YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING.)

At the Liberal meeting on Monday, in Bradford,
Sir John Ramsden and Afr. F. Crossley declared
their adhesion to Lord John Russell's outlined
Reform Bill.

Sir CHARLES WOOD (who had arrived only a few
minutes before from London) said,—l address you
as a brother elector of the West Riding—l address
those who are my brother electors, those whom I
hope will be so soon, and those also, whether elec-
tors or not, who cannot but take an interest in this
district, of which we are all inhabitants. I am
anxious to say a word now, as I may not be able in
other parts of the riding to take my part in support
of the two candidates. lam anxious, moreover, as
a landlowner, to address you as a manufacturing
body, and tell you that we are as anxious as you
are that both our candidates should be returned, to
Parliament. I tell you that in one respect lam
sorry, because a better friend and colleague than
Mr. Crossley man could not have. The Government
brought in a bill misnamed—miscalled a Reform
Bill; the House of Commons decided. against
that bill, and the Government have appealed to
the country. Three candidates are before you
for the riding—one voted with the Government

for the bill, and two voted against it as a sham
and a delusion. Which of the men will the electors
of the West Riding return to Parliament ? I can-
not doubt for one moment. But I wish also to
say that I, a landowner, in conjunction with the
whole body of the Whig landed proprietors of the
riding, am anxious to see a manufacturer as a
colleague of Sir john Ramsden. We are anxious
to prove that our prosperity depends on you; that
agriculture, trade, and commerce are indisso-
lubly bound up together. (Cheers.) People deny
that sometimes ; but do you send a proof from the
largest constituency of Great Britain that a land-
owner and a manufacturer are sent together to re-
present the joint interests of the riding—interests
which are those also of the whole empire.
Mr. STANSFIELD (one of the candidates for Hali-
fax) also addressed the meeting.
The Leeds Mercury expresses surprise to hear
that it has been stated by gentlemen of the Con-
servative party that Earl Fitzwilliam would give
his support at the coming election to Mr. James
Stuart Wortley, and says it has the best authority
for stating that this is entireiy false, and that the
noble earl, when applied to, expressly declined to
support Mr. Wortley.
London, England, 1859-04-21

DEVONPORT.

The present members, Sir E. Perry and Mr.
Wilson, addressed a meeting of the electors in the
Town-hall on Monday ; and on Tuesday Messrs.
Peel and Ferrand addressed the electors. Mr.
Peel's maiden speech was favourably received. Mr.
Ferrand's energetic address elicited great applause,
and a recapitulation of his successful efforts in Par-
liament to serve the working classes in relation to
the Poor-law Bill, the Factory Bill, &c., was
greeted most warmly by the dockyard artisans,
many of whom were present.

ESSEX (NORTH.)
Lieut.-Col. Brise, the third Conservative candi
date, has withdrawn from the contest in which he
threatened to engage with Mr. Beresford, and as no
Liberal candidate is in the field, the right hon. gen-
tleman is expected to be now returned without
opposition, in conjunction with Mr. Du Cane.

EXETER.

Rumours were afloat in this city for several days
that a second Conservative candidate would come
forward, and the names of several gentlemen were
mentioned ; but it is now generally believed that
Mr. R. S. Gard (Conservative) and Mr. E. Divett
(Liberal), the present members, will be returned
N't ithout opposition.
•

FLNSBURY.
In consequence of the riotous proceedings which
have distinguished nearly every public meeting
held by Sir S. M. Peto,that gentleman's committee
have recommended him to abstain in future from
that mode of addressing the electors.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE (WEST).
A requisition is in course of signature to Mr. Chas.
Berkeley, second son of Admiral Sir M. F. F. Berke-
ley, requesting him to offer himself for this division
of the county, in opposition to Mr. Molt, Q.C.

Russell's resolutions. • Mr. Cobbett, however, voted
in favour of the Government Reform Bill, and has
consequently provoked a strong feeling of opposition.
Mr. Hibbert, a gentleman residing in the neigh-
bourhood, has been brought forward with a view to
oust Mr. Cobbett.

PETERBOROUGH.

