The Policb Outrage at Liverpool . —The magistrates were engaged on Saturday afternoon in ivestigating the conduct of Mr . Dowling , commissioner of the Liverpool police force , and that of Mr . To werson , one of the superintendents , iu reference to a charge of having erased some leaves of the police charge-book , in order , as was aiiegea , to screen the conduct of their subordinates , who bad been charged therein , by a report of Sergeant Tomlwson , witn having made a furious and unjustifiable attock . upon a Roman Catholic congrecation , as they were leaving iioiy Cross Chapel , on Mond ay owning last , after hearing a lecture by the Reverend Dr . CahiU . Evidence having ; been given relative to the wanton attack by the police on tne unoffending persons who were rushing from the cnapei , in consequence of the false alarm of tho breaking ot a ueamt the police report was next produced . In answer to questions by MrAapinallCouunissioner Bowling sta ted tuat
. , Sergeant Tomlingou reported Boardman , 291 , as being the cause of the disturbance . It was stated in the report that he saw the police indiscriminately striking the people , whilst in his statement he said he only saw Boardman striking the people . lie ( Mr . Bowling ) then desired him to make a correct report , such as he could swear to . Ibis was done ; the second report was entered in the books , and consequently the first report was taken out , and this one put in . —Mr . Mansfield said this was a very suspicious thing . A whole side , containing ten cases of public documents , had been removed , which oug ht to have been religiously preserved . —Mr . Miller and Mr . Co wan , clerks in the commissioner ' s office , deposed that tho pages in question were removed by order of Mr . Bowling . Both the heao constable and Mr . Towerson were present when the leaves were torn out , and when one of the witnesses ( Mr . Cowan ) objected to altering the book . The parts of the report
taken out were those which pressed against the police . — Mr . Aspinall directed attention to the evidence of Sergeant Tomlinson , in which he denied that he had received any instructions . He said he had advised himself . —Mr . Mansfield remarked there was no doubt Tomlinson had grossly prevaricated , if he had not told an absolute falsehood . —Mr . Aspinall f aid it was by mere chance , during an inquiry into a matter comparatively trifling , that they had obtained evidence that the commissioner , as the head of the police , had been in the habit of doing that which in any clerk in a public office , nay , even in any merchant s office , would be considered a most disgraceful and discreditable offence , which called for punishment much more marned
than would have fallen on any of his subordinates . —Mr . Mansfield , in passing sentence , remarked with great severity on the conduct of Mr . Bowling in endeavouring to suppress the truth , as also on the part taken by Superintendent Towerson , and the prevarication , if not downright perjury , of Sargcant Tomlinson . He sentenced the latter to immediate suspension from his duties , as also Constables Boardman , 291 , and Jackson , 142 , and ordered the chargebook to be impounded for the inspection of his brother magistrates . After several hours' conference the magistrates decided on suspending both Mr . Commissioner Bowling and Mr . Superintendent Towerson until their investigations were completed

Spencer Suthers , a highly respectable cotton-spinner and manufacturer , residing at Oldham , committed suicide by leaping down a coalpit belonging to Messrs .

Instead of doing so the two male prisoners laid forcibly hold of him , one by the neck . and the other round the waist , and compressing his throat so as to cause strangulation , he became insensible of what passed . When he recovered his consciousness he found himself in the care of a policeman , and discovered that he had been robbed of os . Sd . Policeman A deposed to hearing a man cry out " Don ' t abuse me , " and on turning out of Smithfieldmarket into Swan-street he saw the two men in the dock

They were severally committed for trial at the assizes . Felony by an Emigration Agent . —At the Liverpool police-court , on Monday , Lawrence Nolan , carrying on business as an emigration agent at Regent-street , opposite tbe Clarence-dock , Liverpool , was fully committed for trial at the next assizes , for feloniously abstracting various articles of wearing apparel and other property , to the value of £ 15 from the boxes of Joseph Christian , a printer , who was about to emigrate to JJew York , and who had engaged with the prisoner to procure him a passage , and left his luggage at Xolan ' s office until the ship was ready to sail .
On Mturday morning the boxes were taken on board the emigrant ship International , which was intended to sail for New York on that day ; but owing to an adverse wind was detained in port . Christian had occasion to examine one of his boxes , when he missed some of his property , and subsequently discovered that he had been plundered to a considerable extent . The captain communicated with the police , and the detectives being set to work immediatel y , found several of the missing articles in Nolan ' s possession . Upon his being apprehended , the prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery ; in his pockets were found some printed cards , stating that " every ^ informat ion would bo given to emigrants . " Mr .

