ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDFORD.o
The nomination tookat the Town-hall,
yesterday, at 11 o'clock ; the Mayor presided.
The hall was densely crowded, and tliere '*ere A
number of elegantly dressed ladies present.
The Town-clerk; the rat • irmng officer in the
absence of the Serjeant-at-_Mace, read the writ,
calling upon the electors to choose a member to
serve in the Commons Houk of Parliament in the
room of the late member, Mr. R. 1). Mangles, who
had accepted office under the Indian Council.
Mr. H. MARSHALL proposed Mr. Onslow, and
Mr. John CooKE, of St. Mary's, seconded the
nomination.
Mr. SAMUEL lIAYDON proposed Mr. Evelyn, and
Mr. T. T. FREAKES seconded the nomination.
Mr. ONSLOW then came forward amid loud
'cheers. He said he was a Liberal from his earliest
days, and he should remain so. (Cheers.) He was
for an extension of the franchise, but with protec-
tion to the voter. (Cheers.) When foreigners
required reform they had a revolution. Whert
they required reform in England they met, agitated,
and by their glorious constitution they got what
they required. He would repeat, he was for tha
extension of the franchise, but not without the
vote by ballot. He asked it for the poor man. In
his opinion they would never have a proper repre-
sentation until they had the vote by ballot. (Cheers
and uproar.)
Mt. EVELYN then came forward amid uproar.
lie did not wish to detain them long. (Cries of
" Onslow for ever !") He regretted there had been
a vacancy in the borough, and he elf,l not see why
the duties of a Member of the Indian Council
should be incompatible with being a member of
Parliament. A good deal had been said About the
Ballot. He had before gone into that 3ia.,,iect at
the Public-hall, and he hoped he had con verted
them all. (Great confusion.) He thong lit the
present Government was better than the last.
(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) With reference to
their foreign policy he thought they had upliekl
the honour of the country. (Hear, hear.) lle was
opposed to Lord Palmerston's policy, and thought
the Minister was answerable to the people. He;
should like to know how far Mr. Onslow meant to go..
(A voice—" To Parliament.") 200 years ago the
House of Commons said the House of Lords was
of no use and ought to be abolished. Would Mr.
Onslow vote for that ? (Tremendous uproar.) The
elccors who voted for the candidate on the other
side thought they would be voting for an " exten-
sion," but he would say it would be an " extinction"
of their rights. If he was returned it would be by
the working men. (Great uproar.) In conclusion,
he begged to thank them for the hearing they had
given him.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.
The Queen,and King, whilst taking a drive on the
previous day, met a priest carrying the sacrament
to a sick person ; they immediately gave up their
carriage to him, and followed the vehicle on foot
to his destination. The recent seizures and pro-
secutions of journals are stated to have pro-
duced a bad impression on the public. The _Espana,
notwithstanding the repeated seizures and heavy
fines to which it is subjected, attacks the Ministry
of O'Donnell with great violence. The Clamor
having given a summary of a sort of heterodox
metaphysical discourse pronounced by an indivi-
dual, under the real or cleverly dissimulated effects
of magnetism, the clerical journals demand the
immediate appointment of a special ecclesiastical
censor without whose permission no article con-
taining religious topics shall be allowed to be pub-
lished. Surprise having been expressed that no
advertisements for the sale of property held in
mortmain had appeared, it is announced that the
value of much of the property has been much
modified since 1854, and has rendered fresh esti-
mates necessary.
The Peninsular Correspondence speaks as follows
of a rapid visit made to Madrid by Lord Cardigan:
—"His Lordship and bride, after staying here three
days, have left for Alicant on their way to Naples.
Although his lordship travelled incog., and did not
pay his respects to the British Ambassador
till the day of his departure, his round jacketed
suite (for hits servants were in the costume- of

