ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

ATLESBURY.—Mr. Houghton being fairly out of
the field fur Aylesbury, the two liberal and two Wry em di-
dates face each other M straight lines. The Wry agents
speak of a triumph ; the liberal agents calculate upon the
defeat of their opponent. The real truth lies in this, that
there will be a hard struggle, and throughout the whole of
the new elections in the country, no hattic•ground will he
mihe exciting and instructive than that which Aylesbury
and the hundred.' are doomed to wituens.—Aylesbury
Newt.

AsIITON UNDEIt-LYNK.—There is no show• of oppo-
sition to the sittin4 member, Mr. Charles Hindley, anti
there is tio doubt that he will " walk the course."
BuiuutoN.—There• is rt liberal rock n-head in this
woo. For whilst Brighton can only elect twoliberal OWN-
Wes to parliameht, thrro lire three liberal competitors for
the two seats. First and foremost there is Capt. l'echell ;
and he, of course, 1144 claims on the united and energetic
support of the party that cannot he fairly disregarded.
Next comes Mr. Trelawney, who formerly represented
•lbvistuck ; and last of ell, Mr. Fluoks, a b.ewer, trom Dor-
se;•hire. Now, if all these three go to the poll, the chances
arc that turd Alfred lferrey, though a Derhyite and ■
TrAtarian, wi.l be returned fur Brighton. Whereas, if
one of the two taet•narrrrd gentlemen were only to retire
with a good grace, and the liberal party ',bring all dui
cower and strength to !,ear in support of Capt. Beckett and
Nee rein riving lib ral, Brighton, to a certainty, will
be properly rim...tutted in the next parliament. Who,
then, ought br retire Mr. Trelawney or Mr.
Harks? After fairly and impartially looking into the facts
of the ease, we have no doubt that retirement is the latter's
rim vial duty ; rod fir these reason,. In the first place, no
one in Brighton knows anything of Mr. Ffooks ; his ap-
pearavee there was a surprise ; he is nut an invited candi-
date ; he is not a politician having any public character to
justify or camss his in•rusian; aid he has only received
sufficient encouragement an support to be mischievous to
the liberal cause, by dividing it, without giving him the
ghost of a chance of success. On the other baud, Mr.
Trelawney is a gentleman of considerable parliamentary
experience.; a liberal of established reputation ; a public
man, in shrift, whose career attracted the voluntary atten-
tion of the leading Brighton liberal,, and who comes
forward at their request, and :in support of whose pre-
tensions the great bulk of the party arc agreed.

INC lIA Witte E.-1 lie Aylesbury News says :
" The county, by all amiont._,, is to remain unmolested, ex-
cept the candidature of Dr. Lie may he taken is a molesta-
tion. There will be a poll, unquestionably, fur Dr. Lee
mesins to light it cut against Dupre, Disraeli. and CAVell•
dish; noel so, of c 001..., there will be craw. voting and
mos tiring. There are some persons des?erataly annoyed
at Disraeb and fully believe ho is a sham, and therefore
will vote ed. the other three candidates. There are other
voters very much displeased ut the inexorable whigism of
Cavendish, and will seek to displace him by voting for Leo.
Vie good old tories, whatever may happen, will stick to
Dupre, because he consistently addr.ases them in tory hue
guage. 'lat. upon the whole. we recta to think that the
county nomination and poll will he a sham : there is no fair
and open fight fur principles, nod uo result is impending to
which the notion eaulook forward with interest.

BUCKINGHAM (BOROUGH). Ike Marquis of
Chanties and Cul. John Hull, the present mcmtivn,, have
issued addresses to their constituents, soli • 'lag the honour
of re-election. They pledge their zeulous support to the
present ministry.

