ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

AYRANIIII.—Mr. o‘wald his addressed the electors—no
opposition.
NEWDLEY AND STOClPORT.—]tatters are drawing to a
crisis in regard to the representation of these boroughs, and
there is now no longer any doubt that the contest will be
close between the two parties—Sir T. Winnington, the pre-
sent member, on the side of the whigs, and Mr. Ireland, the
conservative.

BRADFORD.-All parties are busy here. The requisitions
to Mr. Ciathorne Hardy and Mr. Henry W. Wickham have
been presented, and both hove complied, and issued their
addresses. The friends of Bus6eld and Thompson are
actively prosecuting their =YAW, and are very sanguine of
success.

Bayou.Er.—Mr. Townley and Sir Isaac Lyon Goldstnid
are yet the only candidates ; but the " Protestant Electors
Society" are preparing for a contest, and promise that two
conservative candidates shell be forthcoming.
C -"ay.—Oa Monday, some excitement was caused
in this city, by the announcement that two conservative candi-
dates had at last been found to contest the representation of
Canterbury with the present sitting membi vs. In the course
of the day addresses were published from Thomas Pelham
Clinton, • son of the Duke of Newcastle, of boroughtnonger-
ing notoriety, and a Mr. John 'Vance, who describes him-
self as a merchant, and dates from the " Wyndham Club."
No Popery is the theme of these addresses. Lord Conyng-
ham's friends, for his lordship is unfortunately indisposed,
are active in his behalf, and Mr. Sut7the prosecutes his
canvass, it is said, with great success.—bent Herald.
CHICLE ESTER.—Mr. John Abel Smith (liberal), and Lord
H. Lennox (tory), solicit re-election. No opposition.
DUOITWICII.—Sir J. Putthigton, the present member, and
candidate for re-election, having just completed his canvass,
has inutd a second address, thanking the electors for the
kind reception which be has experienced at their hands, and
stating that he anticipates with perfect confidence a tri-
umphitnt result, should his opponent go to a poll. After
stating that he is convinced that his opponent has no reason-
able chance of success, Sir John adds—" I hole, therefore,
as I believe Mr. Lloyd to entertain the most fair Intention in
this respect, that the borough may still he spared the excite-
ment and disturbance of a contested election."

Dvamew, NORTR.—The owners of Hetton colliery, who
arc principally triage, and very influential, have decided on
firing their entire support to Mr. Shaft* and Lord Sealant.
Mr. Shafto is now engaged in canvassing the rural electors,
having concluded his canvass of the large towns. He is
generally considered to be safe. A correspondent says:
" There is not the least chance of a ooalition between the
liberal candidates, and therefore not any probability that
Colonel Beckwith can be returned."

-------
DUNDALK 1., it would appear, threatened with a third
candidate. Hein not yet named, but will be, of course, a
conservative. He probably calculates that he might, be-
tween repealer' and whigs contending, carry off the prize.
EDINBUROH.—Mesers. Macaulay and Basun Craig have
issued their addresses. Opposition is again seriously talked
of, and most probably...one opposition candidate will be
brought forward. A 4; nter rvfonner would poll double
the number that Sir Culling Smith did.
Emir Lornis.n.—Mr. Charters, although canvassing
well, seems chary in speech, and this is rather giving Sir D.
Baird the advantage. Some hundred and fifty are un-
pledged, and in their hands lies the issue.
(hot cesrea, CITY.—The general canvass has been com-
pleted in this city, and Mr. W. P. Price, the radical candi-
date, expresses a firm determination to go to the poll.
KINSALII.-11r. Robert Lunell Butanes, the emineat
brewer of Dublin, has addressed this constituency. Mr.
Claimants is a conservative. Mr. Watson will certainly have
to stand a contest. _

KIRRALDY BUROHS.—Mr. Ferguson has issued his cir-
cular—no opposition.
KILERNNY COVNTY.-11r. Smithwiek, who was elected
for this county on the death of Col. Butler, has withdrawn ;
there are, therefore, only four candidates in the field for two
seau. All the candidates are repealers.
LANCASHIRE (NORTH).—Mr. C. Townley is to stand for
this dirision.

Leans.—Mr. Sturge has returned to Leeds, and has re.
sumed his canvass by means of aggregate evening meetings.
Other arrangements with regard to the forthcoming election
have been made by his committee, which seem to manifest a
determination to win, if possible. All parties agree that Mr.
Beckett is to head the poll, but it seem, uncertain whether
Mr. Marshall or Mr Sturge is to have the second place.
LIM/HICK Coheir.—Mr. MOOIKU, a prominent member
of " the Irish party," and at present of " the Irish
council," is canvassing this county. Mr. Monsell is a con-
servathe of great local iofitience and popularity, and would
stand not a bad chance of his return.
Loinalca (Cirv).—They talk of inviting Sir Matthew
Barrington, the eminent solicitor, to stand for Limerick.
Sir Matthew, who long filled the office of crown solicitor for
Munster, has, through his whole career, been a consistent
whig. He is a native of, and has numerous connections in,
Limerick.

