REPRESENTATION OF MA.RYLE-

B)NE.

Last evening a crowded a -id influential meeting of the
electors of the borough of .Varylebone took pie at
Blagrove is Concert-rooms, Mord
mer-street, Cavendish-
square, for the purpose of hearing the political senti-
ments of David Salomons, Esq,r,;as a candidate for the
representation of the borough.
John Stewart, Esq., was at eight .O'clock called to the
Mr. DAVID SaLomoNs came forward to address the
ce
chair.
meeting, and was _received with great aknalause. The
honourable candidate avowed himself the Lataurtila sup-
porter of civil and religious liberty. He eras the friend
of education for the people, but whilst he thoug,ht that
education should be supported by the State, he should
have vote I, had be been ie Parliament, against ilia' mi-
nutes of Council, on the,ground that the Government
had no right to teach religion, and that they should have
extended the benefits to all,--(Cheers.) He tothiidered.
that freedom of trade and commerce was the only thing
that could maintain England as a great and enlightened
nation, and that a poor-law for Ireland was the only
means of permanently alleviating the distress of that
c untry. He was opposed to the principle of central-
ization, and in favour of the principle of local self-govern-
ment.—(Cheers.) A* rumour had gone abroad that he
(Mr. Salomons), if he were elected, was unable to take
'his seat in the House of Commons. He begged to assure
the constituency of Marylebone that this was a mistake.
They said he could not take the oaths. Why, he had
already taken precisely the same oaths as high-sheriff
of Middlesex, high-sheriff of Kent, and as a jnstice of
the peace.—(Cheers.) Blackstone bad laid it down that
every British-born subject, not disabled by special sta-
tute, was eligible to a seat in Parliament. Now, last
year a Bill was passed called the Religious Opinions
Bill, and that Bill repealed all the obsolete statutes
which would have disqualified him —(Hear, hear.) Mr.
&lemons further contended that he only stood in the
same position as any other dissenter, and as ho was, as
he believed, qualified in every way
to represent that
borough, he earnestly appealed to the electors for their
support.
In answer to questiots, Mr. SALOMONS exlressed him-
self a supporter of household suffrage, an opponent of
church-rates., and •also of the continuance of the esta-
blished Protestant Church of Ireland.
On the motion of B. B. WILLIAms, Esq., second( dby .
Mr. Huns BIERS, a resolution, approving of Mr. Salo-
mons as a fit and proper candidate to represent the bo-
rough in Parliament, was adopted almost unanimously,
amidst loud cheering, and thanks having been passed to
the Chairman, the meeting separated.

THE SALT TRADE.
At a meeting of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, held
at Northwich, on Saturday, the sth of June, it svas pro-
robed by Henry Ashton, Esq., of Liverpool, and
seconded by George Ellens, Esq., of Droitwich, and un-
animously resolved—
" 1. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
late enactment of the Bengal Government reducing, at
only five days' notice, the rates at which they Sell their
own salt, in a greater proportion than they have lowered
the duty on British and Foreign imported salt, has been
framed solely with the view of entirely excluding the
manufacture of this country from tne Indian market ;
and that such conduct on the part of the Bengal Go-
vernment, while it involves an admission of the severity
of their previous exactions, is utterly unworthy of the
local authorities.

