RR PRESENTATION OF DOLL.--The Right Hon. m.
T. "Lines, President of the Poor-law Board, has announced
that it is not his intention at the next general election to
offer himself as a candidate for the honour of again repre-
senting the borough of Hull in Parliament. Equal surprise
and regret is felt among his constituents, as the return of
Mr. Baines by a large majority, in the event of a contest,
was a matter of perfect certainty. It is therefore hoped thak;
the Light Honourable Gentleman will not persist in his ex-
pressed intention.
The Danish Government has just made A reduction !
of 25 per cent. en the import duties on French wines and
brandy.
