ELECTION I TELLIGENCE. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. OXFORD, July 7. A Convocation will be holden on Thursday, the 13th inst., at 9 o'clock, for the purpose of electing two burgesses to represent the University in Parlia ment. It is understood that the proceedings will be in Latin, and that the polling will commence imme diately after the candidates have been nominated. The polling is expected to continue for five days, which is the full time allowed by law. It will con sequently terminate on Tuesday, the 18th inst. The Vice-Chancellor has received and published the following opinion from the Attorney-General : "I think the declaration required from the proxy who tenders the voting paper must be made aloud, and signed at the time of tendering the voting paper, and that it is not enough to sign alone, and that the signature cannot law fully be affixed at any other time." CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. In Congregation to-day (Friday), the Vice- Chancellor presiding, the writ of dissolution and warrant for election were both read. The Vice- Chancellor and the Proctors were the acting autho rities, and the following was formally read by Mr. Parkinson, of St. John's : " In pursuance of a writ received by me, Henry Wilkin son Cookson, D.D., Vice-Chancellor of the University, for electing two burgesses to serve in Parliament for the Uni versity of Cambridge, I do hereby give notice that I shall proceed to election accordingly on the 11th day of July next ensuing, at 10 o'clock, in the Senate-house there, when and where all persona concerned are to give their attendance. "And take notice that all persons who are guilty of bribery at the said election will, on conviction of such bribery, be liable to the penalties mentioned in that behalf in the Corrupt Practices Act s 1854. "H. W. CooKsoN, Vice-Chancellor." CITY OF LONDON. The Sheriffs of London, who are the returning officers, have fixed Monday next, at 12 o'clock, at Guildhall, for the nomination of candidates, and Tuesday for the polling, which as usual will com menceat 8 o'clock in the morning and close at 4. The writ was received on Thursday evening, and was yes terday morning proclaimed from the front of the Royal Exchange byMr. Beddome, the common crier, according to custom on such occasions. The Liberal party in the City speak with much confidence of being able to return all four of their candidates. Up to last evening the general result of the canvass on their side, which has been conducted with great vigour from the first, is represented to have been exceedingly satisfactory, and to promise a complete victory. The canvass has been princi pally directed by the leading agents and members of the Liberal Registration Association, who, having been similarly engaged at every election contest in the city during the last 20 years, are thoroughly acquainted with the constituency and know to what extent Liberal political views predominate among them, as they must necessarily do in a community so extensively engaged in trade and commerce, which owe everything to freedom. On this occasion they particularly counsel union among the great body of their supporters, and depreciate all plumping. From the first two of the Liberal candidates in particular were certain to be returned from their great popu larity, but to render the victory complete the Libe ral electors are urged to vote for all four of the can didates, and not for one, two, or three of them, to the exclusion of others. A writer in their interest, assuming that the members of the Jewish commu nity are likely to plump for Baron Rothschild, takes them to task for such an intention, and points out the disastrous effect it might have on the Liberal cause at the election, if carried into effect; but none of the Liberal committee believe in any such in tention. The Conservatives, on the other hand; confidently hope to return one, if not both, of their candidates. Certainly, as compared with the contest in which AldermanCubitt was defeated, the constituency haS been more systematically canvassed on this occasion in their interest,and all their arrangements are more businesslike. Last evening a meeting of the electors of Farring don Within and Without favourable to the return of Messrs. Lyall and Fowler was held in the Masonic hall, Fetter-lane ;Mr. Bothell in the chair. About 150 attended. Among those present were Mr. Preedy, Mr. Butterworth, Mr. 11. R. Price, Mr. G. G. Little, Mr. G. R. Harrison, Mr. H. R. Payne, Mr. J. 11. Fawcett, secretary, &c. Mr. Lyall was absent from in:lisposition. The chairman, in introducing Mr. Fowler, observed that as upwards of 5,000 Conser vatives had recorded their votes in favour of the late Mr. Cubitt, the Liberal Registration Association were not justified in dictating to the electors of the city of London who should represent them. Mr. Fowler, who was received with much cordiality, stated that he did not come forward on this occasion actuated by any personal motive. He had the highest opinion of the social position of Baron Rothschild and the two gentlemen who along with him had represented the city, and now again applied for re-election, but he thought the city should be emancipated from the thraldom of the Liberal Registration Association, which, not content with three members, wished to drag in Alderman Lawrence, at the heels of Roths child, Crawford, and Goschen. He was a strong supporter of the privileges of the city, which the pre sent Government had on various occasions attempted to subvert. his antagonists were ultra-Radicals— almost Democrats; whereas he and his colleague, Mr. Lyall, entertained moderate opinions. They were supported by the great merchant princes of the city of London, who thought they had a right to return at least one, if not two, of its members. After a speech from Mr. Fawcett, the secretary, a resolution, proposed by Mr. Preedy, and seconded by Mr. Price, in favour of Messrs. Lyall and Fowler, was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. To-day, at 1 o'clock, the candidates met their central and various district committees at the London Tavern, when Mr. Thomas Baring took the chair. MARYLEBONE. In this borough three Liberal candidates are press ing their claims upon the constituency, all appa rently bent on pushing the contest to extremes. At one time there seemed to be a prospect that this di vision in the Liberal ranks would encourage a Con servative to offer himself in earnest, but the requisi tion announced to be lying for signature at the offices of the Conservative Association apparently failed to attract any large proportion of the electors since no steps were publicly taken up to a late hour last night to give effect to its request. A tacit un derstanding exists that one of the old members, Mr. 11. Lewis, will be returned as a matter of course ; but his colleague, Lord Fermoy, doesnot stand quite so well with a section of the constituency. Justly, or