because of the great objects which it proposed to Attain, more especially as its adoption would pro duce a seeingto the public of not less than 24,000/. 3 year. Whatever might be the objections of Noble 'and Learned - Lords to the details of the measure, he felt assured he should have no opponent us to the principle Of the Bill. In the Committee these minute details might be satisfactorily - discussed anti settled, arid he pledged himself he should then give to the uggestions of each Noble Lord all the weight and deliberate attention 'to which they might be found entitled. His. Lordship concluded by moving that the Bill shouldbe - read a second time. The Earl of ELDON said that, in the examina tion of the 3 ill before them, he should totally divest himself of any party feeling, and confine himself to the merits of the proposed measure. He had cer- F ..ainly been properly described as the active and zealous friend of the principle of introducing the trial by Jury into Scotland ; but, if he was so, he Was only a frieed to the introduction of a Jury into the Court of Session under circumstances which wouldnot fail to obtuie for it a favourable reception from the lieges of Scotland.--(Hear.) A Bill to effect the introduction of a Jury into the Culla of Session had been brought forward by a Nobleman of high talents in 1806 (Lord Grenville), which he opposed, and that was filially lost. Indeed, for his part, he was, and still continued, disinclined to u nit iog a Jury to the Court of Session as far from desirable, from this circumstance, that the evidence was documentary, and often so obnoxious, that the Joie', having seen it in print, would be constantly . found deciding cases, not from what they bad heard glom the Beech, but from some other sources. He . however wished it to be understood now that he • :vas not so much opposed to the principle of the Bill as he was opposed to its being introduced at so late a period; indeed, almost the last night of the Session. If the people of Scotland wished fie Trial by Jury, he was far from saying that they . ought not to possess it; on the contrary, he would admit that they ought to possess it ; but then their Lordships should take care to secure it to them in the best mode, and after due deliberation. One of his objections to the present Bill was, that it pro pounced the Judges of the Court of Session in Scotland unfit for their offices—an opinion which he knew to be unfounded in fact. With respect to the Judges of the Consistorial Court in Scotland, he was authorised mid requested by a Noble relative i of his, who bed long filled the same office in this country, to state that he WUP indebted for the most important assistance to the talents and the know ledge of the Scotch Judges in many of the causes upon which he had to deckle. These were Ids opi. mons. The delay which he asked for was, as he conceived, necessary to that full consideration which the subject required. But, if the House should ; differ from him, he must submit; and, if his opi nions should turn out to be wrong, no man would be more willing to acknowledge his error. The Earl of ROSSLYN felt strongly the (baud . vantage of speaking idler so high an authority as the Noble and Learned Lord on such a subject ; but it was impossible that Government could consent to delay the measure under the remelt circumstances. All branches of the profession in Scotland, from the Judges down were favourable to the principle of uniting Trial by Jury with the other privileges of the Court of Session. In 1813 the principle of Trial by Jury was partially adopted, in 1819 it was tetended farther, and in 1825 a Committee was appointed, which, after much inquiry, recommended that the Legislature should go further still. The Commission, which was appointed at the sugges tiou of his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Eldon,) were unanimously of opinion that, within five years, the Trial by Jury might be introduced with safety into the Court of Session in Scotland. The change 1,411 not been now introduced for the first time, but had been ender • diseueeion fur the last roue years, anti the opinions of the legal bodies and of the Commissioners were in favour of it. The Bib wee brought forward in February, then Owed :mil circulated in Scotland, where it was received with general upprobation. The Noble Lord concluded by saying that there was no object be had so much at heart us the establishment of Trial by Jury in Scotland. The Earl of ELDON explained. Lord W YNFORD addressed the House sitting, but he spoke in so low a tone of voice that