TEE REPRXBIII &Arms, OP REIGATE.

The Surrey Time a of Saturday says : Matters
concerning the eleetim s are rather in an unsettled state in
this borough, neither party having yet determinedly tied
upon their candidate.. Of course a great many names are
mentioned, and as it, ie not very likely that the election will
take place until &ornery, it is Dot at all improbable that
others will yet be added to she lint. Amongst the liberals
whose names limns been put forward are Mr. W. A. Wil-
kinson, Mr. O. .L. Gower, end Mr. Thomas Dana. The
I laat•namai gent, ma, who is a member of the Society of
Friend; genius ow beslDass as a coal-merchant in the
borough. Re is well known am an active social
and political reformer; but it is not yet certain
whether be will allow himself to be put in nomina-
tion. 'The conaervativee speak of bringing forward
Mr. Smart Wortley, and that gentlemen has already inroad
as waitress. In the event of a division in the liberal camp,
be t possibly obtaio a majority, notwithstanding the
dsairkdly liberal tendencies of the borough at large. Mr.
D. after being waited upon, forwarded a letter, of which
the following is a copy, to the members d the Reigate
Liberal Registration Society. It will be seen that Mr.
Dann does not positively decline to stand, but that he
mks that proceeding dependent upon certain oostin-
Rendes • " Gentlemen,—Upon your waiting on me on
Saturday last, you were -kind enough to allow me a
few days to reply to Jour inquiry concerning the im-
portant matter yore submitted to me. Having now
maturely considered it, I wish to date that, however
gratifying to me your inquiry may be (and nothing
could be more so than the evidence of oonfideuce end
esteem afforded by your asking me to become your repre-
sentati re) other considerations present themsdvs to my
mind, which are to me of higher importance them my own
gratification. Among the first of these is the pondbility of
my standing in the place dooms other candidate, who might
be more fit to represent you than myself. Another is, that
cossiatency with my principles, and previous activity in
public matters, namely, that candidates should not be per-
mitted to incur prof use and needless expense, might possibly,
by eonflicting with the views of many of the electors,
make my return doubtful, se even furnish the occasion for
a tory triumph, which might have beeo averted, had the
liberal forms been devoted exclusively in favour of south
candidate more ready than I Amid be to comply with the
comma practice. Could these obstacles, however, be
removed, my scarptanos of your proposal would be facili-
tated. My long residence among you, and the interest I
have ever felt ie every public movement touching the wel-
fare of the locality has, I doubt not, prompted you to the
step you have so kindly taken ; bat you may rest assured
that, whether or not it may ever be my experience to pro-
mote your interests by representing you in pnritinient, I
shall ever feel grateful for this testimony of your approval
and regard.—l am, Sc., "THOMAS Dll4lO

Tae REPRIGRENTATION OF TOTH'S AND IGNITER.
—The Western Morning News of Saturday nays :—Tbe
oneenatine of Totnes are seeking to induce Mr. Dent to
contest the represeutetion on
.purity principles. A memo-
rial to that gentleman is in circulation, and aootit 190 sig.
netures had been attached to it. The number of electors
is 345. The liberal party have taken no further public
measures respecting the election. Mr. Alfred Hey.
mour has issued • farewell address to the electors of
Exeter. It is dated one day later than his address to the
elector of Tana ; and that gentleman, therefore, does
not approve of the !Mode of being off with the old love
before being on with new. In the Exeter address
he fella the electors. " Teton is your neighbouring
borough." We had always thought that the only person
who claimed the borough of Tomato sa private pprtooperty was
the Duke of Somerset. There is, we believe, • fair
&mos that this election will be eendneted fairly and
decently es far as the electors are concerned. At present
there sestas no chance of bribery, and the only ininopn
influence will be territorial influence. Mr. Seymour baying
retired from the position which be lately occupied at
Exeter, has now left the room clear for Mr. J. D.
Coleridge, Q.C. That gentlemen will, it is understood, now
issue his address, and be is expected to hold a public meet-
ing in the city very shortly. Sir Henry Young has, it is
stated, ceased to be a candidate for Totem. On beerier
that the ground bad been preoccupied by Mr. Alfred
Seymour be at once decided on not dividing the liberal ma-
jority, and withdrew from the contort.

ENENTATION or NOILTHAMPTOX.—A corre-
opoodeat writes under data December 27:—Let weak an
addles appeared in the local pipets from Mr. lassos, •
large employer of labour in the town, and captain of one
of OUT volunteer rifle corps, announcing his intention of
becoming • candidate for the representation of the b
on the nextimainey. Mr. Imam, in his address, lim:erne
beaten path of political appeal, and beam his claims upon
his commercial connexion with the town. He says :—"Be-
lieving all ' party' cries to be raised for private
and for personal aggrandieeroent, I scorn to • to your
credulity by the expression of my devotedness to either of
the several factions which have long been the curse of this
country. And further on :—" Is this great manufacturing
town it mast be patent to the meanest capacity that my
knowledge and experience, in COIIIMIIOII with your local
trade, give me a claim upon your confidence and support
far superior to any pretensions to which were ver-
biage may give the momentary currency of a babe
coinage." It is well understood, however, that it is
liberal votes which Mr. Isaacs expects to gain, and Mr.
Gilpin whom he hopes to supplant. The local Tory party
atually welcome a third candidate for liberal votes, but
the liberal organ, the Mercer,, rejects and almost resents
it. The sitting members. Lord Henley and Mr. Gilpin,
have issued • joint address, in which they announce that
it is their intention, whenever the opportunity presents
itself, to solicit • renewal of the confidence of the electors,
and add :—" We ate cordially united in support of the prin-
ciples we have hitherto maintained, and we trust that
when the day of election' arrives, we shall and the liberal
party exhibiting,' by their union, • steady attachment to the
cams which has for so long • series of years been trium-
Omit in Northampton." Mr. Imam has commenced
electoral operations. He ban given 101. to the Mechanics'
Institute, and has distributed 801. in sums of 5/. and
21. 10s. among the churches and chapels of the town.
The Unitarian coogregxtioo have returned the donation,
the poor being supplied with the mine amount from other
sources.
