TO THE ELECTORS OF MIDDLESEX.

GENTLEMEN,—
THE death of Mr. Hanbury has deprived you of
the services of a highly-esteemed Representative in
the House of Commons.
For the vacancy thus sadly and unexpectedly occasioned
I venture to offer myself as a Candidate.
There are many among you, I flatter myself, to who.n
my name is not unknown as a zealous supporter of the
Liberal cause, and at this important crisis I hold it essen-
tial that any candidate presuming to ask for the suffrages
of such an important and thoroughly Liberal constituency
as that of Middlesex should be able to give trustworthy
assurances of his devotion to the principles which they
have at heart. .

liShould you do mo the honour to return me to Parlia-
ment it would be my first duty to co-operate with those
who desire to effect the passage of an honest and straight-
forward measure of Reform—such a measure as would
prove to the large body of artisans and working men, whom
1 hold to be entitled to the fr►nchise, that the House of
Commons is not afraid of the people, nor averse to the free
extension of political privileges, nor disposed to deny to
the intelligent operatives a share in the government of the
country, to whose burdens they ate called upon to contri-
bute. If the Reform Bill proposed by the Tory Ministry
be not capable of adaptation to such an end, I should not
hesitate to give my adherence to any course which may
seem the most calculated to attain the desired object.
Respect to the memory of your late Representative will
not allow me for the next few days to take any further
steps to bring myself before the Electors, but 1 shall take
the earliest possible opportunity of meeting you in public
and giving you a detailed, and 1 trust satisfactory, account
of my views upon all the important political topics of the
day.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
HENRY D. LABOUCHERE.

AQUATICS.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGIIT-OARED RACE.
ruTNEY.—Tifis Day.
Although the weather at early morn was
gratified at
l ne h u
lowering there were a prat many crack oarsmen of
different clubs and others assembled at Putney, and those
who had nut paid a previous visit were u
seeing both crows out, which was hardly expected.
The Cambridge gentlemen launched their boat from the
Leander boat-house at about a quarter to 12. They went
out, to try a new boat, having brought more than one
with them from Cambridge. They commenced with a
quickened mere paddle, but it was soon into a good row,
,Lad their style, with one or two
exceptions, was easy,
clean, and therefore good. It is high
time, however, that
hey made their selection of the boat thay are to run in,
s the men are
not improved • being .
by shifted about in this

way.

The Oxonians launched their boat soon after from the
London Rowing
Club boat-house and started upon the
side from the aqueduct, rowing a fiuo long pull, with a
heavy swing, easily. They laid down to their work more
than we have hitherto observed, and there was altogether
a peculiarity of style about it only to be seen in Oxford
rowing. It was not so lofty as it has been, but more busi-
nesE:-like, and well-calculated to keep up tLe favoritism
that six successive conquests have earned. They went to
work this morning at 32 strokes per minute, but increased
it a littl9 as they went up.

THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. GLADSTONE asked the Chancellor of the Es:-
chequer whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to make any alteration in the arrangement or the
provisions of the bill for amending the representation of
the people before inviting the house to discuss the
clauses in .committee; and whether he was willing
to lay upon the table the reports or other documents from
which be quoted on Tuesday the opinions of the present
and late Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue respect-
ing the proposed taxing franchise ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
not his intention to lay upon the table communications
which had been made to him, and from which he had freely
read during the introduction of the bill to amend the re-
presentation of the people, because they were looked upon,
to a certain extent, in the nature of private communica-
tions. With respect to the more important part of the
question, it was his intention to place a notice on the paper
that evening to move the omission of clause 7, which
gave the dual vote. All the other controverted points he
thought would meet with the best solution in committee.

Her Majesty's Government would enter the committee
with the most earnest desire of bringing the question of
Parliamentary Reform to a speedy settlement. (Hear,
hear, and cheers.)

Viscount CRANBORNE begged to ask the noble lord
tie member for King's Lynn to answer a question. He
had stated that the Government intended to introduce a
bill on the subject, on which the Government would stand
or fall. He should like to know if he would state what
were the provisions of that bill. (Hear, and laughter.)
Lord STANLEY said it was rather a matter for argu-
ment and discussion than an answer to a question. (Hear,
hear.) When the subject was resumed in debate he should
be quite ready to state his views on the matter. (Loud
laughter.)
THE SALE OF THE GRAND DUCHY OF
L UXEMBURG.

