LEWES.

The Right Hon. Henry Fitzroy, the Chairman
of Committees in the House of Commons, and the
Hon. H. Brand (both Liberals), the two sitting
members, have offered themselves for re-election.
Their seats are to be contested by Sir Charles
Blunt and Mr. R. P. Amphlett, on whose behalf an
active canvass has been set on foot.

LINCOLNSHIRE (SOUTH.)
Mr. Anthony \Vinson, who was returned with
Sir John Trollope at the last election, has retired,
and left the new candidate, Mr. Packe, in posses-
sion of the field. Mr. Packe belongs to the Liberal
party, and thus, in the event of his return, one vote
is here lost to the Derby Government.

WORCESTER.

The Council of the Worcester Parliamentary and
Financial Reform Association have passed a resolu-
tion of thanki to the sitting members, Mr. Laslett
and Mr. Ricardo, for the good service rendered by
them in voting against the Government Reform
Bill, which they consider wholly inadequate to the
occasion, mainly because it failed to make any, but
the most paltry and delusive provision for the .ex-
tension of the franchise in cities and boroughs.
They are to, invite the non-electors to use their
influence to dispose the voters generally to co-
operate with the association, in order to obtain the
privilege of voting for the unenfranchised multi-
tude.

der that he could ever have hoped to pass his bill.
The opposition of Lord John Russell was said to
have been factious, but the noble lord's course was
taken immediately after the introduction of the
bill, when he got up and expressed those senti-
ments which he afterwards put into a resolution.
Adverting to the ballot, Mr. Young said he had
always been of opinion that electi mis should be
conducted on that principle, having witnessed its
successful, quiet, and peaceable application in
Australia, where intimidation and bribery were
unknown, because every man was independent.
The hon. member, in conclusion, stated that the
promises of support tendered to Mr. Watkin and
himself, after six days' canvass, were more nume-
rous than those given to Mr. Watkin and Mr.
M'Cullagh in 1857, after 14 days' canvass. (Cheers.)
In the course of the proceedings it was stated
that Mr. M'Cullagh had abandoned all idea of
offering himself as a candidate for the borough.

field on Tuesday last—tho Hon. Edwin Lascelles
in the chair—it was resolved that the Riding should
be contested by the Conservative party, and that
the Hon. James Stuart Wortley be requested to
come forward. The general feeling of the meeting
was in favour of Sir John Ramsden for the Liberals,
and the Hon. Stuart Wortley for the Conservatives,
and, should Mr. Crossley persist in a contest, it is
highly probable that Mr. Stanhope will be brought

great influence, this will probably be the case.

a second address to the electors, thanking them for
their kind reception. Mr. Hardy attended a large

length on the political topics of the day. Mr. Han-

MONTROSE BURGHS.

Mr. W. E. Baxter, in addressing the electors,
postpones a full statement of his sentiments till he
meets them, as he purposes to do on an early day ;
but meanwhile he stigmatises the defeated Derby
Reform Bill as " an attempt to restore to the terri-
torial aristocracy part of the power which they lost
in "'32," and he pledges himself that his support
will be given "to no Ministry unprepared to deal
with the Reform question in a liberal spirit." It is
probable Mr. Baxter will walk the course.

STIRLING (COUNTY).
Mr. Peter Blackburn, the Scotch Lord of the
Treasury, again offers himself for Stirlingshire, and
in an address to the electors expresses his regret
that a bill founded on such fair and liberal views
as the late Government measure of Reform, should
have been defeated by faction, without any attempt
to improve in committee any imperfect details that
might be found in it. No opposition is offered.

PEEBLES (COUNTY).
Sir Graham Montgomery again comes forward
for Peeblesshire, and no opposition is indicated.
He states that, should he be again returned, he
shall feel it his duty "to support Lord Derby's
Government in their endeavour to carry a safe,
moderate, and constitutional measure of Parliamen-
tary reform."