his ob servations were but very imperfectly heard at the bar. klis Lordship was understood to say that he opposed the Bill, not from any want of confidence in the integrity, learning, and ability of the Scotch bar, but because he thought a change of such im portance ought not to be made but after the most mature deliberation. The Noble and Learned Lord who bud advocated the measure with his usual abi lity, bad brought forward a great many arguments to show that a change was necessary; but these ar gutnents, in his opinion, formed the strongest ground for postponing the further consideration of the measure till next Session. The topics which were contained in the Bill were so numerous, and of so important a nature, that it was highly expe dient not to decide on it prematurely. The Bill went to extend Trial by Jury in Seotland,but:even in this respect, it was extremely imperfect. ft up plied to charter-parties, to bills of lading, and to a number of minor details in commercial policy.; but it did not apply to hills of exchange and to several other points which formed the most important sub jects fur the decision of rx Jury. It was necessary 'to give only one instance—the else of bankruptcy, far which no provision was made. This Bill, too, would do away with a number of the inferior Courts, end, among the rest, the Consistory Court—u Court which deserved the highest praise for the discrimination and judgment which marked its pro eueslings, He, therefore, winds, be - no party to lower that Court by piecing the judges in the situa tion of officers of the Court of Session. The Noble Lord then adverted to the Sheriff's Court, and con tended that if Trial by jury were extended to the higher Courts, it ought also to be adapted in the inferior. A Bill hid been introduced which would establish County Courts throughout Estgland; and, as there seemed to be a general wish to asslmilate the judica, tore of the two countries, be could not see on what principle the Sheriff's Courts, and the other inferior Courts, were to be passed over in this Bill, while new Courts of the same desatiption, but with the privilege of Trial by Jury, were about to be este, Wished throughout England. These were some of the grounds of his opposition to the measure; and het was the more confirmed In his opinion on the subject becalm no documents had yet been laid be , . fore their Lordships on which to found the altera. den, Till documents to that effect were produced, he shold certainly withhold his assent to the mea sure. I-fe was obliged, with great humility, to differ front his Noble and Learned Friend on the Wool sack, and from others of his Noble Friends, on thi question ; because be thought it one upon which their Lordships could not safely some to a busty conclusion, was in a state of douht, and was desirous of being in possession of facts before he gave his assent to a measure of Co much importance. I. Ott that account, and not with it view to dispose finally alba Bill, he Should move that it be read that day six months; intending to follow up a mo tion, which b e p ro p ose d to make tomorrow, with a proposition, it, the course of the next Session—if lie ua►ouief live so long--that a Committee be appointed o /10/t4tiptd the subject, Etal 0 11,43 . rem mt intimated litc intention to hupport t 1 sam, • siihl that att. the principle of this mit bud been already- amply cii t e asse d a nd its details been made matter of amply Lat. the isle ,tt frr . -9 ' uent e ' liberation, be was sorry Lord opposite should wish to interim:6Z Learned an d fruitless delay. It was argued by sorn i e le t c h ea t s t 4 i rY • change, now proposed ought, for consistoney u sake, if they were adopted at all, to be extended *till further;' but on that subject he would say that it was necessary to Framed gradually, in order to eel with effect. He saw no adequate grouna for delay and ho could testify that in the highest judieia quarters in Scotland -It-was felt that a great injury would be done if the measure were further delayed. He hoped, therefore, that their Lordships would now give the Bill a second reading. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said that this Bill was the crudest and most inconsistent low to regu late the jurisprudence of any country that he had ever met with. The Bill was intended to repeal certain Acts, and to enact certain new provisions. But what did it do in fact I It re-enacted the whole of the Acts in question save such us should be in consistent with the present Bill; so that a lawyer would be under the necessity of reading through the whole of the former Statutes to discover what was in conformity, and what was at variance with this law. He would venture to say that there were not two Noble Lords in that House who would agree as to what was or was not consistent with this Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the principle of the Bill had been admitted in it Bill which had been brought in many years ago, and dis cussed in a Committee. The Bill was then read a second time. To be committed on Wednesday. SALE OF BEER BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the third reading of the Bill. Tire Duke of RICHMOND thought that a more gradual change ought to take place in the law than could be brought about by this Bill. In the case of the bounties in the linen trade fisheries Government had allowed time. The clause which he pro posed the other night he should again propose to night ; viz., that the matter should stand over for a year. Would coy advantage be gained by the public by the destruction of 50,000 publicans ? If his clause of the former evening were rejected, lie should then move another clause. He should also propose that no one who bud received parochial relief should be allowed to occupy one of these houses. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had no objection to the insertion of a few words to tho effect that the securities of persons to have excise licenses should be householders, assessed and paying poor rates. As to preventing a constable having one of these licensed houses, he begged to remind the Noble Duke that the office of constable was a burden. Persons were riot to be excluded from it in conse quence of enjoying the privilege of a license. As to the amendment respecting hard labour, he begged to remind the Noble Duke that the penalties were on account of failure. lie did not believe that it was usual to sentence a person confined for debt to the punishment of hard labour. The publicans at present obtained enormous profits under their licenses. There had been instances of persons leak ing 7001. and 8001. a-year, with an expenditure of no more than 2or :3,000/. capital. There could be no preat injury in not depriving these persons of every thing they possessed, or even of a small por tion of what they possessed, but by creating such a competition as would benefit the community gem rally, they would only be deprived of a part of their enormous profits. There was one part of the profits —namely, that from the sale of spirits—which. could not be touched at all. The same might be said of that part of their licenses which enabled them to send out beer to other houses. The Bill was then read a third time. Lord MALMESBURY did riot think she clause of tho Noble Duke (Richmond) would interfere with the operation of the Bill. By giving an addi tional year, those who had embarked their capital would have a better opportunity of getting out of die trade. They ought to have a year of grace. The Duke of Richmond's amendment was put and negatived. The Duke of RICHMOND proposed another clause, which was also negatived. Several amendments were then proposed by the Duke of WELLINGTON, and agreed to. • One was that two householders should be security for the person taking out a license. The Duke of RICHMOND proposed "That no constable or police officer should be allowed to keep one of these houses." The Marquis of SALISBURY said that the clause was unnecessary; for, by the present law, no publican could be u constable. The Duke of RICHMOND said that those per sons who sold beer were not by this law publicans. The Noble Duke then withdrew his amendment, and ilso the amendment relating to punishment by hard _ . labour. Other Bills were passed through their respective stages, and their Lordships adjourned at Twelve o'clock.

Calthorpu Gage . . _ Reiiesdalei Walsingtiam LORDS. Rivers Skelmeridalo GENERAL ELECTION. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the freeholders. of Surrey took place at the Three Tuns Tavern, in the Borough, for the purpose of inviting Colonel Jolliffe to become a candidate for the representation of the county in the ensuing Parliament. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. C. Barclay) said, that in the course of an interview he had with Colonel Jul life, at the commencement of last week, he had ex pressed a desire of becoming a candidate for the re presentation of that county in Parliament, particu larly as ten days had now elapsed since Mr. Pallmer had intimated his intention of resigning, and no in dividual had, in the interim, come forward to an nounce himself. In the event of any other gentle man who offered himself to the consideration of the freeholders, and whose public conduct was well known and appreciated in the county, the Colonel would immediately desist from pursuing his intention any further; but as no such person had as yet come forward to claim their suffrages, be would, if the feeling of the meeting was favourable to his views, offer himself to their notice at the ensuing election. The Chairman then eulogised the public conduct of Colonel Jolliffe, observing that be was a man whose public career must be well known to most of those present, and whose influence and property in the county rendered him a fit and proper person to fill the responsible situation to which he had aspired. Mr. YOUNG, the Magistrate, was happy to hear that Colonel Jolliffe intended to offer himself us a candidate for the county : his line of politics was congenial with his own,—namely, he was a firm and stanch supporter of Church and State as they were at present established, and on this account the gallant Colonel should have his support. A Freeholder here inquired if the Chairman had the authority of Colonel Jolliffe to answer what questions should be put to him relative to the Colo nel's political tenets—whether or not he was an ad : vocute for Parliamentary Reform ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that he had no such au thority, but he would undertake to say, in the Co. lonel's absence, horn a knowledge of his previous Parliamentary conduct, that he was decidedly inimi cal to such a reform as that alluded to. The Freeholder then asked whether the Colonel, in the event of his being returned, would vote for lessening the expenditure of the country ? The CHAIRMAN said, that he could not of course be expected to answer all the questions that might be addressed to him relative to the political conduct of Colonel Jolliffe; but this he would venture to assert, that he would vote for lessening the expen diture, when midi vote would not tend to the dan ger of the institutions of the country. In Parlia ment, the Colonel Lad voted for Catholic 'emanci pation, and also in favour of the Test and Corpora tion Acts. Several other Freeholders addressed the meeting, and it was ultimately resolved that a requisition, signed by the freeholders present, should be for warded to Colonel Jo declaratory of the high opinion entertained of his public conduct, and call ing on him to offer himself a candidate at the ensu ing election fur the county, and promising him their support. WALLINGFORD.—A contest is likely to take place at the next election for the representation of this borough. E. F. Maitland, Esq., of Park-place, Henley, end J. Bayley, Eq., of Blount's-court, near Reading, the two late unsuccessful candidates, in tend taking the field against the present Members, who have completed their canvass. Since the above was forwarded to us, it has been announced that Mr. Maitland has retired.—Reading -Mercury. We were strangely out in our anticipation last week, that there would be no contest for the repre sentation of this borough in Parliament. The un expected retirement of Mr. Monck has excited uni versal regret, and has already brought two new can didates into the field, and a third is confidently spoken of.—Reading Mercury. LEOMINSTER.—Mr. Serjrant Ludlow intends to stand for this borough, in the place of Mr. Ward, who has resigned, and has sent in his resignation to Bridgenorth and Reading, from both of which places he had received requisitions. It is expected the borough will be warmly contested. We are informed thut a requisition calling upon Lord Viscount Encombe, grandson of the Earl of Eldon, and nephew of Sir M. W. Ridley, Burt., to come forward as a candidate for the representation of this county in Parliament, is now in course of signa ture.--Durham Advertiser. There is likely to be another severe contest for Northumberland, between Mr. Bell, Mr. Liddell, and Mr. Beaumont, all of whom are determined to go to a poll—lbid. In reference to the approaching election for Dur ham, we stated in our paper of Friday last our con fident belief that a third candidate would "strive for the honour of representing this ancient city in Par liament," and in little more than two hours after we had thus expressed ourselves, a declaration from Sir Roger Gresley, Bart., was put into our hands, declaring his intention to solicit the suffrages of the freemen.—Aid. LANCASITIRR.—Mr. W. Patten, the new candidate for this county, has been actively canvassing the elec tors; and it appears very probable that he will be returned in the room of Mr. Blackburne. PRESTON.