Home , Esq ., of West Farleigh , was returning from Maidstone with three ladies , when near Barbara Court Lodge , the pin of one of the shafts broke , letting the shafts fall against the horse ' s legs , which started off at full speed . The coachman shouted to the turnpike gate-keeper to close the gate , which he did , but had not time to bolt it . The horse attempted to hap 'he
gate , getting its fore lees over , and driving it open with great violence and splintering it . The horse then went at full gallop down the hill , turning tbe angle of the road leading to West Farleigh , at the same t me tho coachman lost his seat and was thrown to tbe ground with great violence . The carriage was dragged along with fearful speed towards the gates , which cross the road at the railway . The gatekeeper endeavoured to stop the horse , but finding it useless , stepped on one side ; the horse made a clean leap at the gate , setting its fore legs over . The gate was fastened with a chain attached to a strong staple , but the concussion was so great that the staple was drawn < ut , and
the gate forced open with such violence , that , striking the gatekeeper , who was standing near , he was thrown to a considerable distance . The horse then attempted to leap the second gate—forced the staple , and dashed onwards towards the bridge , the ladies expecting every moment to be thrown into the river ; but just as the chaise came upon the bridge , one of the hind wheels came in contact with the spur stone , which it forced completely out of its place , and upset the carriage . Some men who were near hastened to the spot and assisted the ladies out , who , wiih the exception of severe bruises , were wonder . 'ul to state , not otherwise injured . The coachman also was only bruised , and the horse was not at all injured . —Kentish Mercury .

Fatal Accident near the Midland Railway Station . —On Tuesday morning , as the 6 a . ni . passenger train was departing for the north , and while nearins the bridge
at . Little Chester , it met a luggage train coming in the opposite direction . A plate-layer who had been but a very short time employed on the line , and who was at work at this spot , observing the luggage traiu . advance , stepped from the line on which it was advancing , and without noticing the approach of the passenger train , went on to the line on which it was travelling . Before the engine could be stopped , Kerry was struck to the ground , a , id the train passed ow him , injuring htm in a most shocking manner . Immediately on thcoccurrenceof the accident , Mr . H .

The Policb Outrage At Liverpool.—The Mag...
The Liverpool Heab Constable and the Magistrate ! , —On Wednesday at the meeting of tho Watch Committee of the Liverpool Town Council , a recommendation was brought forward to give the aura of £ 200 per annum as a retiring pension to Mr . Dowling , the h ead constable , who on Saturday last was suspended from his office for having erased some leaves from the regular police charge book , in order to destroy a report made by Sergeant Tomlinson , which reflected on the misconduct of the police in having made an unprovoked attack upon a Catholic congregation
on the preceding Monday evening . The proposition was strongly and warmly opposed on tbe ground that the act which Mr . Bowling had committed , according to his own admission , was deserving of the highest possible censure that the council or the magistrates could inflict , and that whatever might have been Mr . Bowling ' s claims for length of service or previous good conduct , he was disentitled to all consideration at the hands of the authorities . — A long and accrimonious debate ensued , but the proposition was eventually carried , and it was resolved to submit it to the council .

Shocking Occurrence At Conway.—A Circums...
Shocking Occurrence at Conway . —A circumstance of an unusually revolting character has just taken place at Conway , North Wales . A man of dissolute habits , named Owen Williams , who occupied a small wooden hut or cabin , situated immediately under the old town wall , returned home in a state of intoxication a night or two ago , and endeavoured to murder his wife by strangling her . After much maltreatment the poor woman effected her escape . The man then attacked his sister , who lived in the house ; but
she also managed to free herself from his violence , and joined the wife . They having left two children , from seven to ten years old , in ah adjacent room in the cabin , determined with the assistance of a neighbour to rescue them , remembering that the man had frequently sworn to set fire to his dwelling . On their return to the hut they found it in flames , and the remains of the unhappy man burnt almost to a cinder lying amid the ruins . On search being made it was found that the children had escaped , and were uninjured . No doubt exists that the man had put his oftrepeated threat into execution . At the coroner ' s inquest however , a verdict of "Accidentally burnt" was returned .

