ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

FROM various quarts 1a we have received additions to our election in- telligence of Ito. %% Lek. In some cases the means of correctisos mis.

takes have lk vs: supplied, in others, information confirmatory of last week's sivtemcnts. To all our industrious correspondents in this de- partsiwni of jounialism we offer thanks, and request a continuance of their vigilance. If not invariably used, their valuable communications always receive attention, and tend to throw light on the election prospects of Whigs, Tories' and the Independent Reformers.

ABINGDON. Mr. John Forbes, a Liberal, opposes Mr. Duffield, the Tory Member.

ANDOVER. Mr. Etwall and Sir John Pollen will probably be re- elected.

Baru. The candidates in the field am o General Palmer, Mr. Roe- buck, Lord Powerscourt, Mr. Bruges, and a Captain Scobell, R. N. The two first have every chance of success ; their friends forming the most intelligent and honest portion of a constituency whose general conduct has hitherto been an example to all other electors in the em- pire. Lord Powerscourt is a red-hot Orange Irishman, and is a nephew of the friend of the Duke of Cumberland, Lord Roden. Mr. Bruges is Recorder of Devizes, and was put into the office by Mr. Estcourt, when the Corporation of Devizes was unreformed ; and claims support from the fact of his possession, through very odd circum- stances, of part of the property of the Long family, in Wiltshire. Captain Scobell is a Whig, and calls himself the Government candidate. He is supported by a club called the Bath Rump. He was made a County Magistrate by the late Marquis of Bath ; but, having mode- rated some Tory opinions, he has for some time been, and, thanks to the new Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Lord Ileliester, continues to be, the only County Magistrate within twelve miles of Bath who, with the exception of Colonel Langton, M. P., professes even Tory- Whiggism, all his other coadjutors being violent Tories. His address is very vague; and states, " that for any section of Reformers to as. suine the direction and degree of reform, is, virtually, to strengthen its enemies ; " meaning thereby, it must be supposed, that the Treasury ought to be served by those who are unable to take any part in the ad- vancement of public improvement. It was not supposed that he would come forward ; but he has this week announced his intention to go to the poll. This city has hitherto been most pure in the character of its electioneering proceedings; but at this time suppers are given every night, public-houses are opened, and every vicious stratagem of intimi-

dation a i

rind corruption is n operation. From the majority of electors prayers for the Ballot are openly uttered ; and little _difference is seen by them between the Government that oppresses the people, and the Government that refuseeto protect them from oppression in the per- formance of their public duties. Mr. H. W. Hobhouse, the first op- ponent of Mr. Roebuck, has honourably lent his aid to both the sitting Members.

BEDFORD. Mr. Crawley will be opposed by Mr. R. Stuart. The result of this election is very doubtful.

BEVERLEY. Mr. Hogg, the sitting Member, whose purse is not yet drained, Sir Edward Vavasour, and Mr. Joseph Sykes, are candidates. Ihnesithir. Mr. Walter, in a querulous address to the electors, announces his intention not to contest the county. He says that he finds it in vain to attempt to repeal the Pooi-law' and therefore he does slot see any use in remaining in Parliament ; but hopes to resume the clue acter of the Poor Man's Magistrate. We suspect that 'Walter's place will be filled by a Tory. A Lord Barrington has offered himself. BucemoliasisiusiE. The Whigs are making an attempt to get one Member out of three, and Mr. Thomas Smith has been applied to. BOSTON. Mr. Wilks retires, on account of indisposition. BuisTor.. The Honourable F.' H. Berkeley, brother of Lord Se- grave, a Ballot-man, and professed follower of Lord Durham, is a can- didate. Mr. Alderman Fripp and Mr. P. J. Miles are the Tory can- didates. Sir Richard Vyvyan retires ; Mr. Bright refuses to stand. It is evident that in Bristol matters are in a very uncertain state.

BOLTON. It is understood that both the present Members will be reelected. The state of Bolton is described as "lethargic."

BRIDPORT. We are glad to learn that Mr. Swynfen Jervis, a supporter of the Ballot, will almost certainly be returned for .Bridport with Mr. Warburton, notwithstanding his opponent, Mr. Henry Baillie, talks largely, and says he will go to the poll. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED. Sir Rufane Donkin, we are told, is safe; and the worst that can happen is an exchange of another Tory for Mr. Bradshaw. At the last election the Tory had a considerable ma- jority.

BRECONSHIRE. Major Halford, a Whig, opposes the present Tory Member, Colonel Wood.