NEWCASTLE-APRIL 12.

A tolerable supply of wheat, but there was a dull feeling
in the trade, and all good qualities realised the rates of
last week. There was not much doing in oats, barley,
and beans, and prices were without change. Flour held
for higher rates; business trifling. Peas moved off slowly.
Some inquiry for foreign wheat, but trade was flat.

CHILL

The advices from Chili yesterday show that the
political distractions in that country are still unsup-
pressed. It appears, however, that an outbreak at
Va'paraiso had just been effectually met by the
Government. The present year commenced with
very good prospects for the Republic. An abundant
harvest gave every probability of cheap food, and a
good demand prevailed for almost all articles of
export. But the tendency to anarchy which has
since developed itself will for along time be severely
felt. The revolutionary movement commenced in
Copaipo, headed by Pedro Leon Gallo, and was fol-
lowed by similar outbreaks at Talca and Concepcion.
At the present moment, Talca, Copiapo, Caldera,
and Huasco are in the hands of the insurgents. The
former town is besieged by General Garcia, at the
head of 1,500 Government troops. Currico, Chillan,
and San Felipe are or have been the scenes of dis-
turbances, and in the South the crops, unhoused, are
left without protection. The Government, however,
although singularly isolated, are very determined,
and are expected to triumph in the end, although
they may have to fight in detail through the whole
country. The strangest feature is said to be that
there seems no principle for which the revolu-
tionists are contending ; neither is there any chief
round whom they rally. The entire conflict ap-
pears to have arisen through personalities, fomented
' in f" great measure by the ecclesiastics, who have
Ibeen de.^..dlv enemies of the Government since the
trial of theArd;.Wshop of Santiago, two years ago.

LONDON.

An address has been issued on the part of the
committee of Liberal electors of London, urging
the re-election of the present members. This
address expresses " unfeigned regret" that Mr.
Thomas Baring should, by the injudicious zeal of
political partisans, be placed even in momentary
antagonism with any part of the community, and
deprecates the idea of excluding Lord John Russell
in order to make way for a Tory Cabinet Minister.
Reformers are cautioned against giving even a
single vote to a Tory. In this address the Ministry
is called a "mere provisional Tory Government."

roturned without opposition.

MAIDSTONE.

Mr. Charles Buxton, the present member for
Newport, has offered himself as a candidate in the
Liberal interest for the representation of this
borough, in conjunction with Mr. W. Lee. A most
enthusiastic reception was given to Mr. Buxton at
a meeting held in the Corn Exchange on Tuesday
evening, at which about 1,500 persons were pre-
sent. The hon. gentleman condemned the late
Government Reform Bill, and avowed himself an
advocate for a • liberal extension of the franchise,
the adoption of the ballot, the abolition of church-
rates, the promotion of education, and economy in
the naval and military expenditure of the country,
consistent with a due regard to efficiency. At the
conclusion of his address a resolution pledging the
meeting to use their utmost exertions to secure the
return of both Liberal candidates, was unanimously
carried, and the meeting separated with the most
encouraging prospects of success.

LEWES.

The Right Hon. Henry Fitzroy, the Chairman
of Committees in the House of Commons, and the
Hon. H. Brand (both Liberals), the two sitting
members, have offered themselves for re-election.
Their seats are to be contested by Sir Charles
Blunt and Mr. R. P. Amphlett, on whose behalf an
active canvass has been set on foot.

LINCOLNSHIRE (SOUTH.)
Mr. Anthony Wilson, who was returned with
Sir John Trollope at the last election, has retired,
and left the new candidate, Mr. Packe, in posses-
sion of the field. Mr. Packe belongs to the Liberal
party, and thus, in the event of his return, one vote
is here lost to the Derby Government.

LONDON.