BIRNITNOIL%3I.—Mr. SehoWield issued his address
ou Saturday. In the course of it the hon gentleman says :
" I need not recapitulate the opinions I entertain on the
leading questions uhich engage the attention of parliament.
My recorded votes an favour of every measure which was
calculated to enlarge the franchise and protect its exercise—
to extend the limits of free trade—to enforce a rigid eco-
nomy of the public finances—and generally to promote the
cause of good government and the security of our liberties,
whether civil or religious—will he, I hope, the best testi-
mony I can adduce. Deeply impressed with the value of
' those institutions which, with all their defects have contri-
buted so much to the freedom and independence' of this
country, I have neglected no means which I thought could
improve their fonn or extend their usefulness. Above all,
I have never lost sight of that dogma of my political creed,
that a hearty and unreserved trust in tho people is the
surest guarantee for their loyalty and patriotism. '

BRECON.—The iterVOrti Times says n conserva-
tive candidate has at but crone forward to oppose our pre-
sent borough member—Colonel Wads ns The candidate
is Mr. C. Mogan, the shiest son of Sir C. M. IL. Morgan,
of Trrdegar. A very persevering can VOSS has been carried
on by both parties, and from the SUCCIII of each we may
expect a very hard fought contest. Already the town
bears the aspect of 1832, and the greatest excitement pre-
vails among the electors. The colonel's supporters appear
to have esery hope of success, and the majority, if a poll be
demand. d, will not he large on either side.—Mr. J .seph
I;ailey. the present county member, has issued his addr,u,
but there is uo prospect of his being opposed.

- -
BODMIN.—There are now seven candidates for the
representation of this small borough.
Boar.—The opposing candidates, Lord Duncan
and Mr. Frederick r. el, continue untirig.gly to solicit the
sweet voices of the POO electors; and although one of them
must, by this time, have a suspicion of his fate, there is no
probability of avoiding a contest.
BOLTON.—There are four candidates. Mr. Blair,
the present Derbyite candidate, and Mr. Peter Ainsworth.
formerly a protectionist, but who now offers oa free trade
and liberal principles, together with Mr. Thomas Barnes,
cbsirman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com-
pany, and Mr. Crook, both liberals and free-traders.
Brunoxotern.—A warm contest for the represen-
tation of this borough is now fully expected. Thomas
Charlton Whitmore, E.q., who has been returned for this
town for upwards of twenty years, having expressed his
intention of retiring from its representation at the next
election' Henry Whitmore Esq., has come forward in the
place of his brother. Sir Robert Pigot, one of the present
members, is again in the field. The free•teade and liberal
party have brought forward the Hon. Frederick Cedogan
to solicit the suffrages of the electors on the whig side. Mr.
Whitmore and Sir Robert are stanch conservatives and
protectionists. The cinemas on all sides is a vigorous one,
and the struggle will be hard, no doubt. Jtairordshire
Advertiser.

COLCIIEATER.—WC learn from a correspondent
that some serious differences have sprung up amongst the
conservatives of Colchester, on religious grounds, and have
resulted in the introduction of a third conservative candi•
date. It has been for some time past understood that at
the forthcoming general election the support of the conser•
votive party should be given to Lord John Manners, one of
the sitting members, and Mr. W. IL Hawkins, a gentleman '
of property, residing in the neighbourhood. Circumstances
have occurred within the last few weeks, which have
created a great breach between the evangelical portion of
the constituency and the high church party, to which Lord
John Manners belongs. In order to defeat Lord John
Manners, the evangelical party addressed Mr. IL T. Prin.
sep, an }last India director, and that gentlemen, in reply to
their application, has consented to be put in nomination,
and to sit fur the borough, if elected, but will take no active
measures to secure his return.