Mr. T. Hankey has completed his canvass, the
result of which has been most satisfactory. Mr.
Wilde also announces a faourable canvass. The
Conservatives boast of the success which has
attended their canvass for Mr. Wingfield, and the
Radicals are sanguine enough to expect to carry
Mr. G. H. Whalley, or at least to give him a
respectable position on the poll.

PLYMOUTH.
Lord Valletort, the Ministerial candidate for this
borough, has addressed the electors at public
meetings, and is actively prosecuting a canvass.

LYME REGIS.

A portion of this small constituency are dissatis-
fied with the conduct of their present representa-
tive, and on Monday passed a vote of censure upon
Colonel Pinney for voting " in favour of the reso-
lution brought forward by Lord John Russell

BIRMINGHAM.

A third candidate has appeared to solicit the
suffrages of this constituency in the person of Mr.
T. D. Acland, who represented West Somerset from
1837 to 1847. Mr. G. Bodington, a solicitor resid-
ing at Sutton Coldfield, has also issued an address
to the electors, expressing his determination of be-
coming a candidate. He is supported by a large
party in the town who are opposed to the principles
of Mr. Bright. Ile says he will do all in his power
to carry out an effective system of reform by a large
extension of the suffrage, and by establishing a £lO
franchise in counties.. He is in favour of triennial
Parliaments, according to the old constitutional
form, but is a determined enemy to the ballot, and
does not believe that the constituency of Birming-
ham will ever become so degraded as to ask for it.

HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

Lord Montagu and Mr. Fellowes are prosecuting
their canvass with energy, and Mr. Heathcote, the
Liberal candidate, is equally active. The run will,
it is expected be a close one between Mr. Heathcote
and Lord Montagu, and sonic little acrimony seems
to be already mingling with the contest on the part
of the candidates' friends.

LAMBETH. •
MEETING OF MR. WILLIAMS'S FRIENDS.
A meeting of the friends of Mr. William Williams
was held last evening, at the house of Mr. Price,
the Wellington Arms Tavern, Waterloo-road, for
the purpose of forming' a committee to carry that
gentleman's election, a similar meeting having been
previously held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington,
which was also numerously attended, and the feel-
ing of those present was most enthusiastic in his
favour. The chair was taken at the Wellington
Arms and Shropshire House, Waterloo-load, by
Mr. J. Williams, when a resolution was proposed,
and carried nem. con., that the following gentlemen
should form a district committee, in order to secure
the return of the candidate—namely, Mr. Brooks,
as secretary ; Mr. Watkins, Mr. Roberts, Mr. D.
Poole, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Emblin, Mr. David Wil-
liams, Mr. Hornett, and Dr. Edmunds (of the New

THE DISSOLUTION AND COUNSEL.

The Attorney-General said he had to apply to
their lordships, with the consent of the learned
counsel engaged on the other side, that several
cases in which he was engaged should be allowed
to stand over until next term, alleging as a reason
that probably for the next few weeks counsel would
necessarily be absent from town.

The Lord Chief Baron remarked that a general
election at this period of the year was an unusual
circumstance. It usually took place during the
Long Vacation, and he had no doubt the Court
would readily afford every facility to learned coun-
sel engaged in elections.
Mr. Baron Martin said the elections would be
over before the end of Term.

The Attorney-General said they would, but it
would only leave them two or three days.
Mr. Baron Martin—The last day of Term is the
12th of May.
The Attorney-General said he was afraid that
many of them would be engaged until the 9th or
10th of May.
Mr. Baron Martin said that might be so in Ire-
land, but not in England.
The Attorney-General said it was a long time
since his lordship was engaged in electioneering
matters. (Laughter.) There was first the procla-
mation, then the nomination, and next the polling.
The Lord Chief Baron—And then the long
speeches. (Laughter.)
Mr. Baron Martin And after that a fight.
(Bencwed laughter.)
The Court•granted the application.

for the defendant to file affidavits had expired
yesterday, and that all reasonable despatch was
necessary in a case of this kind, where the means
of dealing with the copyright of such a work as
The Household Words, and its real value to the
proprietors, depended so much upon the proceed-
ings in regard to it not being delayed.