" 2. That the East India Company are acting in direct
violation of their Charter, in continuing their manufac-
ture of salt, and trading in that article ; and that such
manufacture an trad cannot now befended, ether
on the score ofd e the uncertainty of thede British i
and
foreign supply, or the protection of the revenue.
" 3. That the Chairman of the Cheshire and Worces-
tershire Salt Chamber of CornmPree be accordingly au-
thorised, on behalf of the salt trade of England, formally
and eneagetically to protest to the Imperial Parliament
of Great Britain; her Majesty's Board of Commissioners
for the Affairs of India ; and the Hon. the Court of
Directors of the East India Company, against the conti-
nuance of such manutacture and sale of salt ; on the
grounds of its inconsistency with the terms on which they
hold the government of India, the injury it inflicts upon
the natives of India, and the serious impediment it offers
to the trade and manufacture of this country.
" 4. That the sincerest thanks of the Salt Trade are
due to Lord Sandon, M.P.; Sir Denis Le Marchant,
M.P. ; Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P. ; Sir J. Packington,
11. P. ; Sir P. Egerton, M.P. ; the Hon. E. J. Stanley,
M.P.; William Brown, Esq., M.P. ; William' Tatton
Egerton, Esq , M.P. ; 'William Ewart, Esq., M.P. ; John
Blackburn, Esq.. M.P. ; J. Tollemache, Esq., M.P. ;
Cornwall Legh, Esq., M.P., for the support they have
given the salt trade, and that they be respectfully re-
quested to continue to afford the benefit of their co-
operation towards the total and immediate destruction
of the East India Company's salt monopoly.
" W. WORTHINGTON, Chairman."

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S PAR-
LIAMENTARY ELECTORS' BILL.
This measure contains the following important pro-
visions :-
Ist That all poor-rates and assessed taxes due on the
fith January must b' paid before the 10th July following,
to entitle any person to be registered, and that a-personal
demand must be made within the time specified by the
authorized collector.
The presentl aw requires the rates and taxes due on
the 6th April, to be paid by 20th July.
2rl. That no person shall be disqualified by ivasoia of
not being rated, provided he have claimed to be rated
previous to the making of the second rate in the electoral
year, and that such claim may be served on the overseer
at his house, or by post, as provided by the Registration
Act.

By the Reform Act, as interpreted by the Judges of
Common Pleas, every claimant must repeat his claim to
be rated to every rate from which he is omitted.
3d. That the overseer shall rate such claimant on the
existing and all future rates, but that occupiers so claim-
ing may deduct from the rent only so much as the
landlord may have previously compounded for.
4th. That every overseer who shall neglect to put
upon the rate the name of every claimant, or to keep his
name upon each following rate during his occupation,
shall be liable to a penalty of 5/.
Under the present law and practice, overseers omit the
names of claimants from all rates with impunity.
sth. That any collector who shalt 'neglect to demand
the rates or taxes with the intent to 'enable any person
to bt, registered without paying the same, shall be liable
to a penalty of 20/.

The HobarttTown papers whiclihave come to hand
reach to the 4th of February. They quote wheat 4s. to 4s.
Id. per bushel, with a steady market. The Launceston price
was 3s. 6d. to 4s. The value of flour in both places was the
same, viz. 101. per ton. Affairs in a political point of view
appear to have varied little since the previous advises. From
Portland Bay favourable accounts had been received of the
commencement of the harvest, which, it was thought, 'would
prove abundant.
PORT OF BIDEFORD.—The Lords of the Treasury
having been pleased by their order, recently issued, to ap-
prove of Bideford as a port for the warehousing of tobacco
removed coastwise from the ports of importation for home
use, or for shipment as stores, upon proper premises being
provided, and the ComrnissiorAts of the Customs having ap-
proved of premises fur the purpose, an order has been issued
to the principal officers of the revenue throughout the king-
dom to take measures fur carrying their Lordships' order
into effect.

MANSLAUGLITER.—Yesterday an inquest was held
before Mr. William Baker, at the Black Horse, School-house-
lane, Ratcliff, on the body of Ann Ford, aged forty-six years,
who died on Sunday morning last from the effects of severe
injuries she received from a man named Henry Jones Har-
rison, with whom she cohabited, on the night of Saturday,
the 15th of last month. The man is in custody, and was
remanded by Mr. Ballantine, at the Thames Police-court, on
Wednesday last, on a charge of assaalting and wounding the
deceased. Inspector Bilson deposed that,

inspector then put in the declaration. It stated in effect that
Harrison came home drunk on the night of the 15th of May,
and beat and kicked her in a very brutal manner. The de-
claration was signed by the deceased. The Coroner said he
deeply regretted that the usual course had not been followed
on this occasion, and that Mr. Ballantine, the magistrate,
had not taken the evidence of the woman upon oath, in the
presence of Harrison, which he ought to have done. He did
not think he could receive the statement of the woman now
produced by the inspector as her dying declaration. Similar
evidence to that given before the magistrate having been
adduced, the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter against Henri Jones Harrison."
MR. CHILDS, OF BUNGAY, ON SUNDAY TRAINS.—
Mr. John Childs, of Bungav, whose services in the cause of
religion and of religious liberty need no mention or lauda-
tion, says, in a letter to a friend in Edinburgh :—" I perceive

