SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—The members of the
Anti-Corn-law League have announced Colonel Thompson as
their candidate for Sunderland, in the room of Lord Howiek,
who, by the death of his venerable father, has succeeded to the
title of Earl Grey. The gallant colonel has issued an add ess
to the electors. There is another Liberal candidate in the
field, Mr. John Bagshaw, of London, who is announced as a
thorough free-trader. The Conservativs have not as yet made
an announcement, but it is stated that they are about to start
Mr. J. J. Wright as a candidate. His chance of success will
be greatly increased by this unfortunate division of the Liberal
party. Why do not the electors of Sunderland follow the ex-
cellent example set them by Marylebone in 1841 ?
DEPARTURE OF THE C AMBRIA.—The steam-ship
Cambria, Captain Judkins, sailed from Liverpool on Satur-
day morning last, in full equipment, with the semi-monthly
mails, and her usual complement of passengers, for Holiffil and Boston.

that, for the sake of all parties, the Boers could not have been
made good subjects, having every opportunity already of
being prosperous ones.
The Consol market has been rather heavy to-day, the

Chilian Bonds have advanced to 10114, Russian to 11814,

Foreign Bonds the fluctuations have beenvery trifling to-day.
The general tone of the Railway Share Market is that of
firmness. The London and York Shares are in request this
morning under the expectation that the preamble will be
proved. The Foreign Shares are in steady request.
A sale of 8,500 pines, just received from the West Indies,
is now in progress in Monument-yard. The sale-room, when
Mr. Keeling entered the rostrum, at eleven o'clock, was
crowded to sutrocation by all sorts of ready buyers, from the
rich west-end fruiterer to the perambulating dealer. These
sales of pines are now attracting a considerable degree of in-
terest in the City.

though not formally declared, Stomacher, of course, dis-
appeared. Of her ailment we have heard nothing, and of
Faugh-a-ballagh we only know by report that he has been
under a suspicion of lameness for a 2onsiderable period. Va-
lerian, who was first noticed at Liverpool, became first favourite
at 5 to 1 (takers of 6 to 1), and a few bets were made in small

THE ARMY.
WAR-OFFICE CIRCULAR, JULY 18, 1845.
I have the honour to acquaint you, with reference to Article
9 of the clothing warrant, that in those cases in which th
Commander-in-Chief may think proper to grant his special
permission for the regimental clothing to be supplied in mate-
rials, in order that it may be made up at the head-quarters of
the regiment, the Colonel's responsibility for the safety of the
clothing will extend to the time when the whole of the clothing
shall be completed, and certified by the commanding officer of
the regiment to the Board of General Officers, to be ready for
delivery to the men.
I have to add, that a considerable loss having lately occurred
through the destruction by fire of a quantity of clothing mate-
rials, whilst in charge of a regimental master tailor, in process
of being made up, the several colonels of regiments should be
aware that they will be held, in future, liable to risk arising
from any similar casualty, unless they protect themselves by in
suring the clothing until it shall be ready for delivery.
I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
(Signed) SIDNEY HERBERT.

THE COLOSSEUM.—We are glad to find that this
splendid exhibition continues to attract company of the first
quality, and within these few days it has been visited by the
following nobility :—The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, the
Duke of Rutland and family, Earl Rosalyn, Earl of Essex and
family, Dowager Countess of Essex, Earl Brownlow, Lords
Auckland, Foley, Seymour, Egerton, Ladies Courtenay, New-
borough, Chichester, Countess of Mornington, Baron
Brunnow, the Turkish Ambassador, &c. &c.
THE SIDON STEAMER.—The engines of this vessel,
to be built at Deptford upon a plan of Commodore Sir Charles
Napier, are to be of 560-horse power ; she is to carry 800 tons
of coals in her boxes, being about twenty-five days' consump-
tion. There is to be no cast iron used in the machinery above
the light load water-line, the material above being of gun
metal. The engines are to be upon the direct action prin-
ciple, and the boilers are to be tubular. Her paddle-
wheel is to be 28 feet 6 inches in diameter. The whole
weight of the machinery, &c., will be nearly 400 tons, and the
engines are to be constructed by Messrs. Seaward and Capel,
at a cost of about 30,0001.
Government have purchased Kinterbury estate,
near Devonport, for 23,000/., on which a new powder magazine
is to be erected.
SUICIDE BY A SOLDIER.—On Friday evening the
3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards was thrown into some
excitement by hearing the report of fire-arms. On rushing to
the room whence the sound issued, the body of Charles Sa-
muels, of the sth company, was lying at length on the floor,
with his head nearly blown to atoms. It appeared that the
deceased had tied a cord to the trigger of his musket, and dis-
charged it with the muzzle in his mouth. No reason can be
assigned for the rash act, other than that the poor fellow had
proqiised to meet a few friends at a public-house, but, being
too Fate for evening parade, he was not allowed to leave the
barracks. On Saturday an inquest was held on the body by
Mr. Wakley, when the jury returned a verdict " That the
deceased destroyed himself, but whether he was in a sound state
of mind at the time he committed the deed there was no evi
dente to show."