CIRENCESTER. The Reformers would like to have Sir John Guise, but we suspect that Lord Bathurst will not let them.

CovEserav. Mr. John Bell, of the London Mercury, is a candidate, as well as Mr. Ellice and Mr. Williams.

CARMARTHEN. Mr. David Morris, a Reformer, will oppose Mr. Lewis, the present Tory Member.

C;;r3IIIRE. Mr. George Wilbraham has again announced himself as a oitialidate for the Southern Division. COCKERMOUTH. For some reason, not stated, Mr. Hinman retires' Major Benson, son of the late Mr. Thomas Benson, a solicitor of Cockermouth, is a Liberal candidate. Mr. Aglionby is secure of his reelection.

CUMBERLAND. If the Reformers of East Cumberland had ever any doubts as to the propriety of ejecting Sir James Graham, we should suppose that the baronet's second address would remove them, That document is indescribably sneaking. Alluding to the requisition to Mr. James and Major Aglionby, already signed by half the electors in the county, Sir James says-

" I see attached to this requisition the names of so many former supporters and persoual friends, that I am unwilling to comment with asperity on the unfairness of this proceeding; which rests mainly on garbled extracts fro, speeches delivered by me on the hustings, or to resent the language applied to my public conduct, which these gentlemen were pleased to say they see with sorrow and with shame. * *• I stand on my old ground : I sin an inde- pendent country gentleman, whose opinions are known, and whose principles have been tried. I ask only for one seat when two are vacant. I do not pre. some to say who should be my colleague; but I do say that I am not so un- worthy as to merit absolute exclusion, and to be forced out by an attempt to dictate to a great coustituency, and to engross the entire representaticii in favour of those who profess extreme opinions, and who reject every modification. I shall be proud of receiving support from every quarter that may be disposed to give it, on public grounds, and in defence of the institutions which I have laboured no less to improve than to uphold ; but you may rest assured that I have compromised no opinions, and done nothing unworthy of that indepen. deuce which I have endeavoured through my life to maintain."

Out with him ! He will receive support from "every quarter !" No doubt, lie will get all the votes be can from Lord Lonsdale and other Tories.

DURHAM. Sir Charles Wetherell is talked of as the Tory candidate with Mr. Trevor, against Harland and Granger, the first a Whig, the second a Radical.

DERBY. Mr. Strutt and Mr. Ponsonby, both declaring themselves advocates of the Ballot, are the Liberal candidates. The Honourable Francis Curzon, son of Lord Scarsdale, is the Tory candidate, with very small chance of success.

Dunham. An attempt will yet be made to keep the Northern Division of this county out of Tory clutches. DUDLEY. Mr. Merryweather Turner has put forth a Radical ad- dress; but we fear that Mr. Hawkes, the Tory, will be returned after a severe contest.

DROITWICH. As we stated last week, there is a good chance of the Tories being beaten here. Mr. Gallon, a Radical, has considerable local influence; and the decision of the Revising Barrister, which put the shareholders of the Droitwich Patent Salt Company on the Register, gives many votes to the Radicals, while the Tories had only n majority of I at the last election in favour of' Mr. Barneby.

DORSETSHIRE. Mr. W. Ponsonby retires; and Mr. J. G. Fox Strangways is a candidate in his room.

EVESHAM. Somebody " ponies" for Peter, who is pretty sure of his election. Mr. Bowles is also in the field. Lord Marcus Hill in- tends to try his chance again ; but in Evesham it is a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, and we expect that the Tories will succeed. EAST SURRY. The Honourable Locke King succeeds Major Beauclerk. Mr. King, in a Liberal address to the constituency, de- clares himself a Ballot-man, and refers with honest pride to the poli- tical career of the late Lord King ; whose opinions together with (we hope) his talents he inherits.

EAST RETFORD. Mr. Arthur Duncombe and Mr. Granville Version will probably be reelected. GATESHEAD. Mr. Cuthbert Rippon will probably be reelected : his opponents arc Mr. Surtees, a Tory, and Mr. Williamson, a" ale- derate Whig."

HUNTINGDONSHIRE. Mr. George Thornhill and Mr. Edward Fel- lowes are the Tory candidates.

Hanalei'. Mr. Tower, a Reformer, and Captain Alexander Ellice, brother of Edward Ellice, have been sounding the inde- pentknt constituency of Harwich, now represented worthily by Me,srs. Herries and Bonham.

HONITON. Colonel Baillie, the Tory sitting- Member, is again a candidate. Mr. Chichester retires. Mr. Alexander will probably be the new Tory, Mr Stuart, the new Radical candidate.

