ELECTION INTELLIOENCE..

unexpected withdrawal of Mr. Banner-
man has surprised and disappointed the constituency. Capt.
Fordyce, ofd Brucklay, is already in the field, but he is sure
to be oppose.
ANGLESEY DOHOUGHB.—Lieut..CoI. Paget, the present
liberal member, retires. Ile will, it is expected, be suc-
ceeded by Lord Geo.. Paget, son of the Marquis of Anglesey.
ANGLESEY COUNTS.--There is likely to be a contest for
this county, the sitting member, the Hon. W. 0. Stanley,
and Sir E. B. W. Bulieley, both standing on the liberal
inurest.
CARNAIIVONSHIRE.—The Hon. Col. Pennant is expected
to walk over the course. Mr. W. B. Hughes will again
i stand fee the boroughs.
CHESHIRE (None).—The liberal and free-trade party
have still hopes of finding a emend candidate as the col-
league of the Hon. E. J. Stanley, and it is rumoured that
as Mr. Davenport is prevented by ill health from standing,
Mr. Astley, of Dukintleld, will be put forward.
DUBLIN UNIVERSITT.—Mr. Whiteside has withdrawn
his pretensions to the representation of the university for the
present, and Mr. hi‘Cullegh, a fellow of the college, one of
the moat distinguisted mathematicians in Europe' is now a
declared eand.date on the liberal side. Mr. M'Cullsgh is a
whig. The friends of Mr. Shaw have, it is said, induced Mr.
Napier, a well-known barrister, to start, and the result of
this course will not improbably be—should Mr. Napier con-
sent to make a cat's-paw of himself—that the present mem-
bers will be again returned.
DENBIGHSHIRE Bottouotts.—The sitting member, Mr.
T. Mainwaring, retires, and Mr. J. LeWynne, jun., of Cued
Coch, has been actively engaged in canvassing the electors
on the conservative interest.
. . .

—Essex (Nownt).—A fourth candidate ie in the field in
lbe personal Mr. Fyske Harrison, of Copford Ball. He
comes forward as a conservative of moderate views. On
Saturday last he addressed a body of fanners, and others,
from the Cups balcony, in the high street, The Essex
Mercury says "It was upon the whole en extraordinary
scene. Mr. Harrison very composedly addressed the meet-
ing, frequently making long pauses to refer to his notes,
and occasionally taking a glass of wine or a sip of brandy
and water, with which he was abundantly supplied.
At one time he produced a thick volume, and, after
the lapse of several minutes, announced his intention
of reading a quotation from " Paley's Moral Philosophy.'
This was received with bursts of laughter, which, with a
constant succession of derisive shouts from the multitude,
constituted the remainder of the afternoon% diversion. Mr.
H. appeared without any supporters ; he hes received no
promises, will certainly obtain no votes, and, therefore, can-
not be returned."
FLINT BOROUGIIS.—Sir R. B. W. Bolkeley, Bart„ has
retired, and Sir John Manatee, the present M.P. for Hull,
has solicited their suffrages. No oppontion is anticipated.
FLINTANISE.—The on. E. M. Le Mostyn stands on the
liberal intmest, the letting member, Sir S. R. Glynne,
retiring.
HEREFORD.—Mr. Palsford has imam' aa address to the
electors of this city, intimating that, " as ill health has pre-
vented that assiduom attention to kis parliamentary duties
which the public welfare is yearly more urgently requiring,
he feels that he will beet fulfil his own sense of public duty
by decleaing his determination of retiring from the repte-
imitation." Upon this Mr. George Clive, son of the late
Mr. E. B. Clive, formerly member for Hereford, has jut
issued en address soliciting the suffrages of the electors, as
Mr. Pulsford's successor. He declares himself a supporter
of *the present ministry.
.LANCASIIIRE (Hoarse).-1Y was expected that the sitting
members for this division of Lancashire (Mr. Wilson Patten
and Mr. Talbot Clifton) would be returned again without
opposition; a liberal candidate is now spolinn of, however,
in the person of Mr. Grenfcll, es a colleague for Mr. Wilson
Patten.
LivErsffoot..—The Liverpool 'Times of yesterday states
that " the parties who have driven Lard Sandra from
the representation of Liverpool, have decided, by a large
majority, to bring forward Sir Digby Mackworth, and
Sir Howard Douglas, es the two " protestant " candi-
dates, at the approaching election. Al the same time
they paid Mr. Cardwell the high compliment of reject-
ing him as a can6idate, partly on amount of the
general liberality of Mc views, but chiefly because be had
positively refused to bind himself by any pledges. There
is net the best doubt of the readiness of Sir Digby Mack-
worth to stand, and those who have nonnosted lair
Howard Douglas soma also to calenlide confidently on
inducing hint to withdraw hie resignation. Whilst the
ultra-tones have rejected Mr. Cardwell as a candidata, the
liberal conservatives have prepared a requisition to that gen-
denten, which has already received the names of the lead-
ing members of that party. As Sir Thos. Birch ie already
in the field en the liberal interest, we are thus pretty certain
of having four candidates, whilst, if Lord John Manners is '
broeght forward, we "ball have five.
Cory or Lot/Dors.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of
members of the Liberal Reg:Amnon Association was held is
the large room of the London Tavern, which was densely
crowded. The chair was taken by H. Forster, Esq., M.
The meeting was called by the committeg in order that font
liberal candidates should be immediately nominated force.
preventatives of the City of London it the ensuing election.
The committee, in their report, stated that they were es.
shied to say that there were at the present time, 8,109 likend
electors in the City .of London, and 6,220 conservatives;
thereby leaving, in favour of the liberal interest, a oteeseity
of 1,1.89. The liberal party were in a condition to Mors
four members, and they were authorised to report that Lena
John Russell and Mr. 'Pattie:on intend to offer themselves he
re-election. The otheetwo candidates the committee wiehed
to he returned were Sir George Larpent and Baron Lionel
Rothschild.
Mr. Idircnnu„ M.P., in an appropriate speech. moved
the first resolution. He eongratalated the meeting on the
cheering prospects of a majority of nearly 2.000 for the
liberal cause at the next election in the City. The election
for the metropolis was mandated, not only from its own in.
portance, but from the early period at which it took pleas
after the dissolution of parliament, to exercise a meet far
portant influence en the other constituencies of the Ida,
dam ; and London would not only neglect its min
but set a mast injurious .sample by cementing. tell
suck a majority, to any compromise of its raposeanta-
tion. He was aware that some of their friends were
rather unfriendly to a contest—partly en aroma of
the general languor of polities, and partly from feel- I
My of personal respect to one of their present mowksts,
Mr. Masterman. He shared these feelings of pormed a.
meet meet cordially. He admitted that Mr. Mastemaa hal