DEVONPORT.—The mutest here will, doubtless, be
very severe. Many persons who, at former elections, have
supported the liberals will, in the coming contest, vote for
the conservatives. Thu great cause of this is government
influence' the town being almost wholly dependent upon the
dockyard and government establishments, and the strong
feeling which prevails against the grant to Meynooth.
DUDLEY.—Mr. Benbow, Lord Ward's tory agent
and trustee, has issued his address, soliciting a renewal of
confidence, and it is feared there is little chance of his being
successfully opposed. His lordship gives his countenance
to the free trade candidate for the county and for Kid•
derminster; to the protectionists for this borough and
Bewdley.
DswrmouTit.—lt in believed clay. a correspon-
dent) by persons who ought to be we I-animated that the
shipowner will beat the Lord of the Admiralty at this place.
EAST CORNWALL.—During the past week Mr.
Robartes, the liberal candidate, has viutsd most of the
towns in the division. Everywhere he has been received
with the utmost enthusiasm' and it is confidently antici-
pated that he will be placed at the head of the poll. Mr.
Pole Carew, and Mr. N. Kende% the ministerial candi-
dates, have net yet held many meetings, but the joint com-
mittee is making an active canvas on their behalf. It is
considered very doubtful which of the two will be selected.
Mr. Roberta on Saturday met a large number of the elec-
tors at Liskearts. He was received by tome thousands of
the miners of the district, with bawls of music and banners,
and an imposing procession paraded the Streets of the town.
His speech was applauded by some 10 or 12 thousand per-
sons on the Castle-green.
EYE (Scrrout).—A correspondent states that Sir
Edward Kerrison has intimated to the electors that in con-
sequence of his advanced years he shall retire from parlia-
mentary life at the close of the present session. Simul-
taneously with this declaration on address has been issued
by Mr. Edward C. Kerrison, in which, while offering him-
self as a candidate, he says he is a conservative opposed to
all violent changes. No opposition to Mr. Kerrison is yet
announced.

EAST SUSSEX. —Mr. Frewen has put forth a
second address. to the lectors of E.xst Susses, in which he
says:—" Befure I arrived at 144 wee, on Tuesday (where I
was tint expected), some resolutions bail been drawn up by
several gentlemen pledging themselves to vote for my excel-
lent colleague, Mr. Fuller, and myself, and inviting the
electors generally to join with them hi signing their names
to these resolutions. If the majority of the electors should
signify to me by this means that they are prepared to re-
cord their votes in my favour, it will be my duty to g•ve
them the opportunity of doing so. If, on the other hand,
this paper is only signed by a minority of the electors, how-
ever flattering I may consider their expressions of opinions
with reference to myself, I shall most probably withdraw
from the field, and not give them tee trouble of going to
the poll." This is tantamount to retiring from the eon-
' test. Mr. Frcwen know, well enough that the majority of
the electors will sign no such resolution. Mr. Dodson'e
CRUM is prosressing. In the towns he will poll 3 out of 4, and
even in agricultural districts like Rye he has made a favour-
able Impression. Connected with the land, the farmers feel

