ELECTION TALK.

Asiteurerox.—Mr. Poyntz comes forward again. It is said Sir Lawrence Palk, the former patron, will also stand..

Astrrox.—Mr. C. Ilindley has been requested to stand. Colonel -Williams is also talked of.

BLItliSIIIILE.—Mr. Palmer is still in the field. Mr. Throckmorton has been written to, but has not returned an answer whether he intends standing again or not. Two new candidates have started,—Mr. Pusey, of Pusey, in the lower part of the county, a stanch friend of the agricultural interests and a decided Anti-Reformer; and Mr. East George Clayton East, of Hall Place, near _Maidenhead (who took the name of East on succeeding Sir Gilbert East), son of Sir H. Clayton, of Harleyford, to oppose him as a Reformer. He is a very honest and highly respected man, but having hitherto lived a very retired life in the midst of a large family, is not well grounded in the questions of Reform be will have to legislate upon. We hope well of him, as he has been a steady supporter of the Bill in his neighbourhood during the late anxious period. Mr. Pusey canvassed Maidenhead and its neighbourhood on Wednesday. When asked his principles, he replied, "1 am not a politician, but I take Mr. Robert Palmer's opinions up.".- A pretty legislator ! Mr. East canvassed on Thursday; but the Re- formers were obliged to fight shy of him, as, although he was attended by several good men, among the rest by Mr. Pascoe Grenfell, yet he bad with him a Tory magistrate, Mr. Charles Sawyer, who proposed Mr. Palmer at the late nomination at Reading. This is an inconsis- tency in a young candidate, but time and a canvass will mend him. It was mentioned he promised on Wednesday to reform. Mr. Hallett will again start. —From a Berkshire Correspondent.

A correspondent of the Chronicle describes as a Tory manceuvre the Change of Bracknell for Wokingham as one of the polling--places of the county, and the addition of Ilsley, Maidenhead, and Farringdon, to the five places previously appointed. Eight polling-places suppose a con- stituency of 4,800; we hardly think that Berks contains so many. At the same time, the more places, the easier will it be to poll out. The Reformers of Berks cut a poor figure at the last election ; we trust they will show more energy and independence at the next.

Attwood and Mr. Scholefield. The names are quite enough. BLACKBURN.—Dr. Bowring will be one member. Mr. Turner of Shrigley is in the field, a Reformer also. BOLTON.—Mr. Ashton Yates has canvassed, and he and Colonel Torrens will be returned.

BUM:WORM—Mr. E. C. Lister, a Reformer ; and Mr. Banks and Mr. Hardy, men of moderate principles, moderate pretensions, and

moderate expectations.

CHATHAM.—Lieutenant- Colonel Maberly addressed the electors on Tuesday. CHELTENHAM.— The Honourable Craven Berkeley has obtained the promises of three fourths of the electors.

Citalsrcituaen.—The Reformers here had been looking to a Mr. Tapps, not that he was the man exactly to their minds, though he pro- leased to be a Reformer ' - bat as he had influence over his father's teeants, it was thought he would have been useful to oppose Sir George Rose. It is, however' strongly suspected, that he and Sir George Rose have coalesced, for he says he will not stand if Sir George Rose does. In this way, the Reformers have been led on for more than twelvemonths, and are now completely betrayed. Their remedy is in their own hands ; they can kick out both pretenders.

DEWONPORT.—Mr. Bellenden Carr is spoken of. Mr. Carr is one of the Lord Chancellor's Secretaries. It strikes us that there are rather a superfluity of the Chancellor's affix/ids among the candidates. Two brothers, a step-son, and a secretary, seem an pen de trop.

Hodgetts Foley will be re-elected. DUDLEY.—Mr. Campbell, member for Stafford, conies forward. Mr. S. Rice was invited, hut has declined.

DeftlIA31.—The representatives for this county are already secured. Bedworth Lambton, Esq., the brother of Lord Durham, and Sir 1-led- worth Williamson, the present member for the county, will be returned for the Northern district. John Bowes, Esq., of Streattam Castle, and R.. Shafto, Esq., will walk over the course for the Southern divi- sion. All parties are of Liberal polities. The gallant peer of Wyn- yard has exerted himself in vain to -find a Tory candidate ;all the aid which could be rendered by the Reverend Prince Palatine and the. sapient Lord of Ilavensworth were insufficient to stay the falling for- tunes of misrule in the county of Durham.

EXE.—The Hon. W. Henniker, son of Lord Henniker, comes for- ward.

FAT.NOUTII.—Lord Palmerston has declared for Falmouth, and se- cured, it is said, it majority of the electors. His :osacess is said to be certain, if no other Reformer appear. Sir Richard Vvvyan will, it is said, be returned with his Lordship; and certainly, if we must have Tories at all, we can hardly get an honester one.

