CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market,
coastwise and by land carriage, was very limited. The
warlike news from the continent produced great firmness in
prices, which ruled is to 2s per quarter higher than on
Monday; but millers generally evinced very little desire to
operate extensively.
The imports of foreign wheat are 10,810 quarters. Nearly
all kinds were about 2s dearer than on Monday, and several
parcels were taken on speculation. Floating parcels pro-
duced more money.
. _

All kinds of barley were in improved request, and in
some instances fine samples advanced is per quarter.
No change touk place in the value of malt, for which
article the demand was far from active.

Oats, though in good supply, sold steadily, at extreme
rates. The same may be said of beans and pease.
The flour trade was firm, and prices had an upward
tendency.

" We learn a fact of great importance. If the

Austrian army has not continued the offensive move-
ment which it had begun, it is because the Austrian
Cabinet has accepted the mediation proposed by
England. At the same time we are assured that
the French Government has taken the offer of Eng-
land into consideration. If this last news be cor-
rect, France may be convinced that this fresh evi-
dence of moderation will not be given unless all
guarantees be reserved which the present state of
affairs demands."

points—the disfranchisement of small boroughs, the
preservation of the 40s. freeholds in boroughs, the
reduction of the county franchise to £lO, and of the
borough franchise to £6 ; but he differed from Mr.
Bright in thinking that there ought to be supple-
mentary franchises, in order to admit many intelli-
gent men who would not be included in a borough
franchise of £6 ; that the seats obtained by dis-
franchisement should be fairly divided between the
rural and urban constituencies, so as to maintain as
far as possible the existing balance of power ; and
that the ballot ought not to be adopted. It was
not, however, the details of his opponent's reform
scheme which had caused dissatisfaction so much as
his tone and temper,.and his arrogant defiance of
station, birth, and privilege of whatever kind. The
hon. candidate was further understood to charge
Mr. Bright with attempting to set class against
class, and to conclude by stating that the result of
the poll, whatever it might be, would at all events
prevent its being said henceforth that the opinions
and sentiments of Mr. Bright were shared by all
the inhabitants of Birmingham. It is scarcely
necessary to add that not a single syllable of his
speech was heard a few feet from the hustings.
The MAYOR having called for a show of hands,
nearly every person held up both hands for Messrs.
Scholefield and Bright; only a very few were shown
for Mr. Acland. Nevertheless, Mr. Van Wart de-
manded a poll for that gentleman, and it was ap-
pointed to take place to-morrow. The proceedings
then terminated, having lasted nearly five hours.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-April 28.

VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
GYE V. GRAZIANI.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C. and Mr. Martindale moved on
behalf of Mr. Gye that the defendant, Mr. E. T.
Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, might
stand committed for not complying with an under-
taking given by him on the 21st inst. not to
advertise the name of Signor Graziani as about to
sing at Drury-lane during the present year.
The plaintiff, who complained that the name of
Signor Graziani still appeared conspicuously
prominent, upon -me radaras posted by the
defendant, and had not been removed from the
programmes of the arrangements for the season
which were to be obtained at the musicsellers, had
called the defendant's attention to the circumstance
on Monday last, and threatened to apply to the
Court in respect of this violation of the undertaking
given by him. The plaintiff did not seek actually
to commit Mr. Smith to prison, but he wished to
have the advertisements complained of at once
withdrawn. _ _ _

• .
Mr. Wilcock, on behalf of Mr. Smith, said that
that gentleman was not aware that in advertising
Signor Graziani in the way proposed he was acting
in any way contrary to the undertaking which had
been given in the cause. Mr. Smith was quite
ready to discontinue the advertisements.
The Vice-Chancellor said the advertisements
must be discontinued. Mr. Smith must pay the
costs of this application.

PIEDMONT.

The following is a translation of the speech ad-
dressed to the Sardinian Senate by Count Cavour,
in introducing the bill already voted by the other
Chamber relative to the extraordinaay powers con-
ferred on King Victor Emmanuel :

