BIRMINGHAIL-At the great meeting of Liberals held on
Monday night, one of the speakers implored the electors
not to be misled by any rumours that might come out at
half-past eight or half-past nine on the day of
polling. The Liberal committee (he said) would
take care to issue a state of the poll every ten minutes.
Don't let them be deceived ; let them vote as they were
told ; and if, at two or three o'clock, their illustrious
friend Mr. Bright was behind they would give him such
a pushing up that would send him, perhaps, a great deal
higher than he (the speaker) should like him to be. He
wished the three Liberals to be equal at four o'clock.

(SANDWICH.—Mr. Capper, the present Conservative
member, has retired in favour of Mr. Worms, the other
Conservative candidate. The Liberal candidates are Mr.
Knatchbull-Hugessen and Mr. Henry Brassey.
BRIGHTON.—The Herald states that Mr. Moor, who
believes that the disestablishment of the Irish Church
would tend to remove much of the discontent in Ireland,
will receive the undivided support of the Conservative
party. It is rumoured that Mr. Coningham has resigned
in favour of the two Liberal members.

HERTFORDSHIRE. —Mr. Henry R. Brand;nephew of Lord
Dacre, and son of Mr. H. Brand, M.P., has come forward
as the second Liberal candidate for Hertfordshire. The
two Liberal candidates have just issued their addresses
to the electors. The announcement of Mr. Brand's
canvass has given the greatest satisfaction to the Liberal
party in Hertfordshire, where Lord Dacre is extremely
popular.
EAST SURREY.—Mr. James Lord, of Wandsworth, and
Mr. William Hardman, of Norbiton Hall, have issued
their addresses in the Conservative interest in opposition
to Messrs. Locke King and Buxton. Mr. Hardman says:
"I am strongly opposed to Mr. Gladstone's scheme for
the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish
branch of the English Church ; but, at the same time,
I would not withhold my support from any well-con-
sidered plan—conceived in a friendly spirit—for its
reform."

DIIBLIN.-Sir Dominic Corrigan has been selected, at a
meeting of the Liberal party, to stand for the city in con-
junction with Mr. Pim. Mr. Ball, the Solicitor• General
for Ireland, has addressed the electors of the University
of Dublin.

PONTEFRACT.—Lord Pollington, the eldest son of the
Earl of Mexborough, has issued an address to the electors
and non-electors of this borough. His lordship alludes to
the ancient connection existing between his family and
the borough, and declares his intention to offer himself as
a candidate at the next election after the forthcoming

one.

BANBURY.—Although there is a split in the Liberal
camp, the Conservatives do not intend to bring forward a
candidate. Mr. Samuelson (L.) the sitting member, is
opposed by Mr. Mewburn.

addresied his constituents on Monday night. In the course
of his remarks upon the Irish Church, General Forester

Catholic—a, statement which was greeted with mingled
cheers and hisses.

It is announced that the Duke of Genoa, son of the
King of Italy, is going to Eton.
Lord and Lady Chelmsford and Hon. Miss
Tbasiger have been staying with the Earl and Countess of
Derby at Knowsley.
On Monday five more of the bodies of the per-
Eons lost in 1866 at the Oaks Colliery were recovered—four
boys and one man. Only one of the bodies was identified.
It was that of Challenger, of Cliffe Bridge.

The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minis-
or, will visit Birmingham about the end of November, and
be entertained at a public dinner. The invitation has been
given by Mr. A. Field, Vice-President of the Chamber of
Commerce, and was at once accepted by Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Disraeli has been pleased to direct that the
widow of Dr. Stevelly, formerly Professor of Natural Phi-
losophy in Queen's College, Belfast, shall receive an imme-
diate grant of £lOO from the Royal bounty, in consideration
of the important services rendered to science during a long
period of years by her late husband.

the city of Manchester was laid. Tho building, which will
be one of the most magnificent municipal buildings, is ex-
pected to cost upwards of half a million of money. It will
be erected iu the Gothic style of architecture, from designs
by Mr. Waterhouse, and will contain 250 rooms.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF A RAILWAY TRAIN.

—A very extraordinary incident occurred during the storm
at Hartlepool on Saturday night, by which a passenger
train narrowly escaped destruction. Between the two
Hartlepools is a short line of railway, with only one pair
of metals, which takes a circuitous route on the further
side of the docks, passing also, in its course, a large piece
of tidal waste, called Middleton Slake. On the banks of
that Slake, and at the close of the herring season, many
fishermen lay up their cobles for the winter months ; and
on Saturday a row of these boats lay, keel uppermost, on
its banks, just at the point where it is closely skirted
by the railway in question. While the gale was at its
worst, between nine and ten o'clock, a fisherman, to whom
one of the cobles belong, went to see if all was right with
the boats, and, on his arrival, found one of them had been
carried by the wind and deposited fairly across the line of
rails, upon which in about half an hour the last train from
West Hartlepool to Old Hartlepool was due.. This train
is usually crowded with passengers, and had it encountered
the obstruction it would in all probability have been pre-
cipitated into the Slake, into which the rising tide had
flowed to the depth of three or four feet. Knowing in
what peril the train would be placed, the fisherman ran off
for help, and soon returning with four comrades, they
dragged the coble off the line but a few rolauteehefer9 the