SUNDERLAND.

A placard has been issued, announcing that Mr.
Duncan Dunbar, the great shipowner, will offer

whether that gentleman will enter upon the con-

the London Shipowners' Society are very hostile to
Mr. Lindsay for his free trade views, and are
anxious to get as many members into Parliament as
possible, pledged to work the question of reciprocity.

THAMIS.

Mr. Selfe resumed his magisterial duties this morning,
after an absence of four months and one week, caused by
severe indisposition contracted in the discharge of his duties
as Chairman of the Commission for inquiring into the state
of Military Clothing and Stores at Weedon, the Tower, and
Woolwich. Mr. Selfe left the court very ill on the 17th of
December last, two days after the termination of the
Weedon inquiry, and to the great regret of the suitors and
practitioners in this court, has not been able to preside since
until this morning. After the hearing of a great many
applicants who sought advice, relief, and summonses, Mr.
Joseph Smith, Mr. Charles Young, Mr. Stoddart, and Mr.
Fletcher, solicitors, with their clerks ; Mr. Saunders,
managing clerk to Mr. Maddock, solicitor, who
were seated at the table of the court, rose, and
Mr. Smith said, as the senior member of the profession in
court, he begged leave, on his own part, and upon theirs,
to express their sincere and hearty congratulations on the
magistrate's recovery to health. They all believed his wor-
ship had undergone a good deal of suffering, but the solici •
tors present could assure him that their sympathies had
been with him, and they did earnestly hope and trust that
his worship would be enabled to retain that health and
strength so necessary for the discharge of those important
duties imposed on every magistrate.
Mr. Selfe, who was deeply affected at this unsolicited and
spontaneous mark of respect, which was delivered by Mr.
Smith, with faltering voice, said in reply—Mr. Smith,
and all the gentlemen before me, I thank you very
much for your kind congratulations and sympathy.
I have suffered much, but I have received great kindness
during my long illness from my colleague and others. I
thank you very heartily It has been a great comfort to
me during some three years I have been hero that so re-
spectable and intelligent a body of gentlemen have been
practising before me, and I trust that our intimacy may be
continued with the same good feeling on both sides.

The solicitors and their clerks then bowed and retired.
Numerous gentlemen, including the representatives of
the press, also addressed the magistrate, expressing their
deep regret that the public had been so long deprived of his
services, and their heartfelt congratulations on his perfect
recovery from the long illness with which he had been
afflicted.

CARLISLE.

A great open-air meeting, numbering 4,000 or
5,000 persons, was held last night in Market-place,
Carlisle. Sir James Graham read to the meeting
passages from the Queen's speech, pointing out that
they made no mention of reform. The real ques-
tion at issue, he said, was whether they would have
Lord Derby without reform to rule them, or whether
they would have a large extension of the suffrage
and a redistribution of seats. He was not a ecivert
to the ballot, but by returning his friend and rela-
tive, Mr. Lawson, they would confirm what
he had stated to the House of Commons, that
there was a strong desire for its adoption. Mr.
Wilks proposed and Dr. Evans seconded a resolu-
tion thanking Sir James Graham for his indepen-
dent conduct in Parliament, and strongly declaring
the desire of the people of Carlisle for the ballot.
The resolution was carried by an overwhelming
majority. Mr. Lawson briefly addressed the
assembly.

a large body of the electors.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lord Justice Turner.)
APPEAL-THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST
RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The farther hearing of this part heard appeal motion
was resumed this morning,
Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., followed Mr. Rolt, Q.C. for the ap-
pellants.

