ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BIRMINOWAN4.-Mr. Monte, on Saturday, republished the
address which he issued to the electors in 1840. Judging
from this document, it would appear that at that time, at
least, he did not contemplate the moat distant alliance with
a tory of so old a school as Mr. Spooner.
City or LONDON.—In the Morning Herold of Saturday
the following spasmodic paragraph was put forth at a leader
" We are happy to be able to announce, Oat within the
next few hours, at least one, and probably two, new candi-
dates, of the highest commercial standing, will be an-
nounced, on the conservative interest, f6r the city of
London." So far aa we could ascertain, our contemporary
was not made " happy" during the day by a verification of
the announcement.

Coini.—The local papen announce that, on Friday, at 4
p.m., Dr. Power had a majority of 281 on the gross poll.
The numbers polled respectively were—For Mr. Leader,
5,a0; for Dr. Power, 831. It was stated, notwithstazding
these proportions upon the third day of polling would indi-
cate but little prospect of success on Mr. Leader's part, that
he would poll to the last moment, but no one imag no;
he can possibly be returned. Ile, however, subsequently
resigned the contest. There is one circumstance mentioned
in these journals, as characteristic of this election, which is
not less creditable than unusual in tinnier cases in this
country there has not occurred one single act of violence or
riot. This silent determination of the electors in rejecting
the nominee of the landlords, for so Mr. Leader on the hust-
ings described himself, is a fact, the significance of which no
mtnister can safely overlook. " Tenant right," says our cor-
respondent, " much more than repeal has worsted Mr.
Leader and the landlords of Cork."
DINNTWIOII.—This borough is to he contested by Cynru
Lloyd, Esq., who opposes the re-election of Sir J. Pakington
DUNDALK.—Mr. MacTavish, as I already have informed
you, will offer himself for Dundalk. He has already can-
vassed the constituency, in company with Mr. Maurice
O'Connell, with some success. Notwithstanding, be will
hardly succeed without a contest. Lord Jocelyn has in-
fluence. and those who find their interest in a contest will
not be slow to encourage him, fer though his lordship is be-
lieved not wealthy, Mr. MacTaviah is.
HADDINOTON HPRORS.—CameI-like Sir J. W. Drum-
mond has retired from the field as abruptly as he entered it.
Sir H. R. F. Davis haying driven two opponents from the
ground, may surely now deem himself secure.
LEITRIM.--Lord Clements will not be opposed in this
county. Mr. Godley and Mr. Tennyson will go to a poll.
The former is of that class of men now designated in Ireland
conservative nationalists." No interpretation for the term
is given. Mr. Tennyson is a whig he will rally the popular
party round him.
Mosvaose BURGII6.—No lees than three opponents to
Mr. Hume are rpoken of.
MONAGNA.N.—Mr. Shirley will not offer himself again to
the constituency. Matters are here fast approaching that
arrangement mentioned in this paper long since, namely,
that the Hon. T. Veny Dawson would probably be returned
for this county in place of one of the present tory members.
PORTAILLINOTON.—" An Elector " of this borough, in a
letter to a local paper, hints that ejectments cannot be served
on any of Lord Portarlington'a tenantry without Col. Daw-
son Damer's consent. Notwithstanding this announcement
there will be a contest.
QUEEN'S COrrlTT.—The ultras of this county talk of Mr.
Busfield Ferrand, but that enemy to poor-law commissioners
will bad no resting place in Ireland. Mr. Fitzpatrick will be
returned certainly.
READINO,—Mr. Serjeant Talfourd has issued an address,
offering himself, for the third time, as a candidate. He says:
I refer to my past conduct an the best areurance I can glee of the
future; bat on one question of eolemo interest to the Christian world,
the propriety of endowing the priesthood of the Roman cathoile
church, I feel it right to volunteer a die:inct avowal To that ens-
nare, and to all others which may tend to weaken the security of the
protestant faith, I shall offer my most strenuous opposition, from
whatever party they may proceed.
ST. A SlattneB Butane.—" If Mr. Ellice stands for the
county (says a local authority), te Provost of St. Andrew's
may become a candidate for the burghs." Yes, " if" Mr.
Ellice chooses to give up certainty for hope.
STAFFORD.—The celebrated " pot-wallopers" of this noto-
rious borough are in fine feather for the approaching elec-
tion. There are now ne less than seven candidates an the
field. Capt. Carnegie will in all probability be re-elected.
The other seat will be sharply fought for; but Mr. Ald.
Sidney, of London, and a native of the borough, is the
favourite. Mr. Urquhart (the rejected of Sheffield) is one
of the candidates. •

TZWIMBIIRY.—There will be a contest here. Amongst
the candidates we notice Mr. Humphrey Brown, who wee
a few years ago superintendent of (we believe) the goods
traffic department on the Birmingham and Gloucester
railway.
Woaccerea.—Bir Denis Le Merchant retires from the
representation of the " faithful city." The announcement
of this purpose by the hon. baronet has taken all partite by
surprise. Mr. Osman Ricardo, who contested Kidderminster
in 1841 with Mr. Godson, has been named 'as his successor;
but Mr. G. R. Robinson, the chairman o? Lloyd's. being
first in the field, will probably be found to stand A 1.