After the exact and frank explanation in the other
Chamber of the facts that preceded and the reasons that
determined this resolution, I trust I have shown that
his Majesty's Government has given, in these late
negotiations, all the conciliatory proofs compatible
with its dignity. I am consoled by knowing that
the great Powers and the public opinion of Europe
have been unanimous in their severe censure of Austria's
refusal. To what I stated in the other house I have to add
that which has since occurred. On Saturday evening there
arrived at Turin the Austrian messenger bringing the de-
spatch of Count Buol, which had been announced to us.
This despatch invites Sardinia to disarm and immediately
disband the Italian volunteers, It requires a precise and
categorical reply within three days ; and our non-acceptance
will be made a cants belli. This fact, while confirming the
necessity of the project of law, renders it thereby the more
urgent, and I am sure the Senate will think so in every point
of view. Gentlemen, to re-unite all the powers of the govern-
ment in one hand, during this supreme crisis of our country,
to renounce for a brief period the exercise of certain rights and
privileges, is not so much the fruit of an instantaneous
ardour, as it is the council of mature prudenc. The nations
most celebrated in history for their political acumen shall
furnish our example. Therefore, I doubt not, the decision
which the representatives of the people have not hesitated to
adopt will be sanctioned by the Senate, where so much wis-
dom and experience are concentrated. If, on the one hand,
the gravity of the times requires this act of confidence which
leaves the constitutional institutions intact, on the other
hand there never was a monarch who more deserved # than
Victor Emmanuel.

A telegram informs us that the Senate gave a
unanimous sanction to the bill.

The King of Piedmont left on Wednesday for
Alessandria, after having attended a military mass.
The Opinione of Turin states that the garrison of
that city left on Monday for the army, and were

loudly cheered by the population.
The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the
public sittings of the Chamber of Deputies are
suspended until further orders.
King Victor Emmanuel, in taking the command
of the Piedmontese army, will be accompanied by
Prince Humbert, his eldest son, who has just
completed his 15th year.
The Sardinian army are at present in the receipt
of the allowance and pay given in time of war.

LYDDON V. MOSS.

Mrs. Flora Lyddon filed her bill to set aside a deed of
transfer and assignment of her annuities to her solicitor,
the defendant, Mr. Moss, in satisfaction of his bill of costa
due by her and her late husband, and for a re-transfer of
her annuities on the ground of want of professional assist-
ance and valuable consideration.
The Master of the Rolls set aside the deeds.

Lord Justice K. Bruce and Lord Justice Turner, in a
lengthened judgment delivered, were of opinion that there ,
were not sufficient grounds for setting aside this deed, as
the plaintiff had for a number of years acquiesced and ap- -
proved of the deed in question, without raising the slightest ,
valid objection against it.
Their lordships altered the decree of the Master of the
Rolls, and dismissed the Appeal without costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .D4Y4

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jane Ingram, a respectable-
looking young woman, described as a servant, was charged
with attempting to commit suicide by taking laudanum.
Mrs. Mary Ann Wright, of 68, Berwick-street, said the
accused lived with her as servant, and on the previous night
about half-past eleven, while at supper, she suddenly said
she had taken poison. Prosecutrix advised her to go for
assistance, and as soon as she got out of doors she gave her
in charge of a constable. The accused frequently threat-
ened to destroy herself, and showed her a bottle labelled
" laudanum, poison." She did not know that she had
any cause. She seemed pretty happy, and had no reason
that she was aware of to do such a thing, except that she
was about to leave.

A constable said she was attended by the divisional sur-
geon, and remedies administered. She admitted to him that
she had taken poison.

In answer to Mr. Leadlcy, the chief clerk, the accused
said she did it as she was about to leave her situation, and
did not wish to trouble her friends. She would promise
not to do it again.
A sister having promised to take care of her, and the ac-
cused having promised not to repeat the rash act, she was
given up, sobbing, to her sister.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN OF £12,000,000.

One of the points particularly worthy of remark
in the present state of affairs is the escape the public
have had from the projected loan to Russia. Al-
though the designs of that Power have been trans-
parent ever since the premature termination of the
Crimean war, through the influence of our " ally,"
and the subsequent meeting of the Emperors at
Suttgardt, it was certaii that no warnings short of
absolute demonstration would be of avail to prevent
her from obtaining any desired amount if a house
of standing could be found willing to undertake
the transaction. Accordingly, when the scheme
for getting £12,000,000 was put out a month or two
back the greatest elation and confidence were ex-
pressed by all the parties interested. " English
capitalists might please themselves." " Only a
very moderate portion would be granted them."
" People at Berlin and elsewhere were anxious to
get it at 1 or 2 per cent. above the price at which it
was to be offered in the London market." Under
such circumstances there was little hope of any
word of caution being heard. True, neither
Messrs. Baring nor Rothschild, who are usually
eager enough to compete in such matters, had
shown any willingness to touch it. There were
also reports of a mysterious concentration of
100,000 Russian troops in Georgia. The Russian
Ambassador at Vienna likewise was said to have
remarked openly that the Emperor Napoleon was
quite right in demanding a revision of the treaties
of 1815; and, finally, the recent contrivances for
annulling the Treaty of Paris as regards the Danu-
bian Principalities, the tour of the Grand Duke
Constantine in the Mediterranean, and the adroit
movement for counteracting the pacific mission of
Lord Cowley might have been supposed sufficient
to induce hesitation. But nothing can influence a
sanguine English investor, bent upon what he con-
ceives to be a stock that will yield him 5 per cent.,
and there is no measure to his contempt for
" alarmists." So the hopes of the contractors, it
was said, remained undiminished, and it was
actually only a day or two before the announce-
ment of the Austrian ultimatum that the last de-