An address has been issued on the part of the
committee of Liberal electors of London, urging
the re-election of the present members. This
address expresses " unfeigned regret" that Mr.
Thomas Baring should, by the injudicious zeal of
political partisans, be placed even in momentary
antagonism with any part of the community, and
deprecates the idea of excluding Lord John Russell
in order to make way for a Tory Cabinet Minister.
Reformers are cautioned against giving even a
single vote to a Tory. In this address the Ministry
is called a "mere provisional Tory Government."

MAIDSTONE.

Mr. Charles Buxton, the present member for
Newport, has offered himself as a candidate in the
Liberal interest for the representation of this
borough, in conjunction with Mr. W. Lee. A most
enthusiastic reception was given to Mr. Buxton at
a meeting held in the Corn Exchange on Tuesday

the naval and military expenditure of the country,
consistent with a due regard to efficiency. At the

London, England, 1859-04-14

MONTROSE BURGHS.

Mr. W. E. Baxter, in addressing the electors,
postpones a full statement of his sentiments till he
meets them, as he purposes to do on an early, day ;
but meanwhile he stigmatises the defeated Derby
Reform Bill as " an attempt to restore to the terri-
torial aristocracy part of the power which they lost
in "'32," and he pledges himself that his support
will be given "to no Ministry unprepared to deal
with the Reform question in a liberal spirit." It is
probable Mr. Baxter will walk the course.

STIRLING (COUNTY).
Mr. Peter Blackburn, the. Scotch Lord of the
Treasury, again offers himself for Stirlingshire, and
in an address to the electors expresses his regret
that a bill founded on such fair and liberal views
as the late Government measure of Reform, should
have been defeated by faction, without any attempt
to improve in committee any imperfect details that
might be found in it. No opposition is offered.

PEEBLES (COUNTY).
Sir Graham Montgomery again comes forward
for Peeblesshire, and no opposition is indicated.
He states that, should he be again returned, he
shall feel it his duty "to support Lord Derby's
Government in their endeavour to carry a safe,
moderate, and constitutional measure of Parliamen-
tary reform."
London, England, 1859-04-14

fling was entitled to their thanks. (Hear, hear.) Lord
Elphinstone was not placed in a position of the same diffi•
culty and responsibility; but he had exhibited vigilance
and sagacity in the presidency entrusted to him, and few
Presidents could return to this country with a fame more
enhanced. (Hear, hear.) Lord Harris's name did not
appear in the list which he had submitted to the house.
However, there could be no doubt that he had done his
duty ; but the object of the vote which he proposed to the
house was not a tribute of their thanks for services gene-
rally performed, but for the particular services rendered by
those who occupied a prominent position in suppressing the
mutiny in India. It was on that ground solely that the
gallant and noble lord's name was not included. Sir
James Laird had rendered most eminent service during the
outbreak, and notwithstanding the injuries his constitution
had sustained, he refused to give up his government until
his services were no longer required. He had arrived
within the last few days in this country, and would take
his place at the board, where his knowledge would prove
most advantageous to the interests of this country in the
government of India. He hoped the reception which woul.d
be given him in this country would show thehighestimafion
that was entertained of his splendid services. (H ear,
hear.) With reference to Colonel Dickinson whose name
did not appear on the list, he would speak in terms of the
highest laudation. Lord Clyde had acquired half a cen-
tury's reputation. which made his name familiar both in
Europe and Asia. His conduct during the eighteen
months in the Crimea exhibited the same cool-
ness, courage, intrepidity and decision, that
characterised him in China and the Crimea. (Hear, hear.)
In those criticisms which are made respecting military
matters by those interested in them, he never heard a mis-
take imputed to Lord Clyde. The only hint that he heard
detrimental to his reputation was that he occasionally ex-
hibited timidity in employing too large a force. But,
independent of the humanity which such a course
indicated, it might also be necessary, as a
mutter of policy in India. Having referred to the
gallant services of the other officers named in the list, he
alluded to those who had fallen in the discharge of their
duty. Amongst these were Major Hodson and Sir Wm.
Peel, to whom the noble lord paid an eloquent and feeling
tribute, and concluded by formally moving the resolution.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

