THE REPRESENTATION OF BRIGHTON.

(PROW OOR OWN COARZSPONDENt).

The political "situation" at Brighton just now
is rather interesting. Mr. Coningham's iutcotion to accept
the Chiltern Hundreds has been known for some two month.
past. On its first announcement Mr. Francis Kuper DUMAS,
a Loudon merchant, issued an address to the electors.
Soon afterwards Mr. Henry Moor, a resident conservative
gentleman, who was defeated at the last election, an.
nouoced that "at the proper time" he would again solicit
the suffrages of the electors. Some three weeks ago, Mr.
Coningham advertised his intended retirement, and the
active proceedings to fill up the vacancy at once
commenced. A public meeting was called in the liberal
interest and • committee was chosen to meet the liberal cao-
didata who offered themselves for the seat, and to report to
another meeting on the qualifications of the several gentle.
men. That meeting was called, bat was nothing more then
a scene of di graceful uproar. The report of the committee
named four liberal candidates, sad placed them in the order
whichfollows Mr. Otway was given the first place. Mr.
J. Goldsmid, son of Mr. Fredk. Goldsmid, who was defeatsd
at the last election, and nephew of Sir F. Goldsmid,
for Reading, was placed mooed. Mr. Fawcett, the Praia-
eor of Political Economy at Cambridge, was placed third,
and Mr. Dumas, who would not submit to the committee,
was barely mentioned. It was Mr. Dumas, however, who
was chosen as the beet candidate by the adjourned meeting,
which did not even receive the report of the committee.
Next morning Mr. Fawcett declared hi. intention of going
oa with his candidature, and Mr. Otway immediately
retired, in order to prevent a liberal split. Mr.
Julian Goldsmid, however, acting on the preference
of the committee, also issued an address, while Mr. Dumas
co tinned to maintain his position. Subsequently, Mr.
Edward Harper presented himself on "true protestant
principles" as • protestant candidate, whose aim io the
House of Commons would be to resist the increasing " ag.
gression of Popery.* Thu. them are now five candidate.
to the field for the meant seat. On the liberal aide, the
chief contest will lie between Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Gold-
amid. Both than gentleman had written to the liberal
committee pledging themselves to abide by its decision.
Mr. Goldsmid says he is bound to go on in
consequence of that pledge, and his supporters upbraid
Mr. Fawcett with • breach of his word io not immediately
retiring when he toned the report of the committee against
him. Mr. Fawcett i•dignsnUy repudiates the imputation,
and it is argued oa his behalf that all such promises were
absolved by the rejection of the repast, and the consequent
death of the committee. It is also urged against him that
his physical affliction would disqualify him for the active
duties of parliament. This objection, however, has been
much weakened by Mr. Coningham, the en-member, having
joined Mr. Fawcett's committee, sod by Mr. White, the
present acting representative, having stated that he coo-
eiders blindness as disqualification for the House of Com-
mons. Mr. Goldsmid yet remsios • formidable opponent.
He has enlisted thirteen of the liberal committee on his
side out of the twenty members who acted, while Mr.
Fawcett only cants five io his ranks. the local influence
of Mr. Goldsmid is also strongly in his favour. As it is per-
fectly clear, that if the liberal disunion continues,
Mr. Moor, the conservative, will get the meet. effort. are
being made to effect • oompromisa. A suggestion came
from the Hon. H. Brand, through Mr. J. White, that a
ballot of the liberal electors should be taken, and that the
other candidates should retire in favour of the one having
the greatest number of votes. Mr. Acland, the agent for
Mr. Damao, demands that all the electors should be
included, and as this would werk for the advaatage of the
conservatives, there seems no likelihood of any arrangement
being adopted. The nomination takes place on Saturday,
ad the polling un the soccer ling Monday. All the caadi-
dates pledge themselves to go to the poll.