HUNTINGDON. No opposition is expected to Sir F. Pollock and Colonel Peel.

HERTFORD. Lord Mahon and the Honourable William Cowper will probably be reelected without opposition. HERTFORDSHIRE. Mr. Brand retires, and the three sitting Members will be reelected. .

HASTINGS. Mr. Frederick North retires.

HAVERFORDWEST. Mr. Scourfield, of the Trimmer class, will pro. bably be opposed by Sir R. B. Phillips, a Whig. Ipswich. The cause of Mr. 5Iorrison's retirement is, the enormous expense of a contest for this profligate place. KIDDERMINSTER. There is a debt of ROL or 9001. to be discharged by the Liberals before any body but Mr. Godson can have a chance here ; and cash is scarce among the Liberals.

KENDAL. Mr. George William Wood, a Whig of pliable material, and the partner of Mr. Mark Phillips, will probably succeed Mr. Barham.

LEWES. Mr. Thomas Brand and Sir Charles Blunt are the Whig candidates. Mr. Henry Fitzroy stands again on the Tory interest.

MALDON. Mr. J. Round, of Danbury, intends to stand with Mr. Dick, in the hope of ejecting Mr. Lennard.

LANCASHIRE. It seems to be finally determined that Mr. Stanley son of Colonel Stanley, and Mr. Charles Towneley are to stand on the Liberal interest for the Southern Division.

LINCOLN. Colonel Charles Churchill, a Ballot-man, is candidate with Mr. Edward Bulwer. We hope they will both succeed.

We perceive by a letter in the Medical Gazette, that the medical men of Lincoln are making interest with the candidates in that quarter to ob- tain some reform in the laws which regulate their profession. The idea is a good one : now is the time for all the " interests " to take care of themselves ! Surely those of science ought not to come last.

.....—

Losmost. The City Tories are in a state of hopeless chagrin. They tried to get Mr. Lye11 to.stard : but that gentleman, as a letter

indiscreetly written by his son Informed the Lumber Troup, was dis- gusted with his party : Ile would not consent to fight a desperate battle at his own expense. Mr. Horsley Palmer as then applied to ; and he lies addressed the constituency, offering himself on commercial

grounds, independently of politics. Air. Palmer, however, says be has political principles.; and they are " loyalty to the Sovereign and attach-

ment to our constitution in church and state." How definite and satis- factory ! Does Mr. Palmer pay his own expenses ? We suspect he is not such a greenhorn. Probably, but for the exposure in young Mr. Lyall's letter, he would not have been induced to come forward at all.

LYNN. Mayor Keppel will try to eject one of the present Tory Mellibers.

LEICESTER. Goulburn and Gladstone, Easthope and Duckworth, are all in the field. The Tories say that they have a majority of 200 votes safe ; but we do not believe them. LEOMINSTER. Mr. Bisli has retired. We suspect that two Tories will be returned. The cause of this change is said to be the intrusion of Alr. Greenaway, a Whig, whereby the Liberal interest (such as it is in Leominster) was divided.

LEICESTERSHIRE. Air. Charles March Phillips retires from the Northern Division.

MACCLESFIELD. Mr. Ryle retiring, the Tories have put up Mr. Grimsditch and Mr. Townshend, to oppose the Liberals Brocklehurst and Greg. MAIDSTONE. R is probable that Mr. Roberts will yet be induced to start. Disraeli the Younger is the second Tory candidate.

MansneiroNe. Colonel Thompson, Colonel Leicester Stanhope, Sir Samuel nalley, Mr. Murphy, Mr. G. A. Young, Lord Teign- mouth, Sir John Scott Lillie, and Mr. Benjamin Hall, are the candi- dates. The Tories, be it observed, have only one candidate, Lord Teiguniouth; the Liberals should unite upon two. Of the candi- dates, there can be no doubt, that as respects ability, knowledge, and industry, Colonel Thompson, and after him we should say Mr. Hall, are the foremost. There is nothing like a comparison to be insti- tuted between those gentlemen and their competitors, ill any one point which it behoves an independent and extensive constituency to look to. Most earuestly therefore do we hope, that in selecting their candidates