This is' an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir William Page Wood, refusing an injunction to re-
strain the respondents from using the appellants' line and
station as a joint line and station contrary to the com-
panies' joint traffic contract and relative railway acts of
Parliament, 1847-1858, and for compensation.
Mr. Taylor followed on the same side.
It is probable the arguments will occupy several days.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kindersley

JUDGMENT.-RODGSON V. BOWER.
His Honour, the Vice •Chancellor, said—The point tha.
I reserved for judgment in this case is the pure question
whether the memorandum or agreement of 21st April, 1858,
is one, under all the other circumstances, which this
Court can decree specific performance of. I have some
doubts whether the allegation in it are sufficiently expressed
in reference to the duration of the terms. This is an agree
ment for a lease for 21 years, to be terminated by the lessee
not only at the end of the first 21 years, but any other.
Now, not only at the end of the first 21 years, being the
first appointed term in the agreement, but any other, the
lessor could grant a further term at the expiration of 21
years. Therefore I decree specific performance of the
agreement, with costs up to the hearing of the present
decree.
Nerved accordingly.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before th' Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly).
JUDGMENT-110DGKINSON V. THE NATIONAL LIVE STOCK

INSURANCE COMPANY.-SAME V. SAME.-SAME V. SAME.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The only
argument offered affects the bill in general, and I think the
demurrer must be overruled. There is a great deal in the
case upon which I do not like to express my opinion until
the hearing. It is a point which must be decided upOn
principle, and one which must be argued on the bill, and
could only be determined by the bill. I refer to the 19th
and 22d proposed alterations by the company in the year
1855, by which the defendant was taken bound to pay, by
way of deposit, 560 shares. It was agreed that the defend-
ant, Edward Hodgkinson, should be exonerated from all
liability with respect to the £4,000 shares for which he sub-
scribed the deed of agreement, upon condition that he be-
came a member and holder of 560 shares, upon which he
paid a deposit and transferred them to the company. His
Honour was of opinion that it was ultra tires of the
directors to enter into this agreement without being autho-
rised to do so by a general meeting of the company. His
Honour thought there were sufficient allegations made in
the bill to support it. His Honour overruled the demurrer,
and reserved the costs to be disposed of at the hearing of
the cause.—Demurrer overruled.

liament to serve the working classes in relation to
the Poor-law Bill, the Factory Bill, &c., was
greeted most warmly by the dockyard artisans,
many of whom were present.

ESSEX (NORTH.)
Lieut.-Col. Brise, the third Conservative candi
date, has withdrawn from the contest in which he
threatened to engage with Mr. Beresford, and as no
Liberal candidate is in the field, the right hon. gen-
tleman is expected to be now returned without
opposition, in conjunction with Mr. Du Cane.
London, England, 1859-04-21

WATERFORD (CITY).

A severe contest is inevitable. The late members
have issued their addresses, and, in addition to Sir
Henry Winston Barron, Mr. John Ball, who for-
merly sat for the city of Limerick, has just arrived
in Waterford, and seems likely to find favour with
a large body of the electors.

WATERFORD (COUNTY).
A Liberal local paper says that Captain Es-
monde's election is reckoned to be secure, but there
is reason to believe that in the event of Mr. Power's
declining to stand a fierce Conservative opposition
play be expected.
London, England, 1859-04-21

BRISTOL.

Mr. Handel Cossham has declined to come for-
ward, and has thrown the weight of his influence
into the scale in favour of the late members—Messrs.
Berkeley and Langton. Their return is considered
certain.

BURY ST. EDMUND'S.
Lord Alfred Hervey's re-election is considered
safe, but there will be an arduous contest between
Sir R. J. Buxton and Mr. J. A. Hardcastle for the
second seat.
London, England, 1859-04-21

TILE DISSOLUTION AND COUNSEL.

The Attorney-General said he had to apply to
their lordships, with the consent of the learned
counsel engaged on the other side, that several
cases in which he was engaged should be allowed
to stand over until next term, alleging as a reason
that probably for the next few weeks counsel would
necessarily be absent from town.
The Lord Chief Baron remarked that a general
election at this period of the year was an unusual
circumstance. It usually took place during the
Long Vacation, and he had no doubt the Court
would readily afford every facility to learned coun-
sel engaged in elections.
Mr. Baron Martin said the elections would be
over before the end of Term. _

The Attorney-General said they would, but it
would only leave them two or three days.
Mr. Baron Martin—The last day of Term is the
12th of May.
The Attorney-General said he was afraid that
many of them would be engaged until the 9th or
10th of May.
Mi. Baron Martin said that might be so in Ire-
land, but not in England.
The Attorney-General said it was a long time
since his lordship was engaged in electioneering
matters. (Laughter.) There was first the procla-
mation, then the nomination, and next the polling.
The. Lord Chief Baron—And then the long
speeches. (Laughter.)

