THE ELECTION News or Taa PAINCITALITT is thee
even in the columns of the Welanisue and the Coneoreest
Herold CASJILLATNENINIIIIL—II is manned that Sir
John !Inset, Bart., and Mr. Hughes of Trees, are lilt*
'to some forward. It seems probable however, that
the hon. baronet may delay offering lined! as a can-
didate until a certain event take' plane. Mr. Hughes,
it is said, has been tolerably succesful in his reams
of the upper district, but we have not yet received
authentic information of that gentlemen's positive
'Mention to offer himself as a candidate. C THIN
Mr. Morris will walk the course. CIIIIDIGEN.—RIIINENIZ
stales that some gentleman on the conservative interests to
One Mr. Harford's place at the next election, to eosin the
seat with Mr. Pryse. It is thought to be either LordLiaberae,
who was talked of shortly after the late eseaset, or a
nephew of the late unsuccessful candidate. Them doss
not appear to be any very great alteration in the eon-
stiriency, so that if Mr. PM'''. friends all sinport him with
the same zeal as formerly, it is likely that the result may be
nearly the same as at the last contest, when Mr. Piro
was seated with a majority of 20. CAZDIOANIIIIIILL—
Colonel Powell will probably not be opposed nohow
Mr. Pryse should deem it more advisable to ddft
his battle ground from the boroughs to the meaty.
In this case Colonel Powell will probably loss his
seat, the dissenting interest being voryskeag la the county.
Pixenoirentaa.—Mach diandidesties lee been ex-
pressed towards the sitting niesalar (Theinnt Emlyn),
but we have not heard that any sae is prepared to take the
field against the noble lord. Yr. Philippe, of Willisauten,
has been talked of, but it is not probable that ho will e.
forward. Havre/omm arr.—Man Milipps, of Willlaaden,
has also been mentioned as a csaftliale sir these bereopfts •
but Sir Richard Philipps seems to Uneven his senedniong
satisiution' and will probably be renendwithoutegneitin,
unless Mr. John Evans, Q.C., shoed be pat is assaloadisa.
Pow saone.--Captain Child has declared his hoodoo of
again opposing
.Sir John Owen. Sir John best him by a
considerable majority at the last election. Since that time
some change has taken place in the constituency which may
possibly produce a different result at the next election. Cap-
tain Child, as senior Captain of the Pembrokeshire Militia,
was lately pealed over by Sir John, the Lord Lieutenant
of the country, who appointed *junior captain to the majo.
rity of the regiment. This will, no (lochs, add some little
personal feeling to the meal acrimony of a contested elec-
tion. OLANOSOAXIIIIIIII —We Lave not heard officially
that it is intended to disturb the pesos of Ode county
by opposing the sitting members, and, therefore, no great
err will be occasioned by the essuisi election. Swansea.—
Ls einem Mr. Vivian is all powerful. Throughout
Ihe Whatley boroughs the liberal party holds the predomi-
sane, so that it would be absolutely futile to attempt to
east Mr. Vivian. MIETIITIL—It has been said that Sir
J. Guest purposes withdrawing himself from the reorien-
tation of this borough, and offering himself either for the
county or for Honitos, in Devonshire • but we totally die.
credit the rumour. Should it prove trite, one of the Craw-
shays will probably attempt to obtain the representation of
Merthyr. Bancoxentue.—Mr. J. Bailey, it legitimised, will
be returned for this county, union the power and influence
of the new lord- lieutenant raise op • rival for the honour of

representing it in pediment. Biscox.—Then eannot be
the slightest doubt, we learn, of the complete triumph of
Mr. Vaughan Watkins, who has secered the golden opinions
of ail. Damoff.—lt to currently rumoured, and generally
credited here, that Mr. West, the son of the Hon. Frederick
West, will be returned without opposition fur the boroughs
at the next general election."

A SIIOCIDIO Dore Y RAILWAY OCCUITOd yesterday
morning, near Manchester. The express train from Preston,
over the North Union, was on its way to Manchester, near
twelve o'clock, when one of the massager', in booking from
a carriage window as they pared the Patricroft station, lost
his hat, and was foolish enongh to open the door and attempt
to leap after it. The result was that he pitched foremost
against the stone pavement of the platform, and his head
was literally dashed to atoms, and his brains scattered about
the spot. His name had not reached our correspondent, but
he was said to be an Waltman, and had got into the train I
at Wigan.

place lost evening. It began with May symphony in 0
minor, Op. 69; a work that is little oirn, and was now
(we believe) played for theJlret time at these concerts. It is
a fine corepodtion, in the broad, clear, aim* style of the
"father of symphony." The minuet and trio, which are
remarkably light and graeeful, was snowed. The other
symphony was Beethoven!! iss A, width has now become
quits familiar to the PMisrmaiNe andlance. Beethoven's
violin concerto was played by hosibise. the young violinist
who created so great a emmation when he was here four
years ago, when he was a boy of thirteen. Since then he
has acquired more strength of hand, and greater fullness of
tone ; and his whole performance of last night was a won.
derful display, not only of complete mastery of the instru-
ment, but of intelligence, feeling, and genius. As *violinist
he certain) y now has no superior. The overture. were
Weber's " Oberon," and Cherubini's " Le. Deux Journ4s."
The vocal music, as is too often the cans, was quite unworthy
of these concerts. The singer. were Madame Per-
siani and Signor Salvi, who favoured the audience
with same of the vapid trash they are in the habit of sing-
ing on the stage. The direeton seem to think it quite un-
aeons:try to take any pains about the vocal music. They con •
sides it stillicient to engage popular singers, and then to let
them rang whatever they please. We hold it to be their duty
not only to engage good singers but to take can that they
shall sing good music. If they don't think it worth their
while to do this, they had much better save the society's
funds, sad not have vocal music at all.
