THE GAS BILL.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the in-
habitants of Southwark, in London, in favour of this bill.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. LANG suggested, as the most convenient course,
that hon. members who had motions on the paper should'
postpone them until the evening.
Mr. LINDSAY, who had a motion for callint; the atten-
tion of the house to the present state of the shipping inte-
rest, stated that he would comply with the suggestion of
the hon. gentleman. His only object at the present stage
of the session was to elicit the opinion of Government on
the subject.

A DELPRI THEATRE.

MR. WEBSTER' S ANNUAL BENEFIT.
Mr. Webster will take his annual benefit to-morrow,
when a new drama, entitled " One Touch of Nature,"
in which he will play the leading character for that night
only, will be produced. The taste, judgment, and enter-
prise which Mr. Webster has invariably displayed in his
managerial capacity, and his brilliant abilities as a per-
former—for he is indeed one of the most accomplished and
original of modern actors—alike entitle him to the favour
of the public ; and it is to be hoped that the London play-
goers, to whose amusement he has so long and so success-
fully administered, will gladly avail themselves of the ap-
proaching opportunity to give a practical proof of their
regard for one who is in every sense worthy of it.

We have authority for stating that the Right
llon. James Wilson has consen' ml to go to India as a
member of Council, and also as Chancellor of the Indian
Exchequer. Mr. Wilson's position towards the Governor-
General and the Cabinet in the latter capacity will be simi-
lar to that which the Chancellor of the Exchequer bears at
home to the Government and the Cabinet. The task which
the new Member of Council has before him is certainly not
a very hopeful one, but Mr. Wilson will carry with him to
India habits of business and a financial ability hitherto but
too rarely exhibited on the banks of the Hooghly, and if he
succeeds in making India solvent, and in proving that she
cau pay her way, he will have rendered a public service
which cannot be too highly appreciated. One element of
success he will certainly carry with him in the confidence
and support of the Home Government ; and having secured
that, we trust that the sacrifice which he is about to make
will meet with its reward in the return of financial pro
sperity to our Indian dominions.—Times,

TAUNTON.

Mr. G. Cavendish Bentinck, who was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for the representation of this
borough at the last general election, is announced
to be brought forward by the Conservative party at
the election rendered necessary by the elevation of
Mr. Labouchere to the peerage.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

HUDDERSFIELD.

• This committee re-assembled yesterday at eleven
o'clock.

On the admission of the public,
The Chairman announced that the committee had
come to the following resolution :
" That it has not been proved that the sitting member
has been guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence,
either by himself or his agents."
The decision was hailed with loud and prolonged
cheering, the crowd evidently labouring under the
impression that Mr. Leatham was triumphant, and
the inquiry therefore brought to a close.
The Chairman said—As this is the first decision
which has been given wah reference to the act of
last session, the committee wish me to state, for the
information of counsel, that they consider hat the
travelling expenses which have been proved to
have been paid to voters by the agents of the sit-
ting member are illegal under the 21st and 22d of
Victoria, cap. 87, but do not render the sitting
member guilty of bribery under the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act.

Mr. Sergeant Pigott expressed his conviction that
the decision of the committee on the point was
sound law.

Mr. Maule said that his client, Mr. Akroyd,
claimed the seat and intended to proceed with the
scrutiny, and he would therefore ask that the com-
mittee should first hear the recriminatory evidence
by which his learned friend proposed to show that
Mr. Akroyd was disqualified from sitting for Hud-
dersfield.

Mr. Phinn thought it would be waste of time to
go into that case until the scrutiny had proceeded
so far as to give Mr. Akroyd a majority of votes.
The room was cleared, and the committee re-
mained some time in consultation. On the re-ad-
mission of the parties,
The Chairman announced that the committee
thought that the proper course to be taken was,
that the petitioners should proceed with the alle-
gations of the petition.
Mr. Slade then proposed to strike the name of
George Moson off the poll, on the ground that he
had been bribed.