Mr. SANDFORD asked whether the Government had
any information they could communicato to the houso re-;
lative to the statement that was current on this subject? •
Lord STANLEY said ho hold in his hand the official
journal of the_Government of Holland, in which it contra-
dicted most positively that a cession of the Grand Duch)
of Luxemburg had taken place. The Governments of.
Franco and Holland might have been in communication
with a view to a possible transfer, but what the result of
those communications wore he was not in a position to
state.

STOURBRIDGE.

The half-yearly meeting of the company was held
at Stourbridge, on Friday ; Mr. W. Akroyd, chair-
man.

The report stated that the extension line would
be opened for passenger and goods traffic on the Ist
of April, which give direct through communication
between Stourbridge and Birmingham by trains

street Station of the London and North-Western
Railway. The directors recommend that the mini-
mum dividend, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum,

of Trade officer bad made the usual inspection, and
expressed himself satisfied with the whole of the
works, and gave a certificate for opening. The
capital account showed that £138,615 had been re-
ceived and expended, with theexception of £5O. On
the Stourbridge Railway extension line the capital
expended was £210,680, leaving a balance in hand
of £54.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the
completion of the extension and the opening of a

of the report, which was carried, the dividend
therein recommended was approved, and the retir-
ing directors and auditor were re-elected.

fullest satisfaction with the general result of the

gulatinethe sale of fermented and distilled liquors

" Whereas the restrictions on the sale in England
and Wales of fermented and distilled liquors during
certain hours on the Lord's day and certain other
days imposed by an act of the session of the

present Majesty, chapter 118, intituled ' An act to
repeal the act of the 17th and 18th years of the
reign of her present Majesty for further regulating
the sale of beer and other liquors on the Lord's-
day, and to substitute other provisions in lieu
thereof,' have been attended with great benefits,
and these benefits would be increased by au exten-
sion of the said act : Be it enacted by the Queen's
most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and
consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and
commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by authority of the same, as follows : •,
" 1. The provisions of the recited act imposing
in England and Wales restrictions on the opening
of houses and other places fur the sale
of fermented and distilled liquors at certain
hours on Sunday, Christmas-day, Good Friday,
and on any day appointed for a public fast

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT BY A PUBLICAN.—Mr. Alfred
Beard, landlord of the Red Lion publichouso, Parker-
street, Drury-lane, was charged with being drunk, assault-
ing two gentlemen in Southampton-row, and damaging
their hats.

Mr. Steggell, of Southampton street, Bloomsbury, stated
that after being at the Royalty Theatre last night with a
friend, at present staying with him, they were passing
through Southampton-row on their way home, between
twelve and ono o'clock in the morning, when tney were
accosted by two females, witlrwhoin they remained speak-
ing for a few minutes. The defendant and two others
came u!) and interfered, the defendant saying-, " I have as
good a right to speak to her as you." Witness said,
" What do you mean ?" Defendant knocked his hat off,
and, when he stooped to pick it up, struck him in the
face, giving him a black eye. Witness went for a police-
man, to whom he gave the defendant in charge.
Mr. Dean, the friend alluded to by the last witness, cor-
o-borated his evidence, and ad•led that while Mr. Steggell
was absent the defendant and his two companions as-
saulted him. Defendant knocked his hat off and gave him
a black eye. One of the party knocked him down. When
ho recovered himself he missed 12s. from his pockets.
The prisoner said it would not have occurred but that
he was the worse for liquor, and did not know what he
was doing. no knew the two men who were with him,
and could produce them, not immediately but in a few
days.

Mr. Flower said it was very hard that gentlemen could
not pass along the streets at night without being annoyed
by persons who invariably declared on the following
morning that they would not have behaved so but that
they were drunk. That, however, was, as defendant and
such persons must be taught, no answer or excuse. He
should fine the prisoner £5 for each assault, and the value
12s. for the:damage to each hat, making in all, £ll 65., or
one month's imprisonment for each assault.
The fines were paid.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION.