liberations were held in order to have everything
in readiness to bring out this proposal at a
moment's notice. On the very next receipt of
tranquillising assurances in the French Moniteur,
to back those already furnished, that France had
not armed, and did not intend to arm, the whole
affair was to prove a great success. The " crimi-
nal" movement of Austria, however, in not waiting
till her opponents had obtained all they required,
spoiled the proceeding, and the £12,000,000 will
now have to be kept at home, where probably it
may at no distant date be found of use.—Times,

FINSIWRY.

The nomination took place this morning at the hustings,
Clerkenwell-green.
The candidates were Mr. Thomas Duneombe, Mr. Cox.
the late members, and Sir Samuel Morton Peto.

The usual formalities having been gone through, and the
several candidates nominated, the Returning Officer called
upon each of the candidates to address the electors.

Mr. Duncombe appealed with confidence to their expe-
rience of his past services during a period of 25 years. Mr.
Cox relied upon past services, from the fact that he had
devoted himself assiduously to local interests since he had
represented the borough, and that the opinions which
secured his return at the last election remained unchanged.
Mr. Peto, although he had not represented Finsbury before,
referred to his conduct as a public man when representing
Norwich for eight years, to his being a large employer of
labour within the borough, his consistent support of Liberal
principles as enunciated by leading members of the Reform
body, and to the claims which he had upon the Dissenting
party.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr.
T. Duncombe and Mr. Cox, though we thought it not easy
to say who had the gre-atest number held up for them.
A poll was demanded. There are now 21,951 registered
voters on the books as compared with 20,626 last year; and
on the last election the total number polling was 10,368—
or about half the constituency—of whom 1,404 plumped for
Mr. Cox, 1,117 for Sergeant Parry, 482 for Major Reed,
and 319 for Duncombe.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

At the last sitting M. Becquerel read a paper on
certain experiments of his (in continuation of those
mentioned several months ago) on the temperature
of plants. Operating on a horse-chesnut tree, the
results he arrived at were the following :—" 1. The
mean temperature within the tree was nearly equal
to the outer temperature, whatever be the diameter
of the tree ; nevertheless, the smaller the diameter
the sooner a perfect balance was established be-
tween the outer and the inner temperatures. 2. The
chemical reaction produced in the vegetable tissue
did not materially affect the temperature of the
tree. 3. During the three months of December,
January, and February last, the mean nocturnal
variation of temperature in the air, from 9 p.m. to 9
a.m. was 0.81 degrees ; in the tree, holes having
been bored into it to the depths of 17 and. 29 centi-
metres respectively, the variation was, in the first
instance, 0.19 degrees ' • in the second, 0.1 degree.
Hence the variation inside the tree has been four
and eight times less than in the air. 4. The maxi-
mum temperature in the air occurred in winter
about two a.m., and in the tree about nine p.m. ; in
summer about midnight. 5. The tranmission of
caloric is effected gradually from the circumference
to the centre. 6. The atmosphere is the natural
source whence plants derive their caloric. A com-
munication was received from M. Matteucci, de-
scribing certain experiments by which Professor
Faraday's hypothesis, that the effects of electrified
bodies on insulating cylinders depend on the state of
molecular electric polarization they develop in the
latter, receives a direct demonstration. M. Mat-
teucci further shows :-1. That the insulating power
of a body is in the inverse ratio of its degree of
polarisation under the same circumferences. 2.
That the electric capacity of a conductor is much
greater when surrounded with sulphur or any
other solid insulator than when enveloped by air,
and that the conductor yields less of its electricity
to the solid non-conductor than to the atmosphere;
and, 3, that the effects of insulating laminae
inter-
posed between the coatings of a Leyden jar may be
explained by the penetration of electricity into the
interior of the insulating bodies and bythe diffusion
of electricity over their surfaces. A letter was read
from M. Ramon de Luna, announcing the discovery
of a considerable deposit of phosphate of lime in
Spain, at a distance of four leagues from the Medi-
terranean railway. M. Yvon Villarceau sent in a
note on the planet of Sept. 9, 1857, of which astro-
nomers have lost the trace, a circumstance which
M. Vallarceau attributes to some error in the
elements calculated from a series of observations
not extending beyond a fortnight, and therefore
not to be relied on. I t therefore gives a corrected
table of elements, which, however, contain certain
indeterminate terms, the values of which are con-
tained within very wide limits.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, April 18.—There has been very little
business done in the cloth halls to-day. The trade
is moderately firm, and manufacturers are doing a
fair amount of business ; but electioneering proceed-
ings are absorbing so much attention that few sales
of goods are making at the present moment.
MANCHESTER, April 19.—The market has been
exceedingly fiat, the uncertainty hanging over con-
tinental affairs disposing buyers of all kinds of
goods for which there is not a pressing want to
defer operations as long as possible. In yarns there
have been offers for India, but at rates too low to
find acceptance. For Germany and the Mediter-
ranean the sales have been almost stopped ; the
home trade is flat. For what business has been
effected prices may be quoted Id. per lb. lower on
water twist, and id. per lb. lower on mule yarn.
Very low numbers of mule and water and 60's to
80's cops are an exception. The cloth market has
been very fiat, and prices of nearly all kinds of
manufactures, if nominally unchanged, are practi-
cally easier in price.