Mr. Phinn then applied for an adjournment.
It was, however, decided to proceed with the
scrutiny. Two cases were investigated, when Mr.
Phinn again applied for an adjournment, which re-
quest was then acceded to by the committee.
Adjourned until 11 o'clock this day.

DIPIIT.HE_RIA.

Letters from Lisbon give the following account of the
fatal attack of diphtheria to which the young and grace-
ful Queen of Portugal fell a victim :—Shortly after return-
ing home from a ride on the sands during a day of intense
heat, the Queen complained of an indisposition which was
at first considered to be the result of a slight sun-stroke,
but which at last was recognised as diphtheria. The
fatal disease ran its course, despite the able at-
tendance of Dr. Gomez and the Baron da Silva, who
tried the means best approved by nledical art to save the
royal sufferer. At this juncture, Dr. Surar, of the Miseri-
cordia, who has a special reputation for the treatment of
disorders of this class, was called in ; but he declared the
case to be hopeless. The false membrane had extended
along the air passages, and terrible exhaustion was present.
As a last resource, however, tracheotomy was performed by
the eminent surgeon, Barboza ; but it was of no avail.
The latest Report of the Registrar-General just published
shows that diphtheria still extensively prevails throughout
the country, breaking out occasionally in unexpected
localities. In the north-eastern counties it has caused
seven deaths out of a total mortality of fifteen ; at Guild-
ford, one death being that of a medical man attending
other cases of diphtheria. In the county of Kent, it killed
nine out of thirty-three persons at Tonbridge, three
at Barham, six at Deal. In Sussex, it kiiled five per-
sons at Worth, eight at Wyke, four rat Midhurst. In
the eastern counties it hangs about Es,3ex and Norfolk,
killing nine at St. Faith's, eight at Crom€ or, five at Deporad
(four of which were of one family), and others at Milford
and Tunstead. In the west midland counties it was preva-
lent. At Bridgnorth, in Shropshire, eight deaths occurred
from diphtheria. In St2ffordshire, six deaths are reported
at Tunstall, four at Burslem, two at Stoke-upon-Trent,
six at Brewood, and six at Bilst on. It is
the an-
IV-Al-need as fatal in -Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
In north midland counties, the medical practitioners
of Lincoln are again called upon to combat this

THIS "Lars MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Oui market to-day was scantily supplied with all clO ..---
ted
of English wheat. The attendance of buyers was lira-
;
and the transactions were wholly restricted to immeclii4
te
wants; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. fag
Good and fine foreign wheats were in fair request, at
currencies; but low and damp parcels commanded
little attention.

# At
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate repo',
full currencies.
The supply of both English and foreign barley on offer
was limited, yet the demand for it ruled inactive, at Pre-
vious quotations.
Malt changed hands slowly, at the late decline in velile:
The oat trade was heavy, and inferior sanaples were ria
ther cheaper.
Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's prices.

STATUE OF RICHARD CCEUR DE LION.

On the vote—of £1,650 for a pedestal for the statue of
Richard Cceur de Lion to be erected in Palace-yard, some
discussion arose, but it was ultimately agreed to. ,
A sum of £5,641 was voted to discharge the claims of
Mr. Pennethorne for his professional services.
THE SERPENTINE.

On the vote of £17,000 for cleansing the Serpentine in
Hyde-park,
Mr. FITZROY said that when he acceded to office he
found that a plan was proposed for purifying the Serpen-
tine, which not only was not suitable but was very unpo-
pular. He then ascertained that in order to carry out the
plan adopted in St. James's-pa.rk for removing the mud,
draining off the water, and laying a concrete bottom, a
sum of between £50,000 and £60,000 would be required.
He next" applied to Mr. Hawkesley, the eminent engineer,
who made a report which was approved by Mr. R. Stephen-
son and Sir M. Peto. That report was to the effect that it
would not be necessary to drain off the water, and that the
mud was not of a noxious character. Mr. Hawkes-
ley proposed, in order to purify the water, to
place a filtering apparatus at the head of the Serpentine
through which 2,000,000 gallons orwater would flow daily,
and in the whole 60,000,000 in a month, which would effect
all that was necessary.

