TESTIMONIAL TO THE EARL OF

PO WIS.

On Saturday a meeting, over which the Bishop of
Bangor presided, was held at Willis's Rooms, St. James's,
to promote a testimonial to the Earl of Powis for his
exertions in the preservation of the sees of St. Asaph
and Bangor.
There were present the Earls of Nelson and Winchil-
sea; Lords Kenyon, Lyttelton, and J. Manners; the
Bishop of Exeter, Salisbury, Oxford, and Lichfield; the
Recorder of London; the lion. D. Pennant, M.P.; Sir
R. Glynn, Bart., M.P.; Sir F. Lewis, M.P., and other
members of Parliament and gentlemen connected with
the principality of Wales.
The CsAIRHAN having pronounced an eulogy on the
exertions of Lord Powis, and expressed the gratitude of
the principality towards him, explained the business of
the meeting.
Lord KENYoN expressed the great pleasure he felt in
being permitted to propose the first resolution, to the
effect that it was desirable to exhibit, by some permanent
testimonial, the gratitude due to the Earl of Powis from
the members of the English Church, and proceeded at
length to show the obligations conferred by his energy
on the Church and on the principality in the preserva-
tion of the sees above named.
The resolution was seconded by
The Dean of ST. Asapa, who rejoiced to find that
the eause so ably defended by Earl Powis had found so
many friends in England. The rev. dignitary described
the idea of dividing the revenues of the extinguished see
amongst the clergy, as a sop designed to secure their
acquiescence in the scheme : the idea, however, had met
with no idulgence from the clergy.
Lord NELSON proposed a resolution that the testi-
monial should be in the form of some institution for the
permanent benefit of the Church in Wales.
This resolution, having been seconded in an appro-
priate manner by the Dean of BANGOR, was, as well as
the first resolution, carried unanimously.
The Bishop of EXETER proposed the next resolution,
That, inasmuch as the immediate foundation of the
see of Manchester, and the early prospect of a further
extension of the English episcopate, were in a great
measure due to the persevering exertions of the Earl of
Powis, a general appeal throughout England should be
made to the members of the Church for their support in
the undertaking."
The resolution was seconded by Lord LYrrEvrox
(who spoke in high praise of the perseverance of Lord
Powis in the House of Lords at a time when there ap-
peared no reasonable chance of the success of the cause
he advocated), and carried in the same manner as those
by which it was preceded.
Colonel TREVOR moved, " That the proposed institu-
tion should be an institution of scholarships and exhibi-

The resolution was seconded by the Hon. C. DOUGLAS
PENNANT, and carried.
Lard J. MANNERS proposed the appointment of a
committee to collect subscriptions and arrange the details
for carrying the former resolutions into effect, which
was seconded by the Rev. Dr. HANN-TREY, and carried.
Lord Lyttelton, on the motion of the Bishop of SA-
LISBURY, seconded by the Bishop of OXFORD, was ap-
pointed treasurer ; and a vote of thanks haviug been
carried for the Prelate in the chair, which was aelalOw-
,edged by his Lordship, the meeting broke up.
A subscription was opened in the room, and nearly
pm/. subscribed.

BOROUGH Or MIRTLEBONE.—The position of this
great metropolitan borough with regard to the candi-
dates for its representation is most singular. The Con-
servatives have had a host of candidates mentioned,
commencing with Sir James Hamilton, and after having
gone the round, have come back to the point whence
they started. There can be no doubt now but Sir James
Hamilton will be the Conservative candidate, for on
Saturday the walls of the borough were placarded with
announcements to that effect. It is now quite certain
that Sir Charles Napier will not, as was originally in-
tended, go to Lisbon, and in consequt pee it is the inten-
tion of the Gallant Admiral again to solicit the suffrages
of the electors, and an address to that effect will be
issued by him in the course of a day or two. This
circumstance, there can be no doubt, will entirely
destroy the pre•ensions of Lord Dudley s, Stuart,
Mr. Sergeant Shoe, and Mr. Daniel Whittle
Harvey ; indeed, two out of the three candidates
named have signified their intention of retiring in the
event of Sir Charles Napier again presenting himself.
The Gallant Admiral is about to take an excellent course
for the purpose of ascertaining the feeling of the liberal
electors with regard to himself. It will be remembered
that upwards of 5,000 electors recorded their votes for
Sir B. Hall and Sir C. Napier at the last election, and to
every elector on the present register who so voted, Sir
Charles is about to send a circular and ticket signed by
the gentlemen who moved and seconded the nomination
of himself and Sir B. Hall, requesting them to
ot attedind
great public meeting, and decide szihiretßh.er or not benfor the re-
presentation, ll
and
stand as a candidate with
of course bow.
II is rumoured that Sir James Hamilton has been put
forward chiefly by the Dissenters, on account of his Pro-
testantples in opposition to those of Sergeant
and to that decision he will

tor, and the other a cabinet maker, lived in the same
house, Rue des Lions, St. Paul, No. 8. yesterday
morning they were both in Delorme's workshop, when a
quarrel arose between them, which ended inVassemousse
drawing out a pistol and shooting the other dead. He
then went and gave himself up to the commissary of
police, declaring that he had killed Delorme because he
envied his being in a better position than himself, and
of a happier disposition. He at the same time expressed
the greatest regret that he had not afterwards killed
himself.—Paris paper of Friday.