unjustly, Marylebone enjoys the reputation not only of managing its local affairs with a high hand, but, like an over-affectionate partner, of being to those to whom its trust has been confided somewhat jea lous and exacting. Mr. Chambers enjoys the benefit of whatever dissatisfaction exists with Lord Fermoy's attendances in Parliament ; but, on the other hand, he suffers from his official connection with the cor poration of London, to which body the borough of Marylebone often finds itself placed in antagonism. Having come so recently before the electors, Mr. Chambers has to make the most of the short interval remaining before the election, and yesterday no less than three places in the borough were named at which he would have the honour of addressing the electors. To attend even one political meeting in the present state of the temperature is an undertaking akin to the novitiate in a Turkish bath, but candi dates for senatorial honours are, of course, prepared to forego their own ease, while those who contribute to make up the audiences must be filled with a sense of public duty even stronger, and are certainly free from the reproach so often made of electoral apathy. The following reports of meetings held yesterday convey a fair representation of the state of feelinr , in this borough : At 8 o'clock last evening Mr. IL Lewis addressed the electors at the Princess's Concert-rooms, Ox ford-street. hfr.P. Graham presided, and Mr. Poland, church warden, Mr. Nicholay, and many of the old Re formers of the borough were on the platform. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. li. LEWIS, on coming forward, was enthu siastically received. He went into the history of his Parliamentary conduct, and defied any one to point to a pledge he had not performed ; and, having done so, he thought he had a right to expect they would return him again to Parliament as their representa tive. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, he not only felt that he should be returned, but be return .!.1 triumphantly, as he was on the first occasion when he came for ward. (Cheers.) It would be affectation on his part to say that he could feel any doubt upon the sub ject. He had, as they were aware, ever since he had been in Parliament, been a stanch advocate of civil and religious liberty. He had voted for every mea sure of Reform that had been proposed, and he had never flinched from defending the principles of local self-government, the interests of the ratepayers of that borough, or the interests of the people at large. (Cheers.) If they sent him again to Parliament they might rely upon it that he would forsake none of the principles upon which he was first elected, but vote for every measure which would reduce the taxation of the country and sustain the rights of the people. (Cheers.) Mr. Churchwarden POLAND moved and Mr. NICHOLAY seconded a resolution approving Mr. H. Lewis's conduct in Parliament, and pledging the meeting to return him again to represent the borough. The resolution was carried unanimously ; and, three cheers having been given for Mr. H. Lewis, thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Chambers, the Common-Sergeant, addressed the electors at Lawson's-rooms, Gower-street ; Mr. D . Duncan presiding. Mr. CHAMBERS assured those present that on this occasion there would be a real contest for the repre sentation of Marylebone, so far as he was himself concerned; for he should continue a candidate until 4 o'clock on Tuesday next. He had been solicited by several constituencies to stand for Parliament, but he had hitherto refused, and in now coming forward he only yielded to great pressure put on him to be come a candidate. Mr. Chambers then entered upon a statement of his political principles. In reply to questions addressed to him, Mr. CHAMBERS said he had not altered his opinion that the grant to Maynooth should "..,e repealed, or that due provision should be made for the inspection of nunneries ; but, seeing the feeling of the House of Commons in the present day with regard to these questions, he was of opinion that no affirmative measure ought to be brought forward. Dr. COLLINS proposed a resolution pledging the meeting to support the candidature.of Mr. Cham bers. This was carried, with one dissentient. At 7 o'clock Mr. Chambers again addressed the electors at the Eyre Arms, St. John's-wood. Dr. W. Williams occupied the chair, and was supported on the platform by Dr. Collins, and Messrs. Shields, Buckenham, Lomax, Messenger, Colebrook, Pain, Tucker, Carr, Conquest, and Isaac Swift. Mr. CHAMBERS, having made a few introductory re marks, proceeded to explain his political views. He was, he said, in favour of free trade, and its exten sion to the utmost limits. There was one particular, at least, in which it had not been properly applied. That particular was labour, upon which a very un fair restriction was placed by the present law of set tlement. He would not pledge himself to a£6 or £lO franchise, for so many unredeemed promises had been made them of that sort that it would be absurd for him to do so, but he would pledge himself to support the widest measure of Reform any Government would introduce. (Cheers.) He was opposed to centralisation, and thought the greatest opposition ought to be offered to any progress in that direction. Of course, there were occasions when it would be necessary to centralise power for the purpose of carrying out such works as the Thames Embankment ; but in no other cases ought they to submit to a further centralisation of power. It had been urged against him that, belonging to the city of London, he would not be able to perform his duty by his constituents. lie denied that in toto. The interests of the city of London and the borough of Marylebone, both political and local, were identical. lle would instance the two most important matters of local interest—viz., local self-government and the price of gas,. and in both these matters the in- terests of all were the same ; but should any diffe- rence on local affairs arise between the city of London and Marylebone he would vote for his con stituents. (Cheers.) He was for full religious liberty free from the insult of toleration. (Cheers.) He was for peace, and that meant non-interven tion. They had recently two great temptations to interfere. He referred to the cases of Denmark and and the war in America, but he was sure they were all now thankful that England had remained neutral. (llear.) Peace meant a steadily increasing pro sperity, harmony among themselves, a proper return for the investment of capital, and education and clothing for the poor. (Cheers.) In answer to questions, he said he would vote for the total aboli tion of the Church-rates ; he would vote for the throwing open of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge to all classes and creeds without distinc tion ; he would support vote by ballot, but would not vote for the