WEST RIDING- ELECTION.

Mr. Denison and Sir Culling Eardley Eardley are
prosecuting their canvass of the West Riding of York-
shire. The former was yesterday at Barnsley, the later
at Doncaster.

. ---
A meeting of electors was to be held at Leeds last
night, to determine whether the united support of the li-
beral party should be given to Sir Culling Eardley or to
Mr. J. A. Roebuck, the friends of the latter considering
that he has been unhandsomely treated in being brought
to Leeds to oppose Mr. Fazwilliam, and then sacri-
ficed to Sir Culling when no other competitor was in the
field.

THE LEAGUE PARTY IN MANCHESTER.—A meet-
ing of free traders in Manchester was held at the
League-rooms on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of
promoting Sir Culling Eardley's election for the West
Riding.. Mr. G. Wilson, chairman of the ex-League,
was called to the chair. A discussion of some length
occurred, in which Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. James
Kershaw, and`other gentlemen, took part, and at
the close the following resolutions were unanimously
passed :—" That, inasmuch as Sir Culling Eardley
Eardley has been nominated as a candidate for the re-
presentation of the West Riding by the delegates assem-
bled at Normanton on Wednesday last, and in his ad-
dress and speeches has avowed himself in favour of free
trade, retrenchment of the public expenditure, Parlia-
mentary reform, and opposed to the extension of the
principles of religious endowments, this meeting calls
upon the Liberal electors of the West Riding in Lanca-
shire to give their hearty support to their friends in
Yorkshire, and to promote by all proper means the re-
turn of Sir Culling E. Eardley to Parliament. That the
gentlemen present (with power to add to their number)
form themselves into a committee for the purpose of car-
rying out the foregoing resolutions." It is understood
that active measures will be immediately taken in Man-
chester and Lancashire generally by the free trade or
Liberal party to promote and secure Sir Culling Eard-
ley's election.

THE VISHOP OF LONDON AND THE HON. AND REV.
BAPTIST NOEL.—Last night, at the usual Wednesday
evening's service at St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row,
where Mr. , Noel has officiated for the last twenty-six
years, the Rev. Gentleman said—" My dear Christian
brethren, many of you have heard that, as the result of
opinions deliberately formed, which I know not how to
alter, and the force of conviction, which I am not per-
mitted to resist, I have been obliged to announce my
intention of leaving this congregation, where I have
ministered for so long a period with comfort and satis-
faction to myself, if not with profit to others. Since I
addressed you last I :have seen my Diocesan, and he
considers it to be his duty—an opinion from which I do
not dissent—to determine that I shall not remain widlh
you beyond next Sabbath. This, therefore, is the last
Wednesday evening on which I shall have the privilege
of addressing you." His " Reasons for Seceding from
the Church of England" were yesterday put into the
hands of the; printer, and it is expected the work,
which will form a thick octavo volume, will be ready for
publication in about three weeks.

THE BRITISH Musnum.—Yesterday a splendid
specimen of mosaic pavement was placed in the national
collection at the British Museum, in the passage leading
to the Gallery of Xanthian Antiquities. The specimen
is about eight feet square, and was found in the ruins of
Carthage, on the spot assigned as the site of the Temple
of Neptune, and was purchased by the trustees of the
Museum. n reaching this country, it was found broken
in innumerable pieces; but under the skilful hand of Sir
R. Westruacott, it has been restored. It represents the
head of a sea god, with flowing beard, and feet of the
sea horse.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Yesterday a
number of houses situate in Tower-street and Lumber-
court, Seven Dials, were being pulled down for the pro-
posed impfovements in that neighbourhood, and to form
the new street from the point of junction of Oxford-
street, Tottenham-court-road, and Crown-street, to the
end of St. Martin's-lane, next Trafalgar-square. On
Thursday the widening of Cannon-street, from Dowgate-
hill to King William-street, London-bridge, commences.
All the houses on the east side thereof are to be pulled
down, and rebuilt back twenty feet ; as also the forma-
-1 tion of the new thoroughfare froin the south end of