—Mr. Hunt was invited to become a candidate for this place, but it seems he has declined to do so, and the only candidates are the lion. E. Stanley end John Wood, Esq. NORTRUSIBERLAND.—Mr. T. W. Beaumont, the new candidate, intends to carry on the contest to the last; but the Hon. Mr. Liddell states that he is not able to make any further pecuniary sacrifice. Mr. Beaumont states that he will use every means to effect economy and retrenchment in all the departments of the state. CIIESTER.--It is probable that the two members will be Sir P. G. Egerton and the Hon. Mr. Gros venor. GLOUCESTER.—Though one of the candidates for this city, M. F. Berkeley, Esq., has withdrawn his pretensions, the contest is likely to proceed with much spirit. Mr. I3ransby Cooper has again an nounced himself, and Colonel Wells and Mr. Phill- Potts are using strenuous exertions to procure the suffrages of the freeholders. GLoucttsTmn. (Cotirrrv.)—The two present can didates have again offered themselves. HULL—Mr. O'Neill has not accepted the Chil tern Hundreds, but intends, in a few days, personally to solicit the suffrages of the burgesses. LEICESTER.—Sir Charles Hastings and Mr. Evans have commenced their canvass; but, for the present, Mr. Otway Cave declines to Announce hitn self formally as a candidate. The freemen have been invited not to promise their votes, but to re serve them " for a candidate of tried principles," who will be shortly announced. LEICESTER (Coutvry).--Nathing seems yet decided. DußnAm.--Thare is a report that Viscount En combe, grandson of the Earl of Eldon, intends to offer himself. There are already three candidates. Sir Roger Gresley comes forward in the room of Sir Henry Hardinge. BERWICK.—There are four candidates, Colonel Beresford and Sir Francis Blake, the present Mem ' bet s and Frederick Gye and E. B . B eaumont, Esql * g• NIALDON,Quintin Dick, Esq. has offered him self for this borough, in the room of his brother, Hugh Dick, Esq. Mr. Conyers had been requested to oppose Mr. Dick, but he not only declined to do so, but stated that he had no wish to see any other representative, - FALMOUTII.—The present representatives have each addressed the electors, solicitin g t h e i r su ff rage s iit the ensuing e l ect i on , an d no opposition is yet talked of. PENRYN.—Sir Charles Lemon, Bert., appears to have a good chance of success for this borough, Mr. Barclay having resigned. The electors of the borough of Penryn are in high spirits, there being no lack of candidates for the honour of representing them in the next Parlia ment. Mr. Manning has declined soliciting a re newel of that honour, but Mr. Baring, Mr. Weed ing, the Hon. Mr. Bulwer, and Lord Percival, are said to have already announced themselves as candi dates. On Tuesday, Sir Charles Lemon, Bart. announced his intention of soliciting the suffrages of the electors, and his friends commenced an active canvass : report speaks favourably of his prospects of success. The Hon. Baronet (MCC before repre sented the borough in Parliament; he possesses considerable property in the town and neighbour hood, and ranks deservedly high as an independent Cornish gentleman; his highly respectable connec tions have also considerable interest in Penryn. There is also much bustle in the other of the open boroughs of Cornwall, s ome of which are likely to be severely contested. W. T. Hope, Esq., arrived at Penryn this day, to offer himself for the borough; he comes in the interest of Lord Percival.—West Briton. SUDBURY.—Thouglii t is stated confidently that Sir John Walsh and Mr. Walrond can hardly fail of success, yet is said that a new candidate upon the independent interest is about to start, with con siderable pretensions. Mr. C. Towers, of Weald hall, Essex, has also been sounding the electors. YoßK.—The Hon. Edward Petre, and the Hon. T. Dunda', are proceeding satisfactorily with their canvass, and it is said that Mr. Bayntun is ra ther in the back ground. Colonel Wilson is daily expected in York to commence operations. The two Whig candidates, although recommended to form a coalition, have not yet openly done so; but we are glad to say, that they are proceeding with the most friendly feeling, and have each met with that extraordinary encouragement which has caused theta both to resolve to stand a contest, however pro tracted, should that be found requisite; and to yield to no opposition whatever, so long us the freemen of York, who have so readily promised their votes, will remain firm and unchangeable. Of the Tory candi date we