the Alarylebone Reformers will fix upon Colonel Thompson and Mr. Hail; und if they can make up their differences, they may carry any two they please triumphantly. Among the candidates enumerated, it will be seen that Mr. Henry Bulwer is not one. Ms health is the assigned cause of AIr. Bulwer's resignation, but that gentleman had no chance of being elected : and we suppose that he has not much expectation of being returned hereafter for Marylebone ; for, although in a farewell address, he hints at a renewal of their connexion, the sneering manner in which he alludes to the party in the borough which has proved strong enough to shelve him, us well as to the "aspiring candidates," seems to preclude the hope of his again being Member for Al.trylebone. It now appears that the Marylebone Reformers were guilty of no undue precipitancy in preparing for another election' and supplying the vacancy about to be caused by Mr. Bulwer's withdrawal. Yet for this they were lec- tured, in a supercilious tone, by that gentleman. MONTGOMERY. Colonel Edwards will be vehemently opposed by the Tories.

MIDDLESEX. There will be no splitting of votes in the contest for the Metropolitan county. The Tories, for the first time in a long course of years, bring forward two candidates,—Mr. Wood of Littleton and Mr. Pownall. It is singular that persons of more notoriety have not been chosen. One would have thought that the best policy for the Tories were to put forth their best men, in a struggle which must be a very severe one, and in which victory would amply compensate the most distinguished members of the party. For some reason, however, the Opposition candidates are men of little mark or likelihood—with- out public reputation of any kind, except that of having been beaten, Mr. Wood in Middlesex and Mr. Pownall in Finsbury.

The Whigs and Radicals seem to have united to carry Mr. Hume and Mr. Byng. There is one committee, and no apparent division. Both the Liberal candidates have a good chance of being carried, but we suspect that Mr. Hume has the best. Were it not the opinion of the IVhigs that Mr. Hume was stronger than their own man, Mr. Byng, they never would have been cajoled by Joseph's "patting on the back" system to support him. The fact seems to be, that Mr. Bylig has hitherto owed his high standing on the poll to Tory votes, which will now be withdrawn; and if it were only to conceal the low condition of the Whigs in Middlesex, it would be worth while to effect a coalition with Hume,—who, on his part, is but too glad to escape part of the cost of a contest. Such are the inducements on both sides for that elective "union among Reformers," of which the Drury Lane dinner, at the beginning of the session, was the first public manifestation. Of the two Whig and Radical candidates, there cannot be a ques- tion that Mr. Hume is the more fit for duty, for he is yet able to get through work and be of service; while, as a Member of Parlia- ment, Mr. Byng is good for nothing but to give his vote. He can neither speak nor work ; and, according to his own repeated admission, is too old and infirm to do justice to the constituency which hits sent him to Parliament. It is really absurd to elect such au incapable per- son; and if his supporters are asked why they vote for him, ten out of twelve will mention his liberality, his charities, his property and standing in the county—not his Parliamentary services, for it would puzzle anybody to specify them. Mr. Hume, on the other hand, is a man of all work ; and though lately lie has discovered signs of breaking down, and at any rate has not succeeded so well in Parliament as for- merly, still, in a business point of view, he is superior to the common run of candidates, and, in so far, by many degrees the best man of the four who offer themselves to the Middlesex constituency. So large a number of voters have been added to the register since Me last election for Middlesex, and it is so long since the opposing parties, two against two, were fairly brought into the field, that it is

6 hazardous to predict the result of the coining election; but we should „ it probable that Mr. Hume and a Tory will be returned—if 11Yrig get in, k will be by the aid of Radical, not of Tory split votes. The Tories are evidently making a set at Byng, as the weakest man. MALSIESBURY. Air. Salter of Cannister Hall, a Tory, opposes Lord Andover. Newport; ISLE OF WIGHT. Mr. W. T. Hamilton and Mn'. Wyke- ham Martin are the Tory opponents of Mr. Hawkins and Mr. William Blake junior. Mr. William Ord retires on account of ill health. NOTTINGHANISHIRE. Mr. George Saville Foljambe will be the Liberal candidate for the Northern Division. NORTHUMBERLAND. MT. Beaumont retires from the Southern Division—intending to travel till the current of politics shall " run more clear." Where will the Whigs find his successor? NOTTINGHAM. Many of the Reformers are disgusted with the con- duct of Sir John Hobhouse, and hence the main hope of Twiss; but _ we suspect that Horace will not be in Parliament for Nottingham. NORFOLK. Mr. Gurney and Mr. Windham promise to fight a bard battle with the Tories in the Eastern Division of this county.

Noitwleo. Are the Tory candidates to walk the course ? No Libe- ral has yet come forward.

