LAMBETH REGATTA.

The annual oars' contest for a purse of sovereigns,

aquatic readers.

LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the order of the day
for the consideration of the Lords' amendments to the
above Bill. He said there was one clause, with respect
to old persons, which the Lords had omitteti. To that
amendment, considering the general feeling which had
been manifested in the House with respect to it, he
should disagree.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to another
amendment, relative to the admission of rate-payers to
the meetings of the boards of guardians, as the main
principles of the poor-law were not involved, he thought
the amendment might be agreed to. On the other,
however, he considered the better course would be to
disagree with the Lords' amendment.—(Hear.)
Mr. WAKLEY moved the adjournment of the de-
bate.

Mr. ETWALL was surprised that the Government
so readily gave up this clause; he begged to negative the
motion of the Noble Lord.
Sir G. GREY said it would be better to leave it to
the discretion of the board of guardians, as to the ex-
clusion of strangers from their meetings.
Mr. WAKLEY thought it would be better to ex-
punge h sth clauses, and then upon an agreement with
the Lords, one of them might be retained and the other
expunged.
Mr. BROTHERTON had acted as a guardian, and
he was aware of the objection that the poor entertained
to exposing their affairs to the rate-payers, and if it was
for that alone he would vote against it.

Captain PECHELL said that it the press and public
were admitted, there would be no more such scenes
enacted as had taken plane at Andover.
Mr. P. BORTH WICK was utterly inaudible in the
gallery.
After a few words from Mr.ETWALL,
The House divided, and there appeared—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority against the amendment —7o
The Lords' amendments to the Irish Poor-law Admi-
nistration Bill were agreed to.
Polling Places (Ireland) Bill, Lords' amendments,were
agreed to.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at One o'clock, till Three this
day (Tuesday).

NORWICH ELECTION.

A Liberal candidate has already appeared for the
suffrages of the constituency of Norwich, in the per-
son of the eminent railway contractor, Mr. Samuel
Morton Peto. We congratulate the independent
electors of this city upon the opportunity which is
thereby afforded them of returning as their represen-
tative in the new Parliament a gentleman so
peculiarly qualified to maintain the national interests
with integrity against the factious opposition of the
anti-reform, anti-cleanliness, anti-free-trade, anti-
everything-sensible party, led by Lord George
Bentinck. Are the electors of Norwich be-
lievers in the perfectibility of the Constitu-
tion ? Are they advocates of gradual reforms in
that Constitution ? If so, they will support the Li-
beral candidate ; and that Liberal candidate is Mr.
Peto. Are the electors of Norwich desirous of sana-
tory improvement ? Are they lovers of domestic
and personal cleanliness ? If so, they will support
none other than the antagonist of the Noble Lord
the Member for Lynn, and his followers, for by
quashing the Health of Towns Bill the fql-
lowers of Lord George Bentinck proved them-
selves to be DIRTY POLITICIANS. Will Norwich
send a DIRTY POLITICIAN to Parliament as
its representative ? Surely not. A man honest in
principles, liberal in character, sound in judgment,
influential in position—such is the only man who
should be selected by the constituency of the princ,pal
town of Norfolk. For these reasons we are satisfied
that Mr. Peto—as the Liberal candidate—will be
returned, and that he will be returned triumphantly.

following resolution unanimously agreed to at a meeting

That the Association, deeply impressed with the

the Liberal interest have agreed to preserve, and whish
course is set forth as follows:

" ' That a ballot card or letter shall be addressed to
each registered elector, Stith a declaration to be signed
before the elector ballots, pledging his honour not, to
vote, in the event of a poll, for any other than the Reform
candidates, it being clearly understood that the two
candidates having the lowest number of votes shall im-

to request that you will attend at Captain Hall's Riding
School, Albany street, %gem's Park, on Monday, 19th

the resolution. To enable you to do so, you will per-

FIRST HEAT.