Mr. BarOn Martin— And after that a figh
(Renewed laughter.)
The Court granted the application.

ROLLS' COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)

BRADBURY V. DICKENS-IN RE " THE HOUSEHOLD
WORDS."
Mr. Jessel moved for leave to serve the defendant
in this case with notice of motion for to-morrow to
advance the suit, upon the ground that the time
for the defendant to file affidavits had expired
yesterday, and that all reasonable despatch was
necessary in a case of this kind, where the means
of dealing with the copyright of such a work as
The Household Words, and its real value to the
proprietors, depended so much upon the proceed-
ings in regard to it.not being delayed.
His Honour—Has the defendant filed any affi.
davits ?
Mr. Jessel—No, Sir.

His Honour—You may take an order for the
service as prayed, on the understanding that the
defendant is not to be prejudiced thereby, if he can
show any cause why such short service should be
injurious to him.
London, England, 1859-04-21

EXETER.

Rumours were afloat in this city for several days
that a second Conservative candidate would come
forward, and the names of several gentlemen were
mentioned ; but it is now generally believed that
Mr. R. S. Gard (Conservative) and Mr. E. Divett
(Liberal), the present members, will be returned
without opposition.
London, England, 1859-04-21

CARLISLE.

A great open-air meeting, numbering 4,000 or
5,000 persons, was held last night in Market-place,
Carlisle. Sir James Graham read to the meeting
passages from the Queen's speech, pointing out that
they made no mention of reform. The real ques-
tion at issue, he said, was whether they would have
Lord Derby without reform to rule them, or whether
they would have a large extension of the suffrage
and a redistribution of seats. He was not a convert
to the ballot, but by returning his friend and rela-
tive, Mr. Lawson, they would confirm what
he had stated to the House of Commons, that
there was a strong desire for its adoption. Mr.
Wilks proposed and Dr. Evans seconded a resolu-
tion thanking
i Sir James Graham for his indepen-
dent conduct n Parliament, and strongly declaring
the desire of the people of Carlisle for the ballot.
The resolution was carried by an overwhelming
majority. Mr. Lawson briefly addressed the
assembly.
London, England, 1859-04-21

BIRMINGHAM.

A third candidate has appeared to solicit the
suffrages of this constituency in the person of Mr.
T. D. Acland, who represented West Somerset from
1837 to 1847. Mr. G. Bodington, a solicitor resid-
ing at Sutton Coldfield, has also issued an address
to the electors, expressing his determination of be-
coming a candidate. Heis supported by a large
party in the town who are opposed to the principles
of Mr. Bright. He says he will do all in his power
to carry out an effective system of reform by a large
extension of the suffrage, and by establishing a £lO
franchise in counties. He is in favour of triennial
Parliaments, according to the old constitutional
form, but is a determined enemy to the ballot, and
does not believe that the constituency of Birming-
ham will ever become so degraded as to ask for it.
London, England, 1859-04-21

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bram-
well, and Channel].)
SWYNFEN V. LORD CHELMSFORD.
The Attorney-General, on the part of the noble defendant,
said this trial stood for hearing at the last assizes at Staf-
ford, but the venue had been changed to London or Middle-
sex, to be heard at sittings after this term.
Mr. Baron Channell said the venue was changed, but
application was ordered to be made to the Lord Chief Baron
as to the time at which the case should be heard.
The Attorney-General said he was only anxious that
the case should not be called on during the next fortnight,
as he would be unable to be in attendance during that time,
and it might be thought the defendant was not ready to go
on. He begged to state he was quite prepared.
The Lord Chief Baron said he saw nothing to take the
case out of its order. It would come on as a special jury
case at the sittings after Trinity term.

LATEST NEWS.

THE CONGRESS.

The following telegrams have been received At
Mr. Reuter's office:—

PARIS, APRIL 21.