ROUSE OF LORDS.
APPEAL.—SMITII V. KAY.—JUDGMENT.
It will be remembered that this is an appeal from a de-
cree of the Master of the Rolls, cancelling and setting aside
a bond for £12,564 10s., vitiated on 12th April, 18.54, by
the respondent Kay to the appellant Smith, on the ground
of minority, want of valuable consideration, fraud, and
misrepresentation.
The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Master
of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
Lord Cranworth and Lord Kingsdown entirely con-
curred with the Lord Chancellor in being of opi-
nion that the fraud and misrepresentation had been
completely proved, and that there was no obligation what-
ever on the respondent, Mr. Kay, to pay the appellant
Smith, Johnstone, or Adams, or any other oue farthing
more than actually went into bis pocket, and nothing 'was
due.
Lord Wensleydale entertained some doubts as to whether
the fraud was proved at the time of granting the bonds in
question; but upon all the other points in the cause he
entirely concurred with his noble and learned friends who
had just delivered their opinions. _
IThe decree of the Master of the Rolls was affirmed, and
I the appeal dimissed with costs.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary Sir Creswell Cresswell.)-
SYMES V. GREEN.
The farther hearing of this part-heard cause was re-
sumed this morning. This was a testamentary cause, in
which the question in dispute was, whether the late Cap-
tainNott, of the 83d Regiment, was of testamentary capacity
on Ist October, 1857, the date of the execution of his will.
Dr. Addams called and examined the defendant and several
witnesses in opposition to the will.
The learned Judge said he would look through the papers
in the cause, and if he altered his opinion he would in-
form him. Judgment reserved.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN ED LAMPRELL-A CAUTION TO OPPOSING CREDITORS--
London, England, 1859-04-14

A DAY TOO LATE.

---. _
To-day was appointed fora certificate meeting in the
case of this bankrupt, a timber merchant, &c., 'in Long-
lane, City.
Mr. Lowrance, for the assignees, did not oppose, but said
that it would be a matter for the Court to decide as to
whether the certificate should be granted. The creditors
generally had no objection to a certificate being granted,
but the question was -whether it should be of the second or
third class.
Mr. Norton, for an fadividual creditor, opposed.
Mr. Lowrance objected to the opposition as notice had
not been given in due time, being one day too late. He
considered the rule as to notice ought to be rigidly observed
in cases where individual creditors took objection.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third

class.
An application was then made for a return of the fees de-
posited on the application for the certificate to be returned
to the bankrupt.
The debth are stated at £321; liabilities, £1,381; assets,
about £2OO. The liabilities are on acceptances given with-
out consideration for Chas. Woolterton, ironmonger, atßo a
bankrupt.

His Honour—You have not pleaded that. I cannot
entertain either defence, and you must pay at ss. per month.

In this case the debt was as old as 1851, and defendant
wished to plead the " Statute of Mitigation." (Roars of
laughter.)
His Honour—You mean the Statute of Limitation. You
have not pleaded it, and must pay.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—There was an accident at
the Hertford station of the Welwyn lino on Saturday after-
noon last. The 4 p.m up-train (consisting of an engine
with single driving wheel, three passenger carriages, better
filled than usual, it being Hertford fair-clay, and six loaded
trucks) was about to leave the station, which is situato in
a hollow, with a steep incline either way.
aired the custom
sometimes to back the train on starting ; the impetus
thus acquired helps the train up the next ascent. rep to
instance the driver found on starting that the load was too
much for the engine, and the train after proceeding a shor!
distance backed towards the station into sonno trucks, and
the collision caused serious damage both to persons and
property

