Mr. George Wilbraham, jun , Mr. Welshy, Mr.
Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. P. S. Humberston, are
mentioned as probable candidates for Chester next elec-
tion, in the room of \V. 0. Stanley, who will seek to re-
present the Anglesea Burghs.
REPRESENTATION OF COLCHESTER.—Three new can•
didates are already in the field for the representation of
Colchester, in anticipation of an approaching vacancy—
Mr. A. Hamilton, of Romford (a barrister on the Home
Circuit) ; Mr. J. G. Rebow, of Wivenhoe-park ; and
Mr. T. G. Miller, of Upper Tooting. Mr. 'lama-
ton and Mr. Miller are Conservatives, while Mr. Rebow
describes his opinions as " constitutionally liberal." All
three candidates declare their intentioa to oppose the
endowment of Maynootb.
A BOLD ROBBERY AT BRIGHTON.—Yesterday a party
of three men, staying at the Claremont Hotel, Bognor,
succeeded in obtaining possession of a cask-box belonging
to the propriet,r, and containing in bills, notes, and
gold, about 2001. They were traced to London, and by
means of the telegraph at Chichester they were all ap-
prehended. A hearing of the case will take place to-
day (Thursday) at the County Magistrates' office. The
telegraph communication with the metropolis has only
been effected within the last few days.—Brighton Gazete.
GRAND MUSICAL FETE.—We perceive it is the inten-
tion of the directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens to give
a musical performance of more than usual attraction on
Saturday next, when the visitors will have an oppor-
tunity of hearing Madame Alboni, Madame Gassier, and
Herr Formes, three artistes possessing the most extra-
ordinary vocal powers of any singers at present before
the public. The occasion will derive additional interest
from the fact that it will probably be the last time the
admirers of Madame Gassier will be enabled to hear her
melodious notes during the present season.
At a meeting of the Royal Santiago Mining Company,
held yesterday, a call of 11. per share was made, to pro-
secute the undertaking. It is stated that the miners
sent out from this country have proved inefficient through
having contracted habits of intemperance, and that na-
tive labour is becoming scarce and expensive. Under
these circumstances it is proposed to int.• Wee a limited
number of Chinese„ and to provide for the necessary
engagements and other expenditure further means are
required. the latest advices are more encouraging, and
the management hope that remunerative discoveries may
yet be made.
ONE WHO HAS WHISTLED AT TILE PLOUGH.—We are
happy to learn that that excellent nobleman, Lord Kin-
naird, has opened a subscription list lior Mr. Somerville,
to enable him, with his family, to proceed to Australia,
where there is no doubt he will find a wider field for his
useful literary labours than he can at home. Mr.
Somerville's services in the cause of the working classes
in perilous times were attended with the most salutary
effects ; whilst the parties who succes 4folly struggled to
emancipate commerce had not a more able, zealous, and
indefatigable agent. We understand that his pecuniary
distress arises from having had transactions as an author
with persons whose circumstances prevented their being
able to carry out their engagements with bins. We are
informed that tMessrs. Ransom, BouveTie, and Co., of
Pall-mall, are the bankers to whom subs ,criptions are to
be forwarded. Lord Kinnaird heads tb e list' with 101.
