member, has met his general committee at Durham. Col.
, Beckwith has nearly completed his general morass, which
is mid to have been unexpectedly succeestal, and Mr. Shafto

fluence of the Marquis of Londonderry will, it is now under-
stood, be given *gaunt Mr. Liddell; but all the members of
the Conservative Society, founded under his lordship's
patronage, will give him their active support.
DCBLIN UNIVERSITT.—Professor M'Cullagh El pushing
forward his claims with earnestness and success. Among the
many friends who have come forward with their support is a
name not undistinguished in our own university or in the
literature of England—Dr. M. Cooke Taylor.
DUBLIN CITT.—Up to this moment it is more than doubt-

GLOUCESTER Ctry.—Mr. Price, of Tibberton Court, has
accepted the invitation of the electors to come forward to
succeed Mr. Philippa.
DALITAI.—We have now five candidates in the field,
offering the electors every variety of choice. The respective
friends of each party have been assiduously canvassing the

town during the week, but with what relative success pen
baps nothing but the poll booth may publish. The addre
of Mr. Ernest Jones was placarded in the town oa Tuesday •
but that of Mr. Miall is not yet issued.
HCLL.—We are informed that Sir James Graham has
withdrawn his pretensions to the representation of this
' borough.
conservatives of this county meditate •
mooed candidate with Mr. Herbert, to eject M. J. O'Con-
nell. They rely on the diserdercd state of the registry, but
their hopes of success would prove slight. Mr. Herbert
would combine his strength with M. J. O'Connell, which
would defeat any other combination.
MARTLIBONIL—Lest evening a great public meeting of the
electors of the borough of Marylebone took place at the
Marylebone Theatre, in Church-street, Portman-market, for
the purpose of hearing the political sentiments of Mr. Daniel
Whittle Harvey, as a candidate to represent the borough in
parliament. The Chairman having opened the business of the
evening, Mr. D. W. Reeves- came forward to address the vast
assembly, and was again received with the must tremendous
cheering, which lasted for several minutes. The applause
having subsided, Mr. Harvey said this was the fourth meet-
ing of the electors of Marylebone he had had the honour of
addressing, and the more be was amongst them the more
he was convinced that he possessed the feeling of the vast ma-
jority of the reformers of the borough his (meet (Cteen.)
Although he had been out of parliament for seven years, the
reception he (Mr. Harvey) had met with that evening, and
from the electors of Marylebone generally, showed that his
past parliamentary services in behalf of the people were not
forgotten. (Hear, bear.) Ho was aware that they had
a noble lord 'before the borough—(" Oh, oh," and laughter)
—but he (Mr. Harvey) thought, in the first place, if the
people wished to preserve a proper balance of power in
their own hands, they would not select a men who wag
likely to give to the House of Peers a double representation.
(Hear, hear.) The time had arrived when the people of
this country should no longer submit to be represented by
the nominees of territorial aristocrats, but by men who would
be representatives of the intelligence and industry of the
people. (Cheers.) It was not to be expected that a great
borough like that could either be allowed to be made a school
for politics or a college for political conversions. (Hear,
hear.) It ought rather to be made a reward for those whose
parliamentary career rendered promises unnecessary, and
their acts above suspicion—for those who had stood up for
the rights of the people, and who had advocated the principles
of reform, when to do so we/twitch rod to suffer persecution.
(Hear, hear.) It was to the record of past times that he
(Mr. Harvey) would refer the electors of Marylebonc for his
character. (Cheers.) He had himself recently referred to
the old musty records of Hansard, and amongst the entire
stock there was not a single vote or speech that he would
wish for one moment to retract or modify. (Hear.) There
was no one could ever charge him with having given a single
vote adverse to the interests of the people, or with having
shard his conduct in the House of Commons for his own
individual interest. (Hear, bear.) He (Mr. Harvey) was
the only man who dared in the House of Commons to oppose
the pension to the widow of Canning, notwithstanding his
' transcendent abilities, because all his acts had been adverse
to the interests of the people, as exhibited in the Manchester
massacre. (Cheers.) He also opposed the grant of 10,0001.
to the Duke of York for supporting his own father.