Advices from Riga to the 29th of May again report
the exchange less favourable for this country, the quotation
being 39 9-16 d. to 391Aed. Grain had become firmer since
the arrival of the last mail, and the weather, which con-
tinued cold and harsh, was now looked to with some anxiety
as regarded the growing crops. The number of ships arrived
was 1,169, of which 98 had sailed.

GLASGOW COTTON MARKET, JUNE 4, 1847.—in
the early part of the week there was a very large business
done in cotton, both by the trade and speculators, and an
advance of *d. per lb. was obtained in American descriptions.
since that the business has not been quite so large, bet
holders are very firm.—National Advertiser. • .
GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—During the past
week prices have slightly Cvanced from the very low rates
to which they had been reduced by the scarcity of money.
The last two days,' prices have been nominally 655. per ton,
f. o. b., for Mix( d Nos. As the makers hive not come into
the market, the quantity of iron that can be offered is but
limited ; and as the deliveries exceed the production, there is
good reason to expect a still farther rise in the prices.—

Reading truly the person with whom he had to deal, our
reporter addressed a note to the Chairman, explaining that
it was out of his power to comply with their request, as by
that time The Sun, containing a portion of this report, would
be issued to the public.
Of course the note was satisfactory to the Committee, and
the speed of The Sun somewhat took their Lordships by sur-
prise.
The CHAIRMAN intimated, that after this explanation, of
course the proceedings of the day could not be witheld from
the public, but it must be understood that this must not be
repeated.
The Committee then adjourned, we believe, until to-
morrow. We were unable, however, to ascertain the result
of their deliberation.
We may remark that there was a marked contrast be-
tween the language of the Noble Chairman and that of the
clerk.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP 111.

THE BANK OF BRITISH NORTH
AMERICA.—(THIS DAY.)
The eleventh annual general meeting of the proprie-
tors of this Bank, was held this day at the Company's
offices, 7, St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate-street Witnin;
Mr. Ferrars in the Chair.
The annual report of the directors up to the 31st of
December last, as read by the Secretary, stated that
there had been a steady progress in the business of the
bank throughout the year 1846; that there had been an
extension of commerce and agriculture in Canada, but
that the directors, considering the present high price of
corn in this country, and the possibility of a reverse
after the coming harvest, had recommended to the local
board, and their servants, in all the departments, the
exercise of caution, with a view to save their proprietary
from any unusual and sudden change which cautionary
measures appeared to be warranted by the present
state of the money market. The financial state of the
bank was reported to be the following:—ln the year
1845, the rest was 36,7331.; in 1846, the nett profit after
deducting all charges, and probable bad debts was
' 74,7241., which together with the rest of last year,
amounted to 111,4571.; this sum reduced by 25,0001. the
dividend paid in July last, and 25,0001. paid in the
month of December, became 61,457/., the amount of the
rest for the present year. After a careful view of all
the affairs of the bank, and having ground for confidence
in a steady increase in their business, the directors in-
tended to recommend the payment of a dividend next
July at the rate of six per cent. The reading of this
report was received with general applause, and especially
the announcement with which it terminated.
The CHAIRMAN said such was the state of the Bank,
and it gave him great pleasure and satisfaction to report
it to the proprietors. Their prospects too were such
that they confidently hoped this prosperous increase
would continue without any diminution, so that they
felt themselves warranted in announcing an increased
dividend next half year. He expected that the pro-
prietors would also justify him in thinking that every
colonial bank, if it occupied the respectable position
which it ought to occupy, should pay the proprietors at
least 6 per cent, with ease. But that they too might
know the grounds on which he anticipated the steady
continuance of their present prosperity, he would
remind them of the progress of the Bank
for the last three or four years. In the year
1843 the profits were 42,9371., the rest 20,529/.;
1844, the profits 49,9101., the rest 30,4391.;
1845, the profits 56,2931., the rest 36,7331.; 1846, the
profits 74,723/, the rest 61,5471.—exhibiting a steady
increase each succeeding year. He was gratified in
being able to state that there had been, up to the present
time, in every branch of their business an increase
rnther than the contrary. On such grounds as these it
was, that the directors had determined to increase the
dividends; but the proprietors might be assured and
prepared for it, that if anything occurred to diminish
their business below what their prospects warranted
them to expect, they would reduce the dividends to a
safe proportion. They had always acted thus. The
only occasion, as they would remember, when they were
required to lower the rate of dividend was, when this
capital was somewhat infringed upon, and they then
suspended the dividends with the happiest results, as
to-day's proceedings testified. They were determined
to continne in the exercise of their duties with proper
caution, for these terms required both care and caution,
and they mould be used by the directors.—(Hear.)
A PROPRIETOR wished to be told what was the capital
of the bank, and wondered why this did not appear in
the accounts of this bank, as stated in those of the Bank
of England. Their capital might be all moonshine.

