 72), distillers are allowed to bond spirits
in casks of 20 gallons. The follow is the section of the Act
referred to :—" And be it further enacted, that it shall be
lawful for any distiller of spirits in England, Scotland, or Ire-
land, to warehouse any spirits distilled in the distillery of such
distiller, in casks which shall contain not less than 20 gal-
lons each, subjected to, and under, in all other respects, the
rules, regulations, enactments, fines, penalties, and forfeitures
in force in Englafid, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, relat-
ing to the distilling, warehousing, and removal of such spirits."
LISBON.—The Diario de Governo, from the 22d
to the 27th of August, inclusive, is chiefly filled with adver_
tisementS of the sales of national property, Nos. 2,025 and
2,185, and extracts from the Spanish journals down to the
20th of August.

The French Government having resolved not to
make its choice of the cast iron cannon till after the experi-
ments made under the direction of a commission appointed by
it for that purpose, invited the Swedes and English to the trial,
with nine cannon of different dimensions cast after patterns
sent from France. The Belgian Government having judged
that Belgian iron would well bear the competition with that
of England and Sweden, asked and obtained the communica-
tion of the patterns sent to the competitors, and several can-
nons cast at Liege have been sent to La Fere, where they
are to be proved,—Brussels Paper.