opening of the museums and the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Resolutions were then adopted pledging support to Mr. Chambers. Upon leaving the Eyre Arm; Mr. Chambers and his supporters proceeded to the King and Queen, Paddington, where a packed audience were in attendance. Mr. C. ELLIS, of the Paddington Vestry, took the chair, and expressed himself confident that the candidate before them would be their representative in Parliament. Similar resolutions were adopted to those passed at the former meeting. At 8 o'clock last evening Lord Fermoy met his constituents at the St. Pancras Vestry-hall, Mr. Lawford, churchwarden, in the chair. His lord- ship addressed the meeting at considerable length, and at times amid great interruption. lie said he was on all occasions willing to give an account of his conduct in Parliament, and though it was not pleasant to him to be put to a great expense in con testing the borough, he should go to the poll with little doubt as to the result. He expressed himself somewhat warmly in reference to a candidate com ing forward on so short a notice, and said he was sure no act of his could be pointed out disen titling him to a renewal of their confidence. Al] his votes had been given on the side of advanced Liberalism, and he had never been absent on any occasion when the local interests were concerned. In answer to questions with respect to the Per missive Bill and Mr. Sotnes's Publichouse Bill, Lord Fermoy said, amid loud applause, that he would not vote for either, as he considered such measures to be legislative tyranny. Other questions were asked, amid considerable uproar, with respect to measures advocated by Mr. Newdegate and Mr. Whalley, and his lordship expressed himself in favour of allowing Boman Catholic priests admit tance into workhouses, but thought the boards of guardians throughout the country ought to have the power of fixing the amount of payment which the priests should receive. A resolution was proposed and seconded pledging the meeting to support Lord Fermoy. An amend- meat negativing this was submitted on behalf of the teetotallers. The mover of the amendment, however, failed to obtain a hearing, and the original resolution was carried by acclamation. The pro ceedings closed with the usual complimentary vote. LA el l e l v ß e ELlT. The advent, at the hour, of a Conserva tive candidate in the person of the Chancery barrister, who contested Middlesex some few years since in the Conservative interest, has considerably added to the excitement already prevailing in the borough, and caused the commit tees of the other candidates to redouble their exer tions. During the whole of yesterday a long string of cabs, with the royal standard, the union jack, and other flags flying, paraded the principal thoroughfares, but in the absence of any placards it did not appear to which party they belonged. Last evening a meeting of the friends and sup— porters of Mr. Haig was held at the Winchester School-rooms, Kennington-green, Mr. Fowler, churchwarden of Lambeth, in the chair, who briefly introduced Mr. Haig as a supporter of "the Church, the Queen, and the people," Mr. Haig in coming THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JITLY 8, 186E1 forward was much cheered. After explaining the reasons which had induced him to accede to the in vitation he had received to contest the borough on the present occasion, he went on to say that if re turned to Parliament he should give a general but independent support to the principles of Lord Derby. He was a Conservative, but an independent one. He would strongly oppose any lowering of the fran chise, believing as he did that under the present system every working man who ought to possess the suffrage could obtain the privilege if he would only exercise a little self-denial and place himself in the proper position to obtain it. (Cheers.) At the same time, he had no fear of the poorest and humblest of his countrymen, but he was afraid of their vices. He should have no objection to see an extension of the franchise on the plans proposed by the Reform Bill of Lord Derby's Government, which the Whigs threw out for their own party purposes. While he was prepared to reform all proved abuses, he would oppose every measure that had a tendency to destroy the Church or impair the constitution. He had always been an advocate of free trade, and had been a subscriber to the funds of the Anti- Corn-law League. He did not, however, approve the French Treaty, the bad principles of which more than counterbalanced the good. (Cheers.) He be lieved there was a large mass of Conservative feeling among the electors of Lambeth, and he thought that his coming forward, though late, would bring that feeling out. (Loud cheers., After several questions had been put to the hon. candidate by Messrs. Archer; Brickhill, Hillier, and other electors, and replied to, Mr. WELLBORNE moved and Mr. BRISTOW se conded a resolution, declaring it to be expedient to bring out a Conservative candidate, and pledging the meeting to support Mr. Haig. The resolution was carried, with about a dozen dissentients, amid loud cheering. the result of which enables me to anticipate with confidence the safe return of Mr. North and my self." The nomination will take place on Tuesday, and the polling on Wednesday. was read to-day by the Town Clerk, in the pre sence of the Mayor and several members of the corporation, near the Obelisk, in the Market-place. The proceedings attracted but little attention, and few persons were present. Mr. Butler, the Mayor and Returning-officer, has fixed the nomina tion to take place on Tuesday afternoon next, in the Town-hall. At present there is no appearance of opposition to the re-election of Sir F. H. Goldsmid and Mr. Shaw Lefevre, and should any now arise it is not likely to be successful. FINSBURY. The long-promised Conservative candidate has come forward in the person of Mr. Ribton, the bar rister. Mr. Phillips, whose influence chiefly lies in St. Luke's, has expressed his determination .to go to the poll with the other candidates. BEWDLEY AND STOURPORT. There is no substantial opposition to the re-elec tion of Sir Thomas Winnington for these boroughs, and the nomination is fixed for Tuesday next. BIRMINGHAM. The nomination takes place on Wednesday. BRADFORD. The Mayor has fixed Tuesday, the 11th, for the nomination of the members for the borough. BRISTOL. The High Sheriff (Mr. C. Miles) has fixed the nomination for Tuesday next. The candidates for the seat vacated by the retirement of Mr. W. H. Gore Langton, Sir S. M. Peto (Liberal), and Mr. T. F. Fremantle (Conservative), continue to hold meetings in the various districts of the city and the friends of each profess confidence as to the result. Mr. H. Berkeley is incapacitated by indisposition from taking part in the proceedings, but his return may be considered certain. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The announcement that the Conservative mono poly of the three seats for this county would be con tested by Mr. M. T. Smith, the late Liberal member for WTycombe, appears to be ill-founded, that gen tleman having declined to come forward. The three former members, Messrs. Disraeli, Du Pre, and Harvey will therefore " walk over the course," even Dr. Lee, who stood pledged to come forward in case no Liberal offered himself, not having notified his intention to do so. The election for the county is fixed to take place on Thursday next. CIIELTENIIAIII. Party spirit runs high here, and the contest be tween Mr. Berkeley (Liberal) and Mr. Schreiber (Conservative) will be close. Tuesday is fixed for nomination and Wednesday for the poll. COVENTRY. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday. CUMBERLAND (EAST). The Hon Charles Howard, lir. P., and Mr. Mar shall, M.P., have issued their addresses to their con stituents offering themselves for re-election. As in the Western division, so in the Eastern there will be no contest. D LOITWIOII. Sir J. Pakington remains alone in the field here, and will no doubt be re-elected on Wednesday next, for which day the returning officer yesterday fixed the election. DUMFRIESSHIRE. Mr. Hope Johnstone has sent an answer to the requisition forwarded to him in compliance with the resolution passed at the meeting held at Annan last week, as reported in The Sun. He expresses himself gratified by the mark of confidence shown in asking him to offer himself as a candidate once more ; but his determination to retire from Parliamentary life was not formed without much anxious considera tion, and the grounds on which he did so warrant him, he thinks, in adhering to the course lie has adopted, irrespective of all considerations. ESSEX. The Liberals do not propose, it is stated, to start a second candidate in South Essex, in conjunction with Mr. R. B. Wingfield-Baker. In the other con stituencies of the county there is no change. The nomination for the southern division will take place at Chelmsford on Monday, July 17, and that for the norther division on Tuesday, July 18. The nomi nation for the boroughs—Colchester, Maldon, and Harwich —will take place on Wednesday, and the polls on Thursday. On Wednesday the South Essex candidates, Lord E. Cecil and Mr. P. Wat lington (representing Mr. Selwin), the Conserva tives, and Mr. Baker, the Liberal, addressed the electors at Romford. On the evening of the same day Mr. P. 0. Papillon and Mr. T. J. Miller, the Conservative candidates for Colchester, addressed their supporters at the Cups Hotel. EVESLIAIt. Tuesday next is fixed for the election for this borough. The two old members, Mr. Holland (Liberal) and Colonel Bourne (Conservative) will, it is expected, be left alone in the field. GREENWICH. Sir John Heron Maxwell, Commander RN., in the Conservative interest, and Sir Charles Bright, C.E., in that of the Liberals, yesterday addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting of their respective adherents, at their committee-rooms, Woolwich, and each was well received. The two seats in this borough appear to be largely coveted, there being no fewer than six candidates already in the field, and one other is spoken of as about to come forward by requisition. Bills were yesterday circulated stating that a seventh had come forward, who styles himself the people's candidate, Mr. J. Baxter Lang ley, the co-worker with Cobden in repealing the corn laws, also the combination laws and the taxa tion on knowledge. Ho addressed an open air assembly last night in Beresford-square, Woolwich. Mr. Alderman Salomons has again presented him self, and has met with many friends and a cordial reception from many of his former constituents ; but the general feeling appears to be in favour of Sir John Maxwell and Sir Charles Bright, the former of whom will no doubt be returned at the head of the poll. HASTINGS Party feeling is running high here, and large meetings of both Liberals and Conservatives were held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday even ings at the Music-hall, the Corn-exchange, and the St. Leonard's Assembly-rooms. A very close con test is anticipated between Mr. F. North, the senior member, and Mr. P. F. Robertson, formerly the Conservative member. The end is thus predicted in an address to the electors issued yesterday morn ing by the Hon. George Waldegrave-Leslie, the junior representative of the borough :—" I have made a thorough personal canvass of the borough, HERTFORD. The candidates for the representation of this borough concluded their canvass yesterday. It is now certain that there will be no opposition. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday next, July 11, at noon. HERTFORDSHIRE. The four candidates for the representation of this county have nearly concluded their canvass. The election of Mr. Cowper is considered certain, if the promises made to plump for him are kept. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday, July 18, at a quar ter before 11. The polling will take place on Fri day, July 21. HONITON BOROUGH. Mr. E. M. Richards, late mayor of Swansea, is a candidate for Honiton.. Two Liberals, therefore, contest this borough. KIDDERMINSTER. Here the fight will be hot between the old member, Col. White, a supporter of Government, and the new candidate, Mr. Grant, on the Conservative side. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday and the poll for Wednesday. KING'S LYNN. Sir Thos. Powell Buxton, the Liberal candidate, has been canvassing during the past two or three days with every prospect of success ; but unfortu nately, from a prior engagement to stand for West Norfolk, in the event of a second Conservative being started, he is compelled to again relinquish Lynn, as Sir Henry Stracey is in the field in the Conservative interest. This will be a great blow to the Liberal party, who have not had so good an oppbrtunity of gaining a seat in Lynn for years. Lord Stanley addresses the electors to-day. LEEDS, The nomination for this borough has been ap pointed by the mayor (Mr. J. D. Lucock), as the returning officer, for Wednesday next. The contest will be a very severe one. The Conservatives speak with confidence as to their candidate, Mr. G. S. Beecroft, being re-elected. At the same time, the Liberals are not less sanguine as to the result of the election being in favour of their candidates, Mr. E. Baines and Lord Amberley. LINCOLNSHIRE. There is no change to note in any of the Lincoln shire constituencies. In the two county divisions there will'be no contests, and the two sitting mem bers will be re-elected, but at Lincoln and Boston there will be some degree of excitement. LUDLOW. The nomination takes place on Tuesday, and the poll on Wednesday. MALTON. The Borough Bailiff of Malton has fixed the elec tion for the borough for 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning next. Mr. C. W. W. Fitzwilliam and Mr. J. Brown, the late members, will walk over. MANCHESTER. It appears by a letter from Mr. Sowler, Q.C., who proposed Admiral Denman as a candidate at a Con-. servative meeting, that the money is not forthcoming for a contest, and that the Admiral, after all, is not to be brought forward. It is probable the contest will be between Mr. Bailey, Mr. Jacob Bright, and Mr. Abel Heywood. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE The candidates in this town, the Right Hon. T. E. Headlam, Mr. S. Beaumont, and Mr. Alderman Cowen, all Liberals, are making a most active can vass. Mr. Cowen has been brought out as a com mercial representative, and to all present appearance the state of public opinion seems to favour the return of him and Mr. Headlam as the representative of the borough. NORFOLK (EAST). The sitting members, Col. Coke and Mr E. Howes, issued their addresses soliciting re-election yesterday. Col. Coke does not appear to be favourable to the repeal of the malt tax at present. He should also refuse to support any measure for an extension of the suffrage which did not meet with the general support of the great Liberal party of the country. Mr. Howes says in matters touching the Church ho shall support its establishment and connexion with the State as of vital importance to all classes. He is opposed to the malt tax, will not refuse to con sider any well-digested plan for extending the elec toral franchise, and is prepared to support economy with efficiency, peace with dignity, and the system of free trade with impartiality to all classes. An 4 , independent nomination" is threatened. The election will take place at the close of next week, unless a poll should be demanded. NORTH RIDING. Nr. F. A. Milbank, the Liberal candidate, has been spending the week in visiting the electors in the great centre of the Tory stronghold, where hitherto Lord Feversham's influence has been su preme. After addressing the electors at Pickering on Monday, Mr. Milbank and his supporters made the tour of the district in a carriage -and-four. Mr. Milbank visited Sinnington, Kirby Moorside, and Helmsley, and addressed the electors at each town, and was received with great enthusiasm. It would seem the Liberal opinions are penetrating into what has always been designated " the Yorkshire hotbed of 'Toryism." Mr. Milbank is elated with his re ception, and. is certain of success. NORTHUMBERLAND (NORTH). Lord Henry Percy, who has appeared as the second Conservative candidate for North Northum berland, in consequence of his brother, Earl Percy, having resigned, has begun to canvass the electors in the division. To all appearance, however, there will be no opposition to the election of Lord Henry Percy and Sir Matthew White Ridley in this divi sion. It had been rumoured that Sir John Swin burne would be brought out in the Liberal interest, but it is thought that it would be full late for him to enter the field. NOTTINGHAM. All the four candidates addressed the electors on Thursday evening. The authorities are taking active steps to prevent any riot or disturbance on the days of nomination and polling. In addition to the de tachment of the 83d Foot at the barracks, numerous bodies of special constables are being sworn in, and a troop 'of the 15th Hussars has been sent from Sheffield. Lady Clifton is actively canvassing for her husband, and the other candidates are making every exertion to secure their return. The contest will be exceedingly severe. The writ was received yesterday morning by post, and was read by Mr. Sheriff Place in various public places in the town. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday, and the poll will be taken on Wednesday. OXFORD. The Mayor (Mr. J. Hughes) has fixed Tuesday next for this election. No opposition is offered to the Colonial Secretary (the Right Hon. Edward Card well) or Mr. Charles Neate. The former gentleman is now on a visit to his constituency. OXFORD COUNTY. The High Sheriff, Ur. W. M. Foster Melliar, has fixed Monday, the 17th of July, for the election of county representatives. Although no one has yet ac tually been brought forward in opposition to the late members (the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, Col. North, and Col. Fane), it is very probable Col. North and Col. Fane will be opposed at the last minute, as the Liberals of the county appear very dissatisfied at the prospect of three Tory candidates walking over the course, when they have the best possible means of knowing, through the vast addition of Liberals to the register, that they would have an excellent chance of returning one, if not two members. PEMBROKESHIRE BOROUGHS. Mr. Jenkins and Sir Hugh Owen, Liberals, are de termined to contest the election of these boroughi. READING. The writ for the new election for this borough SALISBURY. The Mayor of this city (Mr.. R. H. Higdon) has fixed Wednesday for the nomination, and it is un derstood that the polling will take place on the fol lowing day. The result of the election is generally considered to be uncertain, although the supporters of the three candidates (Mr. John Chapman, Con servative, and Mr. K H. Marsh and Mr. Edward Hamilton, Liberals), are all equally sanguine of success. The town has been thoroughly canvassed, but as many of the electors decline to bind them selves no reliable decision can be got at. In one part of the borough (Fisherton), however, where a great deal of new building has been going on for some few years past, and a large number of voters consequently added to the list, Mr. Chapman is decidedly the favourite, and his friends therefore ex press themselves as confident of his election. SANDWICH. A deputation left Sandwich this morning with a requisition signed by a majority of the electors re questing Rear-Admiral Sir Sidney C. Dacres, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet, to become a candidate in conjunction with Mr. Capper. Should Admiral Dacres decline, Mr. A. C. Bruce, of 43, Queen's-gardens, barrister-at-law, a nephew of the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and of the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, Vice-President of the Council, will be brought forward by the Liberal Conservatives and ultra-Protestants, in conjunction with Mr. Capper. SHEFFIELD. The rumour in the town yesterday morning was that the Conservative-Liberal party were going to bring out the Hon. James Francis Stuart Worcley, private secretary to Mr. Gladstone, and brother of Lord Wharncliffe, and in that case Mr. Hadfield's seat will be considerably endangered. The opposi tion to Mr: Roebuck goes on, and there have been two of the largest and most disorderly meetings ever held in Sheffield—one in Paradise-square, to hear Mr. Foster, and the other in the Temperance hall, to hear Messrs. Roebuck and Hadfield. At the former meeting, Mr. Foster taunted the friends of Mr. Roebuck with his absence ; but he was an swered by the appearance of that gentleman in a carriage