NOTTINGHAM . On Tuesday the electors of this important manufacturing community assembled in their Town Hall to choose representatives for the new parliament . There were no flags , bands of music , processions , or other party manifestations , while the retirement of Mr . Gisborne , one of the "Whig candidates , at the last moment , had tended equally to knock down any excitement which the prospect of a severe contest might have excited . Mr . "Walter ' s friends mustered in great force in front of his hotel , the George IV ., shortly before ten o ' clock , and accompanied him to the hustings . The other candidates—Mr . Strutt and Mr . Sturgeon—were also accompanied by their supporters ; arid , singular to state , the usual preliminary forms were complied with bj the sheriff , amid perfect order and silence . As the proceedings advanced the conduct of the assemblage fcrcame nouy and tumultuous , but all the candidates were listened to very patiently , with hardly a single angry interruption .
Mr . Hbmmisc proposed Mr . Walter as a fit and proper person to represent Nottingham in parliament . Mr . 6 . Newman seconded the nomination . Mr . Faqei commended Mr . Strutt to their votes . ( Cheera and groans . ) Alderman Bibkis , amid considerable interruption , seconded the nomination of Mr . Strutt . Mr . Hemuik proposed Mr . Sturgeon as a representative . Mr . Bullock seconded the nomination of Mr . Sturgeon . Mr . Hussi proposad , and Mr . James seconded , the nomination of Sir G . Larpent .
Mr . Walter then rose , and was received with cheering . He said , —Gentlemen , it is scarcely five years ago when you returned m % to have the honour of representing you in parliament —( hear , hear}—in conjunction with a Chartist colleague . I owe it to the position of my late colleague , and I owe it still more to his misfortunes , to tell you that , whatever difference of opinion may have prevailed between U 3 , I have always maintained , and do still maintain , the opinion that the presence of that gentleman in the House of Commons w « s a matter of great publio
advantage—( Cheers , and a shout of " Bravo J" )—and I further tell you , as one who happens to have among bis acquaintance more than one gentleman professedly attached to Chartist principles , that I conld not , if I wished , to convince such an one cf- his errors , hope to do it in a more effectual way than by returning him to parliament . ( Laughter . ) [ A Voice . — " What about the Suffrage ? " ] I will give no pledges . ( Hear , hear . ) If yon return me —( cheers )—1 can only say that no exertion shall be wanting on my part to justify the confidence which you have reposed in me . ( Renewed cheers . )
Mr . Strutt , who had some difficulty for a considerable time in obtaining a hearing , when the mingled cheers and groans with which he was saluted had somewhat subsided , he addressed the assemblage at some length , alluding to tho circumstances which caused the dissolution of parliament , and claimed the suffrages of the electors on the ground that be was a tried man . Mr . Stcbgeos , amid the loud applause of the people , then proceeded to address the electors . He said he had been denounced as being the hired advocate of another 5 art y . [ A Toice . — "It ' s true ! " and confusion . ] He enied it . ( Cheers . ) Then he was assailed because he had not come sooner . If there was any ground for this complaint , with what grace did Sir George Larpent now appear as a candidate . ( Cheers . ) He had been called a Bed
Republican , " hair , teeth , and dagger , lie was not called a Chartist , for that was not opprobrious enough , but , as he had said , a Red Republican . ( Hear . ) They had been told the fate of one of the Whig representatives whom they had rejected on a former occasion , namely , that he had been taken out of the House of Commons , and elevated to the House of Peers . He had nothing to say of his hon . opponent ( Mr . Strutt ) further than that he wished him well elsewhere —( laughter)—and he hoped they would give him bucq a beating on the morrow as would entitle him to a dukedom . ( Great laughter and cheering . ) Mr . Sturgeon then recapitulated his political opinions , declaring himself in favour of Manhood Suffrage , the Payment of Members , the Ballot , free toleration in religious matters , and the reformation of all abuses in church and state . lie was loudly cheered upon retiring .
A Voice , " Three cheers fc-r Strutt ! ' !¦ " Three groans !" responded a Chartist leader . They were given with much zest , and amid the greatest good humour . The Sheriff then took the show of hands for each candidate successively , and declared it to be in favour of Mr . Walter and Mr . Sturgeon . Scarcely any hands were shown for Sir George Larpent , and this induced much laughter , which was increased by a man in the body of the hall exclaiming , " Oh ! Whiggery's dead here . " The Sheriffs announcement was followed by great cheering . A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr . Strult , Sir George Lirpent ' s name being withdrawn from the contest .
Tha poll took place on Wednesday , and the result of it is that Mr . Strutt and Mr . Walter ara the successful candidates .