PRUSSIA.

The New Prussian Gazette, speaking of the visit
of the Archduke Albert to Berlin, says :—" Austria
wished to know what would be the attitude of
Prussia in the Congiess, with regard to certain
pretensions which France might put forward, and
what Prussia would do in case Austria was at-
tacked. That is the real object of the visit of the
Archduke Albert. A journal asserts that the
Archduke has proposed, in case of a war between
Austria, Sardinia, and France, the occupation of
certain Austrian provinces by Prussian troops,
should military events oblige Austria to draw away
her troops ; but we are enabled to declare that this
question is quite unfounded."

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within Ms reach of every one interested in the matter."—

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 15th have reached us.
The Senate had held a secret sitting to settle the
preliminaries of the trial of M. Esteban Collantes.
The Chamber of Deputies had nominated a com-
mittee to support the accusation against that gen-
tleman, and appointed M. Calderon Collantes
(though of the same name, this gentleman is not a
relative of the accused) president, and M. Cidraque
secretary of the committee. M. Calderon Collantes
begged to be excused from serving, on the ground
that he is father of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and might therefore be suspected of prejudice,
but the Chamber declined to grant his request.
The Espana, Leon, and Parlanzento had been
seized. One of the journals having stated that
some Peruvian vessels, which were blockading
Guayaquil, had captured a Spanish merchant
vessel, the Maria y Julia, at the Island of Pana,
near the equator, had hauled down her flag, and
taken her crew prisoners. The Gazette states that
the Government has not received any intelligence
of the kind.

Advices have been received from Rome to the
16th. The departure of volunteers which had
hitherto been inconsiderable now begins to increase
rapidly. 250 young men have left Perouse for
Piedmont. A seditious riot took place the day
before yesterday among the students of Bologna,
and the troops were obliged to fire upon them. It
is stated that several persons were wounded. Aus-
tria is increasing the garrison of Ferrara.

A Stuttgard letter, in the Nuremberg Correspon-
dence,We learn from a reliable source
that
a
treaty :--tyreiating to military affairs has been
concluded between Prussia and the States of
Southern Ger
Germany. It is said the articles of this
treaty are satisfactory in a German point of view."

A letter from Heidelberg states that the second
conference announced had been held there on the
16th by the Ministers of War of Wurtemberg,
Hesse, and Baden, which states form the Bth corps
of the federal army.

