The canvass for the borough of Birmingham is now nearly
finished, and each party claims a majority. One thing is
certain—the three candidates will go to the poll. The various
Committees paid down their respective shares of the expense
of erecting the booths last night, and there is no chance of
any one of them receding. The nomination takes place this
day.
A Court of Common Council is about to be called, to take
into consideration the report of the Committee respecting
wholesale dealers, which was presented at the last court, and
ordered to be printed. The report was accompanied by a
printed collection of extracts from the charters and records of
the Corporation, from .which it is inferred that not only
wholesale dealers, but all householders within the City,
whether engaged in trade or otherwise, are compelled to be-
come free; and it is understood that proceedings will be in-
stituted for the purpose of carrying 011 t the recommendation
of the Committee. _ _

At a vestry meeting of the 'mesh of Hackney held on
Thursday, Mr. Churchwarden Waud moved a rate of 3d. in
the pound for repairs of the church. On a show of hands
the motion was lost by a majority of 100, when a poll was
demanded by Mr. Burt. At five o'clock the numbers were
—For the rate, 110 ; against it, 142. The poll closes at
five to-day. Both parties are sanguine of success.
On Wednesday evening, an amateur performance took
place at the Brighton Theatre, in aid of the fund for the
Sussex Cricket Club, and so great was the interest excited,
that all the boxes were speedily taken, and one half the pit
was converted into stalls. The principal performers com-
prised Viscount Seaham (Ist Life Guards), Mr. Bruce, Esq.,
(Grenadier Guards), H. P. de Bathe, Esq., and C. Seymour,
Esq. (Scots Fusilier Guards), C. G. Taylor, Esq., Bertie
Mostyn, Esq., and H. Brook Esq., who were assisted by
Miss Jane Mordaunt, Miss Williams, and Mrs. Thorn.