James Pope , 30 , a respectable looking young man , was indicted for stealing a number of clocks , the property of Otto Alexander Berens , his master , and Adolph Herschfi ' eld , who surrendered to take his trial , with feloniously receiving the property , knowing it to have been stolen—The priscTner Pope pleaded guilty . —The prosecutor carries on business in St . Paul ' s Church-yard , as a dealer in foreign clocks , and the prisoner Pope had boon in his service for some time prior to the month of April last . ' At that time it would appear that some suspicion was entertained of his honesty , and the inquiries that were ma < to resulted in his being taken into custody , and he then made a statement which inducod the prosecutor to send one of his clerks to the shop of the other prisoner , Horsehneid , in Bishoiisgatestreetand where he sold clocks , watches , and various
. articles of jewellery . Some of the clocks that were missed from the stock of the prosecutor , were exposed for salo in the window , and the prisoner at onco admitted that he had purchased them of Pope . He was then , it appeared , summoned as a witness against the other prisoner , and on his examination upon oath , he stated that the other man had sold a clock to his wife during his absence in Ireland , and that he subsequently called upon him and represented that he lived in Dalston , and that he was in tho clock trade , and being in difficulties he wished to sell some of the stock , and upon this representation he was induced to purchase several clocks of him , and that he also gave him a shilling a piece for a number of duplicates of other clocks , all of which it appeared had been stolen by Pope from the proseof
cutor . It was suggested on the part the prosecution , that the price given by Herschfieid for the clocks ho purchased of the prisoner was very much under their actual value , and after he had given his evidence the Alderman ordered the present charge to be preferred again 3 t him , allowing him , however , to go at largo upon bail , and he now surrendered to take his trial in discharge of his recognisances . A number of very respectable witnesses were in attendance to speak to the character of Herschtield , but after two or three of them had been examined , the jury interposed and said they were quite satisfied , and did not require any further evidence . —Tiie jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty as regarded the prisoner Herschfieid , and he was ordered to be immediately discharged . —Thejudgment upon the other prisoner was postponed .
Robbery by a Postman . —On Wednesday , George Tunney , 27 , postman , pleaded Guilty to stealing a post letter contaming half-a-sovereign , it being the property of the Postmaster-General . —He was transported for seven years . Receiving Stolen Property . —Matthew Jacobson , 25 , watchmaker , and Thomas Lawrence , 23 , dealer , were indieted for receiving stolen property . —It appeared that Lawrence kept the Oak beer-shop , Chenies-mew ? , Tottenham-court-road , and Jacobson was a watchmaker in tho same road . —Smith , the sergeant of the E division , having somo suspicion , went to tho beer-shop to make a search , where he found nearly £ 100 worth of base coin , sovereigns , crowns , half-crowns , and shillings ; he alao found an immense deal of other property , consisting of silks , watches , and other things , stowed away between the floors , and at tho other prisoner ' s place silks and other property was found , and all identified as the result of railway and other robberies . —The evidence , which waB ; very lengthy , was most conclusive , and the jury , having found the prisoners Guilty , they were sentenced to ten years' transportation .
Prrjcry . —Thomas Weston , 44 , chaser , pleaded Guilty to an indictment for perjury , and vraa sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . The remaining portion of the day was occupied in trying some charges of felony of no great importance ; and several prisoners having , by application , been permitted totraverso until next session , the business was brought to an end , and the court stands adjourned until Monday , August 16 th . NEW COURT . Joseph King and Henry Simpson were indicted for stealing a quantity of nails , the property of Thomas Moses Green . There was also another indictment against Simpson , who had been out on bail , for receiving the property in question . It appeared that the prosecutor is an ironmonger in Broad-street , Lambeth , and King had been porter in his service about seven years . Cooking was a marine store dealer in the New Cut . On the 30 th of March last from information that was given by the police to prosecutor , he went to the Lambeth-street Court , and having obtained a search warrant , went with constables Goff and Hayes to Simpson's place , and they there saw a man named Cocking , who acted as shopman . They searched the place and found in two casks about thirteen cwt . of fine nails mixed ; amongst them were some packages in brown paper , corresponding with prosecutor's stock . The defence was , that the charge had been trumped up by Cocking , and there was no identity of the property . Several witnesses gave the prisoners a good character , and they were Acquitted .