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ARTFUL DEFENCE.--JOhlt Miles, a labourer, was
charged bofore Mr. Bingham with stealing a pair of boats
from the shop of Mr. Sparkes, bootmaker, Frith-street,
Soho.
From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that the
prisoner, having tried on a pair of boots, and their not
suiting him, he then selected a pair for bis wife, and
another pair for his daughter, requesting that they might
be put aside, and stating that he would call again. No
sooner had he left the shop than a pair of boots were
missed, and on -the prosecutor going after him, notwith-
standing his denial of having them, the boots, valued at
Bs., were found in his slop.
In his defence, the prisoner said he laid down his slop in
the shop, and supposed he must have taken them up acci-
dentally along with it when he left. He had worked hard
for 28 years. He would admit he was guilty of havinc,
them in his poisession.

Mr. Bingham said that would not do; he was trying to
overreach him. Was he guilty of stealing them ?
The prisoner, after some hesitation, said he was.
Mr. Bingham said ho had from the first no doubt of it,
and the fact of his having worked, as he said, hard for
many years aggravated the case ; for, having worked hard
himself, he must be aware that others had to do the same
to carry on their business. He should commit him for
four months.

A BURGLARY PREVENTED.—John Lee, described as a
dyer, of Woolwich, and John Gigg, the former a ticket •
of-leave man, were charged with being in Berkeley-square
on the previous night with intention of committing a felony.
William Gordon, 326 A, said that about twelve on the
previous night he saw the two prisoners and a third, not in
custody, in Charles-street, Haymarket. He followed them
into Piccadilly, through Sackville-street, into Berkeley-
square. After they had gone round the square twice he
saw Lee go to the door of No, 36 threelimes, while the

others waited about twenty yards off. They then went
from the square into Dover-street, and he there saw two of
the three go up to a door. Seeing a constable he spoke to
him and then went up and stopped them and asked Lee
what he was doing about there ? He made no reply, but
let fall from his side pocket to the ground a " jemmy."
Gigg than ran away, but was stopped about 200 yards off
by a constable. On being taken to the station and searched
on Lee was found a piece of wax taper, some matches, and
a knife. He had heard that morning that Lee was a ticket-
of-leave man.

Lee denied all knowledge of the other prisoner, and said
he never saw him till brought to the station.

Gordon said he was confident about them both.
Mr. Bingham said perhaps Lee would deny having the
crowbar ?
Lee said he knew nothing about it.
Remanded for a week.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter says :—" What has been said of
conflicts between Milan and Vienna is confirmed. ,
Count Giuley, Military Governor of the Lombardo•
Venetian kingdom, has come here to give the ex-
planations required of him. The complaints he
makes in the name of the military authorities
against the administration of the Archduke have
been submitted to a serious examination, and
it is hoped that a decision will be given which
will put an end to all differences. As to the
complaints of the civil administration, it is
stated that they are unfortunately not devoid
of foundation ; in the Customs, in particular, it is
said that arbitrary acts have been committed, and
tile Treasury has suffered. The police administra-
' iion in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is to be
completely reorganised."

THE LAKES IN AUSTRALIA.---Mr. Herschel Bab-
bage, the Australian explorer, asserts that the lakes in Aus-
tralia are naturally salt, and that they are only fresh after
sufficient rain has fallen to give them depth of water. The
lakes in some parts are surrounded by bluffs of elevated
stony table-land, with occasionally a small valley of sand-
hills and scrub running down to them. At one lake there
was a peculiarity which he had noticed elsewhere. The
soil of the western side was quite dry, and it contained a
number of fresh-water shells. The eastern bed was lower
than the western, and was soft and boggy, and quite salt,
the swine At several places being white with salt.

HALF-PAY.

42. The half-pay of the army is granted as a remunera-
tion for past military services, and also as imposing an ob-
ligatieu on the officer to return to his military duties when-
ever called upon ; therefore, any officer not obeying the call
is liable to forfeit his half-pay, if not incapacitated by illness.
43. An officer shall be' entitled to he placed on the half-
pay establishment, if compelled to retire in consequence of
wounds recgived in action.

