LAMBETH ELECTION.

candidates for the vacant seats in the borough of
th are now reducedlo two. Mr. Pluton Cooper
;ired, and Mr. Hinde Palmer ceased canvassing on
ftturday, preparatory, it is understood, to his formal
withdrawal. There is to be a contest between Mr.
Willi;ms and Sir C. Napier. The Conservatives are
lookitt, yr out for a candidate, with a view to taking advan-
tage of the division in the Liberal ranks. •
On Saturday night Mr. Williams attended two meet-
ings of the electoral b idy, one held at Wilcock's Assem-
bly Rooms, Newington-causeway, and the other in the
school-room, Great Suffolk-street, in the Borough. At
both the Hon. Gentleman was received with the same
enthusiasum which has characterised his progress
throughout the canvass, and resolutions in his favour
were, as before, unanimously adopted.
A public meeting took place at the Swan Tavern,
Stockwell, and was attended by Admiral Napier, who
during the day had paraded the various districts in an
open barouche, drawn by four creana•coloured horses,
and attended by a gay cortege, the spontaneous aid and
contribution of Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astle3'a Am-
phitheatre.
After Sir Charles Napier had addressed the meeting
to the same effect as his speech at the horns Tavern,
Kninington, on Friday night (and reported in The Sun
of Saturday lust), Mr. KNIGHT moved, and Mr. T.
THORNLEY seconded a restitution, " That the meeting
considered him, Admiral Napier, a proper person to re-
present thz., borough of Lambeth in Parliament."—(Loud
cheers, interrupted by disapprobation.)
Mr. T. B. Batta.Eg moved as an amendment, " That
William Williams is the most fit and
,propor person
to represent the borough of Lambeth.' —(Cheers and
uproar.)
The amendment was seconded by Mr. WILSON, and a
scene of no ordinary tumult and uproar ensu, d. Several
of the adherents of Mr. Williams presented themselves to
address the meeting, but in rain, amid the storm of hisses
and counter-cheers, were their :irons to obtain a hearing.
At length the Chairman put the amendment and resolu-
tion, when the former was declared to be lest, and the
latter carried.

mistry section Dr. George Wilson stated a few unpublished
particulars respecting the character and habits of the late
Dr. Black. Professor Voeliker discoursed on the per-
centage of nitrogen as an index to the nutritive value of
food. Papers were also read by Mr. Henry Taylor on the
chemical composition of the rocks of the coal formation,
and by Mr. J. P. Poule on some amalgams. Mr. J. R.

delivered by Professor Bennet on the passage of blood
through the minute vessels of animals in connexion with
nuitrition.

FATAL OUTRAGE AT PATRINGTOL—An inquest,
adjourned from the previous week, was held on Satur-
day last at Welwick, about two miles from Patrington,
in the East Riding of Yorkshire, before Mr. Iveson,
coroner, on the bodies of four men, who came by their
deaths under the following circumstances :—The Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests are reclaiming from the sea
sevoral hundred acres of land upon Sunk Island, situate at
the mouth of the Humber, and have in their employ on the
island a considerable number of " navvies." Part of these
are Irishmen, and either from some provocation offered, or
to have a monopoly of labour in the district, the English
labourers resolved to drive the others from the island. As-
sembling, therefore, on the 19th ult., they hoisted a dark-
coloured handkerchief as a signal for the attack, and bore
down upon live Irishmen, working together upon the eastern
portion of the island, assailing them violently with sticks and
stones. The poor fellows, taking flight, made fur the watt r's
edge at a point where the ferry-boat plies to the mainlausl at
Welwick. The Waterman happened, however, to Le on the
opposite side, and the Irishmen then, rather than await their
pursuers, plunged into the water, and endeavoured to gain
the shore. Only one of them succeeded in this; the re-
maining four were drowned in sight of the other " navvies,"
who, with a brutality scarcely credible, made no effort to
save them. At low tide the bodies were recovered, and as
already stated, an inquest (to which the reporters of the
press were not admitted) was held upon them, which was
adjourned to Saturday last, when the inquiry was again ad-
journed. The channel over which the deceased attempted
to swim was only from 15 to 20 yards wide, but at the time
of the occurrence a strong tide was flowing. The affair has
made a great sensation in the secluded district in which it
took place.