FINSIIURY.—The inhabitants of this district do not mean to bestow their votes lightly or hastily. We commend most strongly the sound spirit by which they are actuated. They met yesterday, at the work- house in Gray's Inn Lane; when the following resolutions were passed

unanimously- " That, will, a view to a duliberate and sound exerci,o of the important elect h-e franchi,e cont;..rred on this distriet, it a:-Iwars espe:lient that a preliminary meeting

should ;:c ma aea:di fer of con.tit Cu:amit tee to confer and

to reprewat the herun:;ii of hi Parliament.

" That until such .:c: :1 Coin:oir shall he soccitti Lilted, it be recommended to each elector to withhold it ,:y promise of his v.:Ie."

FROME.—Rear- Admiral Boyle and Mr. T. Sheppard. GATESHEAD.—Mr. Cuthbert IlippOn has canvassed the town. GnEr.s:wren.—Air. Angerstein comes forward, as a Reformer. HALIPAX.—Mr. C. Wood, Earl Grey's son-in-law, has been invited to stand. Captain St. George Lister leis slso addressed the electors. lisassocu.—?Jr. 1). W. Harvey intredwed a new candidate to the electors on Friday, in the person of Air. Frazier—a Reformer of course. An unfortzmute eeeident marked their entry. Same ruffians had placed a rope versss the road, which tripped up three of the their horses of Mr. _Harvey's vehicle. The postillions escaped unhurt, but a boy of the mob was thrown down, and killed on the spot, by the wheel passing over his laid. The talk at Harwich is, that Mr. Berries—Mr. Rothschild's friend—the gentletuun clerk, who has amassed a princely fortnee in the course of a few years, out of a salary barely sufficient to maintein him, is to Ile returned along with Mr. Tower. We hope the talk is that of sonic small fritnd of Mr. Herries.

niMERSFIELD.—Mr. Ramsdell will in future represent this borough, which is his own, instead of the county of York.

KENDAL—The Carlisle Journal gives the following laughable anec- dote of Alderman Thompson's canvass for Kendal. The poor Alder- man will remember Appleby as long as he lives. The canvassers in his interest called at a house in Highgate, where there was only a little girl, about twelve years of age ; when the following dialogue came off.

Canvassers—" Where's your father?" Girl—" He's poorly ; what did ye want with him?" Canvassers—" We want him to vote for Aides man Thomp- son." Girl—" Nay, then, I's sure he waint ; for he's Blue." Canvassers-

" Well, we want him to vote for a blue: old Thompson is a blue ! " Girl- " Nay, nay, but they say when he's drunk he's a yellow !"

LEEDS.—At a great meeting, held at the Cloth Hall on Friday, in honour of the Reform triumph, Mr. Macaulay was introduced to the electors. Mr. Macaulay explained the principles on which be held office, very fairly and consistently.

" I do not deny that on some particular questions, it may occasionally be desirable anti necessary for official men—as it is desirable and necessary for every man, official or not, who co-ouerates with others—to suspend or delay fur a time pressing forward things which he thinks most important. That there may be government thew must be co- operation ; that there may be co-operation there must be compromise. The Reform liIl itself is a compromise. What should we have done if one man, because he was for triennial Parliaments—if another, because he was for scot and lot suffrage—if a third, because he was for district representation—had each brought forwarct his own plan, and had not united in support of that plan of which we are met this day to celebrate the triumph? On questions, therefore, on which honest men may make a compromise. I will make it ; and on no other. But this I say, that my attachment to the great principles of civil and religious liberty, of freedom of worship, freedom of discussion, and freedom of trade. remains unaltered and unalterable. I accept office because I believe I can act with more efficiency, as I certainly will with undiminished real, in support of these great objects."

A Mr. Ostler, or some such name, made a dead set against Mr. Macaulay, on the subject of Mr. Sadler's Factory Bill ; the burden of which was " the ten hours' principle." Mr. Macaulay escaped from the horse-collar with great dexterity. He said-

" The general rule—a rule not more lxmeficial to the capitalist than to the labourer— is this, that contracts shall be free, and that the State shall not interfere between the master and the workman. To this general rule there is an exception. Children cannot protect themselves, and are therefore entitled to the protection of the public. As we prevent thcm, wiicti they are tieh, front squandering their propnty, so we ought to prevent them whtli they are poor, from :squandering that fund of health and strength which is their only property. This I held to he the principle of the bill is question. To this principle I have pledged myself ; and I will pledge myself to nothing more."

The Standard, which acts by Mr. Sadler the part which Warburton did by Pope—gives him meinung where be has none, and explains him where he is incapable of explaining himself—is very angry with Mr. Macaulay, but the men of Leeds will vote for him nevertheless.

LINCOLN.—There was a grand display at Lincoln on Monday, on which dav Mr. E. L. Bulwer canvassed the electors in person. Co- lonel Sibihorp was also there, whiskers and all. It is most creditable to the Reformers of Lincoln, that AIr. Bulwer's efforts to relieve the press from its tnuninels' forms one of his principal recommendations

to their notice. and Mr. Heneage feel perfectly confident of being returned. Mr. Bulwer dined with the Alayor on Monday.

Lnete.laD.—Mr. C. Buller, who supported the Bill in all its stages, comes forward. Lord Eliot is canvassing the old boroughs interest.