44. An officer having served more than three years shall
be entitled to be placed upon the half-pay establishment, if
compelled to retire in consequence of ill health, contracted
on duty, as certified by the medical board or medical offi-
cers to whom he has been referred for examination. Unless
the result of such examination be received by our Comman-
der-in-Chief and Secretary of State for War' he will be con-
sidered to have retired upon half-pay for his own conve-
nience.
4.5. An officer having actually done duty in some regi-
ment or corps, or in some military capacity, as a commis-
sioned -officer in the public service, for a period of at least
three years, shall be entitled to be placed on this half-pay
establishment on reduction from full-pay,
46. No officer shall be permitted to retire upon perma-
nent half-pay until after a full-pay service of. 21 years, ex-
cept on account of unfitness for service from wounds re-
ceived in action, or from certified ill-health contracted in
and by military service, or as provided in clause 51, for
officers in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers.
47. No garrison commission or appointment shall give an
officer any claim to half-pay on retlreinent.
48. The residence of the half-pay officer is to be stated
every quarter in his declaration, whether his half-pay be
received by an agent or by himself.
49. No officer on half-pay shall, of right, have a claim
to sell or commute his half-pay ; the perinission shall be
governed by such consideration of the individual ease, AS
may induce our Secretary of State for War and Comman-
der-in-Chief to recommend it.

to half-pay, be desirous of retiring from the army by the
sale of his commission, the followed rules should be ob-
served :-

STATE OF TILADE.

MANCHESTER, ])cc. 10.—'There continues to he a
fair amount of business doing, both in goods and
yarn. The demand for goods is rather more active
than is usually the case at this season of the year,
and the result of the week's business has been to
give a firmer tone to the market generally. There
a good demand for shirtings for India, at the full
rates quoted on Tuesday. Domestics, T cloths,
&c., are also in fair request, and prices are well
sustained. There is still a fair inquiry for light
makes of printing eoths, at previous rates. Yarns
are not much inquired after by purchasers for the
Continent,
.and the home trade also operate
sparingly, but there is more animation for India
and China, and prices are on the whole tolerably

MINES.—The mining market has continued
throughout the week in a state of the greatest activity, and
a larger amount of business has been transacted than we
have noticed for many months past. Tin has advanced
£1 per ton, and copper also expected to rise before Christ-
mas. These circumstances, combined with the disco-
velics that have been made, render it probable that the pre-
sent activity will increase, rather than diminish. Heavy
dividend shares have been largely dealt in—such as West
Seton, at to 300, and a good demand. Basset, 210 to 215;
a dividend of £U per share declared at the two monthly rnee:-
ing. South Caradon, 405 to 410. Providence Mines have
advanced to 65. Wheal Margaret, 60 to 61, and in request.
Great Alfred have advanced from 2.4 to 4, in expectation of
a course of ore in the 200 fm. level. Alfred Consols more
inquired for. Wheal Charlotte, to which we referred last
week as 1 kely to recommence dividends, has advanced from
10'to 17 20, so that this mine has had a rise of £lO,OOO in
a week; on Thursday information was privately received
that a great improvement had taken place, and shares rose.
quickly from 12 to 171 20. Hingston, without anyreported
change, have been duller, and• receded to 3 31.-11 lining

IN RE CLAYPOLE.-JUDGMENT ON CERTIFICATE.

This bankrupt was described as of. Old Broad-street,
merchant, and his Honour now gave judgment on the ques-
tion of certificate, which had been opposed on the ground
that the bankrupt had not kept proper books, and that his
expenses had greatly exceeded his profits His Honour said
that it.might almost be said that he had kept no books, but
the official assignee reported that he had accounted for a
purchase, and the case, therefore, could not be said to come
under the 256th sec. of 12 and 13 Vic., c. 106. The bank-
rupt had traded imprudently.; he would, therefore, suspend
the certificate for 12 months from the 6th of November, and
then to be of the second class.

notice. During the period of the conveyance of these mails -
vie Sweden the rate of postage upon letters addressed ip

the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the