The Mhrdek At Hilton Of Forthar.—After A...
The Mhrdek at Hilton of Forthar . —After a very searching investigation , the perpetration of the murder of Margaret Maxwell has been clearly established against the two Irishmen , Michael and Peter Scanlan . Another Irishman , named Thomas M'Manus , who resides at Hilton of Forthar , was arrested in consequence of a watch being found at the Forthar Lime Works , which it was thought he must have known something about , but he denied all knowledge of it . On being brought to Cupar for examination , he cbanged his mind , and disclosed the whole circumstances of the case . He stated that , on Sunday , loth inst ,, the two Irishmen and he met and had a walk together . In the course of their conversation , one of them said he would like to go to America , and that if he could get some
money , and had a few months over his head , he would go . He then said that he thought Margaret Maxwell had some money , and that he could easily go in at her back window some night and take her money . It was then arranged among them that the Scaulans would rise out of their beds when their house wag all quiet , and come to'M'Manus ' s house and lift the latch of his door , so that he might know who wanted him , and he was to rise and go with them to rob Miss Maxwell of her money . Accordingly , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , M'Manus heard some one at his door . He then got up , pulling on his trowsers , and putting a light pair of boots on his feet and went to the door and saw his comrades there , who had nothing on but their trowser . and stockings , having put them on after getting out of beds They then alt went to Miss Maxwell's back window , and one of the Scanlans knocked it in with his knee , and went into the house , but without the intention of murdering her , and the other two remained outside to keep watch . He attempted
first to shut her up in her bed , which was a box-bed , in order that she might not see him ; but being awakened with the noise , and finding that some one was in her house , she cried out . lie then attacked and struck her in bed , upon which she again cried , and made a resistance . Fearing that she would discover who he was , he went to the window and cried for his brother to come in , who came , and they both st-ized her and dragged her out of bed on the floor , where they murdered her with the stool . They then left the house , and came out and gave M'Manus the watch as his share of the booty , and they kept the money which they had stolen , and went each home to their beds . M'Manus , fearing to take the watch into the house with him , hid it in the easing of his house , under the thatch , where it remained till he took it to the lime works with him , and laid it there , in case it should be found about his house . M'Manus and the two Scanlans were fully committed for housebreaking , murder , and robbery .
A Lead Mine in Moray . —Near the village of Stotfield are rocks known as " Sheepie ' s Silver Rooks , " popularly supposed to contain silver ore . Some eighty years ago a mine was actually begun there for silver , and the works were carried on for some time , though without much profit . At last a labourer was accidentally killed at the works , and operations were forthwith abandoned . In the course of last year a mining firm in London and the Isle of Man heard that lead ore was to be found in the neighbourhood ot Stotfield , and they sent down a person to survey and report . Ho selected a sample of the ore , and on analysis it has been found to contain only a Fmatl portion of silver , but as much as seventy per cent , of lead .

The Attempt To Murder. Mil Eastwood.—On ...
The Attempt to Murder . Mil Eastwood . —On the application of the Crown the trial of the three men against whom true bills have been found by the Louth grand jury for the attempt to murder Mr . Eastwood has been postponed till next assizes . The prisoners , who were transmitted back to gaol , are described as able , resolute-looking fellows , and did not appear to have suffered in the slightest degree by their long confinement . The Coming Elections . —Rumour has been busy in disposing of the Irish chief-justiceship , which the appointment of Chief Justice Blackburn to the chancery bench leaves vacant . One rumour is that the Right Hon . R . W . Greene is likely to obtain that office , while , according to another , which appears equally probable , Baron Lefroy will be the chief justice , and Mr . Greene get tbe seat in the Exchequer Court thus left vacant .
Lord Naas , Mr . Whiteside , and Sir J . E . Tennent , appear to be all more or less in danger ; hut as the Roman Catholic electors have the representation of Ki ' . dare in their hands , it would be strange indeed if they allowed a member of Lord Derby ' s government and an upholder of the Irish church establishment , to go back to Parliament as the representative of their feelings and opinions . " It is said that Mr . J . Vane ? , a Conservative member of the Irish bar , is to start for Dublin in co-operation with Mr . Grogan . Various men are spoken of as candidates on the Liberal side .