John Harris and E. Lip,cornbe (Yellow) I
J. G. Moore and G. Farmer (White) 2

Thomas Aver and W. Ardley(Green)
Blue took the lead, followed by green. Yellow then
went to work in plucky style, overhauled green, and
went into the second place. Yellow then challenged
blue, and rowed outside of them against the tide, and
won the heat in first rate style.

SECOND HEAT.
George Janos and Thomas Harrison (Pink) 1
John Harrison and Thomas Martin (Brown) 2
Robert Simmonds and Henry Weilatts (Red) 0
The winners took the lead and kept it.
GRAND HEAT.
John Harris and E. Lipscomb°

J. P. Moore and G. Farmer
They were together for a few minutes at a rattling
pace, then yellow went in front, and kept it in gallant
style.
Upon a moderate calculation, we should say there were
5,000 persons present at this match.
LIMEHOUSE REGATTA.

This event also came off yesterday, and was exceed-
ingly well contested, in the presence of a vast concourse
of spectators. The prize was a new skiff for the first
man, to which were added 51. for the second man, and
other amounts for the remainder. The race was in five
heats, with six scullers.

MONDAY. RLY 26.—Mr. George Carr Glyn, the well-
known banker and railway director, is a candidate for
this boroutfh, and occupies the enviable position of being
thought well of by two strongly-.spposed parries. Mr.
Glyn's politics are Whig; he seeks a seat in Parliament,
however, not as the supporter of mere party, but as a
leading member of that new intere,t, which, though
lately come into existerce, is already powerful. Mr.
Glyn is on the spot. The election will take place on
Wednesday or Thursday.

COUNTY OF CAITHNESS.—There is no likelihood of
any opposition to the return of Mr. Trail.—Caledonian
Mercury.

return of Mr. Duncan will be quite unmolested.
EDINBURGH.—Mr. Charles Cowan has determined to
go to the poll.

don, has addressed the constituency of these burghs in
opposition to the Earl of Lincoln.—Caledonian Mercury.
FORFA RSHIRE.—The present Member, Lord F.:, G.
Hallyburton, will be returned without opposition.
FIFESHIRE.—In this county there will be a keen con-
test between Mr. Fergus, once Member for Kilkardy,
who stands on the Liberal interest, and Mr. Balfour, of
Balbirnie, Peel Conservative. The present Member,
Captain Wemys, retires.
PAISLEY.—We regret to learn that Mr. Hastie, the
Member for Paisley, is confined to his house in Rutland-
gate, from a severe attack of inflammatory sore-throat,
which will prevent him from paying his respects to his
constituents. Mr. Hastie will, we believe, be re-elected
without opposition.

TEWKESBURY.

In consequence of the small constituency in this
borough, the election here is quite an uncertainty, and
every vote being valuable has led to a great deal of
treating. The three candidates. Viscount Lascelles
(Conservative), Mr. Martin and Mr. Ilumphry Brown
(Liberals), are actively engaged with their friends, the
nomination being fixed for Wednesday, and the polling
for Thursday next. All the candidates have issued ad-
dresses, calling upon their friends to be early at the
hustings on Wednesday, and at the poll on Thursday,
and Viscount Lascelles, in his address, says :—" Our
enemies are vigilant and unscrupulous ; I therefore hope
I shall be excused when I urge on my friends, collec-
tively and individually, a further continuance of those
exertions which have been so nobly and disinterestedly
called into action until every man is polled."

