full of the noblest sentiments of our nature, heave formed a
subject of enduring- interest to the historian and t.he painter.
The terms of capitulation were briefly these. n'te officers
and soldiers of the regular army were to pile arms in camp
and march out with their music and colon's, and surren-
der themselves prisoners of war to the Russian army 7 " and
here," exclaimed Mourav;eff to the secretary, " Write,
that in admiration of the noble courage of the army of
Kars the officers are allowed to wear their swords. Pro-
perty is to be respected, and the people to be pro-
tected from pillage and insult." The militia and Bashi-
Bazouks to be allowed to return to their homes togethier with
the non-combatants. A certain -number of Poles and Hun-
garians to be released on parole. On the foll.wing day we
ride into the Russian camp, and are received with the utmost
courtesy by the Russian officers. Gen. Monrovia' asks us to
a plentiful and even luxurious dinner, to which, as yeu may
imagine, we did ample justice. On the following morning
the poor staggering weakened troops, obeying mechanically
the orders of their officers, piled arms, and, forming in order
of battle, marched out to meet—not their conquering, but
their conquered foe. (Applause.) They surrendered them-
selves to an army three times their number, after having held
it in check, and after having on the glorious day of the 29th
September hurled back with ruin and disaster these splendid
columns. Surely never did history record a surrender so

THE REP KRSENTATION OF

SOUTH A M PTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nor. 22.
Mr. Weguelin, the Governor of the Bank of England
this morning issued his address to the erectors, as fol.

lows :
" Gentlemen,—l have been invited to present myself to
notice, and I am informed that a merchant would be an ac-
ceptable candidate to supply the place of your late learned
and accomplished member.
"I do not hesitate to respond to the call. I have watched
for years, with great interest, the rapid rise and well merited
prosperity of Southampton, and I should feel proud, as a
merchant, to be associated in the representation of a port
which modern science and the energy of its citizens have so
closelyiconnected and identified with the commercial interests
of this great city.
"My politics have always been Liberal. lam a Freetrador
- not of yesterday. Now that free trade has no opponent I
am glad that it has always had my active and ardent support.
It will be my anxious desire to pre,erve it with a jealous care,
to extend its action, and to prevent taxation from infringing
upon its principle.
" It will be my aim to advocate that just economy in our
public departments which is consistent with the most com-
plete efficiency.
" I have already taken some part in promoting amendments
of commercial law, and a mercantile experience of many years
may probably have qualified me to take a part upon all legis-
lative questions affecting the trading policy of the empire.
" I am ardently attached to the principles of civil and ret-
glens liberty. I would vote for the admission of the Jews into
Parliament, and thus do away with the last remnant of into-
lerance in the State.
" I am a member of the Church of England, holding no
extreme views, but anxious that the true principles of religion
should prevail, and that the Church should be in charity with
those who differ from her. I conceive that the vexed ques-
tion of Church rates impedes her efficiency and injures her
usefulness, and I shall cordially vote for their total and un-
conditional abolition.
" I am prepared to vote for an inquiry into the state of
religious endowments in Ireland, with a view of placing them
on a more equitable footing.
" The state of the representation is not satisfactory, and I
am prepared to advocate such an extension of the franchise
as shall more nearly represent the present intelligence of the
people, in the exercise of which the ballot will become more
needful, and will therefore receive my hearty support.
" Our foreign policy, as trade continues to expand, becomes
year by year of more vital interest.
" The maintenance of the honour and dignity of this coun-
try I bold to be the surest guarantee of its power and the best
preserver of the peace of the world, and I therefore cordially
adhere to the policy of the present Gevernment, and the re-
cent declaration of Lord Palmerston has my earnest approval.
"The great question of administrative reform will probably
demand the attention of the Legislature. I trust that the expe-
rience which I have had in the great institution over which I
now preside will enable rue to exercise a sound judgment
upon the subject.
" If the principles which I have detailed meet with your
approbation, and you think me qualified for the honourable
position of one of your representatives, I shall be proud to
serve you. I have no object to gain beyond the satisfactior of
a just ambition to place what abilities I may possess, or ex-
perience I may have acquired, at the service of my country,
" I have chiefly confined mysa fto public topics, because I
feelthat I appear beforeyoufor the first time aS a public min. I
can, however, assure you that, in the event of my being re-
turned, I shall deem it to be my especial duty to consider
every question of local interest with the firm determination
to forward to the best of my ability the prosperity of South-
ampton.
" I shall avail myself of the opportunity afforded me by the
adjourned public meeting to present myself to the electors on
Tuesday next.
" I am, gentlemen, your faithful servant.
" Bank of England, Nov. 21." " T. M. WEGUELIN.
The publication of this appeal to the electors of South.
ampton closes, we presume, the admission of any more
candidates, of which there are at present three in the
field, viz.—Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Weguelin, Libe-
rals, and Sir Edward Butler, Canservative. Tow, an
unmistakeable spit exists among the Liberal party there
can now be no doubt, one secti,n putting forward Mr.
James and another the Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land. A few days will decide which candidate has the
best chance of receiving the largest extent of support
from the great body of the Liberal party, the leaders of
one section of which express their belief that, even di-
vided as they are on the choice of a representative, they
can still poll a sufficient number of votes for one candi-
date to insure the defeat of Sir Edward Butler.
For these reasons the excitement increases day by day,
and the contest promises to be a severe and a very bitter
one. It is hoped, however, that some steps will be
taken to ascertain the actual relative strength of the
two Liberal candidates, and to come to an understand-
ing so as to prevent any disunion of the Liberal party
when the day of election really arrives, and which dis-
union affords the only hope of success entertained by the
Conservatives for their candidate.

In consequence of Mr. Weguelin having come down
to the meeting of his friend.; held last night, as reported
by telegraph in the Times of this morning, and it being
understood that he and Sir Edward Butler had com-
menced their canvass, it was considered advisable that
Mr. James should also be on the spot. He was accord-
ingly telegraphed for, and arrived here by the 3 o'clock
train from London this afternoon. Bills were issued, re-
questing his triends to meet at the Royal Hotel at 7
o'clock in the evening, at which hour a large and in•
fluential meeting of the Liberal elect,rs was held at that
place ; Mr. Alderman Dusautoy in the chair. Mr.
James addressed the electors in explanation of the cir-
cumstances which had brought him down here as a can-
didate, and stated that he felt bound in honour not to
commence a canvass until after the adjourned meeting
on Tuesday next. The meeting was also addressed by
several electors, after which those present formed them•
selves into a cAntnittee to conduct Mr. James's election
—with Mr. Alderman Dtpliutoy as chairman.