The Council Of The National Reform Leagu...
THE COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE-TO ALL WHO DESIRE A THOROUGH REFORM , BY SAFE AND LEGAL MEANS , OF OUR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS .
Friends and Fellow-countrymen , —Surrounded with all the materials for creating wealth in superabundance , bow happens it that the people find it so hard to get a living ?—that tbe great majority of them are always in distress ?—that those who work hardest , fare worst ; whilst those who work not at all , get all the good things ? -In a word , why is it that the idle rich live longest , and live best j whilst the industrious poor , after short lives of hardships and privations , are prematurely cut off by hunger and disease ?
.. ... The poor are what they are , and the rich are what they are , because the land , whence alone the raw materials of all wealth are to be ob'ained . is permitted to become the private property of individuals , to the exclusion of the millions and , in the next place , because capital and credit are monopolised by the rich , to tbe exclusion of the poor . \\ hat God ma ' le for all , the few have every where usurped—viz ., the land , with all its capabilities . Landlords and profitmongers have made private property of that which of right
belongs to tbe vfbole public ; and vjmen . cm new o ? alienated , by grant , sale , or otherwise , to individuals , without entailing slavery and want upon the dispossessed , By usurping the land of the whole kingdom , and of our colonies , landlords and profiraongers have usurped all the raw materials of wealth , and all the means of subsistence provided for us by our Creator ; and left the disinherited no better litle to live—no other guarantee for existence—than the wages of slavery , doled out by such capitalists and landlords as can make a profit of the people ' s labour .
This is the first great cause of poverty—the original sin of political economy—the parent of slavery and sorrow , all the world over . It originates the subjection of man to his fellow-man ; and renders poverty inevitable for the masses , by making the few masters of all the riches of creationmasters of all the sources and means of production . There is another great cause of evil growing out of the first , which , operating in conjunction with it , makes landlords and profitmongers as absolute masters of distribution as they are of production . It is our commercial system—it is our fraudulent system of exchanges , based upon a false and vicious monetary system . Our money-laws , next to our land laws , are the greatest curse to humanity . These money-laws do , for the capitalist , what land monopoly does for the landlord—they enable him to grow rich at the expense of the producer , who is , everysvaere , the plundered slave of one or the other , or of both .
The world's wealth is now limited to the quantity that can be exchanged ; and its quality is determined by the conveniences and caprices of the rich only : the world ' s wealth should be restricted only by the desire of the whole people to consume , and by their capabilities of production , which immeasurably exceed their wants . Hence , an immediate cause of our national distress is , that tbe power of creating wealth ia greater than the power of exchanging it . A defective currency , based upon gold and silver , and an impoverished people , unable to produce on their own
account , and to consume tbeir own produce , for want of a currency to interchange with each other , necessarily limit both production and distribution . In production , abundance and variety for the rich only are studied ; in both production and distribution , only the absolute necessities of the poor are cared for . For such requirements gold and silver may suffice . But to make abundant production and equitable destribution for all , no other currency can suffice than symbolic money , representing the wealth produced , and changing hands , or disappearing altogether , as the wealth it represents changes hands or disappears .
Universal Suffrage is the universal people ' s right . No man has a right to subject other men to his will or laws , without their consent : it is tyranny—it is usurpation—it is high treason against the nation , even to conceive , much more to realise , tbe attempt . Universal Suffrage is of little or no political value to a people unless it serves to legalise and establish their social rights on a permanent footing . Tbe most important social rights are these : — 1 st . The equal right of all to free access to lands , mines , collieries , turbaries , fisheries , & c wherein are found all the raw materials of wealth , and the exclusion horn which entails certain slavery upon the disinherited .
2 nd . Every man should be free to interchange his services , and the produce of his labour , with his fellowlabourers , on the principle of equal service for equal service , or equal labour for equal labour . To this end , the commerce of tbe country chould be conducted on the principle of equitable exchange , and with symbolic money , without which , equitable exchange is impossible . 3 rd . The advantages of public and private credit should be equal and equally accessible to all—at least , till such time as when , society having righted itself , credit might no longer be needed by any . Without nationalising land and credit , it is impossible to emancipate the wages-slaves of society and landlordism and usury .
In order to attain these social rights , the whole land of the country should be gradually bought up by the State , with the public money ; and should then be rented out , in suitable quantities , to all who might desire to cultivate it ; but the land itself to remain for ever the property of the nation . 2 adly . To enable the poor , as well as the rich , to produce on their own account , national banks of credit should be opened by the Slate , in every town in the United Kingdom , at which any industrious man might be enabled to procure loans from the national funds . 3 rdly , A new system of national currency should be established , baaed on real , consumeable wealth , and on tbe Una fide credit of the State .
4 thly . Public marts . or stores should be opened by the State , in every town in the kingdom , to which all producers might bring tbeir goods for exchange ; in return for which they should receive symbolic notes representing the value of their deposits , which notes should be legal currency throughout the country . The above measures , preceded by a just and efficient Poor Law , in place of the present bad and unjust law , would , with the nationalisation of all railways , gas-works , waterworks , & c , and a sound system of national education , soon emancipate tbe industrious classes from the thraldom that oppresses them .

