STAFFORD.

An event of an unusual kind here last night,
on the very eve of the election, which crested much confu-
sion and excitement, vu., the arrest, under some railway
liabilities, of Mr. ldeteyard, barrister, and one of the popu-
lar =dilates, who is now in the county gaol. About nine
o'clock another liberal candidate arrived in the person of
James Adam Gordon, Esq., who eAdreased the electors from
the Swan Hotel. The nomination took place yesterday.—
Mr. C. Wright, proposed, and Dr. Woburn seconded, the
Hon. Captain Carnegie. Mr. Griffin propoesd, and Mr
Turnock seconded, Mr. Alderman Sydney. Mr. J. Cooke
nominated, and Mr. Cooper seconded, David Urquhart,
Esq. Mr. John Lea was proposed by Mr. C. Bamford and
seconded by Mr. Hallden. Mr. Weaver proposed, and Mr
Helsel seconded, James Adam Gordon, Esq. All the can
didates addressed the electors at some length, and Mr.
Gordon declared himself a thorough free-trader. Jt was
dear that Mr. Urquhart was the popular candidate, and the
mayor declared the show of hands to be in favour of him and
Mr. Lea, although it was the common opinion that Alderman
Sydney had the second show. Captain Carnegie (the con.
sensitive) had the fewest hands held up in his favour. Much
amusement was created by the exhibidon of several cocks,
who crowed at each other from the hustings of the different
candidates, being placed in party-coloured cages. The
absence of the blue and yellow colours, which yester-
day paraded the streets for Metoyard, occasioned many
expressions of sympathy. Urquhart is said to be safe, and
the struggle will be between the alderman and the captain.

the slightest doubt is felt.
