COUNTY OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

The nomination of candidate 3 for the honour of re-
presenting the frf•eholders of the Isle of Wight, took
place at the Guildhall, Newport, at eleven o'clock this
day. The friends or Mr. Fleming. the good old Tory
candidate, came in by the Shide road, a goodly muster
of 50/. renters and faggot freeholdels. The friends of
Mr. Simeon formed at the Bugle Inn. The Hon. W. A.
A-Court Holmes proposed Mr. John Simeon; the Hon.
A. Moreton seconded him. William Sloane Stanley,
Esq., of Paulions, near Southampton an over'nman, pro-
posed Thomas Willis Fleming, Esq. ; Mr. E ward Way
seconded this nomination. The show of hands was in
favour of Mr. Simeon. Charles Stokes, Esq. demand d
a poll for Mr. Fleming, which will take place on Mon-
day and Tuesday next. The people of our good town
are anything but in a good humour with each other.
NE WPOR 1' ISLE OF WIGHT, BOROUGH
ELECTION.

RELIGIOUS INToLERANCE —The Tories carried their
men by the " No Popery" cry, many of the Dissenters
supporting them, and others refusing to vote for parties
favourable to the Maynooth grant. This uncharitable
and anti-Christian feeling gave the Tories a majority of
votes, and has caused serious ill-feeling among the Libe-
ral. ; every other consideration was sunk. The d..ar
loaf, so much c. ,mplained of—and free trade, considered so
desirable—were thrown overboard, and the supporter of
protection was placed at the head of the poll by the as-
sistance of free traders. The second act will commence•
on Monday next, by which time, we hope, these mad-
men will have come to their senses.

PERILS OF REPORTERS.—An accident, which might
have terminated fatally, occurred this evening to the
reporter of the Morning Herald, in his anxiety to for-
ward his report of the county notrination this day. He
took a boat to catch the steamers, but in getting on
board he missed his hold, and fell overboard. Fortu-
nately he caught a stray line and was by it hauled on
board the steamer.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—This morning, between the
hours of six and seven, a tire broke out on the premises
of Mr. J. Simmons, Windmill-street, Cornwall-road,
Lambeth. Mr. Simmons carries on the trade of Lucifer
match manufacturer. It appeared that the fire origi-
nated in the workshop, and was occasioned by a work
boy, who accidentally let fall a matchbox upon some
ignitable materials, which instantly took fire, and com-
municated the Limes to the other combustibles in the
room. The West of England engine was almost im-
mediately on the spot, and a plentiful supply of water
having been obtained, the devouring element was pre-
vented from extending its ravages beyond the premises
where it originated, which, together with the property
they contained, were entirely destroyed. Wo under-
stand that Mr. Simmons is not insured.

Mr. Grainger, M.P. for Hull, hus been appointed
to the vacant Recordership of the town.
BRISTOL.—QUICK. WORK.-Mr. Bell a respectable
surgeon of this city, was accidentally drowned on the
11th July last, in the river Avon; his widow was again
married to J. B. Prowse, surgeon, of the same city, in
thirteen days afterwards.—Scinerset County Herald.

BERLIN, JULY 20 —Mr. C. bden, who is now here,
has had the honour of an audience of his Majesty, and
an interview eith the Prince of Prussia. A grand fête
will be given to this illustrious free trader in the gard"6
of Kroll, on Saturday- next. It is not improbable
that the presence of Mr. Cobden at Berlin may hasten
the moment for taking a definite decision in regard to
commercial legislation.
BERLIN, AUGUST I.—Mr. Cobden, on his ratura
from Sans Souci yesterday, whither he had gone b 7
the
express invitation from his Majesty, proceeded to
entertainment which was given by the friends of free
trade in the Mielentz Hal', at which upwards of 200 per.,
sons were present. Several of the civil magistrates, pro-
fessors, and members of the universities were presents
A number of toasts were given in honour of Cobden and
free trade, and appropriate speeches were delivered.
Some of these were in English. After the health of the
burgomaster, Nann vn, was drunk, the company
sepatatedt
at nearly 12 O'Co'clock.FßOM THE ELBE, JULY 24.—A letter from Paris re'
presents the dislike of the King of the Belgians to o°'
vernment affairs, as rather increasing than decreasing•
and speaks of the delicate position in which England
would be plac.d, in regard to France,
in the possi
event of an abdication, when she could not possiblf
avoid paying greater attention than heretofore to the
public post 'ion of the Belgians, as the state of the sing
of the eletherlan.fs, bears a most striking resemblance'
at least in its etf,,cts, to that of King Leopold, is we,
known. In dee Hague, however, the talk is not of air
dication, though reports are in circulation that
ble
a provi'
sional regence w'.ll be immediately established. It
singular that in these reports the name of the Prince 0
Orange has not been mentioned. The name of the
King's bro her only has been brought forsvard,
confirmation with a possible or probable regen,it
If the natural relation of the Prince of Orange shall u:
umegarded, this would appear to us as a very rem
able irregularity.
A special commission has lately been sent from flit;
burg to Vienna tor the purpose of negotiating with -
Austrian Government that the Hamburg letters arriving
in Trieste from India shall be sorted from the other la°
ters in that lee-hour, and sent at once to Hamburg vitst
Vienna and Berlin. Austria, we are informed, wash °
opposed to this wish, but merely expressed the doubt e.st
to whether England would agree to this, as she maks ih