The 3foniteur of this day contains the following
—England has made to the four other great
Powers the following propositions :-
1. To effectuate previous to the Congress a ge-
neral and simultaneous disarmament.

2. The disarmament to be regulated by a mili-
tary or civil commission independently of the
Congress. This commission to be composed of six
commissioners, one of whom to be a Sardinian.
3. As soon as the commission shall have com-
menced operations, the Congress shall assemble
and proceed to the discussion of political questions.
3. That the representatives of the Italian States
should be invited by the Congress, immediately
after its assembling, to take their seats with the
representatives of the great Powers absolutely as
at the Congress of 1821.
France, Russia, and Prussia have given in their
adhesion to the proposals of England.

BERLIN, THURSDAY, April 21.

The semi-officih.l Prussian Gazette (Preussische
Zeitung) publishes an article which states that
the assembling of the Congress is becoming more
and more doubtful, and that the state of affairs has
assumed a most serious aspect (situation erntester
Charakter angenommen), which induces the
Prussian Government to think that it is a
proper time to make proposals to the Federal Diet
for the purpose of taking general measures for its
own interest and safety.
Government has even preceded these proposals
by ordering three corps d'armee to be placed on
a war footing (Kriegsbereitschaft). These
measures are merely of a defensive character, and
without any aggressive signification.

• MARSEILLES, APRIL 20.
Advices have been received from Constantinople
to the 13th inst.

The apprehipsions of war have aroused fears of
an insurrection in Turkey.
The deliberations of the Divan have lately been
addressed to fhe consideration of the attitude which
it should assume to meet coming emergencies, and
Omer Pasha has been summoned.

The Journal de Constantinople quotes letters from
the Danubian Principalities, confirming the report
of Russian armaments in Bessarabia.

The Greek Government is making a new loan.

The concession for the railway from the Bospho-
rus to Smyrna has been granted to an English
Company, represented by the editor of the journal
de Constantinople.
Letters have been received, tending to confirm
previous reports, that 100,000 Russians are to be
assembled in Georgia.
London, England, 1859-04-21

WIGAN.

The Hon, Colonel Lind;;;;who represented this
boroilgh from 1845 to 18,57, is again a candidate, in
opposition to Mr. Powell and Mr. Woods, the pre-
sent members.

YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING.)
At the Liberal meeting on Monday, in Bradford,
Sir John Ramsden and Mr. F. Crossley declared
their adhesion to Lord John Russell's outlined
Reform Bill. •

Sir CHARLES WOOD (who had arrived only a few
minutes before from London) said,—l address you.
as a brother elector of the West Riding—l address
those who are my brother electors, those whom I
hope will be so soon, and those also, whether elec-
tors or not, who cannot but take an interest in this
district, of which we are all inhabitants. I am
anxious to say a word now, as I may not be able in
other parts of the riding to take my part in support
of the two candidates. lam anxious, moreover, as
a landlowner, to address you as a manufacturing
body, and tell you that we are as anxious as you
are that both our candidates should be returned to
Parliament. I tell you that in one respect lam
sorry, because a better friend and colleague than
Mr. Crossley man could not have. The Government
brought in a bill misnamed—miscalled a Reform
Bill; the House of Commons decided against
that bill, and the Government have appealed to
the country. Three candidates are before you
for the riding—one voted with the Government
for the bill, and two voted against it as a sham
and a delusion. Which of the men will the electors
of the West Riding return to Parliament ? I can-
not doubt for one moment. But I wish also to
say that I, a landowner, in conjunction with the
whole body of the Whig landed proprietors of the
riding, am anxious to see a manufacturer as a
colleague of„ Sir John Ramsden. We are anxious
to prove that our prosperity depends on you; that
agriculture, trade, and commerce are indisso-
lubly bound up together. (Cheers.) People deny
that sometimes; but do you send a proof from the
largest constituency of Great Britain that a land-
owner and a manufacturer are sent together to re-
present the joint interests of the riding—interests
which are those also of the whole empire.
Mr. STANSFIELD (one of the candidates for Hali-
fax) also addressed the meeting.
The Leeds Mercury expresses surprise to hear
that it has been stated by gentlemen of the Con-
servative party that Earl Fitzwilliam would give
his support at the coming election to Mr. James
Stuart Wortley, and says it has the best authority
for stating that this is entireiy false, and that the
noble earl, when applied to, expressly declined to
support Mr. Wortley.
London, England, 1859-04-21

" CENTRAL INDIA AND RAJPOOTANA.