with Mr. Hadfield. Mr. Foster accused Mr. Roebuck of corruption in regard to the Galway contract, he openly imputedthat he had been bribed to support the bill of the Water Company. Mr. Foster made a very effective speech; but he spoke so long, and the crowd (there were 20,000 present) got so excited, that Mr. Roebuck could not obtain a hearing, and there are conflicting statements as to the division, one party claiming the victory for Mr. Foster and the others for Mr. Roebuck. When the confusion caused in the immense crowd had abated, Mr. Foster proceeded with his address. He said— Mr. Roebuck chooses to state to you that I have the meanness, the sneaking sort of conduct, to come before you for the simple object of getting a job at sessions. (" Shame," and hisses.) I tell Mr. Roe buck to his face—as I told you just now, when as far as I could find that he had not chosen to come —that he belonged to those Sessions the same as I did. He went the West Riding Sessions as I have done for 20 years. (" Come to the question.") If Mr. Roebuck says that I can do these things for the purpose of getting a job at Sessions, I tell Mr. Roe buck—he sits there—he never found the man at the West Riding Sessions who wanted him to do his job. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. Roebuck went to the Northern Circuit. He wears a silk gown. (The Chairman—Who gave it to him ?) Now, in thegreat Northern Circuit I have found in many towns clients who have trusted me ; but during the whole course of my experience never on one occasion did I see Mr. Roebuck in any case whatever. (Laughter.) He got his silk gown, but was that reward given to him because of his merits on the circuit ? No ;it was given to him because you gave to him that position without which he was nothing, and which got his silk gown. (Cheers.) He accuses me of being capable of descending to jobs. Was I the first to cast the stone ? When I spoke last night I did not utter one syllable offen sive to either of the members.; on the contrary, I expressed the hope that this contest would be con ducted as gentlemen ought to conduct it and with out personal allusions. (Cheers.) But when I found that the style of language which has dis tinguished him ever since he was a public man, and which is simply personality,—for except to be per sonally offensive he can be nothing. (Cheers and prolonged disorder.) If he chooses to attack me, I say to him, let him come on. He talks about jobs, does he ? Has he never been guilty of a job ? (Cheers and interruption.) We will see presently. For what object did you send Mr. Roebuck to Par liament on the last occasion ? (" We'll send him again.") Let us see what he did, to show you the purity of his motives, as soon as he was returned. I don't venture into this ; he has chosen to drag me into this sort of thing. I don't shrink from it. (" What made thee come,?") You returned him as a Liberal, and you believed him to be one. The Derby Government was then in office, and Mr. Disraeli proposed a Reform Bill, which contained a great many fancy franchises. The Liberal party rejected that bill, and Mr. Roebuck said in the house that the Liberal party did not want the bill ; that it was a deceptive measure, and pretended to give the poor men something, while in reality it gave them naught. (" No, no.") He told Parlia ment, and he told them justly, "This measure which you propose is a sham ; it is intended to de ceive ; its object is to do away with the 40s. free holders ; it will take away the benefits which the Reform Bill gave you in 1832." A majority was Obtained against the measure, and in the list of that majority you will find the name of Mr. Roe buck. The Derby Government appealed to the coun try, and Mr. Roebuck came down here to solicit your suffrages again. He repeated before you the decla ration as to the bill which he had made in the house, and you sent him to Parliament to vote against the bill. You sent him to do more—to try to oust Lord Derby from office on the first oppor tunity. What did he do? I find in the Indepen dent of April 9, 1859, Mr. Roebuck boasting that he was one of the majority which had driven Lord Derby to appeal to the country. When the bill was before the house Mr. Roebuck said it was a sham and a retrograde measure. He was returned, and in his speech of thanks—as I hope to be able to thank you before long—(cheers) —he said he should go to Par liament to oppose Lord Derby's Government. When the new Parliament met the Marquis of Hartington gave notice of an amendment upon the Address. Mr. Hadfield was true to his colours—(hear, hear)—and he supported Lord Hartington's motion of no confi dence in the Derby Government ; but only a month i after Mr. Roebuck had given you his pledge a num ber of respectable old Tories found, greatly to their astonishment, I have no doubt, that he was in the lobby with them. (Cheers.) When he was asked why he supported the Government which he was pledged to oppose, he said he opposed the amendment in the be lief that if he had supported it he shouldlhave been an accessory to the defeat of the Ministry, and he would not assist in bringing in a Government that had lost his confidence. (Applause, and cries of " Per fectly right.") He voted for keeping in Lord Derby's Government, and people naturally began to cast about for the reason. Now, you know men belong to clubs in London, and they talk a great deal about each other's affairs, and it was not long before they found Mr. Roebuck out. He became a director of the Gal way Steam Packet Company. (Laughter.) That did not come out just then ; it took some time to ascertain the real fact. But what happened? I hope I am not misrepresenting Mr. Roebuck, because at a meeting held here a month ago, and about which he has taken to himself no small laudation, he was asked point blank the question which I will read. He was asked whether the Galway contract was not signed or agreed upon the night before that vote was given upon the Reform Bill. Did Mr. Roebuck indignantly repudiate the imputation ? Not a bit of it ; he was silent. (Hear, hear.) I take it there fore that his silence was an admission that the con tract was signed on the night before that vote was given. What did that vote do ? The Galway Com pany asked for aid out of the public purse to enable them to do that which other companies do out of their profits. Mr. Roebuck was a director of that company, and if it succeeded he was entitled to cer tain dividends on shares which would put money into his pocket. (Hear, hear.) The subsidy was £17,000 a year, and it enabled the company to com pete with others which carried the mails at their own cost, and thereby it interfered with that freedom of trade under which other companies have worked. %Vas that subsidy a direct advantage to Mr. Roebuck as a director? (" No, no.") If the company had succeeded, if it had not been a rotten thing from the first, it would have put money in his pocket. That contract was signed on the night before the great division which decided the fate of the Derby Minis try. (" You've said that 20 times.") Mr. Roebuck voted for that Ministry when they had given him a share of £17,000 a year. (Applause and hisses.) He says he never got a farthing, and I believe it ; but it was no fault of his. (Loud cheers.) He did not succeed, because he allied himself to a rotten, protection-wanting company. He thought he was all right, but he found himself all wrong. Am I right ? (Hear, hear.) I don't flinch from saying to Mr. Roebuck, when he imputes to me that my only object is to win business, that I scorn the im putation. (Cheers, and a voice, " Speak summat like truth."