REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH.--On Saturday a
requisition. numerously signed, was presented to David
Williams Wire, Esq., Under-Sheriff of the city of London,

palling on that gentleman to allow himself to be put in no-
mination as a candidate for the borough of Lambeth, in the
room of Charles Pearson, Esq., resigned. Benjamin Hawes,
Esq., the Member for Kinsale, who so many years repre-
sented Lambeth in Parliament, will be put in nomination.
John Hinds Palmer, Esq., and W. Williams, Esq., the late
Member for Coventry, have declared themselves candidates.
So likewise has Mr. Cooper, Q.C., and also Alderman
S alomons.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.--The
Act of Parliament for making this railway having received
the Royal assent, the board of directors have just issued a
report to the proprietors, in which they state that only about
one-sixteenth of the required capital, or little more than
20,0001., remains to be raised, in order to enable them at
Once to set about this important work. The directors had
hoped that this portion of the required capital would be con-
tributed by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company,
but it is understood that circumstances prevent that com-
pany from making that contribution at the present time.
The directors have confirmed the contract entered into with
Mr. Brassev, who has undertaken to construct and deliver
the whole line from Shrewsbury to Hereford for 345,8`22/.,
including the electric telegraph, which is, it is said, a less
sum than the cost of any other railway in the kingdom
similarly circumstanced. It is therefore contemplated that
the work will be proceeded with without delay.

Finn AT Tail WEST-END.—On Saturday afternoon
a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Joseph
Binder, a carpenter, builder, and house agent, No. 75, Park-
:And, Grosven. r-square. The flames commenced in the
ware-room on the ground floor, but from what cause is un-
known. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock, the
fire spread with surprising rap.dity, and very quickly the
workshop on the firs-, floor, and a spacious store-room over,
b.came enveloped in flames. From those points the confla-
gration extended to the timber-yard, and also to the back
part of the private dwelling-house, and did considerable
mage. Mr. Binder was insured.

SANITARY ItEroßnm : " WITT WILL YE DIE !"--

How much longer shall we alto:- 15,000 persons to be an-
nually cut eff; unnaturally and prematurely, in this gay and
wealthy metropolis? How much longer shall the pain,
misery, and waste of money, consequent on the want of
proper sanitary arrangements, be borne and suffered? We
have often asked the question ; we have long endeavoured by
all the me ms in our power to convince the public, how
notch misery and loss might be prevented by simple and com-
paratively inexpensive measures, and we must continue to do
so as the best mode of bringing about the changes so much
to be desired. " Let it be remembered that a sickly popu-
lation is one of the most costly burdens of a state. Health is
the poor man's capital in trade ; and whatever deteriorates
that entails a direct lose, and eventually a heavy money
charge, upon the community. The enormous amount of
poverty and destitution in this country, and the consequent
necessity for an impost of nearly 8,000,000/. sterling annually
for its relief, are i❑ a great measure due to the pauperizing
effects of preventible disease." But these are not the only
social evils involved in this important inquiry. The localities
that are the nurseries of sickness and death, are almost in-
variably found to be the haunts of immorality and crime.
Filth and squalor are as productive of moral debasement a 9 of
physical deprivation ; the two natures of man are so intimately
connected, that the defilement of the one is generally asso-
ciated with pollution of the other.—Builder.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-I'llE ATRAPILATORY, OR Li-
QUID liMit DYE.—The only die that really answers for all
colours, and does not require re-doing but as the hair grows,
as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint
common to all other dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the
greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible ;
and ladies or gentlemen requiring it are requested, if conve-
nient, to have it done the first time at their establishment,
which will, enable them to use it afterwards themselves
without the chance of failure. They think it necessary to
add that, by attending strictly to the instructions given with
the dye, numerous parties have succeeded equally well with-
out coming to them. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120,

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Abscesses, Piles, Fistulas,
and Ulcerous Sores can be cured by using Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills.—The very satisfactory results arising from the
use of this invaluable ointment, in cases where patients have been
suffering from abscesses, ulcers, piles, and fistulas, or bearings
down, have induced several of the medical profession, eminent
for their skill, to introduce it into the hospitals and their pri-
vate practice, and in many instances where the sufferer was
considered incurable Holloway's Ointment, in conjunction with
hi% Pills, has healed the most desperate wounds after every
other remedy had been tried in vain. There is no medicine
known that can equal it for the cure of scrofula, scurvy, and
diseases of the skin.—Sold by all Druggists, aid at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL

This Bill passed through Committee.
CANTERBURY SETTLEMENT LANDS BILL.
This Bill passed through Committee.
BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.

Lord EDDISBURY moved the second reading of this
Bill.

L, 1.1 MONTEAGLE objected to these partial and
temporary repeals of the usury laws, and thought the
subject should be legislated for permanently.
Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with his Noble
Friend who had last spoken. He thought som, perma-
nent change in the law was absolutely necessary. He
believed that the practical effect of the usury laws was
to raise the rate of interest to the landowner who wanted
to raise money on mortgage.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE agreed that this Bill
Was a Bill in favour of the landed proprietors.—(Hear,
hear, from Lord Brougham.) No inconvenience
had resulted from the suspension of the usury laws.
As this Bill had come up from the other House in its
present state, he would not interfere with it; but he be-
lieved it was regarded by all persons as absurd to attempt
to revert to the old hsury laws.
The. Bill was then read a second time.
PROVISION FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES.—
MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then brought down
a message from her Majesty, recommending that Marl-
borough-house should be settled on the Prince of Wale.]
after he shall have attained eighteen years of age. He
gave notice that he should tomorrow call the attention
of the House to this subject.