The independance of Brussels asserts on authority
that the statement made by an English journal of
Belgium and Holland having concluded a treaty
for the defence of their territories in case of war, is
a pure invention.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE 'IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
QECOND LIFE or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour" in constitutions "relaxed of debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

adduced by the prosecution as against Mr. Moss, the
second master, and Stephen Gruett, ordinary seaman,
and the evidence brought forward by the said Mr.
Moss and Stephen Gruett in 'their defence, the
Court, after the most careful deliberation, severally
acquitted the prisoners of the charge brought
against them. The Court then proceeded with the
trial of Lieutenant John Binney Scott, the com-
mander of the Jaseur, on the same charge. The
result was that Lieutenant Scott was acquitted.
The master and gunner were recommended to the
Admiralty for their conduct after the wreck.

LATEST NEWS.

TURIN, TittSDAy.

At a Council of Ministers held early this morn•
ing, at which the King was present, it was re•.

solved,

" That in order to give to Europe a proof of the
desire of Sardinia to remove the difficulties which
delay the meeting of a Congress, Sardinia yields to
the demand of England and France, and accepts
the principle of disarmament, the details of which
she will leave to be discussed in the Congress."

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
:second edition) says :

,‘ I learn a courier has arrived to-day (Tuesday)
in Paris with despatches saying there is every pro-
bability that Austria will attack Piedmont within
a very brief space of time. Troops are pouring
into Austrian Italy from all quarters. It is said
Austria prefers war to allowing Piedmont to enter
the Congress."
The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), says :

" The alacrity of France in admitting the prin-
ciple of a general disarming even before the meeting
of the Congress is not free from suspicion. When
the question comes to be treated, how, it will be
asked, is France required to disarm when she has
not armed ? Will any difficulty arise on this point ?''
A letter just received from Turin, dated April
17, says :—" Events, and indications as to their
probable course, now succeed each other so rapidly
that one hesitates to express a positive opinion,
which the telegraph may prove to be ill-
founded before the letter that contains it has
reached its destination. I do not think, how-
ever, that I greatly risk such refutation when
I express my conviction that war is all but
inevitable. Something may yet come to pass to
prevent its occurrence, but that something would,
in my eyes, be not very far short of a miracle. At
such a crisis as the present it is unavailing to revert
to the past, and to seek to show that things would
never have come to this state, and the cruel necessity
of war never have arisen, but for the obstinacy, the
ambition, or the duplicity of certain Governments or
c,:rtain men. That would be mere waste of time ;
and, moreover, the question has been argued
threadbare, without, to all appearance, convincing
any of the parties concerned. It is better boldly
to face the present and prepare for the future than
to linger on the past. I shall rejoice if I prove
mistaken, but my belief is that the Piedmontese
Government is bent on war, and that war it must
have, or that the Cavour Cabinet must fall, which
would doubtless be the signal for insurrections in
various parts of Italy, and perhaps even for serious
disturbances in Piedmont, where so many thou.
sands of emigrants and volunteers from other
Italian countries are now congregated, greatly ex-
cited and confident that hostilities are at hand."

KIDDERMINSTER.

It was expected at one time that, in consequence
of the retirement of the Right Hon. R. Lowe, there
would be no contest, and that the field would be
left open to Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. However, it
seems the electors are to have a choice of two can-
didates, and that Mr. Montagu Chambers is to be
brought forward in the Liberal interest, and it is
understood that he will receive the undivided sup-
port of that party.

KNARESBOROUGH.

After all there is to be a contest for this borough.
Mr. H. S. Thompson, the chairman of the North-
Eastern Railway Company, after declining to com-
ply with a requisition from some of the Liberal
electors to stand, was induced to reconsider the
matter, and on Saturday he declared himself a can-
didate. Mr. Thompson, at a public meeting of the
electors, expressed himself favourable to any mea-
sure which would have for its object the right of
giving the franchise to persons who by their per-
severance and indUstry had acquired a certain
amount of property. He declared himself a decided
opponent of the ballot, a staunch Churchman, but
in favour of the total abolition of church rates.
hard contest is expected. The Conservative candi-
dates are Mr. Collins and Mr. B. T. Woodd, the
present members.

LINCOLNSHIRE (NORTH.)
There will be no opposition to the return of the
two present representatives, Mr. J. B. Stanhope/
Conservative, and Sir M. J. Cholmeley, Liberal.

NORWICH.
Considerable excitement now prevails here, the
candidates on each side, Sir S. Bignold and Mr. C•
M. Lushington (Conservatives), and Lord Bury ana
Mr. Schneider (Liberals), having commenced an
active canvass. On Monday evening the Liberals
held a public meeting in St. Andrew's-hall, and
the Conservatives mustered in considerable num-
bers at the Assembly-rooms.