NEWCASTLE.UPON- TYNE. A correspondent assures us that there will be no change for the worse here ; and the Tyne Mercury says the

same. We shall see : a gentleman well acquainted with the counties of Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland, warned us of a probable loss at Newcastle.

Oxeceto. Air. Erle, the able Radical barrister, will try to unseat one of the Tory Members ; and, we are told, will probably succeed. At any rate, we should be glad to see Mr. Erie in Parliament.

OLDHANI. Mr. Joseph Jones and Mr. Lees oppose Air. Fielden and Mr. Johnson.

PRESTON. Mr. John Crawford is the favourite candidate of a large majority of the electors ; but his success nevertheless is far from certain. -There are three candidates,—Mr. Parker, a Tory, Mr. Fleetwood, a Trimmer, and Mr. Crawfurd, a Radical. 'f he constituency, it is sup- posed, is fairly divided as follows— Parker 900

Fleetwood 700 Craw Earth 1400

Of course Parker and Fleetwood, by coalescing, may defeat Craw- furd. In the peculiar circumstances of this borough, we should be glad to hear that two men of decided politics were elected ; and hope that the supporters of Parker and Crawford will unite to eject the Trimmer.

Pool.?.. Two Tories, Sir H. Willoughby and Mr. S. C. Walsh, have declared themselves.

PLYMOUTH. The contest here will be very close. Sir James Coekburn and Captain Blackwood oppose the present Members,Alessrs. Bewes and Collier. There is no excitement whatever on the subject of the election : the canvass proceeds in a very business-like, quiet manner.

PONTEFRACT. Lord Pollington withdraws as well as Mr. Gully Mr. Richard Miles is talked of as a new candidate.

RTE. Mr. Herbert Curteis having given up East Sussex, Major Curteis, his brother, is to make way for him at Rye ; but perchance the Tories will eject the Curteis family from Rye also: their absence from Parliament will not be felt, except by a Whig :Minister. RADNORSHIRE. The 'Whig Mr. Wilkins is again a candidate.

ROCHESTER. Mr. J. S. Douglas is the Tory candidate to succeed Mr. Hodges. SALISBURY. Owing to want of "pluck," on the part of the Re- formers, the Tories will succeed in reelecting their candidate. A cor- respondent reminds us, that some months ago we declared the reelec- tion of a Tory for Salisbury almost impossible; and he agrees with us in thinking that exertion only is wanted to return a Liberal col- league with Mr. Brodie, but the Reformers do not think it worth their while to exert themselves.

Our Salisbury correspondent asks, whether, in case a Trimmer offer himself, the honest Reformers should support him rather than give the Tories a chance by calling upon a man of decidedly Liberal opinions ? We say without hesitation, try to elect the independent and honest Reformer ; for there is little difference between a Trimmer and a Tory, es far as opposition to Liberal measures goes, and the avowed Tory is by far the honester fellow.

SHREWSBURY. Mr. Jenkins, a Tory, and Mr. Slaney, a Whig, are as yet the only eandidates.

SUNDERLAND. Mr. Andrew White, we are told, is a Reformer of the Durham school ; in favour of the Ballot, Suffrage-extension, and Triennial Parliaments. He is a large shipowner, and extensively en- gaged in trade; popular, and highly respectable. In two days, there were 600 signatures to his requisition' out of the whole 1,100 or h,00; and many promised their votes who did not give their names. It is calculated that Mr. White will poll 800 votes ; Mr. D. Barclay, 700; and Alderman Thompson the Tory, 600. We hope that the Sunder- land Reformers will not Thompson, disappointed : it would indeed be a gain to subst:tute such a man as Mr. White is described to be for Alderman Thinlipson. The Tories are said to be freely offering tickets for dril ; but, luckily, there are no corrupt freemen in Sunderland. UFFOLK. The farmers in this country are quite at a loss to know for whom they are to be driven up to vote at the next election. Their landlords and masters have not yet determined what orders they shall send to their serfs.

STOCKPORT. Major Marsland, the Tory, does not retire ; but we hope that be will be defeated by Mr. Cobden. SUSSEX. Mr. Herbert Curteis retires from the Eastern Division ; to be succeeded probably by a Tory. Sr. ALBAN'S. Mr. Grunston and the Liberal Mr. Muskett are the only candidates yet announced; but the custom of the place requires a " third man."