cannot say much, for he is a stranger to us, as well as to most others in the city. We think that he has been deceived by his new and blue friends; and we certainly would advise him to be cautious how he (whose professions are limited, and whose sincerity, as a stranger, must be doubt ful) proceeds in opposition to gentlemen supported, us the other two are, by every thing that can tend to overthrow him, and to secure to them an ulti timate and a glorious triumph. During the week, the York freemen in the distant towns, villages, &c., have been visited by both parties. We shall therefore not attempt to particularize any of those meetings, after having already so minutely noticed the proceedings in the city.— York Herald. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.—Mr. Ralph Bourne, it appears, has withdrawn his pretensions in favour of one of the other candidates. CORNlVALL—Sirkchard Vyvyan and Mr. Wynne Pendarves, the present members, are again in the field. There is a report of a third candidate in the person of Lord Valletort. CARLISLE.—CoIoneI Lushington, the candidate upon the Lowther interest, has been addressing the electors of this city, and lie tells them in support of his pretensions that he has "conscientiously, faith fully, and diligently discharged the duties of the im portant trusts reposed in him in 1827." It is con fidently said that there will be no contest ; some of the gentlemen mentioned as likely to offer them selves being afraid of the expense. COVENTRY.—On Thursday last Edward Ellice, Esq. concluded his canvass in Coventry. Ile was, it is said, successful, end has every prospect of be ing returned without opposition. Mr. Fyler, who is also highly popular, comes in on Tuesday. For once in halls century it is expected this election will conclude without its usual violence and expense. COVENTRY.--Rumours have been current in this town during the present week, that it is intended, to propose our townsman, Mr. Th omas A t t woo d, as one of the future members for Coventry.—Birming haat Journal. PONTEFRACT.—Mr, Starkie, it is believed, will retire. Mr. Houldsworth will, however, stand again, andihe other candidates mentioned are the Him. P. Stourton, a son of R. P. Milnes, Esq. the Hon. William Lascellee, and Mr. Hardy. WESTMORELAND.—Lord Lowther and IL C. Lowther, Esq. have again solicited the suffrages of the freeholders, and they state their determination to continue to maintain the principles which have obtained for them so many renewals of their con fidence. CANTEREURY..--Lord Clifton, the Ron. Richard Watson, and Mr. Baring, are canvassing Canterbury. DOVER,—Sir John Rae Reid, Bart. and John Halcomb, Esq., have nrrived in Dover, and both have commenced an active canvass of the town. Mr. Thomson, the preserit Member, is expected to morrow, and a very severe struggle is again expected at the next election. HYTHIL—Mr. Majoribanks and Mr. Loch are likely to he returned without opposition. SANDWICH.—Mr. Grove Price and Vice-Admiral Blackwood are canvassing Sandwich. STaxtronD.--There is likely to be a spirited op position to the influence of the Marquis of Exciter. NORTIIAMPTON.—Sir George Robinson and Sir Robert Gunning have commenced their canvass. The Hon. A Trevor, it appears, has relinquished the contest, and left the town. WOODSTOCK.—Mr. Charles Spencer Churchill is a candidate, and the Marquis of Blandford halt writ ten a long Cddress to the electors, in which he enters into an explanation of his public conduct, and states that he shall personally solicit their suffrages, as soon as he is released from his present Parlia mentary duties. RUTLAND (COUNTY.)—The two present Mem bers will, it is said, be again returned. CONTESTED ELECTIONL—Mr. Henry Baring, jun. is making an active and successful canvass at , Can• terbury, as is Sir Henry Blackwood at Sa»thvich ; the gallant Admiral and Mr. Murryat will in all pro bability be the sitting members. Captain Polhill, it is expected, will disappoint the expectations of; Lord John Russell, who offers himself for Bedford isistead of his brother, Lord William, his Lordship having grievously offended the Methodists, who are very numeious, by some severe strictures in one of his publications. The friends of Colonel Macqueen, who so successfully contested the county at the last election, will, it is thought, still nominate him, in epite of his address to the county declining it con test. Leominster is to be contested, and it ii pro bable that Mr. Ward, not Captain Hotham; will lose his seat in that borough, and two fresh candi dates start for Barnstaple, on the resignation of Mr. Alexander and retirement of Mr. Hodgson. The election of both is pretty secure, one being supported by Government, the other by the 'Gribble interest. At Yarmouth the two present Members (Celond Anson and Mr. Rumbold) having been so coldly rt. , ceived, two new candidates are about to offer them selves; a great majority of the resident *suers having declared themselves in favour of a ndw re presentation, it is supposed that Colonel Anson and Mr. Rumbold will not stand a contest. DUTIUN.