--41,-

FAVERSHAM, Monday Evening.

This afternoon, shortly before three o'clock, an
explosion -of a dreadful character occurred at the
gunpowder works of Messrs. Hall and Son, situate
at Faversham, by which four men lost their lives
anti another was very severely injured. The explo-
sion took place in a building called the " mixing
house," in which powder undergoes almost the last
process. At the time of the said occurrence there
were five men engaged within the building, and all
but one of these were instantly killed. The report
of the explosion was not very loud, but the power of
the explosion was such as to render the building
almost in an instant a mass of ruin, and under the
debris the five men were buried. As soon as the
explosion occurred all hands on the works rushed to
the spot to render assistance, and the first thing to
which their attention was directed was that of extri-
cating the bodies of the unfortunate men from under
the black and in some places burning ruins. The
first one discovered was that of Louis Ili; listed, a
man between 50 and GO years of age, who was found
to be living, but frightfully burned and injured.
He was immediately removed to his home at Oars,
and hopes are entertained of his recovery. Next the
workmen caine to the bodies of two men, viz., Mark
Coe and George Love, whom they found under a
large quantity of debris. Both of them were dead,
and presented a frightful spectacle, their clothes
having been literally burned from off them, and
their bodies a black and charred mass. After the
lapse of about half an hour another body, that of
Henry Adey, and a few minutes subsequently another,
that of George Back, were discovered, both corpses,
and both terribly disfigured. Mark Coe was about
35 years of age, a married man, and leaves a widow
and family. He resided at the Brenta, near Faver-
sham. George Love, of Luddenham, was about the
same age, also married, and leaves a widow and two
children ; Henry Adey was a single man, about 25
years of age, and resided at Ospringe ; George Back
was a youth of 18, living at Oarc. As soon as the
trews of the explosion reached this town two medi-
cal men, Mr. \V. N. Spong and Mr. Quinton (assis-
tant to Dr. Spyers), proceeded to the scene of the
disaster, the first to arrive being Mr. Spong, who
rendered what assistance they could. Subsequently
another surgeon, Mr. Garraway, also arrived. As
speedily as possible three engines were brought into
play oa the burning timber, one of which belonged
to the works, and t:►e other two were those of the
Kent and Norwich offices, stationed at Faversham.
The bodies of the unfortunate deceased now await
an inquest, which will probably be opened to-morrow.

BERWICKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Greenlaw on
Thursday—Sir 11. 11. Campbell in the chair.
'The report stated that the expenditure of capital
had been £150,600. The traffic receipts during the
half-year showed an increase of £263, and the bal-
ance was £645, which, added to former balances,
made a disposable sum of £1,684, out of which it was
proposed to pay a dividend of 1 per cent. per annum,
leaving a balance of £4Bl for the next account.
'The CHAIRMAN said the company was in a better
position than last year, having a larger balance,
.while paying the same dividend. He had, however,
expected a more rapid increase of traffic, and he be-
lieved it was.owing in some degree to the want of
sufficient rolling stock, but when the North British
Company was in a better position the Berwickshire
line would also improve.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the re-
tiring directors and auditors were re-elected.

WORCESTER, BROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Worcester on Friday—Mr J. W. Lea in the chair.

The report stated that owing to difficulties expe-
rienced by the contractor the directors were obliged
to take the chief management of the work them-
selves, and were in posoession of the plant and mate-
rials, but in consequence of the inclemency of the
weather the works had not progressed. There were
6i miles of line nearly ready, and when completed
the Great Western Company were to run trains on
it. The parliamentary deposit had been released, and
the sullicribed capital was nearly exhausted, but the
borrowing Powers were untouched. Thc directors
had appealed to the landowners on the line to ren-
der assistance, and two ladies had sold their laud,
ext,,mling nearly two miles along the line between
Bromyard and Leominster, and taken payment in
paid up shares.
The CHAIRMAN said that when the line was com-
pleted to Bro myard the Great Western Company were
under agreement to work it and pay certain charges,
including the interest on debentures, before even
they took their amount for working.
The report was adopted, the retiring directors
were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the direc-
tors for their services concluded the proceedings,

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN-
SHIRE.
The total expenses of this company's railways and

canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist
of January to the 24th of March, 1867, amounted
to £121,533, as against £117,296 for the corres-
ponding period of 1866. The proportion of the
South Junction receipts accruing to this company
from the Ist of January to the 24th of March
amounted to £8,078, as against £8,855 for the cor-
responding period of 1866, and the expenses to
£4,701, as against £5,315.