Walbrook to Southwark-bridge. A new street isal;o
about to be formed from the junction of St. Martin's-
lane and Long-acre, through Rose-street and New-
street, into Covent-garden and the Strand. The Duke
of Bedford contributes 3,0001. towards the cost of this
improvement. New streets are to be opened from Little
to Great Tower-hill, and from Tower-hill to Fenchurcli-
street. Ball-alley, Lombard-street, is to be pulled down
and widened. Thoroughfares are also to be opened
from the East India Dock-road, at Limehouse, to the
north entrance ; from St. John's church, Bethnal-green,
and the junction of the Cambridge-heath and Hackney
roads, to the west entrance of Victoria-park. The last
remaining portion of the notorious St. Giles's Rookery,
called Church-lane, is to be demolished forthwith ; and
a new street, called Ntigee-street, opened from opposite
St. Giles's church to New Oxford-street. A thorough-
fare is to be opened from the south end of Cha':ing-
cross suspension-bridge, passing through Belv edere-
road, across Manners-street, to the York-road station of
the South-Western Railway.
PRESENTATION.-On Friday evening Sergeant
John Coghill, of the Royal Mid-Lothian Yeomanry- Ca-
valry, and Colour-Sergeant John Tinsley, of the Adju-
tant-General's-office, were entertained at supper in Mr.
M'Callum's tavern, Hunter-square, by the eleventh divi-
sion of special constables, to whom they had proved of
service in drilling them, on the recent occasion when
they were embodied for the protection of the public
peace. Captain Moffat afterwards presented each of the
sergeants with a gold chain, as a mark of the apprecia-
tion by the constables for the important , services they
had rendered.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
MONUMENT TO THE LAST SCOTTISH MARTYR.—
An elegant marble monument, with a suitable inscrip-
tion, having been lately erected by the her itors and
parishioners, in the church of Lunan, to the memory of
Walter Mill, the last Scottish martyr, who, under
Popery, suffered for his adherance to he Protestant
faith, Mr. Barclay, the respected minister of the
parish, preached an appropriate sermon onaidona
justthe
Sabbath following (Nov. 12) from Hebrews xi., 4--
"He being dead, yet speaketh." Having
tribute of respect and gratitude to the
memoryp of the
martyrs of old, and having pointed out in an impressive
manner the obligations we lie under to the early Re-
rormere, Mr. Barclay directed the attention of his hearers
to a full and interesting account of Walter Mill, who, in
the days of other years, was so intimately connected
with the parish of Lunan and its neighbourhood, and
who " being dead, 3et speaketh:'—Edinburgh Evening
Post.

STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—A boy named Edwin
Hayball, of Chard parish, one day last week fell into a
millpond, and was supposed to be drowned; he was,
however, taken out of the water and the body carried
home. Everybody believed the child dead except his
mother, whose affliction was very great. She took him
in her arms and held him before the fire. -After nearly
half an hour the child showed symptoms of returning
consciousness, upon which some change in the position
of the body took place, when it was discovered that the
child's foot had been in the fire and was dreadfully burnt.
A surgeon having been called in did what was necessary,
and the child was getting on very well. About three
days after the mother placed him before the fire for a
moment whilst she went into the garden, and on her re-
turn she was horror-struck to find her child burnt almost
to a cinder. It is a singular coincidence that a girl, the
cousin of the above-named Edwin Hayball, a short time
since fell into the fire, and one of her breasts was almost
entirely consumed; in her agony she ran to the millpond,
to allay the pain by bathing the breast with cold waiver,
when she fell in and was drowned. An inquest has )'..,een
held on Edwin Hayball, and a verdict of " Accifiental
Death" returned.—Devon Chronicle.
INTERMIXTURE GP BLOOD.—In Ins* the people
are a mixture of Lowland Scotch from tl;(3 west, with a
smaller proportion of English. The speech is of the
Scottish dialect of English, and the countenance is more
of the Scotch•type. The peeple are hardworking and
thrifty, so that Ulster, th
c`u'ie with the poorest soil and
coldest climate, is that
'province of Ireland where the
people are best provieied, and in no respect inferior to
the northern parts
of England. Along the east coast
and in the seapor
Irish, the Eng)lish settlers having been mostly from
'--
1
Essex. rh
also of rs the race is a mixture of English and
t. 'nigher and middle classes of Ireland are
, a mixed race. The mixed races are remarkable
for 'al eauty of form, for 'native wit, for great readiness
'hnd brilliant talent, not for steadiness ner soundness.
The mixed English and Irish are among the cleverest
and handsomest 1
people in the world.— Wyld's Popular
Atlas.
