parties are unwilling is give unreserved pledges, a large
number of promises were obtained. Sir Hectworth Wil-
liamson, Bari, Mayor of Sunderland, a gentleman of great
local influence, proteesing liberal opinions, has consented to
become a candidate, on the understanding that he is to have
the joint support of the whip and tories, in order to secure
the defeat of Mr. Wilkinson. This opposition has excited
much indignation. The tories have not been able to find a
candidate, and mako a merit of their necessity by stating
that they do not desire the return of two of their party. It
is however known that Mr. Freshfleld would not come, and
that the Hon. Mr. Liddell would only become a candidate
on condition that his expenses were to be paid by his
party. The contest will probably be very animated, as pri-
vate feeling will have greater influence than public prin-
ciple by the party who oppose Mr. Wilkinson. The mayor
being returning officer, Sir Hedworth Williamson, who now
holds that office, will have to resign it before the election, so
that it is not yet known when the election will be held, but
it is thought the arrangement will he made so u to bring
the whole proceedings to a close in the course of next week.

been extremely dull, and although prices are nominally sup-
ported, there have been so many undenellers that it is diffi-
cult to give quotations for Flour, Oats, or Barley ; as to
Wheat, our farmers' supplies are moderate ; and the condi-
tion being affected by damp weather, it is not freely bought
at last week's prices, sav 625. to 55e. per qr. nd ; 645. to 67e.

mand being good, it sold freely, the quality being considered,
at from le. to 2s. a quarter above last week's prioes, nearly
everything being cleared off. Barley was in large supply,
and met a good sale, at fully as much money as last weak.