FRAN CE.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Journal des Debats contains a long article in
which it declares itself in favour of the cause of re-
form in Italy, and expresses its astonishment that
while such persons as M. Guizot and M. Rossiare,
the directors of the policy of France, in regard to
the Italian affairs, there could have been any doubt
as to the liberality of the views taken by the French
Government upon that subject. The Debuts calls
upon the Italians to repudiate the wild ideas of the
ultra-Liberals in other countries in Europe, and to
trust to their own good sense and the enlightened
feelings of their rulers for safe and moderate reform.
Had this been the first time the Lab its had spoken
out upon the march of affairs in Italy, the article
in question might be considered pretty satisfactory,
notwithstanding some internal symptoms of insin-
cerity. The Debdts applies to Italy the specious
but fallacious doctrines of M. Guizot with respect
to France. In his speech to the electors of
Lisieux, M. Guizot told his constituents that
" every party in France could promise them reform,
but that the Conservatives were the only party to
give it," and he followed up that speech by declar-
ing, in answer to M. Duvergier's speech in favour
of electoral reform, that reform of any kind was
not required, and that he, for one, would not con-
sent to its being granted. In the same way the
Debats declares itself, in the abstract, in favour of
reform in Italy ; but it tells the Italians not to take
their notions of reform from reformers, but from the
absolute governments, which are the instruments of
oppression of which they complain. The Debats
well knows, that as long as people look to such
sources fur amelioration there is no great danger
of the reformers being alarmingly extensive. We
should be glad to see some surer signs of the
kindly feelings of the French Government in favour
of the liberal tendencies of Italy than the mere
verbal assurance of the Mbats•
We cannot help
suspecting that the same policy „bich has induced
• Guizot to interfere so unfairly and so unwar-
rantably In the aff.irs of liberal Switzerland, will
on the first favourable occasion that offers, be car-
ried out in regard to the Italinn Liberals also. In
no one of the countries in which the influence of
France is felt, has M. Guizot hitherto exercised it
for any
than the narrowest, the most illiberal, and
the
Must egostical of motives, and we see no reason
why Italy should be an exception to all the othei
cases. We shall therefore withhold our full coea-
dence in the fine words of the Debats till skis. find

ANDOVER.

The day of nomination for this borough is fixed for
Wednesday next, and the election for Thursday. The
candidates are Mr. 11. Beaumont Coles, of Middleton
House, Long Parish, Hampshire, and Mr. William
Cubitt, one of the sheriffs of the city of London, on the
Conservative interest; and Mr. J. N. Fellows, of Egs-
ford, Devon, and Mr. C. Smith, a gentleman of the
Western Circuit, on the Liberal interest. Messrs. Coles
and Cubitt have retained Mr. Lamb, of Andover, and
Mr. J. Bowen May, of 14, Queen's square, London, to
conduct their election, who report their candidates
almost certain to be returned. The Liberal interest
is attended to by Mr. H. Footner, of Andover, who
speaks with confidence of the success of one of his
clients.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
The Adelphi is famous for its lessons of social philoso
PhY, and never—was there a nrwe succesiful, or t,
more useful, or a more entertaining prokssor of the
science than Mr. Wright. Having given a Itsson
Married men, by showing them how to send their wivee
to Camberwell he now takes in hand the bachelors, and,
in Row to Settle Accounts with your Laundress, shows how
the
judge; of the small debts court may be set at deli anc(-
8,!,e3P1,) by paying a small fee to the clergyman. He settles
accounts by giving, a written promise to marry his
creditor (Miss Woolgar), but having an ail:: r
rh an Opera dancer on the very day en
he with Opera dancer on the very (lay en .hic.
he becomes due, he refuses to take himself up
and declares that he will suffer himself to be
protested—noted he has been any time these seven
years. The laundress announces to him her intention to
honour, not his bill, but his water-butt, by her presence,
and accordingly, when the unhappy man goes to the
said water butt, he is horrified by discovering therein
the body, as ho thinks, of his deceived laundress, who,
since he will not settle her account, has settled herself.
This is a settler upon which the unfortunate wight had
not reckoned, and if the body should be found
he will most assuredly be hanged for murder.
The laundress meanwhile (it is a dummy which she has
placed in the water-butt) assumes all sorts of disguises.
keeps her unfortunate victim perpetually on the rack, and
on the appearance of the opera dancer, actually sits down
to supper with her, while the unfortunate man assumes the
disguise of a waiter and attends upon them, lest having
refused to take himself up, some one else should do that
same for him on an accusation of murder. Having
agonized him sufficiently, to the great delight
of the audience, the pretty laundress explains all, not.
only takes him up, but promises to " honour " him for
the rest of her days. This is one of the regular, old-
fashioned Adelphi screamers, and will run some hun-
dreds of nights—All Wright.