charged by petition with corrupt practices, and who has on
'the withdrawal of the petition accepted the Chiltern Hun-
dreds." This would provide time for some inquiry.
(The debate was here interrupted in order that the Hull
election committee might be sworn.)
On its resumption,
Mr. ROBERTS suggested that a select committee should
be appointed to inquire into all the cases of withdrawal.
Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that Dr. Mitchell had re-
ceived hard usage from the side of the house with whichhe
usually acted, and that the hon. member for Birmingham
deserved much credit for the manner in which he had spoken
in the case.

Sir C. WOOD, in order to give time for considering the
question, moved the adjournment of the debate, which was
accordingly adjourned to six o'clock this evening.
Lord PALMERSTON suggested to the hon. and learned
member to move for the attendance of Dr. Mitchell.
Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the hon. member for Bod-
min be ordered to attend in his place at six this evening.
Agreed to.

BUNDLECUND AND REWA.

A band of rebels under Furzund Allee and Run-
must Singh, surprised, at Etwah, the camp of
three railway engineers, who were employed in
surveying the Jubbulpore line. Two of them,
Messrs. Evans and Limuel, were killed. The third
Mr. Campbell, escaped to Manickpore. General
Whitlock has sent out three columns from Nagode
against these rebels, and a fourth is in pursuit of
them from Banda.

There is nothing of importance to communicate
from the Punjaub, North-West Provinces, or
Bengal.

VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING.
The long-expected crisis is at hand.
A corps of 50,000 men goes from this city to
Italy to-morrow and on following days.
Another corps of 60,000 men is to be assembled
here.

A reserve corps of 70,000 men will be placed in
Bohemia and Moravia.

The reserves of the army in Italy, and of the
army corps about to leave this city; have betn
called in.

TURIN, FRIDAY.

Sir James Hudson has left Turin for London this
evening. Mr. Sackville West remains as Chargé
d'Affaires.

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

TURIN, FRIDAY.

Letters from Milan announce the arrival at that
town of two battalions of Croats. Orders had
been issued to the railway directors to hold their
lines in readiness for the transport of a fresh corps
d'artnee of 25,000. The roads were encumbered
with materials for war and army stores.

Nearly 10,000 volunteers for the Piedmontese
service have arrived here (Turin).

VIENNA, FRIDAY.

A numerous corps d'armee was reviewed here
to-day on the Schmelzer practising-ground in the
presence of the Emperor.
The troops were most enthusiastic.
_ _

The formation of a new battalion of Grenadiers
to bo attached to the army in Italy, and the aug-
mentation of already existing battalions by calling
in conscripts, &c., has been decided on.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says :
—" According to a letter I have received from Vienna
the Minister of Finance has declared that unless the
present war preparations are suspended national
bankruptcy will soon folio v. The military party urge
the Emperor immediately to commence hostilities,
and suddenly march on Turin. The Emperor is said
to be convinced that this is the only way to settle
the Italsan question.' Perhaps it may settle the
existence of the Austrian empire also! At. all.
events it seems within probability that finance may
fight for Piedmont and gain the battle. Rest as-
sured Piedmont will not disarm with the enemy in
her face. It does not appear, as far as I can learn,
that any of the great Powers support the demands
of Austria to disarm Piedmont. We therefore
make little progress in the preliminary arrange-
ments for a Congress"
London, England, 1859-04-09