Mr. CARTER explained that the tax was not leviable
on the profits derived by the colonist shareholder, and
therefore it was a matter of convenience with the bank
to pursue the plan now existing.
The motion was then withdrawn,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack shortly after five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up several
Bills, which were read a first time,
LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of the Glasgow,
Paisley, and Greenock Railway Bill,
Mr. HUME said that he had a question of great
importance to submit to the House with reference
to this railway. He wished to put to the
House whether any company, having obtained
its Act with a view to the benefit of the district
around, it had a right to give away the power of afford-
ing that benefit to the manifest injury of the neighbour
hood. A canal company, called the Aidrossan
canal company had obtained the permission of the
House to make a canal to Paisley, a distance of twelve
or fourteen miles. They subsequently mode
an arrangement with the company whose bill was
before the house, to forbear from carrying passengers if
They would forbear from carrying heavy goods, each
party being bound to fulfil the contract under certain
penalties, and having permission to charge to the
fullest extent allowed by the Act of Parliament.
By this means the community, who were so deeply in-
terested in the subject, were left unprovided with
railway accommodation. By the evidence of Sir
John Maxwell, and others, the Committee where
this matter came before them, rejected the Bill. Imme-
diately after that decision the Canal Company sold their
boats, and kept strictly to the agreement which they
had entered into. He had received a letter from
Paisley, complaining very strongly of the want
of railway accommodation to that town. He
would, therefore, move the suspension of the further
progress of these Bills for ten days, and that they should
be referred to the Railway Commissioners to hear evi
deuce upon the subject, and report to the House upon
the subject of the argument referred to.

ALARMING RAILWAY RIOT.-IYaipea; from the
Fifeshire papers that serious disturbances have taken place,
during the last few days, amolig the labourers on the Edin-
burgh and Northern Railway. On Saturday last, being the
pay day on the Gallatown section, some squabbling ensued
between the Highlaudmen and Irishmen, and two or three
broken heads were the consequence. The police, how-
ever,: by apprehending some half-dozen of the ring-
leaders, succeeded in restoring quietness for the night.
The prisoners were lodged in the lock-up house at Path-
head, and on Tuesday mor.ling last were brought into
Cupar, where two of them were sentenced to forty days',
and two to sixty days' imprisonment each. The case of the
others being of a more serious nature is under investigation.
On Sunday morning, it was evident, from the numbers
hanging about the streets, that there was considerable risk
of a collision between the Highlanders and the Irishmen.
The Irishmen turned out to the number of between sixty and
seventy ; and having sent off a dispatch to the Links ot Kir-
kaldy for a reinforcement from their countrymen residing
there, about three o'clock a body of no fewer than about 500
marched in regular procession, with railing stobs,
sbovels, and pokers, through Kirkaldy, till they joined their
comrades, when the crowd, of one sort or other, might
amount to more than 1,000. Against these, abt ut 200 High-
landers, some of whom were armed with knives and dirks,
marched up, but, finding their inferiority of numbers, re-
treated, anu hence no collision took place. For a time the
town was completely in the possession ut these armed men.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE LE!;ES
RAILwAT.—The directors of this company are now engaged
in establishing a line of telegraphic communication between
this town and Leeds. Already the communication between
Manchester and Rochdale is complete, and the powers of the
telegraph were tested for the first time on Wednesday last.
The first official question asked on this novel machine was
on the morning of that day, about eleven o'clock, and was
addressed to the station-master at Rochdale as follows:
" What time did the second school excursion train pass?"
Answer...." Seven minutes before ten." The importance 01
the electric telegraph needs not to be dwelt upon ; but we
cannot help congratulating the company upon their being
the first introducers of it into Manchester.—Manchester Ad-
vertiser.