--Tho Dublin Freeman's Journal:men tions a report that %Ir. Doherty intends to offer himself for this city. LOUTIL—A most numerous and resp4table meeting of the friends of independence in the county of Louth was held on \Vednesday,at the Connaittee room of the Louth Independent Club, Dundalk, George Tuaffe, Esq., of Smarner-castle, was called to the elittir. Henry Cheater, Esq. proposer) and Nicholas Markey, Esq. seconded a resolutioni that Dattie).O'Connell, Esq. be requested to offeri self as a candidate for the county of Louth. The resolution was hailed with the loudest acclamations, and passed without a single dissentient void, ex cept that of M r . It. M. B e ll ew, who persevles in offering himself f or t h e represe n tat i on o f t h e c unty. Mr. Anthony Marmion declared his ititentipn of withdrawing hi s pretens i ons i n t h e event of Mr. O'Connell consenting to beCome a candidatti. A second resolution was carried, calling a grineral meeting of the freeholders to take place at %Eh:- Bellingham, on Thursday next, in order to taco , tain the sense of the county on the subject. Mr. Chester was called to the chair, and three cheers being given for O'Connell and Dawson, the meeting separated. Mr. Shell had returned to Dublin on the day of meeting. M. Fortescue, Esq. has declared his intention of contesting the representation. MEATIL—The freeholders of this county have requested Mr. Lawless to come forward, but we have not yet seen that gentleman's answer to their request. GALWAY.—James O'Hara, Esq. again comes forward, and in his address to the electors, pledges himself to promote the local interests of the town. GALWAY.—Lord Dunk), eldest son of the Earl of Clancarty, is a candidate for this county. GALWAY.—Sir John Burke, James Daly, E.q. and Thomas B. Martin, Esq. are the candidates for this county; and they are busily engaged in the Imo motion of their respective interests, Mr. Valentine Blake, of Menlo-castle, appears determined to contest the honour of representing Galway with Mr. O'Hara, our present Member. Connaught Journal. ATII - LONE.—For this borough we hear that the son of Mr. Andrew Ennis has been solicited to stand. Alderman M'Kenny is not, as we had reason to believe, a candidate for Dublin. Lord Bingham, as has been reported, does not retire from the con test in Mayo.—Dublin Evening Post. ENNIs.—It is said that a committee is forming, with a view to ensure a thorough reform in this borough. WESTPdEATII.—Mr. Smith, the late Member, is expected to btand for this county. QUEEN'S COUNTY.—Sir Henry Parnell and Sir Charles H. Coote will be re-elected. KING'S COUNTY.—Mr. Cassidy, of Monastere yen, a Roman Catholic, will, it is expected, offer himself. WExvortp.—lt is reported that Mr. Ram, of Gorey, will stand for this county, in place of Mr. Shaplund Carew. Sir T. Esmonde is also talked of. CARLOW.— The present Members (father-in-law and son-in-law) have started for the representation. is said that Mr. Maurice O'Con nell has an eye upon this place, provided the elec tors will vote for love; but we believe the great body of freeholders, and many of the freemen too, have fixed the minimum at no less a sum than 101. a head —Drog,lteda Journal. Mr. King Tennison is now a candidate for the county of Roscommon, and Mr. Waddy for the county of Wexford. The certainty of an immediate dissolution of Par liament has already caused in this county the most active exertions of the respective candidates and their friends. The Knight of Kerry's address ap years in this evening's publication. The Hon. Wil liam Browne, who arrived at his seat, Woodlawn, near Killarney, on Friday evening, was actively en gaged on Saturday in canvassing the numerous free holders in that quarter, and we are authorized to state that his address to the electors will appear in our paper of Thursday. Major Crosbie is also ac tively employed in a most general canvass.—Kerry Herald. A meeting, consisting of about 200 freemen of the city, was held at the Manor on Monday evening in the open uir, to consider the state of the repre sentation of the city. They came to no resolution, but we understand are to meet glOto on the sub ject. They appeared determined to support any candidate against our present representative.