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
The actual movements reported this morning are
but scant, but there is, of course, the usual full crop
of rumours from all quarters of the kingdom. The
city of Cork is to be contested by a Mr. Bareroft
Carrell, who professes himself a Liberal Conserva-
tive, but a friend of the Derby Government. Mr.
Vincent Scully means again to try his'fortune in
the county of Cork, in the hope of displacing either
Mr. Alexander Worthy or Mr. Sergeant Deasy.
It is believed that no opposition will be given to
the re-election of the members for Kinsale and Mal-
low (Mr. Heard and Sir Denham Norreys), but Mr.
Butt will be opposed in Youghal by Colonel troche
(Liberal), and in Bandon Colonel Bernard is to have
an opponent in Mr. Shaw, reported to be a mode-
rate Liberal. The O'Donoghue has issued a pretty
lengthy address to the electors of Tipperary.
A letter from Drogheda announces that Mr.
James M'Cann has sent in his resignation: Sir
William Somerville will be invited to contest the
borough against a Conservative, name unknown. Mr. O'Hagan, Q.C., is spoken of.

FIRE CAUSED BY THE HEAT OF THE Sum.—On
Thursday, about eight dozen boxes of lucifer matches and
wax tapers, in the window of Mr. Godfrey, an oil and
plourman, No. 1, Heath-street, Commercial-road, became
ignited by the heat of the sun, the flames from which broke
the window glass and considerably damaged the stock. The
thermometer at the time, outside the chief station in Wat-
ling-street, City, was as Wet as 70.

THEATRE ROYAL LYCWUM.

The pressure upon our columns from political and other
important matters has prevented our hitherto noticing Mr.
F. Kingsbury's benefit and the first appearance of Miss
Clara St. Casse, which took place last Monday.
Miss St. Casse is a pupil of Mr. Kingsbury, and the
success which she undoubtedly achieved in the part of
Maritana reflects equal credit on herself an 4 on her able
and judicious maestro. Considering her extreme youth
(for we believe Miss St. Casse is not more than 18), and
the nervousness almost necessarily inseparable from a
first appearance, we have no reason to hesitate in pro-
nouncing the fair debutante of Monday last as having
quite fulfilled the expectations that were entertained re-
specting her, and we feel convinced, with time, experience,
and a few months more study and practice, she will be
among the best of our dramatic vocalists. Her appear-.
ante, too, on the stage is much in her favour, for her
figure, though petite, is light and graceful, and her face
beams with animation. The parts of Charles the Second
and Don Cesar de Bazan were very creditably performed by
Mr. Augustus and Mr. Hamilton Braham.
Miss St. Casse and Mr. F. Kingsbury were called for on
the termination of the opera, and received quite an enthu-
siastic ovation.
Three astonishing children, of the name of Delapierre,
and aged respectively four, six, and eight years, astonished
the audience by their marvellous performances on the
violin ; after which a ballet and, farce, at a somewhat late
hour, brought the entertainment to a close.

Liberal party are sanguine of success.

BUNDLECUND AND REWA.

A band of rebels under Furzund Alice and Run-
must Singh, surprised, at Etwah, the camp of
three railway engineers, who were employed in
surveying the Jubbulpore line. Two of them,
Messrs. Evans and Limuel, were killed. The third
Mr. Campbell, escaped to Manickpore. General
Whitlock has sent out three columns from Nagode

from the Punjaub, North-West Provinces, or

Bengal.

TURIN, FRIDAY.

Letters from Milan announce the arrival at that
town of two battalions of Croats. Orders had
been issued to the railway directors to hold their
lines in readiness for the transport of a fresh corps
crartnee of 25,000. The roads were encumbered
with materials for war and army stores.

Nearly 10,000 volunteers for the Piedmontese
service have arrived here (Turin).

VIENNA, FRIDAY.

A numerous corps d'armee was reviewed here
to-day on the Schmelzer practising-ground in the
presence of the Emperor.
The troops were most enthusiastic.