SHAFTESBURY. Mr. G. B. Matthew threatens Mr. Poulter with an opposition. TIVERTON. Lord Palmerston has made up his mind to stand for Tiverton ; so we suppose the Tories are safe in South Hampshire. TEWKESBURY. Mr. Law has canvassed Tewkesbury, but pretends that as Mr. Martin's party only ask for half the borough, he ought not to disturb its peace, and so retires. This flat work does not suit the Tewkesbury gentlemen, who know the value of a " third man," so a Mr. Joseph Peel, one of Sir Robert'a interminable connexion, has been induced to offer himself. The chalices are in favour of Martin and Dowdeswell being returned. Both are probably prepared to bribe high : it is said that at the last election 130/. was given for Mc vote by which the Tory return was carried. TOTNES. Mr. Parrott and Lord Seymour are safe. WALSALL. Mr. Francis Finch, of Great Bar, opposes the Tory Mr. Forster.

WELLS. Mr. Ridley Colborne has resigned. The candidates are Mr. W. Hayter, of the Chancery bar, and Mr. Lee, Whigs—Mr. Blackmore, a Tory.

WOODSTOCK. Lord Spencer Churchill will be reelected for his father's borough.

WEYMOUTH. Viscount Villiers, Mr. G. W. Hope, (son of the late Sir Alexander Hope,) Mr. Buxton, and Mr. Burdon, are the candi- dates ; the first two on the Tory and Johnstone interest, the others Whig.

WORCESTERSHIRE. In the Eastern Division of this county, Mr. Horace St. Paul and Mr. J. Barneby, now Member for Droitwich, will oppose Mr. Holland and Mr. J. H. Foley. Mr. Holland is a sound Liberal, but Mr. Foley is a milk-and- wider Whig—one of those Very accommodating gentlemen whose politics may perchance be a shade better than Conservative, but no earnest Reformer need care whether he gain his election or lose it. Mr. St. Paul has cash, and will probably succeed against one of the Liberal candidates ; we hope the defeated candidate will be Foley, but we fear that he will receive the Tory split votes, in case Barneby should be put hots de combat. There is reason to fear that both the Tories will succeed, from the apathy and disgust of influentiel Reformers. A correspondent assures us, that a gentleman of property, who rode hundreds of miles and worked day and night to secure the return of Whig candidates at the last election, refuses to vote for Foley, and will not exert himself fors! Holland ; and this, he assures us, is the feeling of a large proportion of the men who " moved heaven and earth for the Whi.,s " in 1831.

Wolicsseee. Last week we were led to suppose that there was a Food chance of ousting the Tory Member for Worcester but we are informed that Mr. Bailey's wealth and great liberality svin have much weight in Worcester, and that the contest will probably he between Robinson and Davies, Bailey being secure. Robinson ices lost his best friend in old Mr. Scott. His absence from the next. Perliament, however, will by no means be an insupportable loss at least be is of the Trimmer diss.

WARRINGTON. Mr. Edward Davies Davenport is talked of as a Liberal candidate.

WALLINGFORD. Who'll buy ? Mr. Blackstone, it is said, hue closed his purse. strings over a remnant of cash, and will not bid. Wallingford may now be bad for a few hundreds. It is said that Mr. Teed, of Stanmore Hall, a Whig, will bid.

WESTMORELAND. It is said that Loid Brougham nosins to set up his brother WiWcamo against the Lowthets ; but we searcsly credit the rumour.

WiurrEo.NvEst. Mr. Matthias A ttwood will be agii:11 deem] by Lord Lonsdale.

WOLVI.RDANiETON. Captain Ryder Barton, sod a Air. Th'Iii/OW, are to oppose Mr. 1 homely and Mr. Villiers : solely they have nut the least chance of success seainst these exesllent Aienthers.

YARMOUTH. Mr. II msliold, the old Whig Member, hopes to suc- ceed NIr. Pried. Mr. t S. Gambier will oppose him.

YORKSHIRE. Mr. W. Dunconthe has been prevailed upon to with- draw his resignation, and will stand for the North Riding. Mr. Lane Fox will probably oppose Mr. Cayley. Mr. John Stuart Wortley is a candidate for the West Riding, nude severe contest is expected.

IRELAND.