A deputation on the extension of navigation in Ireland had
an interview with Sir Robert Peel on Saturday at his official re-
sidence in Downing Street. The deputation consisted of Lord
Rossmore, Lord Lurgan, Lord Clements, M.P., Sir Thomas
Esmonde, Bart., M.P., Sir A. Chichester, Bart., Mr. George
A. Hamilton, M.P., Mr. John Young, M. P., Captain Arch-
dall, M.P., Mr. Grogan, M.P., Mr. B. Roche, M.P., Mr.
M. J. O'Connell, M. P., Dr. Collins, Mr. C. W. Williams,
Mr. Pierce Mahony, Mr. Baucock, and Mr. M. Colic.
MORE FIRES.—On Sunday night, shortly after
ten, a fire broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr.
Thomas Hooper, upholsterer and cabinet-maker, 8, Prospect-
row, Walworth-road. It originated in the back workshop,
and was discovered by the inmates, whilst they were preparing
for bed. Mr. Hooper, with his wife and children, had to
leave in their night-clothes. Owing to the easily ignitable
nature of the stock, the fire rapidly extended from the workshop
to the kitchen, stored with goods, and passing from thence, up
a small staircase, it laid hold of the stock in trade, deposited
in the front shop; but by great exertions the flames were
subdued by half-past eleven o'clock ; not, however, until the
principal portion of the stock in the front shop was destroyed,
and a quantity of valuable articles in the workshop at the back.
About an hour previously a fire was discovered on the premises
occupi,d by Mr. Howell, tea-dealer and grocer, at the corner
of Yark and President-streets, City-road ;it was put out in half
an hour, but the damage wag considerable.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON. SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—The Tweed,
Royal Mail steam-ship, Captain Parsons, arrived this
morning, at half past eleven o'clock, from the West India
Islands, with the usual mails, which will be dispatched
to town by the mail train, so that the letters and papers
may be delivered in the morning.
The dates of departure are—From Jamaica, 23d of
June ; Carthagena, 19th ; Demerara, 13th ; Trinidad,
20th ; Barbadoes, 21st ; Grenada, 26th ; and St. Tho-
mas, Ist July, at ten o'clock being exactly 19 days
from the latter place.
The Tweed has experienced nothing but slight S.E.
and E. winds since she left the Western Islands. She
was detained twenty-eight hours, in consequence of the
Liffy schooner not having arrived with the mails, some
anxiety for the safety of which was felt precious to her
appearance, on the 23d. The Tweed started imme-
diately she had shipped the mails.
The Tweed brings 73 pissengers, and an unusually
costly freight, consisting of 65,000 dollars, in gold and
gold dust, shipped at Jamaica, on merchants' account ;
1 box of pearls, valued at 1,6001., from Chagres ; 1 ditto
of precious stones, valued at 20,0001., from Carthagena ;
258 barrels 9 boxes and 1 tierce of ginger ; 50 tierces of
coffee (Jamaica) ; 10 bales of sarsaparilla, 15 boxes of
succades, and a number of other packages of various
kinds of valuable merchandise.
Her Majesty's ship Pique was at Grenada, and the
Hyacinth sailed from Port Royal on the 21st of June.
At anchor at Port Royal was her Majesty's schooner
Pickle.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Dee, Captain
llemsley, was in the Gulf of Mexico. She is the next
ship due, and may be expected about the sth proximo.
The Tweed spoke the brig Sea Witch in lat. 38 14
N., long. 29 59 W. ; all well.
THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.
The Tweed discerned the squadron off the Lizard
yesterday at noon. She was not sufficiently near to ob-
serve with any degree of accuracy their relative posi-
tions. It was obvious, however, that a three decker was
first (supposed to be the Queen) and the Admiral's ship
second. They were all standing to the west in lat. 49
30, lon. 5 43 W., under a heavy press of sail, 35 miles
from the Lizard, which bore north-east. Captain Par-
sons had not sighted the land at the time the fleet was
first observed. The Rattler, steamer, was about two
miles astern of the whole, under canvass, but no steam
There appeared to be ten vessels in the fleet, including
the Rattler.

There is but little News of importance from the
West India Islands. The Jamaica Railway is in
a state of forwardness, and no doubt exists as to its
opening for general traffic about the Ist of October.
The whole of the road, embankments, cuttings, &c.,
are finished, and, as near as possible, about one half
of the rails laid down. The first locomotive arrive '
from England on the 15th of June, and an
mental trip was to be made on that p0r...0
..gn( ,of the
line completed on the day the left—indeed,
when she left the harbour the '..‘..eam. from the engi was plainly discernible. The wiwie o nef the population of
the island, from the rich!-.„,t, the poorest, were in high
acstacies on the of the locomotive, and great
numbers flocke,l (1 view it as an object of great curio-
sity ; they weleomed it as the precursor of the return cf
prosnel.otts times.
Jim weather had been most propitious. The fine rains
which had set in on the departure of the last mail for
England had continued, particulArly in the south part of
the island. In some parts, however, they were so heavy
as to cause injury to property and loss of life. Two
young men, named M‘Leod and M'Mahon, in endeavour-
ing to cross a river, were carried away and drowned.
A Mr. Shenton, too, of Metcalfe, lost his life, in cone
quence of the upsetting of his boat, as he was returning
from a pleasure excursion. At Milk River a Dissenting
place of worship is stated to have been destroyed by the
impetuous torrent.
The coolies are progressing admirably, and are in
most friendly communion with the negroes. They are
represented as being extremely industrious, and anxious
to give satisfaction to their employers.
The island is in a healthy state, and the same remark
may be applied to the troops. The crops have a very
favourable appearance ; in fact, much more so than for ,
many years. This is attributed not only to the rains,
but the introduction of guano, which has been exten-
sively used on some estates.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO-