THE DEATH OF TWO BOYS BY BE.rNG

BURIED ALIVE.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner,
held an inquiry at the Crown and Sceptre, Deptford,
into the circumstances attending the death of Wm.
Wright, aged 14, and Wm. Knowles Marks, aged
14, who lost their lives, as already reported, through
the falling of a large mass of earth, on a line lately
in cpur,e of formation through Lewisham, and be-
longing to the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way Company.
It appeared that the cutting at the spot where the
accident occurred is between 30 and 40 feet in
depth, and that the land where the cutting had
stopped is perfectly straight. Since the cessation
of the railway works boys have been in the habit
of frequenting the spot, and on Saturday afternoon
last the deceased and others went there to dig, as
they described it, " a cave." This had been going
on for four or five weeks, and a sufficient aperture
had been made to admit of three lads entering and
being hidden from view. The deceased had entered
the cave, and all of a sudden the earth, weighing
several tons, fell. The boys who were looking on
gave an alarm, and some men working in an ad-
jotning market garden were sent to the spot with
spades. One lad, named Eustace, was found only
partially covered, and he was dragged out with little
or no injury. It was 20 minutes before the first
body, that of Wright, was got out, and a long time
after before that of Marks was recovered, life in
both instances being extinct.
eyairntgh of the cave was known to
that although on the pre-

etk they had no idea of danger fromie sa
the earth falling in, and it was their intention to go
right through the portion of land, and had pene-
trated a distance of about four feet, and the cutting
was a depth of about three feet.
The Coroner said that, the cutting being fenced
in, any person going upon the line of railway be-
came a trespasser, and the railway company could
not be held responsible in not preventing the de-
ceased and others from assembling there.
The Jury then returned a verdict of " Accidental
death from a fall of earth," in each case.
At the conclusion of the inquiry the parents of
the boys were called before the jury, and, in
answer to the Coroner, said they were not aware
of their boys going to the spot in question and being
engaged, as the Coroner observed, for weeks in
" digging their own graves."

The Captives in Abyssinia.

Letters have been received from Abyssinia up to
20th of April, nearly three weeks later than our
last intelligence. The captives were well, but no
change has been made in their position. They had
heard of the arrival of Mr. Flad at Matemma,
where he was waiting for an escort from Theodorus
to enable him to travel to the royal camp ; but it
was thought very probable that in the actual state
of the country the King would be unable to send
him one. It is rumoured that Lord Stanley has
despatched an ultimatum to Theodorus, to the effect
that he will forfeit the friendship of England, and
will, moreover, be denied the presents unless lie
liberates the captives in three months, which will
expire about the middle of August. It is not
thought probable that this by no means formidable
threat will have any influence on his Abyssinian
Majesty, although his position appears to be getting
more and more precarious. The rebels have lately
taken Mariam, only seven miles to the south of
Debra Tabor, where he himself resides; yet he has
not attempted to march against them. The general
idea is that he will hold out to the last at Debra
Tabor, where his 77 concubines are lodged. The
German workmen still employed by him are at
Gaffat, close by, making implements of war 'and
strong drink for his Majesty. It is hoped that a
crisis may arrive which will set the captives at liberty
before the Emperor is able to fortify himself in the
Amba Magdala, where he would be able to defy any
attack from the rebels, and could only be dislodged
by an European force. On the other hand, the
captives themselves seem to dread the supremacy of
the rebels who arc said to be turning the country
iLto a pandemonium. The artisans who were sent
out for the service of Theodorus have been brought
away from Massowah, and left Aden for England
on the 11th ult. The presents designed for the
King are still at Massowah,
reply to the ultimatum.—A " aawaitiugll Mall Gazette. his Majesty's