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill was
read a third time and passed.
IRISH ELECTIONS.

Earl ST. GERMANS rose, pursuant to notice, to put
a question to the Noble Marquis the Lord President of
the Council, relative to polling votes at Irish elections.
Their Lordships were aware that, under the existing
law, the polling at Irish elections was kept open for five
days, and the system was productive of great incon-
venience both to the electors and the elected. Now ho
wanted to ask the Noble Marquis if it would not be ex-
pedient to introduce a measure to assimilate the law of
Ireland to the law of England ?
The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE entirely agreed with
all that had fallen from the Noble Lord respecting the
desirableness of the shortening the time for polling in
Ireland; bnt there were difficulties in the way of carry-
ing such a measure into execution, that he was afraid
nothing could be done for that purpose during the pre-
sent session. The subject, however, was under the con-
sideration of the Government, but he could not say
when a measure would be brought forward respecting it.
NATIONAL SCHOOLMASTERS.
The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that on Friday
next he would move a resolution to the effect that every

THE BIR,MINGHANI AND OXFORD RAILWAY.
The Earl of CHICHESTER, the chairman of the
Committee appoined to investigate the allegations in
the petitions
presented from some of the share-
holders in this line by Lord Lyndhurst, reported
that the Committee had met to-day (the proceedings will
be found fully reported in another part of The Sun),
and that they had coins to the opinion that, supposing
all the allegations were proved, they could only esta-
blish the fact that oertain parties had bought
up a number of shares in the Birmingham and
Oxford company. It appeared, however to the Com-
mittee, that it was the intention of the Legislature that
the Birmingham ar:d Oxford, and the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Dudley, should be amalga-
mated, and that they should open up competition in
the district which they are prepared to traverse.
But the Committee were unwilling, without further in-
structions from the House, go into further evidence,

Mr. HOPE JOEINSTONE was not personally in-
terested in either of the lines before the House, but
from what he could learn. It appeared that the line
proposed to be made was not of more than one
mile in length, and was proposed solely with
a view to the accommodation of the public. He
did not think that the Bill was an objectionable one, and
he should therefore support the third reading of the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. BABE, which were
inaudible in the gallery,

Mr. B kNKES 4aid that he had been Chairman of the
Committee, and he confessed that the delay sought by
the Mumb,r for Montrose was very desirable. The
agreement was of an intricate nature, the work people
were in the habit of having their work carried to and
from Paisley by the canal, for which they paid
twopence, that means of transit was entirely destroyed,
and they had only now the railway to depend upon, and
by it they were charged a shilling. Now that was a
great hardship. and he would not consent to give them
the power sought, unless that agreement was altered.