Election Intelligence. The New Chancello...
ELECTION INTELLIGENCE . THE NEW CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCiIFon „ AND HIS CONSTITUENTS . UJi WElt The Right Hon . B . Disraeli has just published « , following address to the electors of the county of Bhpv ° ham :- Kln « - " Gentlemen , —Her Maiesty having been gracioiKi pleased to call me to her Majesty ' s Privy Council , and II point me Chancellor of the Exchequer , I resi gn into vn , hands , according to the salutary principle of the Consthi tion , that office which you intrusted to me as your remT sentative in the House of Commons . But as I will not h lieve that the favour of our Sovereign can bo any disq u , i ] ifi " cation for the confidence of her Majesty ' s loyal subject s t have the honour to state that on tho 12 th inst ., j „ ' * county hail , I shall again venture to claim your suff ra 4 , for the high distinction of being your member in thl House of Commons .
* ' The late Administration fell to pieces from internal dig sension , and not from tho assault of their opponents ai J notwithstanding the obvious difficulties of our position we have felt that to shrink from encountering them would ba to leave the country without a government , and her Jj a jesty without servants . Our first duty will be to provide for tbe ordinary and current exigencies of the public ser . vice ; hut , at no distant period , we hope , with the concur , renoo of the country , to establish a policy in conform }^ with the principles which in opposition we have felt it our
duty to maintain . " We shall endeavour to terminate that strife of classes which , of late years , has exercised so pernicious an in . fluence over the welfare of this kingdom ; to accomplish those remedial measures which great productive interests suffering from unequal taxation , have a right to demand from a just government ; to cultivate friendly relations with all foreign Powers and secure honourable peaceto uphold in their spirit , as well as in their form , our political institutions ; and to increase the efficiency , as well as maintain the rights , of our national and Protestant Church .
"An Administration formed with these objects , and . favourable to progressive improvement in every depart , ment of the State , is one which , we hope , may obtain the support and command the confidence of the community whose sympathies are the best foundation for a strong Administration , while they are the best security for a mild government , " I have the honour to be , Gentlemen , " Your obliged and faithful servant , « . ' B . DlSRAEW , " London , March 1 st , 1852 . "
Lincolnshire . —In the north or Lindsey division there , will probably he a contest , but all the candidates will be Protectionists , An effort is making to turn out Sir Montagu Cholmeley ( a Whig Protectionist ) on the ground that he did not oppose the late administration at all points . Iu opposition to him Mr . Banks Stanhope , of Revesb y Abbey , is put forward by the ultra Tories . The moderate con . servatives , who are averse to a contest , join with the "Whi gs and liberals in support of Montagu Cholmeley , one of the present members , who it is supposed will be returned with Mr . Christopher , the other member . In the southern division Sir John Trollope , Bart ,, and Lord Burgbley will bo returned without opposition . —At Boston , one of the two Protectionist members will most , certainly have to give place to a Free Trader and a Liberal . The Liberals are
now united to a man , and have invited Mr . Hankey , the banker , to become their member . He has acceded to th & requisition . —At Stamford , the'Marquis of Granbyand Mr , Herries will , of course , be again returned . —At Grimsby , Mr . E . Heneage ( Whi g ) who has for many years represented ' the borough , will probably be again returned , Newport , Isle op Wight . —Mr . William Biggs , of Highfield House , Leicester , has issued an address formally offering himself as a candidate . He will be supported in conjunction with Mr . Massoy , the barrister , and recorder of Portsmouth , both of whom are decided Liberals and Free Traders , in opposition to Messrs . H . H . C . Plowdeis and C . W . Martin , the present Tory members . Portsmouth . —Mr . Sergeant Gaselee addressed a public meeting of the electors of Portsmouth on Friday evening ,
at which be explained the political opinions on whioh he sought their support in returning him to parliament . He declared himself in favour of an extension of the suffrage to all householders and vote by ballot ; and although ho was a member of the Church of England , he was a warm supporter of equal rights to all denominations and creeds , whilst he would also give his utmost support to every measure calculated to abolish the abuses in the church . He would vote for reduction in national expenditure . With regard to Free Trade , he would oppose every attempt to alter or reverse it ; and would carry out that system to even a greater extent than at present . Resolutions were passed approving of his candidature , and a committee was formed to support him in it . The Right Hon . Sir Francis T . Baring , Bart ., late First Lord of tho Admiralty , visited this borough on Monday , and entered into various