(Cheers.) He had laid the foundation of the destruction
of the pension list, which, instead of being swallowed up by
the undeserving aristocracy, was cow being distributed
amongst such deserving persons as the poet Hood'. widow
and family, the widow of that light of Christianity, Dr. Chal-
mers, and Father Mathew. (Cheers.) With respect to the
claims of the various candidates before the borough, Sr B.
Hall, the present member, was well known to them. (Cheers.)
, With regard to Serjeant Shea, all that could he said against
him was that he was an untried man, and that a borough
like Marylebone ought to be represented by a tried man.
, (Cheers.) With regard to Lord Dudley Stuart, it would
• have been well for him if he had been squally untried
with the learned serjeant. (Hear, hear.) Whilst in
the House of Commons the noble lord had proved him-
, self a very backsliding reformer. (Hear, hear.) Had
such men as Joseph Hume or George Grote, both residents
• of the borough, been before the electors, he (Mr. Harvey)
would not have appeared before the borough; but in the
r absence of such men, and when a gentleman who had no
. parliamentary conduct to refer to, and a noble lord whose
parliamentary conduct as a reformer would not bear the
light of day, were the only candidates, he (Mr. Harvey) felt
he had a far greater claim on their support. (Loud avers)
I The hon. candidate then declared himself a supporter of ens-
, versal suffrage, of the vote by ballot, of triennial parliaments.
a decided enemy to centralization, but at the same time en
, advocate for responsibility. With regard to the church, he
was desirous of teeing the funds properly distributed, and the
r poor hard-working curate properly paid out of the enormous
revenues of the bishops and sinecurists. (Cheers.) After
further referring to his parliamentary conduct. Mr. Harvey
proceeded to detail the persecution he had suffered in a clause
being introduced by parliament to disqualify him, as polio.
commissioner, from sitting in the House of Commons. He
came before the borough a free man bound in fetters, and he
asked the men of Marylebone to strike his fetters off.
(Cheers, and" We will.") The hon. gentleman at much
further length showed the advantages which would result
from the removal of the bishops from the House of Lords,
and said he would vote against the endowments of an
established church, whether catholic, protestant, or non-
conformist. Mr. Harvey then resumed his seat amidst
loud and continued cheering. In answer to various questions
put to him, Mr. D. W. Harvey said he would resign his
police-commiesionership as soon as he could ascertain tiat the
majority of the liberal electors of the borough were in his
favour. He would support a mere extended scheme of go-
' vernment education, one that would not interfere with the
principles of religion.—Mr. H.C. Wilson moved a resolution:
" That this meeting, taking into consideration the long-
tried services of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey in the cause of
the people, consider him especially and pre-eminently qua-
lified to represent the electors of Marylebone in the Com•
mons' House of Parliarneat." (Tremendous applause.)—Mr.
Potter seconded the resolution, which, after some tette re-
marks in eulogy of the hon candidate, was put from the
chair, and carried unanimously, amidst the most vociferous
cheering.—A vete of thanks vine subsequently been
passed to the chairman, nine c were given for Mr. D.
W. Harvey, end the proceedin inated.
MEATSL—Mr. Henry Grat Mad Mr. Corbalty will to
undyposed.
NEWCASTLE ON-TT/111.—A COD ,bas somewhat ones-
peat city arisen in this borough. Thomas &ammo&
Headiest', a barrister, son of Ar n Headlam, of
Wycliffe, Yorkshire, and nephew of r. Headlam, of New-
castle, has issued an address to the elertors. He is • free-
trader, and will be supported by the extreme liberals. hl
Hodgson Hinds and Mr. Ord, the sitting members are ame -
candidates, and it will require extraordinary influence ir,
favour of Mr. Headlam to defeat Mr. Hinde, against who.,
the opposition is chiefly directed. Mr. Dellis very popular
with the old whig party, so that Mr. Headlam has two very
powerful opponents to encounter.
MQ r.,Tzall Talbot is New Ross.—Mr. J. H. Talbot will start for this borough.
He is father-in-law to Mr. Redington, the under secretary.
jaCaoerePeareal.—erTh. e resignation of Sir Charles Coots,
and the substitution of Mr. Wilson Fitzpatrick, will give an
additional supporter to the whig government.
SCARBOROCOH.—Sir John Johnstone, tart., and the Ear&
of Mulgrave, are in undisturbed possession of the field, anti
there is little doubt that both will be elected without a pelt
Sr F. W. Trench retires. .

