ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

AARTON —Charles Hindley, Esq., the present members
has incited an address to the electors, again soliciting their
suffrage.. It is well understood there will be no opposition.
Bees sti.rir.—A sharp contest Is expected.
BRIGHTON.—In all probability there will be a very severe
contest for this borough, which will lie between Mr. Coning-
' ham and Lord Alfred Hervey ; the return of Capt. Staten,
who has long represented the borough on liberal principles,
being on all hands accounted safe. Lord Alfred Hervey
offended an influential section of his supporters by ins votes
in favour of Maynooth and free trade. With regard to May-
nooth, an attempt was made to heal the breach, and at a
meeting held at the Old Ship, Mr. West, banker, and the
Rev. H. V. Elliott, prominent leaders of the no-popery
party, declared themselves satisfied with his lordship's ex-
planations. They will probably influence the bulk of their
party, but not all. Mr. Coningham stands well with the
Lberals, and he is supported by the influence of the Marquis
of Lansdowne and other members of the government ; and
his party seem pretty confident of success.
BRADFORD.—The political virtue of the Bradford condi-
tueney has been roundly estimated during the week at jossr
thousand pounds According to Cocker, this is only two
pounds a head ' The constituency amounts to about 2,000.
Making allowances for deaths, removals, double entries, and
so forth, tke quotient will stand • little higher ; any V. 3a.
But even these figures give a low estimate of the political
virtue of the Bradford electors—Bradford Obserrer,
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Some miundantanding
having arisen relative to the lion. Shaw Letevre's opinions
respecting the Roman catholic clergy endowment question,
the hon. gentleman has forwarded the following letter to a
member of the senate, who addressed him on the subject :

at which the mayor presided, and the call, made on Mr.
Fagan, alderman, to offer as Mr. Daniel Callaghan's sue-
, cessor, was approved of. Mr. Fagan has addressed the
electors. He avows himself " a moral force repealer," after
Mr. O'Connell's princigle, and, though he nye he will not
accept or solicit place, e refuses to take any " pledge" upon
the subject. He thus opposes himself at the outset to
" Young Ireland." Mr. Callaghan, it is now said, will not
rett:lLADE.—Sir J. Head solicits re•eleetion.

themeless for re-election.
DIIIIOARTAN.—The eschewers of the political career of the
Master of the Mint have called upon Mr. J. A. O'Neill to
come forward as a repealer. As Mr. O'Neill has been seek-
ing a constituency, there can be little doubt he will come
forward.

locality.
EVEIIKASI.—There is a good teal of activity displayed
Man now amoogst all parties. Mr. Rudge has now resigned,
rpm which Sir It. Howard has offered hie services in the
aorrrvadve interest. Sir H. Willoughby in his address to
that electors just published says, " I hold and shall abide by
those principles of religious faith which, founded on the holy
serietures were restored at the Reformation, and are now
empliatiel:lly called protestant." This election excites a
past deal of interest in the district. The fight it is expected
will be between Lord Marcus Hill and Sir R. Howard.
