THE REPRESENTATION OF WINDSOR.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY nom

- -
This morning, the chairmen of Lord C. Wellesley's
committee at the general election in ISM received
a letter from his lordship, to the effect that the
almost total absence of sight under which the noble
lord is still suffering renders it impossible for bin to
discharge his parliamentary duties, and that he had
made up his mind to vacate his seat for Windsor, by accept-
ieg the Chiltern Hundreds on an early day. Scarcely bed
this communication been made public when it wu an.
flounced that the new writ had been moved for at the early
sitting of the House of Commons. Before this latter fact
was generally known, Mr. G. W. Hope, accom-
panied by Mr. Leslie Melville (the resident partner
of the Windsor Bank and Brewery), had made a partial
_ .

canvass of the town, and at five o'clocit in the afternoon bin
address, offering himself as a liberal conservative candidate

was issued. Mr. Rope is the nephew of Lady Bfontags,
and cousin to the Duke of Bucclench, which will account
for the address being dated from Ditton Park, in this neigh-
bourhood, one of the many seats possessed by his grace,
and now occupied by Lady Montagu. Mr. Rope was re-
turned for Weymouth in 1337, in opposition to the late Sir
Thomas Fowell Buxton, and will secure on the present
occasion the cordial support of the conservative party. It
is understood that Mr. Samson Ricardo, of Titoess Park,
Sunninghill, who contested this borough against Lord
Charles Wellesley in 1352, will be in the field to morrow.

TIVERTON ELECTION.

The writ for the election of a member of pulls.

ment for this borough wu received at Tiverton on Than-
day morning. The election is fined for Monday next. The
committee for securing Lord Palmereton's re-election has
met, and pawed a resolution t the effect, " That consider-
ing the present state of public affairs, and how necessary
Lord Palmerston's presence is in London, his lordship',
friends are of opinion that under these circumstances, his
personal attendance at the coming election should be die-
pensed with."
Yesterday (Friday) the following address from Lord Pal-
merston was issued :

"TO THE ELECTORS OP TIVERTON.

" Gentlemen,—The Queen having been gracionsly pleased
to confer upon me the (Ace of First Lord of the Treasury,
my seat in the Rouse of Commons hu become vacant; and
I again solicit at your hands a continuance of that eon&
deuce on your part which I have now for so long a period
had the honour to enjoy. I am fully sensibie of the deep
responsibility which attaches to the high post in which
her Majesty has been pleased to command my
'ces; and no effort shall be wanting on my
part for a due performance of the important
duties which have thus devolved upon me. To
promote the welfare and prosperity of this great nation
must at all times be the anxious study of those to whose
bands may be committed the management of its affairs;
but, at the present moment, that task is beset with difficul-
ties which require proportionate exertims. This country
has been compelled to engage in war, for objects which the
judgment of the nation has declared to be of sufficient mag-
nitude and importance to render necessary the exertions
and sacrifices which that war may require. We are con-
tending against a powerful ad y, but we are contending
in concert with a powerful and faithful ally ; and I confi-
dently hope that the spirit and energy of the British people
will triumph over all difficulties, and that by vigorous
exertions in war we shall attain that end which is the
object of all just war—a sate and honourable peace.—l
Fare the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and
humble servant, " PALMERSTON."

ELECTION FOR THE RADNORSHIRE BOROUGHS.-
On Thursday Sir G. C. Lewis wee returned without oppo-
sition. In his address from the buitings at New Radnor,
he spoke against the proposal to make England a great mill.
tary power. "It is our true wisdom," he said, "to limit
ourselves to that amount of military force which shall
enable us to defend our own shores, and to protect ear
great dependencies abroad. If we can maintain such a
military power as shall protect the •ast region of India,
and our distant colonies in Australia, and in America, aid
if we can completely defend our own coasts, it appears to
me that the objects of our national policy have been ful-
filled. I should regret if we should embark in any mere

ambitious projects: I wish to see the extinction of that
inordinate and senseless desire which has been sometimes
expressed of late, almost usurping the functions of Pro-
viience, for going in all parts of the world to redress wrong
and to see that right is done; and that we should confine
ourselves to the assertion of those legitimate international
rights which a moderate military power will enable us to
enforce."