—Laughter.) He talks about jobs; let him look at home. Mr. Foster then referred very fully to the part taken in the Bill passed to regulate the affairs of the Sheffield Water Company, after the inundation caused by the bursting of the reser voir. He asserted that Mr. Roebuck had increased the water rates of the city 25 per cent, for the next 25 years. At this point of his address the cries for " Roebuck" increased in vehemence, until it became impossible to hear what Mr. Foster was saying, and the chairman interposed, and stated that when Mr. Foster had finished he should be glad to hear Mr. Roebuck or Mr. Hadfield. Mr. Foster then resumed amid increasing disorder. He spoke of the import: ance of the trades' unions in this town, and referred to the state of the law affecting the relations between master and servant, and declared that he would do his best to abolish the power which the master- alone possessed of proeeeding critreinally against his ser vant, and put both parties to their civil remedy in the County Court. He taunted Mr. Roebuck for never having taken any steps to remove that anomaly in the law, although he was a great advo cate of the rights of the poor man. Mr. Foster then said that one of the local journals had asserted that he came there simply as the tool of the Permissive Bill men. He was told that there was in Sheffield a section of people who were called Teetotalers. He was not a Teetotaler ; on the contrary, like Mr. Roebuck, he could not do without his wine. (Laughter.) But the Teetotalers were sincere in their belief that their plan would avert many mischiefs. They had seen respectable work men in the town wasting their money and their energies in tippling in dram-shops and publichouses. They thought that teetotalism was the way to remedy that mischief. He did not agree with them. (Hear, hear.) But when he saw a body of men who held that belief he respected them ; he was always glad to hear what they had got to say ; and he never was capable of, or guilty of, the dirty proceeding of say ing, " I spit on your bill." (Cheers and laughter.) He did not think that to use intemperate language was the way to succeed. If he found a gentleman using intemperate language upon one occasion, he was apt to look and see in what company he found him. If he found that a man who spoke of matters of domestic policy in such terms as he had men tioned ventured, at a time of absolute disunion, a time of war, when men ought to weigh carefully their language, and even refrain from expressing their honest opinion if it was offensive, in order that peace might be kept—if he found that man using language which was calculated to provoke a sensi tive nation, he said that that man was not fit to re present either their domestic or their foreign in- terests. (Cheers and hooting.) Amid increasing disorder Mr. Foster went on to allude to the speeches of Mr. Roebuck in reference to the Em peror of the French, and concluded by saying, " if they approved his views, they would not think it an impertinent interference on his part if he asked them to give him their support." Mr. ROEBUCK rose to address the meeting from the carriage in which he had been sitting, and was received with cheers. A cry was raised of " The steps." Mr. Roebuck said to those about him, " I cannot get there ; they must hear me here." Un fortunately, Mr. Roebuck could not be seen from many parts of the square, and as noon as it became known that he was on his feet to speak there was a great crush from the centre of the square towards his carriage. He stood for some time motioning the crowd to be quiet, but they swayed fiercely to and fro. Though there was not a persistent attempt to shout Mr. Roebuck down, there was so much tumult that it was quite impossible to hear him, and after a short time he resumed his seat until order should be rostored. The crowd shortly afterwards became more quiet, and Mr. Roebuck again rose to speak. He said :—I want you to hear what I have got to say. Give me fair play ; that is all I ask. You have heard the accusations against me; hear my reply. I know that in this assembly there are ten to one in my favour, but the one can make a noise, and the ten cannot keep him quiet. These ew sentences were uttered amid great confusion ['from the swaying about of the crowd in . their at tempts to get within sight of the hon. gentleman, and the " manifestations" of a few noisy opponents, and after waiting for some time Mr. Roebuck gave up as hopeless the attempt to get a hearing. After the uproar had somewhat abated, Mr. HADFIELD rose to address the meeting, and he also was received with cheers. He said—Gentle men, give me a hearing. A few weeks ago a vote was taken of a meeting in this square—. The con clusion of the sentence was inaudible even to those around Mr. Hadfield from the uproar in the meet ing, caused by the swaying of the crowd and the discordant cries of opponents, and after waiting for some time Mr. Hadfield also was compelled to give up the attempt to address the meeting. A resolution declaring . Mr. Foster a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Sheffield was then moved, with an amendment, proposed by the party of Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield, thank . _ _ ing Mr. Foster for his attendance and his offer to be come a candidate, but pledging the electors to sup port their old members. The confusion was so great that it could not be decided which proposition was carried. Both sides claimed the majority, and the proceedings terminated. Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield afterwards briefly addressed their friends from the windows of the George Hotel. Mr. ROEBUCK said.