MILITIA.

The Royal Glamorgan Light Infantry Regiment
of Militia, under the command of Colonel C. J.
Kemeys Tynte, M.P., was inspected at Cardiff, on
the 14th inst , by Colonel Patton, inspecting field
officer of the Bristol district, who expressed himself
much pleased with the steadiness of the men under
arms and the progress they had made in their drill.
The regiment was dismissed, after 21 days' train-
ing, on the 18th inst., and since then a considerable
number of the men have volunteered to the regular
forces.

The West Suffolk Militia, upwards of 500
strong, having undergone their 21 days' training
at Bury St. Edmund's, were reviewed on Monday
in the Cricket-field by General Slade, from
Colchester Camp. The men were put through a
variety of evolutions, at the conclusion of which
the General expressed his satisfaction at their
martial appearance. Colonel Deere then addressed
them, and advised them to enter the regular
service. The men were disbanded on Tuesday,
and since then recruiting has been going on pretty
freely.

Ml. T. BAZLEY AND THE REP RESTY

TATION OF MANCHESTER.

Mr. Thomas Bazley issued the following addreSs
to the electors of Manchester yesterday :
" Gentlemen,—A vacancy in the representation
of this borough having occured by the lamented
death of the late Sir John Potter, M.P., many of
you have done me the honour of requesting me to
offer myself as a candidate to represent you and
the important interests of this mercantile and
manufacturing city in the Commons' House of Par-
liament. Permit me, therefore, to place my faith-
ful services at your disposal, and to assure you
that my duty, as your representative, would impel
me to promote the nation's onward course of peace-
ful industry and prosperity, in the initiation of
which I hope that I have been, not unworthily,
engaged as one of its true and early pioneers ; and
that I should energetically assist in rendering
all the political institutions of this great country
adapted to the demands for improvement and to the
intelligence of the age.
"My opinions are well known to you, and I
come before you as a warm, consistent, and sincere
advocate of civil, commercial, and religious liberty.
By the promotion of education, and of every act of
justice needed for the non-electors and labouring
classes, in obtaining for them an extension of the
suffrage, under the security of the ballot; by the
removal of obstacles which retard the prosperity of
the industry of the country; by developing the
vast resources of the colonies and dependencies of

my
reform
matured conviction that a most comprehensive
in the constitution of the representative
system of the country is indispensable to the re-
moval of the abuses resulting from a wasteful and
costly Government.
"If I could unite the conflicting parties and
interests of this borough in support of these prin-
ciples of progress and reform, which indeed nearly
all now admit to be requisite, it would further
conduce to the success of those liberal opinions
which have often guided the council of the nation,
and reflected honour upon ourselves.
"Only in the spirit of personal and political inde-
pendence, accompanied by the sincere desire to pro-
mote the enduring welfare of this great consti-
tuency and of my country, and to increase the
vigour of the great principles of freedom, for
which I have always contended, cio I presume to
seek your suffrages.
" For many distinctions which I have received
at your hands I now heartily thank yt u ; and
whether you confer upon me the honour of electing
me your representative in Parliament or not, be
assured that I shall cheerfully bow to your deci-
sion, and that either in public or private life, I
shall always, to the extent of my ability, guard
your
liberties and promote your industrial inte-
rests.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
devoted and obedient servant,

cc
Taos. BAZLEY.
cc Hayesleigh, Manchester, Oct. 27, 1858."

The Conservatives are getting up a requisition to
Lord Stanley to offer-himself for Manchester. Mr.