At the Worship-street Police Court Richard Reid , a dissolute-looking man , described as a blindmakcr at Shacklawell , was charged with a brutal assault upon hia wife . —The prisoner's wife , a pale , careworn-looking woman , whose face and eyes were shockingly contused and swollen , had gone out between twelve and one o'clock on tho preceding night to hunt after her husband , whom sho met disgracefully drunk , and returned home with him She had scarcely got him in doors , however , when he became surly and savage for being interfered with , apparently , and after applying to his wife the most disgusting epithets , dealt her such a furious blow between the eyes as to send her staggering across tho room , then swore , with a horrible imprecation , that he would kill her before the night was
out , and tried to get at her again to renew the attack . In fear of the consequences if he did so , sho rushed out of the room Bcreaming " Murder" and " Police , " and ran "Ho the yard to fasten him into the house , but tho prisoner instantly pursued her , and , notwithstanding her imploring him not to hit her ncain , gr . ispod her round the neck and beat her so brutally with his fists about the nead . face , and body , that , as she stated , sho was sure she must have been murdered hut for the fortunate interposition oi one of tho lodgers , who hastened to her assistance , and rescued her from further violence ; as it was , tho poor woman declared that sho was severely bruised all over , and that evonwhile giving her evidence she was suffering tlie most acute pain from illusage inflicted upon her .-JiJward Joyro , the lodger re ' erred to , deposed to the state in which he found the wife while the prisoner was beating her in the yard , and thr . t , though he was thoroughly drunk , she was perfectly sober . —Butson , a constable of the N division , also statod , that upon hearing fearful screams in voice he

She charged her husband with inflictii'g the injuries , and tho words were scarcely out of her mouth wheu the prisoner rushed at her again , declaring that he was determined to kill' her , and there was no doubt that she would have been subjected to still further cruelty if tho witness had not grasped him by the neck and lodged him in the station house . —The prisoner mado the usual excuse in such cases , of aggravation and drunkenness ; but Mr . Ilammill considered it a most scandalous outrage , and having fined him in the highest penalty— £ 5 , or in default to be committed for two months to the House of Correction , ordered him , moreover , to put in responsible sureties in the further sum of £ 20 for his peaceable conduct towards his wife for the six succeeding months , and , as he could not comply with either condition , he was carried away in th .

Tho proceedings , which did not oocupy many minutes , were brought to a close by defendant expressing , through his counsel , his regret for any misconduct of which he might have been guilty , and giving £ 5 for the poor-box of the court .

Prosocutrix told him he could not be permitted to sleep there , upon which he abused her in the vilest terms , and having rushed round tho counter , seized a carving-knife , and , advancing . towards her , swore he would cut her throat , and finding him about to carry his threat into exeoution , sho put her hands up to protect her throat , when he cut her hand bo severely that one of her fingers was nearly amputated .

Broderip said ifc was a very aggravated assault , and committed the accused for trial .
THE " GENTLEMEN" OF THE EXCHANGE . At the Mansion House , the undermentioned charges were brought by a detective ofiicer against several young men employed in the Stock Exchange . —Tho first person accused was Mr . E . Soileaux . —The police officer stated , that on Saturday , the 5 th of June , ho was in pursuit of a person who had obtained money under false pretences , and he followed that person up Hercules-pasjage , and believed ho had gone into the Stock Exchange . In consequence of this , he went to the door of the Exchange , and stated upen what business he had come , at tho same time informing the porter that he was an offioer . Upon this , a number of persons in the Stock Exchange came forward , and raised various cries , such as " Turn him out \ " " Kick him out 1 " <• Bonnet him ! " « ' He's a spy ! " and so on . They then hustled him , and pushed him about from side to side , but
refused to let him go in for the purpose of discovering the man for whom he was in search . He then went round to tho secretary of the Stock Exchange , and by him he was also refused any assistance , and he was told to get out of the office . —This evidence was confirmed by a publioan who had bcon with the last witness . —The answer to the charge was , that what had happened was a mere Stock Exchange lark ameng the young men , and had been construed by the officer into an assault . It was also submitted that the offi . cer had entered the building unceremoniously , and had not declared upon what authority he did so , and had used very gross and insulting language . Tho pushing which was complained of was not confined to any one individua ' . bufc was general . —Other charges were then brought against four other persons , who were alleged to have been engaged in the assault upon the officer . —Mr . Lewis , who appeared to prosecute , then said that , to show there was no vindictive feeling on the part of tho prosecution , he was
instructed to say that if tho accused apologize * for their conduot , the judgment of the magistrate should not ba applied for . —Mr . Ballantine considered that the offer was one which , under tho circumstances , ought not to be rejected ; and Alderman Wire said he was glad that the learned counsel had exercised such a sound judgment on the oocasion . He trusted that the investigation which had taken place would have the effaot of for ever putting an end to a practice which was at variance with the character of the gentlemen who constituted the great body of tha members . It might have beeR his duty , had not the compromise been effected , to have dealt very seriously with the matter , either with a heavy sentence or by sending it to a higher tribunal . He , at the same time , must express his strongest disapproval of tho filthy language used by the ofBcer , who , he was convinced , never would utter suoh words again , and whom he had long known ap a most active and deserving member of the city polioe-force .
DARING ROBBERY . At the Southwark Police Court , Michael Ryan and John Ryan , two powerful-looking young men , were brought before Mr .