LONDON.—A meeting of the Livery of London took place on Tues- day, at the Guildhall Chambers, to consider whether any and what pledges should be exacted from the candidates for the City of London at the general els.ction. Air. Williams said, it WaS the duty of every body to see that no means were lost to insure all the benefits to the Psople that ought to result from the Reform. At the last City elec- tiou, they lied eeei: the benefit of exacting pledges from their represen-

tatives, and ',kir example had been et1 all over the country. He

concluded proposi;:g: several resolutions, to the elect that it was

necessary et the pet time for the People, with a view to receive the benefits guarentesd by the Reform Bill, to ex:at such pledges from their representatives as wculd be most likely to effect that object. The pledges were—Ist, the abelition of Tithes; t2d, a modification of the Corn-laws ; 8d, repeal of the Assessed Taxes ; and 4th, a repeal of

the Septene Act. The resolutions were seconded. A long discus- sion then cesusd hetween several members of the Committee, respect- ieg the ceestituticn of the Assembly and its powers ; and it was ulti- merely resale, !!. to rsfer the whole matter to a Sub-Counnittee, and to heve zl goner; I locci:ng of those entitled to vote under the Reform Bill.

i:T.1).--Mr. J. Ilyle and Mr. J. Ihmelsleherst junior.

ArAnvee:eos:E.—Sir William 'Lorne has addressed the electors ; and a req-::;,ii.tuil hits been very generally signed, ceiling on Mr. 33. Portman

to stand.

Mmertivit-Timme—Mr. Guest, Member for Honiton, will sit for Merthyr.

Ounessr.—Sir T. Beevor, Mr. Otway Cave, Mr. Cobbett, and Mr. Stanley arc nemed.

PETEI1F41'11-11.D.—Air. Shaw Leferre has addressed the electors as a Reform earldiklete.

Rve..—Colenel Evans comes forward; his re-election is quite Mfr.

SALICRD.-1111r. Brotherten, a Dissanting, preacher, and Air. Hop- kins, a retired tradesman, are the candidates.

STAs7 Fat:D.—Mr. D. Wakefield junior,:the barrister, stands for Stam- ford. Mr. Wakefield Fresided at a dinner in hono.ur of the Reform Bill out Thursday scouight, oo which occasion he addressed the electors present at co:o-oh rslle length, and with great spirit. One of his - pledges is svottlly of living noted- " Another pia! iii it ttiiti you ,Itueld dine!. your at is. shortening the duration of Pariiammte.

We hope this example will spread. The registry will afford a ready means for the nial,a-ity expressing their opinions.

STOCKPORT.—.Major Marsland.

Poulett Scrape, Mr. Hyett, and Mr. Ricardo—all Reformers—will stand here.

SUNDERLAND.—Sir William Chaytor and Captain Barrington will - be returned for this town. The former gentleman is a banker in Sun- derland, and father to the present member for the city of Durham. The latter is one of the Lords of the Admiralty : he isbrought forward by Lord Durham and Sir H. Williamson. There is still some talk of opposition, but it will be fruitless. Lord Londonderry was very anxious to have returned his nephew, Mr. Wood, for Sunderland; but finding how little reaction had prospered in that town, he was constrained to abandon the project. Why should Lord Londonderry return Mr. Trevor for the City of Durham ? Mr. Trevor is an unknown man ; and he will be quite unfit to represent any constituency until old women shall be enfranchised.

TOWER HAMLETS.—The report that Mr. Barnett and Mr. Buxton were candidates was premature. The candidates are Dr. Lushington and Mr. W. Crawford. A meeting of the electors takes place on Thursday next.

WAKEFIELD.—The candidate, at present the only one, is Mr. D. Gaskell.

WALLINGEORD.—Mr. Knight will be again in the field. Wananewrox.—Mr. J. Blackburn and Mr. G. Hornby. WESTBURY.—Sir Francis Lopez, it is said, will come forward : his election is considered secure.

WEYMOUTH.—Sir Frederick Johnstorm has impudently boasted that he would return two members for the emancipated borough.

If Sir Frederick Johnstone, or any man, have power to convert Weymouth, or any other representative town, into a nomination bo- rough, we give both him and his serfs warning, that it shall be added to Schedule A before the next session be up. The power that swept off fifty-six will n riot be stayed by one. It is justice to the electors to say, that they received the announcement of their would-be patron with great contempt ; though, with singular inconsistency, some of them have stated their readiness to support Sir Frederick himself, should he offer his services—after offering them so gross an insult. Mr. Fowell Buxton addressed the electors, with perfect acceptance, on Saturday.

WHITBY.—Mr. Moorsom, a Reformer, and Mr. A. Chapman, banker, an Anti-Reformer.

WurrEnAvEx.—Mr. J. Littledale, a Reformer, will, it is said, be opposed by Mr. M. Attwood, the pm.ent nominee for Boroughbridge.

WOODSTOCK.—Lord Blandford, the old representative, comes for- ward here, and has addressed the new constituency.