explanations with his committee . He stated he had not the sli ghtest doubt but that the present ministry would propose some measure of Protection , although perhaps not immediately . His own opinions on the matter were well know , and he need not therefore enter at large into them , but he strongly pointed out the momentous importance of the friends of liberal policy uniting for the maintenance of that policy , and for the support of other measures of progress . lie was an advocate for an extension of the suffrage , and would support it when it came before parliament again . Some questions referring to subjects of a local character were then put to Sir Francis , and which he answered to the general satisfaction of those present ; after which , absolution expressive of approbation with the statements made by him , and pledging the meeting to use every effort to secure his re-election , was then passed ; after which the meeting broke up .
Bath . —A private meeting of the Conservatives was hold on Saturday , under the presidency of G . W . Blathwayte , Esq ., at the Assembly Rooms , when a correspondence between the secretary of the Conservative Association and Mr , Whateley was read , which was considered satisfactory , and a motion agreed to requesting the learned gentleman to allow himself to be put in nomination at the next election . It is also understood that Mr . Whateley will be requested to visit Bath shortly , for the purpose of giving an . explanation of his principles to his electors . He is said to be a Protectionist .
Bristol , —There is a good deal of gossip going on about election matters , but , beyond the fact that the present liberal member , Mr . Berkeley , will most assuredly be reelected , there is nothing can be depended upon . Mr . George Thomas , the Chairman of the Liberal Association , and Mr . W . H . G . Langton , son of the late venerable Col . Gore Langton , and at present mayor of the city , are both spoken of as likely to be put in nomination with the hon . member . On tbe Conservative side , Mr . Tripp ( who has thrice before tried his hand ) and Mr . Frederick Peel are talked about . Chichester , —Lord Henry Gordon Lennox , having been appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury , and his seat for Chichester being thus vacated , has addressed the electors of that city for re-election . There is no sign of oppo < sition at present , nor is there likely to bo any in a city where ducal influence is so strong as is that of the house of Richmond at Chichester .
DHorxmcH . —The new Secretary of State for the Colonies , Sir John Pakington , issued his address to the electors on Saturday last . Sir John does not enter into explanation of his political views , but reserves these things for tbe time when he shall meet tho electors " at their homes and at the hustings . " Sir John , although he voted against tho present corn-laws , is willing that thoy should be fairly tried . GtoucESiER . -Admiral Berkeley , the liberal member for Gloucester city , issued an address to the electors on Saturday , offering his services again as their representative . There is not the least fear of the admiral ' s re-election ; and it is also certain that the Conservative sitting member , Mr . ii t . Hopo , must give place to Mr . Price , who comes forward in the Free Trade interest . HoMTON .-It is asserted that R , S . Gavd , Esq ., a Protectionist , will offer himself as a candidate , at tho next general election , in opposition to Mr . Locke .
Monmouth Borough and County . —It is stated that the representation of tli 3 county of Monmouth will ho contested on the liberal interest by one of a firm of large merchan ts , who are much interes ' ted in the district . Mr . W . S . Lindsay , the liberal candidate for the Monmouth boroug h , has been actively canvassing the electors , and has exprossei himself satisfied with the result of his labours . Mr . Cra < vshay Bailey , tho Conservative candidate , has also energetically canvassed the voters , and appears to consider his return as certain . It is fully expected by all parties tf / at tho contest will be a severe one . Lbbds . —We are happy to announce ( says the " Lveis Mercury" ) that a very cordial reconciliation has taken place between the two sections of reformers in the boroi # of Leeds . Those who at the last election supported Mr . Sturge have evinced their readiness to vote for Mr . Mar * shall , and those who then supported Mr . Marshall u * shown their disposition to vote for a candidate entertaining tho opinions of the other section of liberals .
Buckinghamshire . —The High Sheriff has issued a precept for the election of a knight in room of Mr . Disr » o" " on March 12 . Tower Hamlets . —Mr . W . Coningham , a leader in '" , co-operative movement , has put out an address to tlic" ^ tors of the Tower Hamlets , as a Radical Reformer , An- state-churchman , aud Free Trader .