The formation of a new battalion of Grenadiers
to ba attached to the army in Italy, and the aug-
mentation of already existing battalions by calling
in conscripts, &c., has been decided on.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says :
—"According to a letter I have received from Vienna
the Minister of Finance has declared that unless the
present war preparations are suspended national
bankruptcy will soon follow. The military party urge
the Emperor immediately to commence hostilities,
and suddenly march on Turin. The Emperor is said
to be convinced that this is the only way to settle
the Italsan question.' Perhaps it may settle the
existence of the Austrian empire also! At all
events it seems within probability that finance may
fight for Piedmont and gain the battle. Rest as-
sured Piedmont will not disarm with the enemy in
her face. It does not appear, as far as I can learn,
that any of the great Powers support the demands
of Austria to disarm Piedmont. We therefore
make little progress in the preliminary arrange-
ments for a Congress"
London, England, 1859-04-09

LEITH BURGHS.

A communication was received on Thursday from
Mr. Robertson Gladstone, delining the invitation
to stand for these burghs. The same day the

London, who contested the burghs in 1852, signi-
fying his intention of again becoming a candidate.
A meeting of Mr. Miller's supporters was held in
the evening.

LINLITHGOW (COUNTY OF).
As the Lord Advocate, Mr. Charles Baillie, who
was elected for this county only two months ago,
is to be elevated to the Scottish bench, to fill the
vacancy caused by Lord Murray's death, the field
is left clear in this county. Captain Walter Hamil-
ton has been spoken of as his probable successor,
and it is not likely that the county will be con-
tested with the Conservatives.

MR. THOMAS DUNCOMBE.

-
We are gratified to hear that in testimony Of
the high esteem which the electors of Finsbury
entertain for their veteran representative, Mr'
Thomas Duncombe, they will, in consideration 01,
his infirm state of health, re-elect the hon. gentlir
man without expecting him to address them in public
meetings, as is usual in such cases. Morning
Advertiser.

RETIREMENT OF MR. TV. WILLIAMS,

M.P. TOR LAMBETH.

The country generally will, we are sure, skate
in the regret with which we announce the retire'
ment of Mr. W. Williams, not only from the
representation of Lambeth, but from public life.
And that regret will be increased 'when We
add, that the resolution to which the hon•
gentleman has come, is the result of failing
health. Let us hope that the health of Mr.
Williams may be speedily restored, and that 11°
may yet live long to look back on as consistent
public career as has been witnessed in modern
times. He has for nearly thirty years been
the zealous and uniform friend of Liberal principles,
and the untiring promoter of the cause of popular
progress. Through good report and evil repo*
the hon. gentleman has faithfully adhered to his
principles. Neither the seductions of power, n?,r
.
the sarcasms cf those who had no sympathies
with
the people, ever for a moment succeeded in inducing
Mr. Williams to falter in his fidelity to the cause
of Liberalism, or to divert him from its advocacy'
Had the state of the hon. gentleman's health per'
mitted him to solicit a renewal of the suffrages 64
the electors of Lambeth, not only would he have
had our hearty support, but we would have guY
ranteed to him a triumphant return, no matter by
whom he might have been opposed. But as pro'
vidence has ordered it otherwise, we can only say'
that not only will our friendship and sympathies,
but the friendship and sympathies of his country'
men—wherever uniform consistency of conduct and
incorruptible integrity
of character can be ape:
ciated—follow him into the sanctuary of privat'
life.llforning Advertiser.
London, England, 1859-04-09

CENTRAL INDIA AND RAJPOOTANA.

It is reported that Tantia Topee, under the name
of Ram Singh, left the rebel camp near Bikaneer,
and with 10 leading men and 300 followers, joined
Rajah Maun Sing at Narwar, in Scindia's territory.
It is supposed that he intends making for Jaloun,
in Bundlecund.