---...._.
LEITH Buzions.—A placard has been prated, stating that
a liberal candidate will be started in opposition to the Lord
Advocate.

Lrtor.—lt is probable that Lord Geo. Sentinels and Lord
Jocelyn, conservatives, will walk over the course unopposed.
The liberals, however, have, too, an eye on Sir W. B. Folks.,
of Millington, but have not prevailed on his. to come forward.
LVDLOW.—Mr. Botfield and Mr. Clive (conservatives)
have each addressed the electors a second time, on completing
their canvass. Both are sanguine, as also is the liberal candi-
date, Col. Salwey.

CITT or LONDON.—A meeting, which was attended by
about 2,000 persons, was held last evening at the Eastern
Institution Commercial road, in order to express ea opinion
with regard to the liberal candidates for the City. Mr.
Lawrence having taken the chair, Baron L. de Rothschild
entered into a statement of his political opinions, which he
reiterated as on former occasions. He bad not as yet said
anything with regard to his opponents for the representation
of the city, but he would do so then for tko het tee. Mr.
Bevan had on the previous day alluded Pt bin (Bern de
Rothschild) as the " foreign baron." Now he believed
that his opinions ware very foreign to then of Mr.
Boman, and, indeed, differed totally from them; for
on the same occasioe that gentlemen bed ebooned

MONNOUTHSI4IIIS, like West Gloucestershire, bra gained
an unenviable notoriety by the existence of a " family quer-
rel." " Thirty-one years have elapsed," mays Lord Granville
Somenet„ " since I first offered myself as a candidate to
represent you in parliament; and on thirteen different coca-
, &ions I have had the honour of receiving your suffragn."
The electors, especially those under the command of the
Duke of Beaufort, who has great influence, received an inti-
mation, after the peeping of the free trade measures of last
year, that • " nominee," in the person of Capt. Edward
Somerset, was to be brought forward in opposition to Lord
Granville Somerset. The latter gentleman says, "The
alteration in the Cent-laws was not hastily, but after anzious
and serious consideration, promoted by me; and when I was
convinced that a necessity fur such a change bad arisen, I
withstood menaces of no ordinary nature ;" and !train, " I
have sacrificed my prejudices and altered my opinions, when
my judgment convinced me that the *Ware of the British
empire required such a sacrifice and such a change." A
very strong feeling exists in favour of Lord G. Somerset.
biatoox.—Lord Milton being a candidate for Wicklow
county, a vacancy will be occasioned here. Our correspon-
dent writes from this borough. " We do not yet know who
will be sent tow u a candidate," to succeed the heir of
Wentworth.

Mitto.—Mr. Valentine O'Conor Blake has, as we antici-
pated some days since, addressed the electors of this county.
hlr. Blake has great respectability of character and local
connexions. As he will probably coalesce wish Mr. Robert
D. Browne, Mr. Moore's defeat a second time is not un-
likely.
NORVOLX, Wear —The canvass in this division of the
county is completed. The Hon. E. Coke, in conjunction
with Mr. A. Hamond of Westacre. speaks with confidence of
"triumphing on the day of trial ;" and Messrs. Bagge and
L'Estrange, conservatives, talk of being equally successful
"if promises are kept." The latter, however, offered a
compromise, taking Bagge and Coke an offer which the
liberals rejected.
NORFOLK, EAST.—Mr. Edmond Wodehonse and Mr. H.
N. Burroughes, the sitting members, have at present no
opponents in the field. They are both conservatives. There
was some expectation that Mr. W. H. Windham, of Fel-
brigg, with Sir J. P. Boileau, Bart, of Ketterinaham,woeld
come forward in the liberal interest, but no addresses have
at present appeared.
NOItWICH.—A contest is anticipated, the candidates being
the Marquis of Douro, Mr. Pets, the railway contractor, and
Mr. J. H. Parry, a barrister. A correspondent says: " The
opposition is against Mr. Peto, he having disappointed his
friends, the dissenters, who first br,ught him into the field,
because he will not go all their length with regard to the
education question, and is not disposed to vote for an imme-
diate separation of church and state. They have, therefore.
cast him overboard, and have brought down Mr. Parry, who
promises everything they ask."
NOUTRALLERTON.— The only candidate for this borough
is the present sitting member, Mr. W. B. Wrightson. No
movement has yet been made by his, but he is daily ex-
pected to pay his respects to his constituents.
PLYMOUTL—This borough is likely to be contested by
five candidates. Lord Ebrington, Mr. Calmady, and Mr.
Crowder, have been canvassing; but the split in the camp is
taken advantage of by the conservatives, and they have
brought forward (as we stated yesterday) Mr. Palmer,
nephew of Mr. Horsley Palmer, who met the elerto.a on
Tuesday, and avowed himself a moderate conservative. A
Mr. Willeocks was to meet the electors on Wednesday, under
the auspices of the chartisa and a section of the dissenters,
as a suitable colleague for Mr. Calmady. In well informed
quarters Lord Ebrington is said to be safe; and the fight
will be between Crowder and Palmer.