TITCHFIELD.—We regret that it is our duty to
record the re-appearance of the potato blight. We bad
hoped some two or three weeks since that no trace of the
disease would this year exhibit itself, but we are sadly dis-
appointed. We strongly urge those who have crops, imme-
diately they discover the infection, to remove the haulm, as
this will prevent communication, as well as promise safety to
the esculent. Hampshire Independent.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 2.—The market
has a very firm appearance, and a steady business has been
done since our last report in most descriptions of raw sugar
at full prices. The refined market is dearer. Rum is inquired
for. —Bristol Mercury.

SUNDERLAND NEW DOCK.—On Friday, the 2Gth
ult., the first vessel with a cargo to discharge entered the
new dock at Sunderland. She is a brig named the Brenda,
A 1,:307 tons burden, Wood master, and has just arrived
with a cargo of splendid timbar and deals.—Sunderland
Herald.

MR. HOWITT'S NEW WORK, " THE YEAR BOOK
OF THE COUNTRY ; or, the Field, the Forest, and the
Fire-side." 1 vol., lvith Illustrations.—The world is
always happy to hear from Mr. Howitt concern-
ing " the seasons and their signs"—the g,rden, the
woodland, and their ever-changing shows of beauty

—and the characters and huinoiirs which animate
rural life. He treats of these topics with that affluence
of poetical imagination and experience which there is
no counterfeiting—with that thorough love which, coming
from the heart of the writer, goes direct to the heart of the
reader. The present volume is as fresh in spirit and as rich
in matter as it it were the first of its family. The illustra-
tions by Mr. Foster are excellent. The book is at once wel-
come to read, and goodly to see. It is richly, poetically,
picturesquely various. We cannot doubt its having a wel-
come as wide as its range of contents, and as cordial as the

love of man, and of nature, which every line of it breathes,—
Athenceirm.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThE ATRAPILATORT, OE LI-
QUM HAIR DICE.—The only die that really answers for all
colours, and does not require re-doing but as the Bair 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, Rosa and Sons, 119 and 120,
Bishopsgate-street London

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Another Bad Lest cured by
Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract a of letter from Mr.

James Townley, of No. 1, Catherine-street, Poplar New Town,
dated July 22, 1850. "To Professor Holloway.—Sir —A
sense of gratitude, as well as a wish to benefit the allicted, in•
dimes me to publicly acknowledge the excellent cure your Pills
and Ointment have effected of my bad leg with two wounds in
it, from which I had suffered upwards of three years, and
which it was found impossible to heal until I fortunately tried
your medicines, which soon gave me relief, and new I have as
sound a leg as any man can desire.—Sold by all Druggists and

LIAM/LITT OF CONTRIBUTORIES UNDRR. THE WIND..
Meal" ACT AND THE INSOLVEIIT Comm—The important

question of the liability of contributories for calls under the
Joint Stock Companies Winding-up Act, petitioning for
their discharge under the Insolvent :Debtors Act, came on
last week before Mr. Sergeant Dowling in the County
Court of Yorkshire. Five Insolvents, named Parchon, Bul-

lock, Kerr, Midgley, and Wild, came up to be heard on their
petition for discharge. The opposition was instituted by
Mr. Guodchap, the official manager, at the direction of the
Master in Chancery Kindersley, who had placed the five
petitioners on the list of contributories as promoters, of an
undertaking called the Wesleyan Newspaper Association, the
liabilities in connexion with which amount.to some 7,0001.
A further call of 41. per share had been made. and for non-
payment the insolvents were committed to York'CaStle for
contempt of court. It was contended by counsel for the offi-
cial manner that. by the 88th section of the Joint-Stock
Stock Companies Winding-up Act, the insolvents could not
be discharged, that section being a portion of an Act pi ssed
subsequently to the general Insolvent Debtors Act, and con-
sequently superseded the latter; in reply to which, on the
part of the petitioners, it was urgod that there was nUthing
in the 88th section of the Winding-up Act to control the
working or militate against the 55th section of the Insolvent-
Debtors Act. His Honour acquiesced in this latter view
and the insolvents were discharged.
VISIT OF PARISIAN Excuustomsrs.—Yesterday
a monster train, conveying no less than 1,400 Parisians, cn
an excursion to the metropolis, arrived at the London-bridge
terminus of the South-Eastern Railway. Every cab and
means of conveyance in the station and vicinity proved in-
adequate, and a number of omnibuses were engaged to carry
them to their destination in Leicester-square. The lengthy
cavalcade, and the unusual appearance of the excursionists,
the majority being of the working class, cc blouse, and wear-
ing beards, attracted much curiosity. The hotels and lodg-
ing-houses had not sufficient accommodation; and numbers
bad to be quartered in the Strand and viciuitY TOY maga