STOCILPORT.—After an saturate scrutiny of the Matt
of the canvass, we are informed by a gentleman, in whose
veracity we have entire confidence, that Mr. Kershaw's
i return s pertain. We cannot conceive of any free trade
elector, after reading Mr. Cobden's address, voting
for any other candidates than Mr. Cobden and Mr.
Kershaw. The latter gentleman is a free trader of tried
convictions, and, in the language of Mr. Cobden, is one
" who will guard with firmness the great measures of last
year from the dangers to which they_may.be exposed in their
transition state."—Manchester Guardian.

SOUTH SHIELD/.—There will be a very severe contest in
this borough, between Mr. Wawn, the sitting member, and
Mr. Whiteley, the new candidate on the conservative in-
terest. It is admitted at present by both parties that the
result is uncertain, as the strength of each candidate is be-
lieved to be nearly balanced.
Torszse.—The liberals intend bringing forward Mr.
Sampson Ricardo, a brother to Mr. Ricardo, II P. The
I Hon. Edwd. Petre has given up the idea of contesting the
seat with Mr. Barry Baldwin.
Wact.e.—The Bristol Mirror states that there is no pros-
pect of any opposition to the re-election of the present
itesiben.

WISTISCKY.—Mr. Higgins, of Lowndes•street, Belgrave-
square, has addressed this-constituency, as a liberal conserva-
tive, in opposition to Mr. Wilson, of the Iloonomitt.
Wicitow.—Bir Ralph Howard having retired frem this
county, Colonel Acton and Lord Milton will be returned pro-
bahle without opposition.
WIXTOILD B01101)011.—Sir Thomas Esmovide strenuously
urges his claims, and bids the electors remember pest times,
when be made sacrifices in their behalf. Mr. Richard Reve-
nue, brother of the nominee of the Repeal Club, addressee
the constituency in behalf of his brother, now in Belgium—.
of course as a repealer.
WICK B011.01:111.—Mr. Loch has issued his circular an-
nouncing his intention of again standing. No opposition.
Tuneorni.—A meeting of the liberal electors of this
borough was held on Monday evening, convened by Mr.
Alderman Cobb (the chairman of the committee appointed
at a previous meeting), to find a candidate for the representa-
tion of the borough, in the place of Mr. Willahere, retired,
the sudden illness of Mr. Wynn Ellis, who engaged,
if approved by the electors, to come down and declare
his political opinions, having again left them without
a candidate. R. Bagshaw, Esq., had promised to offer
himself to the electors ; but, in the meantime, proceedings
were going forward which operated injuriously, by tending
to produce dimension in the body. And a pretended intima-
tion from Mr. Willehere that he would willingly withdraw
his resignation and again come forward, was made use of to
multiply differences ; the consequence of which was, that
Mr. Bagshaw resigned. It was ultimately agreed that a
public meeting of all the electors of the borough be con-
vened on Thursday evening, and that any gentleman who
might choose to offer himself as a candidate, be invited to
attend and address the meeting.

DUBLIN, JoLy 5.
The country papers of Saturday report on the state
and prospects of the harvest, and all without excep-
tions are favourable to a fortunate issue. Some be-
gin to apprehend injurious consequences from the .
excessive heat, which gives a dried and shrivelled ap-
pearance to the leaves of the potato stalk in very
close and heavy soils. But in years before disease
was known these appearances afforded very little un-
easiness, and in no degree affected the crop. How-
