DORSET.
The following address has been issued by Lord Ashley:—

TJ THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY

"Gentlemen,—Since I had the honour of addressing you on the
31st of January last, I have been informed that several gentlemen of
the county of Dorset, owners and occupiers of land, have requested
two of their body to come forward and fill the vacancies caused by
the resignation of myself and Mr. Sturt.
They have also engaged to advance very large contributions
towards the support of the candidates.
" Now I am not ashamed to avow that it will be impossible for me
to sustain the expense of such a contest ; and I hasten, therefore, to
relieve my hon. opponents from the necessity of incurring any pecu-
niary responsibilities, by announcing that, although I shall be present
at the nomination, I shall not demand a poll.
" I am, Gentlemen, your very obedient and faithful
AsezaLnky.
" Loudon, Feb. 12, 1846."

on the same footing as those of the most fat,oured nations.
The accompanying memorial being informed of the Russian
Ukase, by which a higher rate of tonnage was imposed on
the ships of other nations, and an increase of 50 per cent. on
the duties upon goods iznpor.ed and exported by the ships
of other nations, excepting those belonging to countries
where the Russian flag is on the same footing
as that of the country itself, immediately caused
the necessary communication to be made to the Russian
Government, in order to free the navigation and commerce of
the Netherlands from the disadvantages that might arise
from these regulations. The Government had at first flat-
tered itself that the exemptions might be incorporated in
a more general commercial conventiol: ; but circumstances
having delayed the conclusion of such p convention, the
Government considers that a longer state Pf uncertainty
might be injurious to our commerce in Russia.
Another message, of the 15th of January, accompanied a
project of law containing 15 chapters of a penal code, book
1., with a long explanatory memorial.

In the case of the Rev. Creswell, which came be-
fore the Arches' Court yesterday, and of which we gave an
outline, the Judge pronounced sentence of suspension for
eighteen months, with costs.
ST. MARYLEDONE BANK FOR SAVING s.—The sixteenth
anneal general meeting of this Institution was held on Thursday.
the 12th of this month, at the ollhe, No. 76, Welbeck-street, Caven-
dish-square ; the Rev. J. 11. Spry, D.D., in the chair. It appeared
from the several reports read to the meeting that the progress of this
bank continues to be of a very favourable description, no less than
2,418 new deposits having been made in the last year ; 16,201 deposit
accounts remained open on the 20th of Novenlber last, of which no
less than 10,628 held balances averaging less than 41. Os. 7d. each.
Upwards of 356,9541. was then invested with the Commissioners for
tl e Reduction of the National Debt. The continued evidence thus
afforded of the strong and growing disposition of the working classesr.t
to provide against the casualties of life, will prove a source of g II