KILKENNY. Mr. O'Connell has addressed his constituents. He enlarges upon the importance of the present crisis, and on the necessity of supporting Ministers. He dwells with much satisfaction on the prospect of the new reign, and almost intimates that the Repeal of the Union may be dispensed with. Unusually calm and confident is the tone of the whilome agitator. He concludes his address by saying- " Your confidence will enable me to devote my time in forwarding the elec. Cons of others. For myself, I repose in your kindness. I have pledged myself not to seek the suffrage of any other constitueucy whilst I possess your confis dence. It is to ale a source of pride as well as of duty, respectfully to abide by that pledge." Calthow COUNTY. Mr. Vigors and Mr. Ashton Yates will be the Reform candidates. Colonel Bruen comes forward again. It is not known whether there will be a second Tory candidate. CARLOW Boeotian. Mr. Maule, an English barrister, who was re- tained in the last Carlow election inquiry, is the Ministerial candidate, in opposition to Mr. F. Buren. CARRICKFERGUS. Mr. Kirk will not be opposed.

Conic COUNTY. The Conservatives have met and declared, from an inspection of the registry, that the return of Mr. Longfield, their man, is quite secure. KINSALE. Counsellor James Dwyer will contest the representa- tion of Kinsale upon independent principles. LIMERICK CITY. Mr. William Roche had intended retiring on this occasion ; but, in deference to the wishes of his constituents, and from

• desire to keep out a Tory, he again consents to be put in nomina- tion. His colleague, Mr. 1). Roche, also comes forward again.

BELFAST. Lord Belfast and Mr. Robert Tennent, or perhaps Mr. Sharman Crawford, will oppose the Tory sitting Members, Mr. Dnnbar and Mr. Emerson Tennent.

TYRONE. Three candidates are in the field, Lord Claude Hamilton, the Hon. Mr. Corry, and Lord Alexander. The latter stands on mo- derate Conservative principles. COUNTY KILDARE. Mr. Barton, of Straffan, will stand for this county on Conservative principles. TRALEE. Mr. Maurice O'Connell will not walk over for this bo- roughs—a Conservative is in the field.

LONCONDERRY CITY. Mr. Dawson is a candidate. Sir R. Fer- guson may stand a eLMILeSI. COUNTV CLARE. Mr. Crofton M. Vandeleur offers himself for this county, as u Conservative. COUNTY LIMERICK. Mr. W. S. O'Brien has addressed the electors. KING'S C./LINTY. A son of the lute Colonel Bernard will contest this county on Conservative principles.

ATHLONE. Captain Mathew will not contest this borough. A eon of Mr. Baton, of Straffan, has canvassed the electors. Mr. John O'Connell will be the Member.

ARMAGH CITY. Mr. Dobbin, the present Liberal Representative, retires. The Liberals talk of Mr. Curry, Queen's County; mean. time, Captain Kidd is coming forward on the Conservative interest.

LOUTII COUNTY. Sir Patrick Bellew declines standing again for the county. Mr. Henry Chester is the Liberal candidate. WATERFORD. It is reported that Mr. J. Power will leave Dun.

garvon to stand for this county. Sir R. Keane, it is said, will also be a candidate. The Honourable P. Plunket, son of the Lord Chan- cellor, is spoken of to supply Mr. Power's room at Dungarvon.

[ A gentleman who promised to revise our Irish election intelligence, and who possesses the best local information, has by some accident disappointed IIS.1

SCOTLAND.

ABERDEEN. Mr. Horatio Ross is talked of as an opponent of Mr. Bannerman ; with small chance of success, we imagine.

BANFFSHIRE. Mr. Duff, son of General Sir Alexander Duff, and nephew of Lord Fife, is " the right man," and.will succeed the Tory Captain Ferguson.

Cuma Buttaus. Mr. Edward Ellice redeems his pledge to the electors and Andrew Johnston must go to the wall. Mr. Maitland Makgilt, of Church-extension notoriety, is canvassing the Burghs with the aid of a whole posse comitatax of Tory attornies; but assuredly he has no chance, and Mr. Ellice is fortunate in having such a compe- titor. Mr. Ellice himself, however, is said to have been partially acted upon by Government influence, with the view of inducing him not to oppose honest Andrew, Mr. F'owell Buxton's son-in-law. The plot would Riot Inure succeeded in any event, as the Reformers were resolved not to have Andrew Johnston palmed upon theirs ; and had prepared a requisition to Mr. Benjamin Hall, in case Ellice bed

preferred Huddersfield. As it is, Whigs and Radicals will slip. port Ellice, and he will almost certainly be returned.

DUNFERMLINE. It is not probable that Lord Dalmeny will be disturbed.