Sir F. THESIGER moved " That the petition of the
Masters of the Bench of the Honourable Society of the
Inner Temple be referred to the Committee on the
Thames Conservancy Bill, and that they have leave
to appear and be :heard before the said Committee."
The operation of the Bill would be to int,rrere with the
free access of the frequenteri of the garden, and there-
fore tbey had a right to be heard.
After a few words from Mr. GREENE, which did
not reach the gallery,
The motion was withdrawn.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Sunday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, a youth, aged fourteen, son to Mr.
Hump!try, of No. 10, St. Anne-street, Blackfriars-road, was
climbing up the back of the brougham of Mr. Jansen, of
Brixton-hill, as it was passing near the Horns, at Ken-
nington, when his foot slipped, and his right leg passed
between the spokes of the wheel. The leg was shockingly
crushed before the driver could stop the horse. On being
extricated, the bone protruded through the leg of his
trousers. The boy was taken into Mr. Kennet's surgery,
and, from the serious nature of the injuries, ho is not ex-
pected to survive.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
HOUSE OF LORDS, June 7.
POOR REMOVAL (ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND)
BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this
Bill. He said the present Bill proposed what was but
equitable justice to both countries—England and- Scot
land. The law for the removal of paupers first originated
in the reign of Charles 11., when power was given to
remove paupers out of the parish on which they bad no
claim. In the reign of George 11. the necessity was felt of
a law giving the power to remove the paupers that had
come Irom the Channel Islands, Ireland, and Scotland,
and had become chargeable to England. Laws more
stringent had been enacted from time to time after-
wards, until the enactment of the law as it at present
stood. But there was great difficulty in putting that
law in execution ; for, first, the pauper must be brought
before a court by summons ; if the pauper did not heed
the summons a warrant was issued against him, but
before that could be done the pauper was out of the way,
and the law could not be carried into effect. The Noble
and Learnel Lord read a statement from a private in-
dividurl to the effect that up to the 31st of May last
176,462 Ii ;sti paupers had gone over to Liverpool, and
that previous to January there were already 160,000 in
Liverpool, making in all 236,462.
Lord BROUGHAM was understood to say that he
entirely concurred in the view which the Noble Lord
had taken of the subject.
AttAr a few words from Lord ELLENDOROUGH and the
Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
Earl FITZ WILLIAM said that there was an ambi-
guity in the Bill which he would wish to see removed ;
the Bill did not state where the paupers were to be re-
moved to.
Lord CAMPBELL was understood to say that pro-
vision would be made to meet that case in some clauses
which it was prop,sed to introduce into the Bill.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM thought that considerable diffi-
culty would arise in carrying out the provisions of
the Bill even acceding to the proposed clauses.
Irish paupers would be removed from Liverpool to
Belfast, and upon Belfast would devolve the duty of
forwarding the pauper Into the interior of the country.
It was quite clear, therefore, that the Bill did not treat
with the Irish pauper in the same way that it did with
English paupers.

vision. He deeply regretted that Liverpool bad
so much from the influx of Irish paupers ; looking
at the immense advantages, the great wealth that tow'
had derived from the importation of corn from all Pal"
of the world, for the use of Ireland, he did not think,sfier
all, that the people of Liverpool had so much cause to cob'
plain. This Bill arose out of the clamour andbut pressure
it was
to which the Government were now subjected, u
a Bill which would not have the slightest tendencY to
promote the objects which the parties had in view. _
had been said that the existing law bad become
inoperative. The Bill was inoperative, solely in Craw
quenee of the misconduct and neglect of the mail ac
and it was not right, upon that account, to pa" rsei:

But he contended that the existing Bill bad not alto;
gether failed in carrying out the objects for which it whiiio
passed. He begged their attention to the effect of t 0
Bill on Londonderry. That town and district wag•

The B;sh p of EXETER hoped the Noble An.fer-'O5O
would hale no ollecooo to lay on the table of the la.ni? big
a c..py of the parer or communication to which the PO r
Merquis had alluded. Very likely, when that ere
came before them, it might be necessary for him to pig
p•ise to their Lordships the expediency of consider
o<
the propriety of expressing an opinion upon some par' o
the contents of that paper. It would be found that wo
paper contained a distinct declaration that no pelt,
holding any ecclesiastical office, or performing any eec'of
siastical functions, should be eligible to the offiee,,ng
schoolmaster ; hut nothing was said about Dies,e°l;so
Ministers being excluded frem the same office. It "tot