neatest had been forced upon them, another gentleman
having started for the City, of whom claims to represent them
in parliament he was totally ignorant, wilds the mere feet
of being an alderman ambhaving given a certain number of
dinners when Lord Msygroendered him a fit and proper re-
presentative of the city of London. (A laugh 1. After
briefly reviewing the defies of the four candidata, he con-
cluded by moving the first ',solution :

Memo of
Kr. H. 43. Ps liters having seconded the resolution, it
was carried.
[Two gentlemen (Mr. S. Morley and Mr. G. Simmonds)
in the body of the meeting loudly protested ninon what
they called Lord John Ruesell's " wanton departure from the
principles of civil and religious liberty " in the recent mea-
sures of his government relative to education ; while another
gentleman (Mr. J. Anderton) maintained, with more gene.
ral sympathy, that if there was one thing more than another
which entitled Lord John Russell and his government to
the gratitude and support of the people of England, it was
the course they had taken to supply their poorest fellow-
subjects with the means of eduction. He added, that he
had reason to believe, if the church had not so readily given
their support to the government, the dissenters would have
assisted them in carrying out their plans. It was opposition
to the church that had dictated the anti-educational move-
ment of the dissenters.]
Mr. T. HARKEY moved the next resolution :
That this meeting learns with satisfatfan the determination of
Lard John Rumen and Mr. J. Pattieon each to solicit the suffrages of
the electors of London, receive with eadial aceeptarim the address of
sir G. Lament, and hereby binge noron Lionel Rotheebild to present
himself's. a fourth candidate, aeconng him of their sincere goodwill,
and that their best exertions will be devoted to smote his return ae
their representative in parliament.
Mr. P. A. TAYLOR seconded the resolution. The politi-
cal opinions of the three first of the liberal candidates were,
he had no doubt, already well known to the electors; them
of the fourth candidate, 'amen Lionel Rothschild, might not
be eo generally known, but they were decidedly liberal.
(Cheers.) The manner in which the present assembly had
received the name of that gentleman at the commencement
of the proceedings showed that in their opinion the time was
come when some constituency in England- and what body
so fit as the city of London I—should, by electing
him as their representative, lay the axe to the root of the
tree of intolerant prejudice—(cheers)—and declare that
henceforth no man should be disqualified to serve his fellow
citizens on account of his religious opiuions. (Cheers.) The
city of London would have cause to be proud when they In-
troduced into the Commons house of parliament the first
Jewish gentleman who had yet sat there. (Cheers.) They
migh- not all believe, according to the published opinions of
a literary gentleman and a icgclator of the present day, that
in the Hebrew blood resided all that was good and great in
the human species-4a laugh)—but they were at least pro.
puled to say, that because a gentleman belonged. to that
ancient race lie should not be disqualified to be their repre-
sentative. (Laud cheers.)
The two new candidates having entered the room amidst
loud cheers,
Sir 0. DE H. LARPENT briefly addressed the meeting. He
mended the invitation of that most respectable meeting
with the greatest gratification and pleasure. He assured
them, if elected one of their representatives, his great ob-
ject would be, as a mercantile member, to promote, the
trade and commerce of the city of London, to prevent the
re-establishment of any protective duties, to settle the great
question of the navigation lame, and to reconstruct the
tariff upon the soundest principles of commercial legislation.
Upon all political questions he was quite ready to explain his
views' to the electors ' • end with respect to religious matters,
