REPRESENTATION OF HEREFORDSHIRE.—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 It's 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-
moting 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-GENERAL WADDINGTON, C.B.—Another
of the brave comrades of Sir Charles Napier has been
tyken from among us. General Waddington entered
the service of the late Hon. East India Company in
1812, at the age of 16 ; his service thus extended over 46
years, during which he filled the posts of inspecting, execu-
tive, and superintending engineer, and at ono time
commanded the Sappers. In 1840 he was appointed com-
manding Engineer with the Scinde Field Force, and served
there both prior to and during the conquest. He was at the
great battles of Meeanee and Hyderabad, and for his gal-
lantry received the Companionship of the Order of the Bath,
with brevet rank as lieutenant-colonel and the Moanee and
Hyderabad medal.
SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yesterday
was the third day of the cattle show, and although per-
haps, not quite so fully attended as on Wednesday, still
the number of visitors more than equalled those of the first
day of the exhibition. At 1 o'clock the adjourned meeting
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 Mr. Giblett'a
motion to endeavour to obtain a more commodious building
for future shows. It must be borne in mind, however, that
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
shove of December, 1861. The other business of the club
was inerely of a routine character. Tho sales during the
day were unusually brisk, and more especially among the
prize animals, very few of which now remain unsold. The
implenjent galleries were a great source of attraction, more
especidly 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 machines and threshing machines also attracted great

attention.
FATAL ACCIDENT—On Tuesday evening a man
named 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 leading 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 fellow expired from injuries to the
skull received in his fall.
FATAL FIRE IN OLD-STREET.—Yesterday, Mr.
W. Baker, the coroner for the eastern division of Middle-
sex, opened an inquest at the Green Gate Tavern, City-
road, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death
of Mrs. Jane Pond, aged 31, and her daughter Lizzy, aged
8, who perished in the fire that took place in Old-street,
St. Luke's, on Monday morning last. After several wit-
nesses had been examined, the jury consulted for some time
and then returned a verdict to the effect that the two de-
ceased persons met their deaths from the combined effects
of suffocation and burning, owing to a fire breaking out on
Dec. 6, but how the said fire was caused there was not suf-
ficient legal evidence to prove. At the close of the inquiry
the husband of the deceased found the sum of £23 in her
stays.
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
subject of Schleswig, which his late investigations must
I have prepared him to afford.