— Waterford Mail. Since the foregoing article bad been prepared for press, we have been put in possession of the feeling of the freemen and other electors of this city to such an extent, that we feel ourselves justified in so lemnly asserting that the representation of Water ford is perfectly open, and that if an independent and otherwise suitable candidate shall offer himself, he will most assuredly be returned in opposition to any nominee or boroughmongering tool of the Town Council.—lbid. In Louth Mr. Shell has every prospect of certain triumph. The Loul# Free Press, in speaking- of Mr. Shell, gives the following extract of a letter, which, it states, comes from the most illustrious be nefactor of Ireland; it of course means the Marquis of Anglesea :—" I consider Mr. Shell to have ren dered such essential service to Ireland, and (if I mistake him not) he is so sure to prove himself a most able, most liberal, and most independent Mem ber of Parliament, that (I repeat it) I shall rejoice in his success." Robert S. Carew, Esq. has intimated his inten tion of withdrawing from the representation of the county of Waterford. Edmund A. M'Naghten, Esq. retires from the county of Antrim, and the Earl of Belfast (the eldest son of the Marquis of Donegal), and Edmund M'Donnell, Esq. have offered themselves for the vacancy. BOROUGH OP NEWRY..—A rumour has become current in Newry, that the representation of the borough will be contested with Mr. Knox. If there is to be a contest, we are aware that no opposition has, ere now, been got up in much less time, and with much less chance of success, than at the pre sent jancture.—Newry Examiner. SCOTCII ELECTIONS.—Great interest is taken in Lanark in the result of the approaching election of a Member for the burghs. Mr. Monteith, it is sup posed, is secure of Peebles, through the influence of Mr. Hay; and of Selkirk, in virtue of his own. Mr. Gillen has gained Linlithgow, the returning burgh. Upon Lanark, therefore, hangs the determi nation of the election. The number of voters will be 20.—Glasgow Journal. DUMEARTONSIIIRR.—NIr. Colquhoun, of Killer mont, is likely to meet with an invincible opponent in Dumbartonshire, no less a personage than the Duke of Montrose's second son, Lord William Graham—Edinburgh Observer. STIRLING.—Robert Downie, Esq. M.P. for the borough, has been paying his respects to the elec tors, and another candidate of extensive influence is expected there in a few days. The number of new Members at a general elec- tion usually averages about 60; but, from the cal culation which has been recently made, it is sup posed there will be about 200 in the next Parliament. KENT. (From the Kent and Essex Mercury.) The spirit of electioneering is rife throughout the land, and no where is there a greater stir than in Kent. The County Members, we believe, will walk over the course, as no person has appeared to con test the stakes against such experienced jockies. There will, however, be plenty of sharp work for the minor plates. Dover will be " a well-foughten field," if some who have already declared their intention of starting for the honour of its representation should not find it convenient to bolt off the course. Mr. Poulett Thomson and Sir John Rae Reid, together with Mr. Halcomb, the Barrister, and Hon. Secretary pro tem. to the anti-Catholic petitioners, are the present can didates, Mr. Trant having retired. With respect to Mr. Thomson, we apprehend there can be no doubt of his return, for as a practical man he has few equals either in or out of Parliament. Of Sir John Reid's pretensions we know little ; but from such men as Mr. Macomb and his tom-foolery, Heaven defend us I Hythe has been addressed by Mr. S.

Sandwich is p ret ty muc h i n t h e same qu i et dis position. Si r H enry F ane and Mr. J osep h M urryat will make their best bow to the Free Barons, and exeunt °nines. Rochester, however, presents a different aspect. The spirit-stirring notes of the battle-cidl have betu sounded from the quarters of more than one compe titor. Mr. Bernal's banners are floating on the " most wall;" but GenerulDundss having sounded a re treat, Mr. Hughes Hughes and Lord Villiers, the e ld es t son of the Earl of Jersey, have entered the arena. It is also understood that Colonel Fitzelareuee, the son of our present Sovereign, is disposed to :tau for the prize. As yet, however, there is no formal declaration to that effect.
