The Liverpool Chronicle announces that Mr. Brancker will not be a candidate for Liverpool at the next election, in consequence of illness in his family; and recommends the Liberals to supply his place with Mr. Robert Ellison Harvey, or Mr. Rathbone. Our contemporary trusts that, at all events, the new candidate will be "no trimmer, no shunter, no half-and-half, cold-shouldering Whig, but a true unflinching Reformer." We hope this advice will be taken, and a worthy colleague of Mr. Ewart be returned in the place of Lord Sandon.
Mr. George William Wood, of Manchester, is talked of as the successor of Mr. Barham for Kendal. Also Mr. William Brougham.
Mr. William Best, son of Lord Wynford, will be a candidate for Weymouth at the next election ; and Sir R. Bromley for South Nottinghamshire.
A correspondent at Hastings informs us, that we committed an error last week in stating that a dinner had been given in that town to Mr. Hollond, the Liberal candidate to succeed Mr. Elphinstone : the dinner, he says, was given by Mr. Holland, and was the first of a series of "feeds," to be interspered with occasional balls, all at the expense of the said Mr. Hollond. If this is true, and that gentleman depends upon corruption for his success, we wish he may lose his election, be his party politics what they may.
So strong is the conviction on the minds of the Ministerial adhe- rents that a general election is inevitable, that on Wednesday last applications were made to the various coach and posting-masters in Leeds to engage all the horses and carriages for Northern Members in the Whig interest. The Conservatives had been, however, beforehand with them, and had given retainers to the proprietors.—Leeds Intelli- yencer.
From a statement in the Leeds Mercury it appears, that there are 29 Dissenting chapels and only 8 churches in Leeds township; and, says the Mercury, the Dissenters are twice as numerous as the Churchmen.
At the close of the Winchester Assizes, " Who-are-you " Williams, the chimney-sweeper, had judgment of death recorded against him, for a burglary at Lymington.
