On aa that Mr. Thomas Blackburn, once the great
champion of the education question, hasretired from the
Reform Association, being at issue with that body on the
great question of national education.

The committee for managing the CobdenTribute Fund
meet next week to consider the propriety of closing the
subscription lists, and making the necessary arrangements
for collecting outstanding amounts.

It is the intention of Edward Deniston, Esq., M.P., to
stand again, in the Tory interest, at the next general
election for the West Riding of Yorkshire. Lord Morpeth
will also be a candidate.

The Leeds Mercury states that,the Liberal committee

James Heald is offering himself as candidate for Stock-
port, in the place of Henry Marsland, who has made his
intentions known of not offering again. Alderman Ker-
shaw, of Manchester, is offering in opposition, in the Re-
form interest.

BaISTOL.—The return of the Hon. T. H. Berkeley, the
present whig member is looked upon as certain ; but Mr.
NV. Fxipp, the unsuccessful Conservative candidate in 1837
and :1841 (on the latter occasion by only 55), will again
take the field against Mr. P. W. S. Miles.
'Tan DISSOLUTION.—The London Times says—" The
dissolution, we believe, will not be deferred much, if at
all, beyond the end of next month. The election, in that
case, will be got through in the interval between hay and
corn harvest ; and those of our honourable representatives
who will again be summoned to the great council of the
nation will have time to recruit their strength for a sup-
plementary session in autumn." The Observer of Sunday
say—" That the session cannot be brought to a close
until the second week in July, and whether a dissolution
will immediately follow, or be deferred till after the
harvest, cannot yet be determined upon."
MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS.—It iS settled that
Lord Hardinge will immediately return from India, and
the Marquis of Tweedale from Madras ; and that succes-
sors to these two noblemen will be immediately appointed.
The return of Lord Normanby from Paris is said to have
some connection with the appointment of a Governor-
nor-general of India. It is alleged that his lordship is
anxious for the governor-generalship ; and that, in the
event of such an appointment, the Marquis of Clanricarde
will go to Paris. Another arrangement talked of is, that
Lord Normanby will sucrivd Lord Clanricarde, at the
post-office; and that the latter nobleman will be sent to
India. In this case, the ambassador of the French court
is not named •, but it is suggested that the appointment
will be offered to the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P.
MR. ENTWISLE.—This gentleman, in his address on
retiring from South Lancashire, thus alludes to what
has taken place since his election :—" Probably no one
could then anticipate the early success of the great mea-
sure which was carried in the last session by that govern-
ment to the general support of whom I was pledged ;
certainly none could foresee the emergency which has
since afforded such indisputable proof of the necessity for
occasional dependence on foreign supplies of food. lam
bound to express my conviction that the repeal of the
Corn Laws could under no circumstances have been long
delayed in opposition to the gradual growth of public opi-
nion, and further to admit that, after the experience of
such a calamity as that by which we are now afflicted, T
at least should never again have been bold enough to ad-
vocate protection as essential to our independence. The
former consideration alone would have prevented my ever
seeking to rescind the deliberate decision pronounced by
the voice of the nation, although I could not accept it as
a justification for a contradiction of my opinions by my
vote. But in the terrible dispensation with which it has
pleased Providence to visit these kingdoms, T cannot fail
to recognise the refutation of the theory on which my
judgment had been formed. It is not good for nations,
more than for individuals, to stand alone : our necessities
forbid it. That which I formerly opposed as fatal to the
industry of our own countrymen I dare not now deny to
be requisite for their safety. Without the stimulus af-
forded to production by a certain market it is vain to ex-
pect an adequate supply, nor could we hope to sustain
future conflicts for the bare means of subsistence without
serious and permanent injury to the resources and pros-
perity of this country "