CIETY OF ENGLAND

, SHREWSBURY, SATURDAY, JULY 19.—The proceedings of
this Society terminated here by a meeting of its members and
I a sale by auction of a portion of the cattle and implements eX-
hibited at the show. The meeting took place at twelve o'clock
at the Town Hall, at which Lord Portman presided. There
were but few members present. Apologies were made for the
absence of the Duke of Richmond, who had been obliged to
leave to attend his Parliamentary duties.
On the motion of Earl SPENCER, the thanks of the meeting
were giving to the Mayor and Corporation of Shrewsbury; to
Edwin Haycock, Esq., and the local Committee; to the Bir-
mingham and Grand Junction Railways ; and to Mr. Taylor,
of Sloukmoor, for the facilities they had respectively afforded,
to carry out the purpose of the show.
Thanks were also given to the Duke of Richmond, for his
services as the President ; and Lord Portman, for his conduct
in the chair that day.
The sale of the cattle and implements commenced at ten
o'clock in the morning, and lasted till a late hour in the
afternoon; but it scarcely presented a feature worth noticing.
The form of an auction was gone through, but there were
only a few bone fide sales effect, d. Two or three of the short-
horn bulls were, we believe, positively sold. The highest price
given was 591., for a three year and eight months old boll, the
property of Mr. John Champion, of Carrington, near Notting-
ham ; a Southdown ram, the property of Mr. Barnard, Al. P.,
15 months old, was purchased fur 20/. by the Marquis of Down-
shire; and one, the property of Mr. T. M. Goodlake, of
Wadley House, near Farringdon, Berks, 18 months old, was
also purchased for 251. by Lord Hill.
The ball, which took place on Thursday evening, was at-
tended by a numerous and fashionable company. Amongst
those present were—Ladies Fowls, Newport, Charlotte Lyster,
Hun. Mrs. Knyvett Leighton, Hon. Airs. H. Bristow, Hon.

(4,0 Jintice to all parties concerned in the management "
show and the general business of the Society, to say
mat tiler afforded every facility for our obtaining informa-
tions These remarks apply with especial force to Mr.
Hudson, the Secretary of the Society; to Mr. Gibbs, the
Director of the show ; and to the Stewards of the different de-
partments. A body of the A division of the metropolitan
police, under the command of Superintendent Otway, did
good service on the occasion. They apprehended no less than
fifteen thieves, several of whom were well-known members of
the swell mob. On one of the parties apprehended were Lund
a valuable gold watch and a pocket-book, the latter of which
was stolen from the pocket of a person whom the police had
employed to detect offenders, and who on one occasion was a
member of the London police.
The number of persons that attended the show on Thursday
amounted to nearly 13,000, one-half of which number was ad-
mitted at 2s. 6d. each, and the other portion at Is. each. Thus
has ended this show, which, whatever is thought of its practical
utility in advancing the interests of agriculture, certainly
created no little excitement in this locality.
THE LATE EARL GREY

The demise of this venerable statesman was rather sudden at
the last. Although he had been some time suffering from
paralysis, yet he had rallied considerably, and it was riot until
the 12th instant that he was observed to droop. From this
period he sunk rapinly. Lord Howick, who, up to
Wednesday, had been in attendance at the House of
Cnrrimons, was immediately sent for, and arrived at
Howick in time to see his venerable parent before his decease.
The Noble Earl expired calmly, and without pain, and awaited
the approach of his last moments with the resignation of a
Christian. Countess Grey (to whom the Earl was united in
1794, and who was the daughter of the first Lord Ponsonby)
was present, together with her sons, Viscount Howick and
Colonel Grey, when the venerable Earl breathed his last. We
extract from the Observer the following description of Earl
Grey's personal appearance in his younger days ;
" A description of the personal appearance of Earl Grey, in
the vigour of his days, will not be uninteresting to those who
only knew him when advancing years began to affect his frame.
His port and bearing were strikingly dignified. The voito
seio/to, which men almost instinctively aisociaie with high birth,
was legible in every lineament of his features, and his who'e
exterior was decidedly patrician. The expression of his
countenance when in repose, was somewhat penserose and
meditative—the forehead lofty and well developed, as beseemed
a temple sacred to noble thoughts.' His figure was stately
and commanding, his action graceful and animated; arid his
voice strong, flexible, and sonorous. As an orator, he was
ready and correct—lns style classically pure, and void of affec-
tation—his delivery such as to fix, and even fascinate, the atten-
tion ; while his arguments were couched in diction which
evinced the well-educated and well•disciplined mind."
