Teti RreRLSENTATION or Esitex.—The activity
displayed with regard to the county registration, especially
in the rorthern division, has given rise to the expectation
that at all points the seats will be warmly contested;
and whispers are abroad as to gentlemen by whom the
battle is to be fought on the liberal side. One of thoo
rumours that appears to he received SO the most autbentil
is that the new baronet, Sir Thos. Birch Western, intends
to contest the northern division, and that it was with
• view to this that the register was so closely eerutiniseil,
and the strength of the supporters of that canoe sought
to be increased by new claims. Should this prove correct,
Mr. Gordon Ifebaw, whose name has been mentioned for
the north. will, it may be concluded, again contest Col-
chester. In the southern division it has been all along
understood that Mr. 'Wingfield Baker is sure to offer him-
self again as the liberal candidate, to contest the seat
vacated by Mr. Perry Watlington, with Lord Dacron,
or whoever may be the champion of the conservative
side—the seat of Mr. Brameton being considered by his
friend* quite safe. Within the last day or two, however,
we have heard that Mr. Baker is not to be left to Petit the
battle single-handed, and the gentleman whose name bits
been mentioned as his colleague in the contest is theaffon.
Chichester Fortescue, one of the Under-Secretaries of State,
and at present member for Louth. This gentleman
is the brother of Lord Clermont. and heir presumptive to
the peerage, and is connected with Essex by his marriage
into tie Waldegrsve family. Should these rumours prove
correct, with contests also at Maldoo and at Harwich, the
county will be stirred to its depths at the next election,
which it is now stated the government u anxious should be
broucht on in the spring.—CAelnufonl C NM. e'e.
SOI.T WARN ICKSII IRE. —lt is extremely difficult
to estimate the political results of the revision, as the
opiDiois of the voters have remained for so many years un-
asked. Nearly 41a) name. were struck off the list, some of
them being duplicates, some voters who had made fresh
claims ; and the number of new claim* was considerably
less than that of the names expunged, so that the total
number on the register has been considerably diminished.
That the change. inch as it is, is greatly to the advantage of
the liberals is undoubted, but the amount of gain cannot
wril be „reckoned until the general election.—Btrmingiurin