BRADFORD.

MONDAY, JULY 26.—The two Liberal and the two
Conservative candidates are still in the field, and the
contest is expected to be a very stiff one.
CARLISLE (CITY).
_. .. . . ... .

MONDAY, JULY 26..—The contest for Carlisle is likely
to be both warm and interesting. Mr. Philip Henry
Howard,.of Corby, again offers himself. He is a Whig
and Roman Catholic, a supporter of the Russell ministry,
and, of course, " something more with regard to Roman-
ism." The candidates for the other seat are two new
men—Mr. William Nicholson Hodgson, a native of Car-
lisle, brought up to the profession of the bar, but not
in practice, and Mr. John Dixon, the head of the ex-
tensive manufacturing house of Messrs. Peter Dixon
and Sons, also a native of the city. Mr. Hodgson
comes forward on Protectionist and Protestant princi-
ples, and his friends say that his return is secure. Mr.
Dixon was at one time a Tory, but he now stands on
Liberal principles.

COCKERMOUTII.
MONDAY, JULY 26.—Mr. Aglionby and Mr. Horsman
will be re-elected without opposition.
CUMBERLAND (EAST).

MONDAY, JULY 26.—50 far there are only two candi-
dates for East Cumberland—namely, the Hon. C.
Howard (brother of Lord Morpeth), the late Member,
and Mr. William Marshall (eldest son of the late Mr.
John Marshall, of Leeds), who quits Carlisle for the
higher honour of county representation. These candi-
dates are both on the same side in politics, and they are
canvassing in company.
CUMBERLAND (WEST).
MONDAY, JULY 26.—There will be no contest in this
division of Cumberland. Mr. Edward Stanley, of Pon-
sonby Hall, again offers himself, and will be well re-
ceived. Mr. Irton retires, and Mr. Henry Lowther,
eldest soa of the Hon. Colonel Lowther, comes forward
in his room and on the s Ime principles—that is to say,
protection to native industry and opposition to the fur-
ther endowment of Romanism. The election will take
place at Cockermouth on or about Tuesday week.
DROITWICH.
This election is fixed for Friday, the nomination
being on that day, and the polling on Saturday. Both
parties, Sir J. S. Pakington, the late Member (Conser-
vative), and :sir. Lloyd Liberal), are confident.
DUDLEY.

The election is fixed to take place on Wednesday (to-
morrow.) The nomination is fixed for nine o'clock. Mr.
Benbow (Conservative), the late member, is the only
candidate at present, and there will be no opposition,
unless it should arise at the last moment.
EVESHAM.

All is bustle and confusion here, though the proceed.
ings of the three parties are conducted without any
breach of order or propriety. The election is fixed for
Wednesday and Thursday next. The nomination will
take place on the former day, and the polling (should
the three candidates go to a poll) on Thursday. The
candidates are the late member, L,:rd Marcus Hill
(Liberal), Sir Ralph Howard (Liberal), and Sir Henry
Willoughby (Conservative), out of which two have to be
selected.

The nomination is fixed for Wednesday, and the poll
for the day following. The friends of Sir C. Wood and
Mr. Miall, the Liberal candidate, speak of their return as
certain. The friends of Mr. Edwards, the Conservative

KENDAL.
MONDAY, JULY 26.—Mr. George Carr Glyn, the well-
known banker and railway director, is a candidate for
this borough, and occupies the enviable position of being
thought well of by two strongly-opposed parties. Mr.
Glyn's politics are Whig; he seeks a seat in Parliament,
howevet. not as the supporter of mere party, but as a
leading member of that new interest, which, though
lately come into existence, is already powerful. Mr.
Glyn is t,n the spot. The election will take place on
Wednesday or Thursday.
This electionwill
