HALIFAX ELECTION.
The following address has beta issue! by Sir
Charles Wood to be electors of the borough of Halifax:
" Uestlenten,—Tbe rejection by the House of Commis
sf the anancial proposals of Lord Derby's government bee
led to their resignatioe of office. A new administratios
has been formed, consisting of men who have taken a pee-
-1 eminent part in proomiag that sturdy edemas of impeom
meat is our laws and iutitations which has generally
characterised the legislation of the last quarter of • win-
hwy. It is the trot purr*e of the premed goveranseet
to maintain and extend this policy ; sad, me far from
emaidering such a policy to be, as it has been n eeseuted
by its opponents, dangerous and &retractive, lam me-
vmeed that the welfare of the people and the stability of
our institutions depend upon our legislation twirl properly
adapted to the incressirg development and intelligence of
the community. With this °carnelian, I have sat hesitated
to take part in an administrat:oe founded on the principle
of well-advised but certain program. By so &Mg, I have
placed at your disposal the important trim of reprmating
the borough of Halifax is parliament which 1 received from
you not quite six months ego, and of which I now wisest
the renewal at your kande. So short • time has elapsed
since I hod • full opportunity of stating my views on
dithered questions of public interest, that I will not now
*espy your time by repeating them. I have never changed
my opinions on public policy, when 1 have accepted odre
Oder the crown. In the recent short session of parliament
I believe that, in all may votes, I have faithfully represented
the opinions of the great majority of the inhabitants of
Halifax. I have voted, that the repeal of the scorn laws was
• wise, just, and beneficial measure ; that the recent com-
mercial policy, firmly maintained sad prudently ex-
tended, will mast surely promote the welfare and
eoutentment of the people ; and ageism doubling
and estendiog the house tax, merely foe the object
of repealing half the melt toz, from which, I believe,
little or no benefit would have resulted, either to the pro-
ducer or the consumer. As sem as I can leave Leaden I
shall hasten down to Halifax; and availing myself of the
opportunity of explaining more fully my opinion, on public
matters, I shall ask you again for a renewal of that con-
fidence with which you have so long honoured me, and
which I prise as toie highest distinction that I can receive
trove a body of my fellow-citizen..
" I have the honour to be, Gsatlemon, with every
sentiment of respect and gratitude, your very faithful
lereeen, "C 11.111,1• WOOD.

GLOUCESTER CITY ELECTION.
Our correspondent, writing front Gloucester yes-
' terday. says: This city has been suddenly roused into •
state of political activity and excitement by the approach of
another parliamentary election, which is to be hotly con-
tested. Lk, apposatmeat of Rear-Admiral M. F. F.
Berkeley as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, under the
Abortion' ministry, has necessitated an appeal from the
gallant admiral to his constituents for re-election, and,
although the writ is net yet issued, the gallant admiral is
already on the spot, and has issued an address to the
' electors, in which he continently arks for a renewal of the
honour of representing them in parliament, alleging that
ha has sot in the smallest degree altered or abated any of
those political opinions which seined their forest on the
last wad former occasions. He adds, "My vote has
been given to ward off from yen the inflic-
tion of the double house tan, prepaid by the
late government, and which I considered to be
framed too mach with a view to class interaslN at the same
time that it was a covert attack upon the electoral fran-
chise."—Adatiral Berkeley has been mavassiag the electors
to-day. He is to be opposed by Mr. H. T. Hope, the late
member, sad the assucensfal conservative candidate at
the general election. Mr. Rope is muted to be at present
abroad, bat his friends have determined to pat him in
nomination, and as Mr. Hope has on a former occasion
beaten the admiral "single-handed," the eosservative party
believe that they as do the like again. A meeting of Mr.
Hope's friends sad of the conservative or " blue " party
generally, was held last night, at which resolutions were
adopted fur appointing committees, dividing the city into
districts, and commencing an immediate personal canvass
of the electors. Mr. Hope's name was received with en-
thusiasm, and committees were appointed. Theme pro-
ceeded to work this morning, and both parties are now
actively engaged in canvassing the electors. It
is expected that the writ will be moved for to-day, ,
and tt the election will take plate seat Tuesday' 11