pavement the prisoner and five or six other men camo towards them , and , as he was attempting to avoid them , Michael Ryan rushed upon him head foremost , and nearly deprived him of his senses ; at the same time he was surrounded by the other men , and one of them gave him a severe blow on the side of the head , when Michael Ryan put his hand into his waistooat pocket and stole his purse containing two sovereigns and a half .

Assistance having been promptly obtained the first thing sought to be accomplished was to open the dock-gates and let the tide in , it being apparent , that unless that was done , other vessels would be destroyed . Fortunately the tide soon flowed into the dock , but , notwithstanding that , another ship received considerable damage . Messengers having beon despatched to the various fire stations for assistance several engines of the London Brigade attended , as well as one of the parish , the dockyard float , and the floating engine of the brigade from Rotherhithe .

LIVERPOOL . The nomination for Liverpool took place on Tuesday . The friends of Mr . Cardwell assembled at an f ariy bouratthe house of Mr . Nicholl , a Liverpool merchant , in Abercrombysquare , about a mile from the Town-hall , and forming in procession , accompanied by banners and music , proceeded through the principal streets in the direction of the Townball . Messrs . Cardwell and Ewarfc were seated in an open barouche , and were enthusiastically cheered on their way .
On arriving in Gastle-street they alighted , and entered the Town-hall . The Protectionists appeared soon after , also accompanied by bannere and music , and took up their station on the west side of Castle-street . Happily for tho preservation of the peace , and to prevent the opposing parties from coming into collision , strong barriers , about six feet apart , placed in the centre of the street , separated the belligerents . Another precaution , which is worthy of notice for its ingenuity , mav be mentioned . It has been arranged that if . ^ in the prese ' nt excited state of the town , any fighting or rioting occurs in the vicinity of the polling booths , the mob shall be dispersed by pouring immense volumes of spring water upon them , for which purpose the mains are kept full , and a more cooling , and at the same time effectual , method of dispersing it , without much injury to life or limb , cannot be imagined . The proceeding- having been opened by the Mayor ,
Mr . G . H . Lawrence proposed Mr . Cardwell , as a fit acd proper person to represent Liverpool in Parliament . Mr . Hugh Hoesbt seconded the nomination . Mr . Thomas Moss proposed Mr . Forbe 3 Mackenzie as a member of a government that the merchants of Liverpool had lono desired to see . Mr . Feaxcis Shaw seconded the nomination briefly amidst great confusion and interruptions . Mr . Edmund Moltneux proposed Mr . Charles Turner . Mr . J . A . Tobix seconded the nomination . Mr . Habdmax Eablk proposed Mr . Joseph C . Ewart . Mr . ATm . Rathbone seconded the nomination . Mr . Card well then addressed the elector ^ in a long and most eloquent speech , which was frequently interrupted by vociferous cheering on the one hand and the most excruciating yells and uproar on the other . He said the Tories are determined to have protection in some shape or other , and that It is for the electors to decide whether they will have it or not .
Mr . Mackenzie then addressed the electors , in the course of which he advocated the policy of Lord Derby , and showed that the question at issue was not one of Free Trade v . Protection , but one relating to the Protestant institutions of the country . Mr . EwAMthen addressed the electors , declaring himself in favour of Free Trade and National Education . The Mayor called for a show of hand ? , which was declared to be in favour of Messrs . Cardwelland Ewart , followed by tremendous cheering . The polling took place on Wednesday , and terminated in the return of the two Protectionists . They headed the poll at eight o ' clock , and tppt their position during the whole of the day . Protectionist ribands and colours were to be seen in all directions ; but it was observed that most of those who voted for Mackenzie and Turner were in a state bordering on intoxication .
Shortly before five o ' clock the successful candidates appeared on the balcony of the Adelphi Hotel , and addressed an immense multitude , amidst great cheering . Messrs . Cardwe ! l { and Ewart , the defeated candidates , also addressed their supporters . The numbers were stated to be as follows : — Turner 6 , 553 . Mackenzie 6 263 Cardwell 5 , 213 Ewart 4 . 913