"We have said that the tariff completely absorbed
public attention. It has not done so to the detriment
of any other important event. We have not to re-
cord any startling incidents from the field of rebel-
lion in Rajpootana or Central India. Tantia Topee
is still concealed, no one knows where. Feroze
Shah is equally invisible. The Rao, accompanied
by Adil IVlahomed of Bhopaul and a few followers,
is still in the jungles that surround Seronge. The
Rao sent his Vakeel on the 9th of March to Bri-
gadier Napier to treat for surrender, but up to the
19th inst. he had not carried his avowed purpose
into effect. Such means as it was possible to take
had been adopted to prevent him from making his
escape altogether. Major Chetwood of the Bth
Hussars, was hovering round the jungles to watch
him, and Brigadier Wheeler had moved a force from
Saugor towards Seronge for the same purpose.
The state of the Dumoh and Banda districts re-
mains unaltered. Captain Mayne, Colonels
Apthorpe and Rees are out in those districts watch-
ing, rather than pursuing the rebels, who have
taken refuge in the great Jhajud jungles.
London, England, 1859-04-21

CAINE.

Sir F. Williams having retired from the repre-
sentation of this borough, the Right Hon. R. Lowe
has offered himself in his stead.

CARDIGANSHIRE.

For the united boroughs Capt. E. L. Pryse, the
present member, and Lord Lieutenant for the county,
will be returned without a contest. He is an ad-
vanced Liberal, as in his address, he says his
ancestors have been more than a hundred years.
For the county there are itwo Conservatives—
Mr. A. S. Davies (ultra Tory), and Colonel
Powell (a Liberal Conservative)—in the field, and
there is every prospect at present of a warm
contest.
London, England, 1859-04-21

OLDHAM.

Three Liberals are in the field for this borough,
and as neither appears disposed to give way a
severe contest is anticipated. Mr. Fox is considered

Conservatives hoast of the success which has
attended their canvass for Mr. Wingfield, and file
Radicals are sanguine enough to expect to carry
Mr. G. H. Whalley, or at least to give him a
respectable position on the poll.

PLYMOUTH.
Lord Valletort, the Ministerial candidate for this
borough, has addressed the electors at public
meetings, and is actively prosecuting a canvass.

RIPON.
Mr. Warre has retired, and the Hon. Henry'
Frederick Cowper has offered himself on Liberal
principles, in conjunction with Mr. Greenwood.

SUNDERLAND.
A placard has been issued, announcing that Mr.
Duncan Dunbar, the great shipowner, will offer
himself as a candidate for this borough;. but
whether that gentleman will enter upon the con-
test is another question. There is no doubt that
the London Shipowners' Society are very hostile to
Mr. Lindsay for his free trade views, and are
anxious to get as many members into Parliament as
possible, pledged to work the question of reciprocity.

WAREHAM.
Mr. T. S. W. Drax, who formerly represented
this borough, but who was beaten by Mr. Caleraft
at the last general election by three votes, is again
a candidate upon the Conservative interest.

FRANCE.

PARIS BOURSE, June 24.—A brisk rally took
place at the opening of the market on a report that
Venice and Peschiera had been taken by the
Sardo-French armies ; but as the report was not
afterwards confirmed, the prices again receded.
Threes, wnich at the opening rose to 62f. 25c., are
now at 62f. Mobilier varied from 632 f. 50c. to
625 f. ; Austrian, 415 f. to 410 f.; Orleans, 1,215 f. to
1,210 f.; Lyons, 820 f. to 817 f. 50c. ; Northern,
922 f. 50c. to 917 f. 50c. A judgment of the Tri-
bunal Correctionnel, which condemns the coulissiers
to 10,500 f. for infringing on the functions of the
agens de change, produced a great sensation on
the Bourse. The following were the last quota-
