REPRESENTATION OF HEREFORDSTIIRE.—Lord
Wm. Graham has nearly completed his canvas of the
electors of the county, and yesterday issued a second ad-
dress, thanking them for the numerous promises of support
which he has received. He says—" I shall continue to pay
my respects to as many voters as I can until the day of
election, when I hope to have the high honour of becoming
one of your representatives ; and I shall endeavour, by a
strict discharge of my parliamentary duties, and by pro-
meting the welfare of the agricultural classes, along with
the various other interests of the country, to make some
return for your kindness and confidence." The election
will take place next week.
MAJOR-GENERA L WADDINGTON, C.B.—Another
of the brave comrades of Sir Charles Napier has been
taken from among us. General Waddington entered
the service of the late Hon. East India Company in
1812, at the ago of 16 ; his service thus extended over 46
years, during which he filled the posts of inspecting, execu-
tive, and superintending engineer, and at one "time
commanded the Sappers. In 1846 he was appointed com-
maniling Engineer with the Scinde Field Force, and served
there both prior to and during the conquest. Hewes .at the
great battles of Meeaneo and Hyderabad, and for his gal-
lantry received the Companionship of the Order of the Bath,
with brevet rank as lieutenant-colonel and the Meanee and
Hyderabad medal.
SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yesterday

of the Smithfield Club was held in the committee-room,
under the presidency of Lord Berners, at which a committee
of 16 members was appointed to carry'
out
motion to endeavour to obtain a more

t' s
for future shows. It must be borne in mind, however, thatu
such motion cannot take effect for four years to come, even
should the removal be found desirable, as the terms of the
agreement of the club with Messrs. Boulnois, the proprietors
of the Baker-street Bazaar, do not expire till after the cattle
how of December, 1861. The other business of the club
da7,\
merely of a routine character. The sales during the
were unusually brisk, and more especially among the
prize lnimals very few of which now remain unsold. The
ampler ent galleries were a great source of attraction, morn
especia ly the agricultural produce stands of the Royal
Dublin Society, of Messrs. Gibbs and Co., Messrs. Lawson
of Edinburgh, and Messrs. Starving of Liverpool. Key's
and Burgess's reaping machines and the combined reap-
ing macines and threshing machines also attracted great
attention.
FATAL ACCIDENT--On Tuesday evening a man
na'ned Richard Grace Sage, aged 34, was passing along the
Old Kent-road, and on reaching the canal bridge proceeded
towards the opening of the steep stone steps les.ding down
to the banks of the Grand Surrey Canal, no doubt imagin-
ing that it was a urinal. The unfortunate man, before he
could recover himself, pitched head downwards from the
top to the bottom. His cries attracted the notice of several
persons, who discovered him at the foot of the steps in a
State of insensibility. He was taken to the Bridge House
Tavern, and Mr. Hooper, of Maismore-place, surgeon, at-
tended, but the poor follow expired from injuries to the
skull received in his fall.
From Norway it is stated that Mr. Crowe, the
able and energetic BritiSh consul-general at Christiana, has
been summoned forthwith to proceed to London, that the
Government may have the benefit: of his experience in as-
sisting them in their attempts to remodel the British con-
sular system. They will then also have an opportunity of
learning personally from Mr. Crowe his opinions on the
übject of Schleswig, which his late investigations must
.ave p: epared him to afford.