The main body of the rebels under Feroze Shah,
the Rao, and tho Nawab of Kummora, were, by last
accounts, making for the jungles of Banswarra.
They have been beaten back from the Jeplee pass,
with the loss of one of their leaders, by a guard of
the Mairwarra battalion. They are said to number
about 3,000, including camp followers. Brigadier
Somerset is in close pursuit, and overtures of sur-
render have been made to him on the part of some
of the rebel leaders.

Three hundred rebel cavalry, under Paezooi
Alice, the principal officer of Feroze Shah, sur.
rendered at Simput on the 27th of February.

made his appearance. An address has been issued
by Mr. Hardy, who was sent down expressly by
his party to expound the Government policy, and
animadvert upon the conduct of the Liberal party.

ITALY.

A Naples letter of the 3d says :—" A second
series of prayers have been ordered by Cardinal
Riario Sforza to be offered up in all the churches
of this city for the prompt recovery of his Majesty,
and,the relics of the, patrott-iaint of Naples have
been exposed to the veneration of the faithful ; the
miracle of Saint Januarius has not been attempted
this year, as several foreign journals have stated.
The portfolio of justice has been given pro-
visionally to M. Scorsi, director of eccle-
siastical affairs ; M. Picuati, the late minister,
whose death has been already announced, will
not be definitely replaced for the present. That
gentleman's death, the reception given to the
Neapolitan exiles in London, and all other events
likely to cause strong emotion, have been con-
cealed from the King. The Grand Duchess Con-
stantina has been for the last few days confined to
the Palace of Chintamonte by indisposition, but
happily it is not of a serious character. The Rus-
sian steam corvette the Baian has entered the dock
at the arsenal to undergo repair, and the Rattvisan,
screw liner, is in the port of Castellamare. The
greatest activity prevails in the naval arsenal ; for
the last month three corvettes, Il Generosa, Il
Valoroso, and Il Intrepido have been occupied in
carrying guns and ammunition to the forts on the
coast of Sicily, particularly to Syracuse.

THEAT.RE • _ROYAL LYCEUM.

The pressure upon our cohimns from political and other
important matters has prevented our hitherto noticing Mr.
F. Kingsbury's benefit and 'the first appearance of Miss
Clara St. Casse, which took place last Monday.
Miss St. Casse is a pupil of Mr. Kingsbury, and the
success which she undoubtedly achieved in the part of
Maritana reflects equal credit on herself and on her able
and judicious maestro. Considering her extreme youth
(for we believe Miss St. Casse is not more than 18), and
the nervousness almost necessarily inseparable from a
first appearance, we have no reason to hesitate in pro-
nouncing the fair debutante of Monday last as having
quite fulfilled the expectations that were entertained re-
specting her, and we feel convinced, with time, experience,
and a few months more study and practice, she will be
among the best of our dramatic vocalists. Her appear-
ance, too, on the stage is much in her favour, for her
figure, -though petite, l light and graceful, and her—face
beams with animation. The parts of Charles the Second
anal Don Cesar de Bazan were very creditably performed by
Mr. Augustus and Mr. Hamilton Braham.
Miss St. Casse and Mr. F. Kingsbury were called for on
the termination of the opera, and received quite an enthu-
siastic ovation.

Three astonishing children, of the name of Delapierre,
and aged respectively four, six, and eight years, astonished
the audience by their marvellous performances on the
violin ; after which a. ballet and farce, at a somewhat late
hour, brought the entertainment to a close.
London, England, 1859-04-09

MAIDSTONE.

The Conservative party have brought• forward
Mr. Egerton V. Harcourt, son of the late Archbishop
of York, and Mr. J. Wardlaw, of Langdon, near
Maldon, Essex, to fill the places of Mr. Beresford
Hope, who has become a candidate for the Univer-
sity of Cambridge, and Major Scott, who does not
intend to offer himself for re-election. Both of the
above gentlemen have issued addresses to the elec-
tors. Mr. W. Lee, the Liberal candidate, is actively
and successfully prosecuting his canvass, and there
is little doubt another candidate will be brought
forward on the same side.
