SHIPPIN Gt RETURNS.

The shipping statistics of the Board of Trade for the
month ending the 30th of April show a falling oft in the
number of arrivals, owing to a long continuance of ad-
verse winds. The clearances present an increase com-
mensurate with tbat in the declared value of our expor-
tations. Subjoined are the general figures :

in 1856 it was 1,036,261 ; and in the present return
it is 1,108,256 , including 37 foreign vessels, of an ag-
gregate burden of 5,389 tons. The clearances out•
ward were 1,087,478 in April, 1855 ; 1,100,153 in

THE BRPRESIENTATIOT OF LEEDS,—The deputation
from the Conservative Association, which went up to
London on Saturday, returned to Leads on Monday
afternoon. An interview was had with Mr. Cardwell ;
but, while thanking the deputation for the honour done
him in giving him the invitation, he declined to stand as
a candidate. This decision Mr. Cardwell said he had ar-
rived at in consequence of his preaent position in respect
to the Oxford election petition. He considers himself
pretty certain of unseating Mr. Neste, who was returned
for that city at the late election, and he therefore declines
Contesting an important borough like Leeds. Another
meeting of the Conservative party was held on Monday
afternoon. The names of several gentlemen were men-
tioned, and their relative_ merits canvassed ; but it
was ultimately agreed to place George Skirrow Bee-
croft, Eq., of Kirkstall, in nomination. Mr. Beecroft
was the chairman of Mr. Robert Hall'acommittee at the
recent election, and has long been identified with the
conservative cause in Leeds. On Monday night, Mr.
Beecroft published his address, in which he says his poli-
tical principles are those of a moderate conservative.
During Monday, Mr. Mills addressed several ward
meetings. A placard was extensively posted in the town
on Monday at noon, calling upon the electors not to
pledge themselves to Mr. Mills, inasmuch as the meet-
ing of Saturday was not properly constituted. Even if
it had been a fair meeting, the bill goes on to say, it
could not be held to pledge the liberal party to vote for
Mr. Mills. The circulars of admission to the coloured
Cloth Hall Yard are •farther stated to have either not
been delivered at ail to the electors, or to have been
delivered when they were to late to be of service. Con-
siderable excitement prevails in the town, and it is not'
nnlikelythat another liberal candidate may yet be started.
