Sir George Grey has slightly relented: he now tells the electors of North Northumberland, that should the result of the canvass answer the expecta- tion of his friends, he would not feel himself justified in any longer refusing to contest the county.

Lord George Manners comes forward for the representation of Caw- , bridgeshire.

A severe contest is expected for Monmouthshire. Captain Soznereet has

bean put forward by the Duke of Beaufort, in opposition to Lord Gran- ville Somerset, the Duke's brother. Lord Granville's offence is, that he supported the commercial policy of Sir Robert Peel; and Captain Somer- set is put forward as a Protectionist.

For Oxford University, the case stands somewhat thus—Mr. Eatcourt retires, but Sir Robert Inglis stands again; and the high Protestant party support Mr. Round, the member for North Essex, as their candidate. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Cardwell try for the vacant seat; but, though seeming to oppose one another, the Standard hints that they are conspiring against Sir Robert Inglis.

The Education question has caused a split in the Liberal ranks at Leeds; and Mr. Edward Baines junior is working for an Anti-State Education Member.

In consequence of the retirement of Mr. Robert Scott, two candidates are in the field for Walsall; Mr. C. Forster, and the Honourable Edward Littleton, son of Lord Hatherton.

Mr. Hurst's intention to retire from Horsham has led to active measures for supplying his place.. Mr. John Jervis, the son of the Attorney-General, is the favoured candidate. He met the electors on Saturday, at the An- chor Hotel in Horsham, and there expounded his views. He was for Free- trade, against the Malt-tax, and for a modification of the Game-laws--it might not be well to abolish game altogether, lest the landlords should want inducement to reside in the country: he did not approve of aiding

Papists" in any way, but would not disturb the Maynooth grant. The meeting declared Mr. Jervis to be a fit and proper person to represent Horsham.

The gloom which for several weeks had hung over Manchester has been somewhat dispelled, by the joint operation of an easier money-market and the satisfactory nature of the advices brought by the Cambria from the United States. Not that much actual improvement has taken place, but there is generally a better feeling abroad, and a more cheerful inquiry after goods. The increased monetary accommodation has also told at Liverpool.

On Wednesday week, a meeting of the unemployed at Manchester was held, to the number of abort two thousand, in a vacant ground at the back of the gas-works in the Rochdale Road. The avowed object was to deli- berate on the impending crisis; and a disposition was shown to interfere with those in work. A general meeting of the trades is supposed to be in agitation.

At Wadebridge, in Cornwall, provisions having become very dear, about two hundred miners from St. Austell, Roche, and Luxnlyan, entered the town on Wednesday week, to prevent the shipment of corn. Finding that no corn was to be shipped, they broke open the store-cellars. The die turbances were resumed on the following day; but the arrival of a party of Fusiliers from Plymouth on Friday morning restored order. Similar scenes were enacted at Callington, among- the mining population. They seized the corn, and sold it out at a price arbitrarily fixed by themselves.

The same turbulent spirit was exhibited in Exeter on Friday. About noon, a general attack was made on the bakers' and provision-dealers' shops, and the farmers were assailed in the corn-market. This mob was com- posed chiefly of women. Several farmers were struck, and a baker was very much beaten in attempting to defend his shop from pillage. Subse- quently, the corn-stores and residence of Messrs. Lercombe were attacked, and the windows broken. The authorities at length made a demonstra- tion, and, headed by the Mayor, succeeded in arresting the leaders of the riot; which had the effect of subduing the disturbance. In the even- ing, the Yeomanry were mustered, and the Pensioners assembled to be ready for action in case of need.

Similar disturbances took place at Torquay on Tuesday; and the butchers' and bakers' shops wore plundered.

At Taunton, on Saturday, the-people became very outrageous, loudly complaining of the advanced price of provisions. The market was attacked by a large crowd; the farmers, millers, and factors were driven off ; and the corn was seized. The mob insisted that the corn and flour should be sold at the old prices; and they proceeded to sell out the captured provi- sions themselves, at low rates. The meat upon the shambles was distri- buted amongst the crowd at 5d. a pound, the market-price being 8d. The mob then paraded the streets with joints of meat and loaves. Special con- stables were sworn in; the High Bailiff read the Riot Act, and ordered the public-houses to be closed. The outbreak was thus checked for the time but revived in the evening, and the constables were attacked with stones, which wounded several. The Yeomanry were called out; and on Sunday the town was tranquil. On.Monday, however, similar occuerences took place; the mob persisting in their demand for the sale of wheat at 10s. a bushel. An attack was commenced on the house of Mr. MatheWs, a corn- dealer. The Riot Act was again read, and the most active ringleaders were taken into custody and committed to prison. The Pensioners were drawn out with fixed bayonets on the parade. In the evening, a body of men armed with bludgeons marched into the town by the East gate: but they were soon overpowered, and several wore committed to gaoL

Hannah Rouse, the young woman who was suspected of poisoning her mother and the rest of the family at Bury St. Edmund's, has been liberated from custody; there being hardly anything to implicate her.

Another-man has been arrested on suspicion of having been concerned. in the three murders at MirfielrL His name is Patrick Reed; like M'Cabe, lie is an Isialnuan, and a hawker of pots. It is said that. Mr. Wraith had a considerable amount of money in the house, which had been carried off.

While the miners were at work, on Monday morning, in a colliery at Beaton, near Leeds, they unfortunately broke into as old pit; a great quantity of fir1/- damp poured in, took fire, and exploded-with terrific force.