progress. In 1846 sixty-seven men, in 1857 seventy-
two ran in 100 wrote their names ; thn proportion
of women writing rose) in the same period, from
52 to 61. The progtess of the women has been
greater than the progress of the men ; and in the
following counties the women who write exceed the
men in proportion :—Surrey (out of London), Sus-
sex, Berkshire, Hertfordshire Oxfordshire, Hunt-
ingdonshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Wilts, Here-
fordshire, and Rutlandshire. In other points of
learning the women also probably excel the men.
In Bedfordshire the women are very illiterate;
only 51 in 100 ',who marry write their names. In
Cornwall only 55 in 100 write their names. In Staf-
fordshire the " blackness of darkness" hangs over
the people ; less than half, or only 45 in 100
women write their names. Cheshire is bad (50) ;
but the women in Lancashire are unhappily kept
in still thicker darkness, for 44 only in 100 write
their names. In the est Riding of Yorkshire
less than 50 in 100 women write their names. The
Welsh will labour under some disadvantages until
they all learn the English language in infancy; of the
women in Monmouthshire only 44, in North Wales
only 43, and in South Wales only 38 in 100 who
married, wrote their names.

In the northern counties the employments inter-
fered largely with the attendance at schools ; but
we may hope that arrangements will be made, by
the educated classes in the worst counties, to con•
fer the blessings of education upon their less en-
lightened neighbours.
BUILDINGS REGISTERED FOR THE SOLEMNISA-
TION OF MARRIAGES.—The number of places of
public worship registered for the solemmsltion of
marriages, and on the register, on the 31st Decem-
ber, 1857, was 3,925, being an increase of one bun-
dred and fourteen during the year. 1,342 of these
places of worship belonged to the Independents,
882 to the Baptists, 697 to the various sects of Wes-
leyan Methodists, and 490 to the Roman Catholics.
Of the modern sects, the New Church had 21, and
the Catholic and Apostolic Church 16. In London
there were 263 registered buildings, in Lancashire
430 (of which number the Roman Catholics had
112), and in Monmouthshire and Wales, where Dis-
senters are more numerous than in any other divi-
sion 594. Including 12,272 churches and chapels
belonging to the Church. of England, the places of
worship wherein marriages might be solemnised
amounted at the end of 1857 to 16,197, besides the
Jewish synagogues and Quakers' meeting houses.
There were, in addition, 629 Superintendent Regis-
trars' Offices for the celebration of civil marriages.

iniEerman. The remains of the deceased were
conveyed to the place of interment on the usual
military bier, a gun-carriage covered with a union
jack. On a small black cushion, placed on the bed
of the coffin, were laid the decorations won by the
deceased, together with his busbie and sword ; and
at his head and feet a garland and wreath of int-
mortelles. The whole of the Artillery and Engineer
troops not otherwise engaged were in attendance,
and the escort, marching four abreast with arms
reversed, consisted of 100 rank and file, in corn-
mand of Major S. P. Pennycuick and one subaltern
officer. The full band of the Royal Artillery
headed the procession, performing with peculiar
effect " The Dead March in Saul," and the two
bands of the Royal Marines and the Royal
Horse Artillery followed the bier. Major-Gen. Sir
R. Dacres, K.C.8., accompanied by a numerous
body of his own officers and those of other corps in
garrison, attended as a mark of especial respect to
deceased. Col. Walpole, commanding Royal Engi-
neers ; Col. Stransham, commandant of Woolwich
division of Royal Marines ; Col. Hopkins, R.M.,
C-8., and many others, were likewise present, the
whole of whom attended on foot, and formed the
rear of the cortege.
The East Essex Rifle Militia, under the com-
mand of the Hon. C. H. Maynard, whose enrolment
was postponed on account of the harvest, will as-

ment, under the command of Lieut.• Col Brise, will

loss till the 10th of August. There were some cir-
cumstances which led the defendants to suspect
that the insurance was void, but the evidence did
not confirm their suspicion. The freight having been
over-insured, the jury would, if they found a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs, give such proportion of the
sum insured as had been adjusted on the other
policy. £24 hal been paid into court.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—