—Gentlemen, will you now allow me to say one word to you? Although they would not hear us we heard them. Now, I have only to say to you that I am exceedingly obliged for the kind manner in which you have expressed your opi- none concerning me. I have served you faithfully for 16 years. (Hear, hear.) I have received no earthly benefit from that representation. I have not received one farthing benefit by representing you. (Hear, hear.) And I have my character before the world. That is not to be destroyed by any foul- mouthed lawyer in this town. (Cheers.) A certain mail without a shadow of truth has stated that which when stating he knew to be a falsehood, and I say it is a shame to him, but not disgraceful to me. (Cheers.) I have nothing to explain --nothing to retract. (Hear, hear.) I have acted fairly and honestly on your behalf. (Hear, hear.) If you re elect me I will do the same--the same as I have hitherto done. There will be no change in my con duct—(hear, hear)—none in my opinions. I have advocated faithfully Liberal ideas, and to them I mean to adhere as long as my memory and mind remain to me. (Prolonged cheering.) Well, then, gentlemen, I bid you farewell. We shall know how to answer them at the poll—(cheers)—and the man whose mind is gone mad upon water. (A voice— " Stop that.") (Laughter.) (" It is only a teetotal- ler.") At this moment a carriage attempted to pass through the crowd, and the hon. member directed to have it stopped. He continued--That is a piece of the impertinence they have shown to us throughout. They have no understanding what the majesty of the people means. (Cheers.) We will teach them.. They will then find that the man who has gone mad. upon water is not to dictate to this town of Sheffield, and that the bellows mender is not going to blow us to the wind. (Cheers and laughter.) Let me also re mark that it will be of advantage that all friends of Mr. Hadfield and myself should attend the ward meetings. (Hear, hear.) Depend upon it, our ene mies will be as active as they are malicious. (Laughter and cheers.) All that we can oppose to them is an honest and bold determination, and that I ask you to do by attending the ward meetings, and in every ward determine to vote according to your consciences. (Prolonged cheering.) ST. IVES (CORNWALL. In the event of the anticipated retirement of Mr. Vivian, the Liberal candidate, Mr. Donald Nicoll, formerly M.P. for Frome, and chairman of the St. Neots Railway Junction Company, will contest the representation with Mr. Paul, the Conservative member. SUFFOLK (EAST). Col. S. Adair, who on four occasions has contested this. division of the county in the Liberal interest, but who is now a candidate for the representation of Canterbury, yesterday issued a kind of farewell ad dress to the electors of East Suffolk. TAUNTON. Mr. A. Austin, of Hertford, has come forward for this borough. Since the retirement of Mr. Mills the return of Lord W. Hay is considered almost certain. TEWKESBURY. The contest here will be a sharp one between the old member, Mr. J. Martin, Liberal, and the second Conservative candidate, Mr. Dowdeswell. Mr. Yorke, the other old member (Conservative), is be lieved to be safe. The nomination takes place on Tuesday, and the poll on Wednesday next. TYNEMOUTH. Mr. G. 0. Trevelyan, the Liberal candidate for this borough, is making a successful canvass. Mr. R. Hodgson, the Conservative candidate, has been laid by ill for a fortnight . ; but that gentleman issued an address on Thursday, recapitulating his political opinions, and he would meet his committee yesterday. WESTMORELAND. Col. Lowther, M.P., and Lord Bective, M.P., the Conservative members for Westmoreland, have issued their addresses. Both gentlemen come for ward as candidites for the representation of the county, and it is understood there will be no oppo sition to their return. WILTSHIRE (SOUTH). The High Sheriff of Wiltshire (Mr. T. H. A. Poynder) has appointed Friday next for the election, at Salisbury, of two knights of the shire for this division of the county. Lieut.-Colonel Bathurst, who, in conjunction with Lord H. Thynne, the other Conservative candidate, offers himself for re-election, in a circular just issued to his constituents, says, " I am rejoiced to say that my success has exceeded my most sanguine expectations." It is generally believed that Lord H. Thynne will be at the head of the poll, and from the great exertions which are being made on behalf of Mr. T. Fraser Grove, the Liberal candidate, that rather a severe struggle will take place between him and Colonel Bathurst. WINDSOR. Yesterday Mr. W. R. Harris, the Mayor, an nounced that the nomination of the candidatesfor the representation of this borough would take place next Tuesday. The polling will be on the follow ing day. A meeting of the supporters of Mr. Van sittart and Colonel Vyse was to take place at eight o'clock last night at the White Hart Hotel, High street. Now that the day of election has been. fixed the contest is becoming very exciting. WORCESTER. One of the four candidates (Mr. Laslett) has re tired from the field, so that the contest now lies between Mr. Padmore (the old member) and Mr. Sherriff, on the Liberal side, and Mr. Levick on the Conservative. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday next, and the polling for Wednesday. WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST). The Sheriff has appointed Friday next for the election for the eastern division. The Hon. F. Calthorpe and Mr. H. Vernon, Liberals, will be re elected - without opposition—according to present appearances. WORCESTERSHIRE (WEST). Thursday next has been fixed for the nomination for the eastern division. There will be no poll, as the two old Conservative members, Mr. F. W. Knight and the Hon. F. Lygon, are.unopposed. YORKSHIRE (WEST)—NORTHERN DIVISION. The Conservatives have finally resolved not to offer any opposition to Sir F. Crossley and Lord F. Cavendish. Those two Liberals will therefore, it may safely be predicted, be elected next Saturday, the 15th inst., that day having been fixed for the election of the High Sheriff of the county. The place of election for the norther division, as settled by Act of Parliament, is Leeds. YORKSHIRE (WEST)—SOUTHERN DIVISION. The High Sheriff of the county has fixed the elec tion of two knights of the shire for this division of the West Riding, to take place at Wakefield on Wednesday, the 19th inst. As there will be a smart contest, the poll will probably take place on the fol lowing day, or at all events on Friday, the 21st. The two Conservative candidates, Mr. C. Denison and Mr. Stanhope, have addressed meetings of the electors at Thorne, Snaith, Sherburn, and the Libe ral candidates, Lord Milton and Mr. Beaumont, have done so at several other places which they have visited. WEST RIDING (SOUTHERN DIVISION). There are now four candidates in the field, Lord Milton and Mr. H. F. Beaumont on the Liberal side, and Mr. C. B. Denison and Mr. W. S. Stanhope on that of the Tories. Both are eagerly canvassing, and there is no doubt that it will be a close contest. Lord Milton has addressed several meetings in the Rid ing. He declared himself to be in favour of the total abo lition of church rAtes, entire freedom of trade, an extension of the franchise, &c. Mr. Beaumont takes the same line. Votes of confidence in the candidates have been passed at Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, and other places. Births. BLossE.—On the 4th inst., at Athavallie, co.