that he is one of them, whilst his University career be.
speaks him " a gentleman and a scholar."—Brighton
Herold.
FLINT.—A short time aim (says a correspondent)
Edmund Peel, of Ilryn-y-Pys, near Wrexham, issued
an address to the electors of the Flintshire boroughs,
*toting his intention to contest the coming election with Sir
John Ilisnmer, the present member. lie has, however,
lately turned his attention to the county, and now offers
himself in opposition to the lion. E. M. L. Mostyn. Ile
is in heart a protectionist, but his friends and canvassers
pri sent him to be of different opinicns according to the
polities of the electors upon whom they ;all. Mr. Mustyn
is, buwevi r, sale ; there is nut the slightest doubt of his
return. Richard Pelham Warren, Esq., of Mold, has
Wk. -n the place which Mr. Peel vacated, and states in his
address to the horough electors that he is a conservative,
and n decided supporter of Lord Derby's goveriantent.
110NIION.-I•he electors of this borough have to
decide bi tweets the claims of the two tree-trade candidates,
Sir W. Mega and Mr. Lucke, and a protectionist aspirant I
for senatorial honours in the person of Richard Sommers I
Gard, Ebq ,of 'Liege:mint Castle. Easter, who has a good
deal of prunerty in the borough, and consequently sonic I
little influence. A great drat of excitement prevails in the
town, the candidates having recess ly 'wenn, alously engaged
in canvassing the Oil tors. It is conlidentiy asserted that
the ',resent tut milers will he again re-eletted.
111G11 WSTOMBE is in a state of very great excite-
went—more so 'than usual in that quiet trirotaith. The
three c ibiliilates are Mr. M. T. Smith., s:r 0 11. llasls
wood, and Air. simpsiiii. Nu rent, undisguised tory has
yet ventured into the liehl, and to, re is no expectation of
soy such result. The mite: t will really he between Mr.
Smith and Mr. Simpson All those who vote for Mr.
Simpson will nlomo vote for Sir 0. Dashwoixl, who will, of
course, coinuianit many of the Abbey votes, as well as Wows
which ere intleiartilent.—.ly/esbory News.
LANCASHIRE (Notcrit).- -Mr. J. Wilson l'atten
has, itt a wry lengthened speech, announced his intention
of again hemming a candidate for the representation of this
division at the ensiling alit-ion. Ile is a conservative, but
in favour of fres trade, and has represented this division 1,4
six SIICC,SIite parliaments.
LURIA/W.-- Lord William Powlctt has istsued an
address, and is esiivassing the town us a moderate conserva-
tive. There is also a rumour all eat that the present con-
servative member, Mr. 11. ii. Clive, will retiri., and that
the eldest son of the lion. It. il. Clive will be put up for
the vacancy. This is the rumour, but how far it is collect
we arc unable to deteratine.—NhropsAire Chronicle.
LAUNCESTON.—AumitaI Bowles retires to make a
scat for Mr. Jocelyn Percy.
NoUTII NoUnIUMBEIMAND.—Accounts from all
parts of the division concur its assuring us that Sir George
Grey's canvass continues to be most successful. The two
tory !mils are fa, Irons prepossessing in their address.
Lord Ou,ulston, indeed, iv entirely speechless; and Lord
Lovaine is not (4,1 elated, either by his principles use his
manner, to conciliate the independent electors. We use
the word independent advisedly, for we are informed that
at no previous demi tttt Las every speciia of coer-
cion and intimidation been more unsparingly em-
ployed by tory lai.illords and their agents, those
too wellknown instruments of heartless tyranny.
We know how painfully some of that respectable class, the
tenant farmers, arc eirculustanced iu this respect; but they
must recollect that they have at this moment a distinct and
certain duty to discharge; end, if they suffer from giving an
Imm-stand independent vote,they will have the approbation of
their own consciences, sods right to the sympathy and good
offices of every liberal-minded Mal/ iu every party. Leery
North Northumberland election has been followed by the
accession of numerous converts to the ballot; and the pre-
sent proceedings will no doubt add to the number.—A ew-
castle. S'Arunicle. _ _

Esentt (says our correspondent) :I
is still holding meetings, and his speeches are listened to by
vast masse, of ( lectors and non. electors. Ile is supported
by the most extreme class of liberals and most of the dis-
senters. Mr. Collier is surrounded by a large malign rof
the personal friends of the family and liberal electors. Mr.
Drente has the countenance of the leaders and many of the
party by whom Lord Ebrington was supported at former
elections. Mr. Roundel' Palmer is encouraged and sup.
ported by the magnates of the old tory party and a great
number of personal friends and admirers. Mr. Charles
Mare is the man of the protestant ariti-Maynooth section of
the electors, awl the devotees of the commercial interest of
the port from all parties and shad( sof politics. What is to
be the result of this most strange medley it is impossible to
predicate.
ItornDALE.—No opposition has yet shown against
Mr. Miall, and as the linersls arc very united, he will pro-
bably be elected without opposition.
STOCK PORT.—Thcre will be a hard contest here.
Mr. James Kershaw, one of the present liberal members, is
unoptaused, but Mr. Heald, Derbvite, will have a thtticulty,
it is thought, to retain his seat against Mr. J. B. Smith, the
other free trader.

SAISOUD.—Mr. Joseph Btotherton's old anta-
gonist (Mr. li. Garnett) has " made no sign," and the re •
turn of the hon. gentlomen will probably be unopposed.
SOUTRAMPION.—A paper was taken round to all
the voters M the Ordnance dap-office, et Southampn.n, on
Friday, with a n quest from the heads a the department
that such as intended to vote fur the government .andidates
would put the let'er "U " opposite to their names! Of
course we cannot tell what is the exact meaning of this
move, hut, whatever it may be, only eight or nine "O's"
were obtained out of about sixty rotors. Much speculation
is afloat as to the meaning of this new method of canvassing.
—Hampshire Independent.

SOUTH DEvoX.—Tho report as to the elevation of
Sir John Yards Buller, Bart., M.l' , to the House of Lords
has been contradicted. Had this report been true no doubt
there would have been a contest in this division.

SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—The requisition to
the High Sheriff to call a county meeting having been pre-
sented to him on Wednesday last, that officer has fixed
Tuesday next, the 2fith lost„ at IlexCam, for the meeting.
It now therefore rests with the electors themselves to prose-
cute
the movement so auspiciously commenced. Mr. Beau-
mont will of course be proposed as one of our future repre-
sentatives. We cannot pretend to say ou whom the other
choice of the county meeting will fall, but we believe that
most suffrages seem likely to uuiu• in favour of George
Ridley, Esq., brother of Sir Matthew White Ridley,
Bart., a gentleman intimately connected with the
county, and well fitted to conciliate the votes of
all classes of the electors. \%e have authority to
state that Mr. Itidley's name will be proposed to
tho meeting, and we duubt nut that that gentleman, if
called on, will he prepared to take the field. As we trust
he may soon appear before the electors in his own person,
it would be presumptuous in us to otter any specific Mitte-
-1 meats as to the hon. gentleman's opinions, but we can
assure the liberal electors that they will be much more
open and decided than those of Mr. H. 0. Liddell, and
that in Mr. Ridley they will meet with a man in every
respect well fitted to represent them. Mr. Ridley inherits
the old constitutional opinions of his family, and is in un-
compromising advocate of freo trade, retrenchment, and
reform, although adverse to hasty or unnecessary legisla-
tion.—Neiceaslie Chronic e.

STAITORD.—The Staffordshire Atkerliser says :
—The declared candidates for this borough, already name-
mus, it appears have not yet reached their maximum. Mr.
C. Flint, the town clerk, published an address on Thur day,
stating that a letter from Mr. Urquhart had reached him,
announcing his intention of immediately placing himself in
the hands of the burgesses and electors "as the working
man's candidate as before ;" and on Friday Mr. Foils-
man hatted a handbill, announcing that as soon as the
dissolution of perliam'nt takes place, a gentleman
in every sense of the word will solicit the suffrages
of the burgesses and electors—a man of family and ho-
nour, which will ensure his performing what he undertakes,
and backed by connexions and position which will enable
him to accomplish your wishes and requests, either collec-
tively or iudividually—one who will advocate ' free trade'
to the letter—who will oppose every attempt to merge and
swsmp your birthrights and privileges by adding the neigh-
bouring towns to the constituency of this borough—who
will promote the amusements of the inhabitants at large—
and who will, to the utmost of his power, preserve the con-
stitution of his county inviolate from all the insidious
attacks made upon it." As none of the other candidates
have withdrawn their pretensions, but all seem determined
to stand their ground, the next election for Stafford pro-
mises to be one of the most extraordinary on record. Mr.
Wise, Mr. Otway, Mr. Bourne, and Mr. Philipps have
been in Stafford during the week, and Mr. Cook Evans
arrived on Friday.

SOUTH HANTA.—Our correspondent says, " The
two liberal and free trade candidates for South Hampshire
—Sir George Staunton ant! Mr. C. Brett—have announced
their intention of retiring from the contest."
SIIEFFIELD.—Mr. Roebuck has issued an address
to the electors, soliciting a renewal of their support. Ile
states that his principles arc unchanged, and briefly sets
forth the principal points in his political creed.
WALSALL.—Au opposition to Mr. Forster, the free
trade candidate, is talked of; an envoy from the "Carlton"
is said to be "coming down." Mr. iorster's return is be.
yond a doubt.

THE /ART GENERAL ELECTION —ln 1847, par-
liament was prorogued on Friday, July 23rd, and dissolved
by royal proclamation published in a supplement to the
(Mzelte of the s ime evening. Parliament was ordered to
assemble on the 214 ofSeptemher, 1817, hut was then ad-
journed, and did not meet till the 18th of November.
This year the prorogation is earlier by twenty-two days,
an.l the period of assembling again is shortened by the act
of this session, which substitutes thirty-five days for the
fifty days that were hitherto required to elapse between the
dissolution of the old and the assembling of the new parlia-
ment ; so that the writs for the election of the new parlia-
ment will he returnable about the .sth of August, but
the parliament will nut be called together before October.
