ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BATIL—As the dissolution approaches, says •
correspondent, both parties in this city appear to be bracing
themselves up for the struggle, which, front the known
even balance that exists between the conservatives and
liberals, promises to be a severe one. Mr. What,loy, Q.C.,
the Derby conservetive candidate, hu been holding ciliates
of ward meetings—a course never before known to have
been taken by • conservative in Bath—at which be
bar explained his views, and been subjected at
some of them to a pretty rigorous cross-examination
by the electors. All the meetings have been convened by
circular, the presentation of which at the door was the pass-
port to the person presenting it. In Walcut (the largest
ward), however, a resolution was carried by a large majo-
rity, declaring the learned gentleman not to be a fit and
proper person to represent the city ; and the others have
been allowed to pass off without any question being put to
the vote. Mr. Whateley has also within the list few days
called upon several of the electors personally, end he pro-
fesses to feel certain of success. On the other side the libe-
ral committee have been active in Cuir canvass, and it is
said have received more direct promise+ for both their can-
didates than there were votes for Captain Scobell when he
was returned at the vacancy occasioned by the elevation of
Lord Ashley to the peerage. They, therefore, also profess
great certainty of success. The liberal candidate., Captain
Scobell, R.N., and Mr. Phinn, are also expected from Lon-
don to commence &series of open ward meetings this week.
The conservative, have given up all thoughts of a second
candidate.

lleanrentne (Souvn).—Messrs. Colville and
Mundy, the members for this division of Derbyshire, have
issued addresses to the e ketors, seeking the honour of again
being returned to parliament u their representatives.
They profess themselves supporters of Lord Derby's adini•
nistrition.

EAST SwumET.—A correspondent states that it
is now pretty generally understood that Mr. Pinney, the
liberal member for this division, will surrender his position,
if another liberal candidate can be obtained, and will, in
that case, transfer his services to his old constituents at
Lyme. A requisition has accordingly been prepared, soli-
citing Mr. C. A. Elton, son of Sir Charles Elton—a name
held in the highest respect in the county—to stand for this
division. Several influential names are affixed to the re-
quisition, which is daily receiving a large acces,ion of sig-
natures, and there is little doubt that Mr. Elton will accede
to the request to become a candidate; in which case he will
run Mr. Knatebbull very hard, and in all probability be se-
lected to fill one of the seats for East Somerset.

PEEBLESSIIIIIL—Mr. Forbes *Kenzie is going to
lose Liverpool, and intends to come back Ihr name of
an aged nobleman connected with the county has been
made use of as sanctioning this arrangement; but that part
of the story is incredible, and only to be regarded as a cha-
racteristically audacious ruse.—Scotsman.
TAUNTON.—Mr. Laboachero and Sir T. E. Cole-
brook, the present representatives for this borough, have
issued addresses to the electors, soliciting a renewal of their
confidence.

SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND, NEWCASTLE-ON-
TYNS, TOISDAT EVINING.—The meeting of liberal elec-
tore, called by requisition, was held in this town today, in
the Royal liotel ; Charles Atticus Mooch, Esq., chairman
of the County Quarter Session., presided. Sir John Fife,
Alderman Ileadlam, Mr. Crawshay, of Gateshead, Mr.
Ralph Walien, and nearly all the leading reformers in the
district, were present. Mr. W. B. Beaumont, the free
trade candidate, wee introduced by Mr. It. P. Philipeon,
and was very warmly received. He addressed
the meeting, and declared himself a free trader, and
an advocate of au extension of educational privileges to
persons of all sects. He denominated the preset ministry
as a party without principle ; my Lord Derby adopting a
fresh set of opinions apparently with every change in the
moon. He also stated that Sir George Grey would be tri-
umphantly returned for North Northumberland, and that
in all probability if that hon. baronet had not been
opposed—he being opposed by the conservatives from per-
sonal rather than from party considerations—the southern
division might not have been disturbed. The resolutions
adopted by the meeting were—" That the present crisis of
foolitical affairs seriously demanded the attention of the
liberal electors of the division, and rendered it their duty
to use every possible exertion to enure the return of
two liberal candidates. That Mr. Beaumont's opi-
nions being so much in unison with their own,
he was a fit and proper person to become one
of the representatives of the division of the county." The
meeting, being desirous of 00-operating with their brother
electors throughout the division, resolved that a requisition
to the high sheriff be prepared and circulated, requesting
him to convene a public meeting of the electors of South
Northumberland, in order to decide who are fit and proper
persons to represent this division of the county in parlia-
ment. A committee was appointed, and numbers of the
electors present signed the requisition to the high sheriff,
which was plaosd on the table. The resolutions were all
adopted unanimously, and the meeting was very warm and
enthusiastic.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY NIGHT.—A correspondent
says :—" In order to afford the best practical contradiction
to the report, very generally believed, that Lord Charles
Wellesley would retire from the contest, his supporters
have exerted themselves more energetically than ever since
last Monday, and his lordship resumed his canvass, for the
third time, to-day. The device* adopted by the tories to
secure the votes of the poorer clew of voters are as ingeni-
ous as, in many respects, they are discreditable. The
parochial clergy threaten to deprive needy voters of their
share of the Christmas gifts, unless they vote for Lord
Charles Wellesky. The station-master of the South
Western Railway has commanded the employis of the CJOI.
pany to vote for his lordship, on pain of dismissal, and
cites the authority of the directors for his interference.
The cost unscrupulous use of the Queen's name is made by
Lord Charles Wellesley's supporters, and every voter em-
ployed at the Castle or on the royal domain will vote for
the ministerial candidata. Instead of retiring from the
field, as was expected, Captain Bulkeley will so to the poll,
for the avowed purpose of securing Lord Charles's election,
it being understood that the gallant captain's expenses are
guaranteed by his lordship's committee. Nothing, how-
ever, can prevent the complete triumph of the liberal cause
is the return of Mr. Orenfell and Mr. Ricardo. The latter
gentleman has Just completed a most successful canvass and
I issued as address, in which he says—' I am now fully con-
vinced that the liberal interest in Windsor can command
the warn of both members to parliament, and I look for-
ward to the spprouhiag contest with the most perfect
madam in the result: Enthusiastic meetings of the
liberal skitters were held on Monday and Wednesday, and
• third meeting is filed for to-morrow night."
WEST OLOUCISTERSIIIRR.—Mr. Nigel Kingsoote
has been prosecuting unprecedentedng the past week, with,
as his [rimed' assert, success. correspon-
dist of •our own who resides in the neighbourhood of
Wootoa-undor-Edge, assures us that the general feeling
throughout that part of the division is, that Mr. Kings-
eole's election is • pentivo cort;iinty.CA6iielell/41101

Taz TEvloT MAIL enalline—The Teviot, which
a day or two shwa brought hem the Brazilian mail, made
see of the most profitable weeps ever known. She
leaded at Llaben and Southampton nearly 200 passengers
sad her cargo were specie and diamonds words
half a tiffs,, of dollars. Almost all the specie sent from
South Austin is now sent by the Brasilian packets, as A ia
moody destined for the Bank of England, and it is there-
fore convenient for it to be landed near London. The
Teviot reached home two days before she was due, and
would have been home two or three days before that but
loran aceidental detention at Bt. Vincent and Pernambuco.
EOM bete were laid by the passengers that she would not

twelve on the night of the 14th, however, rocket'
eel Ike lights were ascending and burning from her bow
he Ematbaaapton Water to signify that her mails had then
left her. At four o'clock in the morning the mails were in
London. The Brannan packet line must now be one of the