Ittrox.--The lion. Edwin Lamella seeks re-election. Sir
G. Cockburn retires. It is probable that the influence under
which Sir J. Graham appears will secure his election, al-
though his " Peelism " makes him obnoxious to many of
the electors.

RICHMOND.—The Hon. J. C, Dundaa takes leave of his
constituents in this borough. Mr. H. Rich again comes for-
ward. Mr. M. Wyvill, jun. has issued an address soliciting
the suffrages of the electors. He is yet unknown in public
life, but is the grandson of the Rev. Christopher Wyvill, one
of the earliest advocates for reform in parliament, ant the
son of Marmaduke Wyvill, Esq., formerly member for York.
Both he and Mr. Rich arc pletiged to support the govern-
meet plan of education. Mr. Wyvill promises his general
support to government, and is an advocate for free-trade.
Having the Zetland interest in their favour, both these can-
didates are sore of their election.

Rziosrs.—Lord Esstnor, the present member, who is re-
siding at Nice, has declared his resolution net to come for-
ward at the ensuing election, on account of ill health. Mr.
T. Cocks, jun. has, in consequence, offered himself on
the conservative, and Captain Punnet on the liberal, interest.
Sussex, WEST.—The Earl of March and Mr. Prime (con-
servatives) solicit re-election. No opposition is expected.
SCARBOIIOI,OII.—Sir John Johnstone ((son-in-law of the
Archbishop of York) and the Earl of M, ve remain in
undisturbed peseemion of the field, no conservative candidate
being found as a successor to Sir F. Trench.
TYNEMOUTII. —No opposition has yet been organised
against the return of Mr. Grey, Private Secretary to Lord
John Russell. Mr. Grey will not cement to the repeal of
the navigation laws, which has partly disarmed opposition to
his election, and it is probable he will now have a walk over.
TnIRSIC.—Mr. John Bell again offers himself for his native
town, and no opposition is expected to his re-election.
WOROISTEIUILIIISE (EAST).--Capt.Rushout in again is the
field: Mr. B. Foley is a candidate.
Weurtar.—Mr. Robert Stephenson, C.E., is generally
supported in this borough by men of all parties. Ida comes
under the influence of Mr. Hudson, and will be of his school
of politics.
WAIAIALL.—A meeting of the liberal electors took piaos
on Wednesday ; resolutions were passed pledging the meet-
ing_to exert itself to secure the return of bit. Forster.
YOILKSRISII (NORTH lienitto).—The Hon. 0. Buncombe
and Mr. E. S. Colley have both addreand their constituents,
soliciting a renewal of their confidence. No opposition is
anticipated.
YOILISHIII.II (EAST RIDINO).—Lord Hothant mad Mr.
H. Breadley are again in the field as conservative candi-
dates ; and their re-election appears certain.
Yours (Ctrs).—Sir J. R. Lowther retires from the repre-
sentation of York, and the conservatives have adopted as
their candidate Mr. J. G. Smyth, of Heath Hall. Mr.
Yorke, the liberal candidate, solicits re-election. A party of
the " free and independent" electors are getting up a regal-
sition to the Hon. E. Petre, best that gentleman having
twice contested the city at an immense coat, will not again
be had.

SCOTLAND,
lorantem, Juiv 21.
A social feature in railways Las been opened up on
the banks of the Tay. On the Perth and Dundee,
and Dundee and Arbroath lines, composition tickets
may now be had for one, three, six, or twelve months ;
children attending schools being carried at half the
rates charged for adults. This innovation will go far
to economize the expense of country residence, and so
relieve the plethora of towns.
An octogenarian reformer has been removed from
the community, by the death of Mr. William Moffatt,
an Edinburgh solicitor, who acted as agent for the
Scotch martyrs, Muir, Palmer, and Slurring. The
old man lived to see the finish to their monument, in
the chiselling of the inscription on the pedestal, which
followed at some interval after the completion of the
mason work.
Although the subject is too uncertain to dogmatise
on, it is worthy of notice that last year few flowers
were to be seen on the potatoes ; this year they are
plentiful.