DUNDEE. An anti. Parnell party have got up a requisition to Mr. John Gladstone, of Liverpool ; but, according to our latest informa- tion, it had not been sent ; and unless the party are prepared to bear Mr. Gladstone harmless of expense in a contest sure to be fruitless on their part, they may as well spat e themselves the trouble of forwarding the requisition. Mr. Gladstone lies gained his fortune by lewd labour, and knows how to take case of it as well us the keenest scrub in the sMurritygate, Wellgate, ot Cosvgate. A requisition has been sent to Sir Henry Parnell ; mid of his re- turn we entertain little doubt, provided he give some distinct pledge to the constit(ent.), that he will efficiently repre..ent them on certain (Iue-Cons. At his liNt election, there Was NI:Pan:1111y ii Very full and complete understnieling l.re cm Sir livery Parnell mei the Dmidse Heft:niers ; but it his happened, (it is not liecessary now to inquire /10W, but it has huppened,) that on sevei el important occasions Sir Henry has not fulfilled the pledges on %%Midi he WaS first elts.tt d. To take taie instance, he has not voted for the Ballot since he became a Minister of the Crown. The consequences of his dereliction of duty on that occasion were most injurious. His position was such that he might have compelled Ministers to throw open the question. Had he given his vote matifully in accordance with the known expectation of his constituents, it is not credible' in the position of Ministers at the time, that Lord Melbourne would have made this honourable perform- ance of his higher duty as a Representative of the People the ground of dismissal as a member of the Government. The Premier would not have dared to enforce an unanimous opposition on the part of the members of his Government to the Ballot, had one of them, equal in reputation to Sir Henry Purnell, exercised his right of representing his constituents. But Sir Henry swerved from his duty, and left Dundee unrepresented. Now, perhaps, the Dundee Reformers have changed their opinion of the Ballot : perhaps the experience they have acquired, and the evi- dence they have procured, respecting the working of the present elec- toral system, since Sir Henry Partiell's first return, have convinced them that the dread of bribery and intimidation was groundless—that the voters are not obnoxious to corrupt influences—that men of wealth and power disdain to abuse their means of seduction and compulsion— that open voting is no obstacle to freedom of choice, and that therefore it is needless and impolitic to demand the protection of the secret suf. frage. In that case, of course, it would be very absurd to require a Bidlot-pledge from Sir Henry Parnell or any other candidate ; on the contrary, they should release him in plain terms. But if the opinions of the electors of Dundee are unchanged on this question, and if they really believe that their important town should be faithfully repre- sented by its Member in the House of Commons, then, with reference to the past conduct of Sir Henry Parnell, they would do well to exact from him a distinct promise, that when the question is again brought forward, he will under any and all circumstances record his vote—the vote of Dundee—in favour of it. To this Sir Henry should be as rigidly nailed down as if he were an untried man. If he give this pledge, his election is secure against all opponents. EAST LOTHIAN. There is a ray of light from this quarter. Mr. Ferguson has yet a chalice of remaining. FORFARSHIRE. Lord Douglas Gordon Hallyburton is a candidate, as yet without a competitor, FIFESHIRE. Captain Erskine Wemrs announced his intention to retire ; but immediately requisitions were got up in almost every parish, culling upon him to stand again. The signers of the various requisitions outnumbered the voters who supported him at the last election ; and there is no doubt but that Captain Wemyss, to whom this testimony of esteem and confidence must be as gratifying as it is honourable, will change his resolution, and keep the county inde- pendent. The Honourable James Bruce, son of Lord Elgin, has been put forward as the Tory candidate ; but, if he do come to the poll, he will be defeated by a large majority, KILMARNOCK. The Saints have had Mr. Culquboun of Killemont among them, professing himself a Reformer, but not friendly to the

Ballot. A large meeting was assembled to listen to the oratory of Mr. Colquhoun. He abused Dr. Bowring with great virulence ; for for which abuse he was hooted. A motion to send a requisition to invite him to stand was set aside ; and a meeting was called by the Provost, at which it was unanimously resolved that the conduct of Dr. Bowring "warranted the constituency still to repose confidence in him, and to return him again to Parliament." KIRKALDY. Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd is talked of; Mr. Fergus re- tiring. Cumming Bruce is nibbling at the electors, but he will not book them. Roxanaullsiiiaz. The Morning Post says that Admiral Elliott has withdrawn, leaving the Honourable Mr. Scott, the 13uccleuch nominee, without an opponent. Srlitida:usular.. Colonel Abercromby, son of Lord Abercromby, opposes Mr. Forbes, with a fair chance of defeating him. WIGTONSHIRE. Mr. Alexander Murray, uf Broughton, is spoken of as a candidate against Sir Andrew Agnew. He is called a Liberal, but whatever his politics may be, we hope he will put the canting Baronet out of Parliament.