GARDENING CALENDAR . HABOT FRUIT GARDEN . Our previous directions should bo looked over ; the nailing and tying in of the current years ' wood should be continued . Many fine trees are in a deplorable state , from the uncongenial state of the weather during last month ; piach out the point of the present jear ' s woed of the fig before nailing them in . Stop and nail in vines , and still continue to watch the progress of the - green-flv Where new strawberry plantations are intended , prepare " the ground by deep trenching and well manuring with rotten duBj » lav into three-inch pots a sufficient number of the desired kinds of plants for the purpose ; this littlo trouble will be amply repaid bv tho quantity and quality of the first year ' s crop . FLOWEg GABDItt AND SHRBBBEBT . The recently planted beds will still require watching , to get the plants iu them fairly on the start . The heavy rains of the last mouth hare chilled the ground , and some of the more tender , or badly rooted things , look sickly . As the grounds and shrubberies are much frequented by company at this season , pay the more attention in keeping the greatest neatness and order in every part , where there are hands to admit of it ; flowering shrubs , as they go out of bloom , should have the dead flowers , &c , removed , and be slightly cut back . For the same reasons remove the seed pods from rhododendrons , tree poaonies , &c . ; these little attentions ( where they can be given without infringing on more important matters ) , will bo followed by an increased growth of the plant , and with the greater CBrfcsiinty of their blooming every season . The . propagation of carnations , picotees , cloves , &c , should not be longer delayed . As cuttings of the young grass will succeed at this season , a slight hotbed should be made , on which place a few inches of very sandy compost . Select the weakest grass for cuttings and place an air-tight hand-glass over them , Tho stronger shoots left will answer for layering . The present is a favourable time for putting in cuttings of all the more showy herbaceous plants , selecting for the purpose the small shoots noi furnished with bloom . A north border is a suitable place to strike them , and a handglass will facilitate their rooting quickly , l ' ansies for autumn blooming may be treated in the same way . Iledges should be well cut in with the shears , unless when formed of largo leaved plants , as laurel , turkey oak , &c , when the knife only should be employed , as the leaves look bad when clipped with the shears . As a deciduous plant for hedges , nothing is better than the Turkey or hybrid lucombe oak , and taxodium sempervirens will be found a most eligible plant for making evergreen hedges , as it grows quickly , bears the knife well , and has an agreeable appearance . FLORIST ' S FLOWiEES . Tulips may now be taken up ; allow the skin aud roots , after carefully removing the soil , to remain : these can be better taken off when the bulb is dry . Store them away cither in cabinets with the drawers properly numbered , or put them in thin paper , allowing them to dry gradually in an airy shady place . Continue to put in cuttings or pipins of pinks ; these root freely on a gentle hotbed , under hand-glasses , or they will succeed in the open border if kept du ! y shaded . Any one who is desirous to improve the race of this beautiful and fragrant flower ( . hould attempt to do something in the way of cross breeding , after becoming acquainted with the organs of fructification ; a little perseverance will ensure success . Push dahlias on , by watering ireely when the weather is dry ; also astiUthem by mulchingtheground with decayed stable manure ; take care that ihe plants do not chafe where attached to h ) blooming sticks . Take up seedling ranunculuses , these are often very small aud scarcely distinguishable . We have found it the safest and most expeditious plan to put the soil to the depth of two inches , in which they have i ; rown , in a fine wire scivo ; by pumping through them and stirring the soil it passes through with the water , leaving the roots ; these are nfterwards spread on sheets of paper , aud gra-. dually dried in the shade .
