the borough, has also arrived.

non-electors was issued by Mr. W. P. Roberts, a chartist,
and the attorney-in-chief for the colliers and trades unions.
Mr. Roberta's address is is answer to an invitation sent to
him, requesting him to biome a candidate, which he pro-
mises to do on receipt of a suitably signed requisition. He
offers himself sa an opponent of the new poor-law, and op-
posed to the union of church and state ; to capital punish-
ments, war, the law of primogeniture, and the rate-paying
clauses of the Reform Bill. He objects also to taxes on loud
and manufactures, and approves direct taxation. A corre-
spondent says, " Mr. Roberts seems by his addles to know,
what every one else does, that he has no chance whatever of
return.'

MAW QLOI3CesTRUPEIRE.—Sir C. W. Codehaildh sash
the )Awls of Worcester have addressed the Mae= et
Wet elesseestershlre, *eliciting re-election. Is Purply% the
indavatiera conveyed is the requisition to lir. Mallead, both
hon. members deny that they are somas' ease( amy man, and
Bir M. W. Codringtaa maintains that be had received the
saw* of the Merton at three elections before be became
esaaseled with the Beaufort family. The kiergoisef Worm,. -
tee reminds the electors, too, that he was called upon solely
and entirely by the electors to eons forward in the pe-
culiar circumstances fraught with danger to native in-
dust7* " Both the Marquis of Worcester and Sir C. W.
Codrington avow themselves advocates for a repeal of the
malt tar.

Einesl/non. Mr. Charles Cowan, of Valleyfield, is
named as the probable candidate, under the auspices of the
anti-excise party.
FALILIILIC BURGHS.-1.014:1 Lincoln has agreed again to
become a candidate for this district of burghs, of which be is
the present member ; and he has announced his intention
of personally addressing the electors in a few days. At the
last election Lord Lincoln was keenly opposed by Mr.
Wilson, of Llandyvan (an extensive iron-master in the dis-
trict), and his lordship only carried his seat by a majority of
10. It is not yet known what Mr. Wilson's present bate-
-00112 are ; but those who know the Collititnenry affirm that
Lord Lincoln is certain of the burghs by a large majority.
Ftrinsittaa.—Mr. Fergius has intimated that he will stand
on receiving a suitable requisition.
H•VIIIIPORDWIIST.—John Evans, Bag., Q.C., of the
Temple, and Bt. Catherine's, Regent's Park, has addressed
the electors of Haverfordweet, &c., on the retirement of the
present member, Sir Wm. Bullieley, Hart., who has repre-
sented that constituency for twentrone years.
llutc.—A requisition is in coarse of signature by both
whims and conservatives, calling upon Mr. M. T. Banta,
Q.C., and recorder of the borough, to offer himself as a can-
didate. It is andentood that the invitation will be accepted.
He is the son of Mr. Raines, of Leeds. Mr. Clay, brother of
the M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, and who was rejected at
the election in 1841, is also said to be a candidate for this
borough.
HuNnxoposr.—Mr. T. Baring will offer himself for re-
eleetion.

I,sens.—As the period of the election draws near, the
activity of the supporters of the various candidates, Mr.
Beckett, Mr. J. 0. Marshall, and Mr. 80arge, appears to
increase, and each party expresses itself confident as to the
result being in favour of its own nominee. It seems to be
admitted on all Mirada that Mr. Beckett will be one of the
elect ; and many are the o Miens that Mr. Starr cannot
emceed against Mr. Marshall ; bat the activity and the con-
fidence of Mr. Bturge's friends appear rather to favour his
cause, unless the supporters of Mr. Beckett should step in
to decide the question against bim.
Liscorat ELEcriort.—Celonel Sibthorp and Mr. Collett
have been canvasring the waters during the past week, and
have been received with t cordiality. The original
citizen candidate and Bir Edward Salyer Lytton have also
been hard at work, and there is every probability of a severe
straggle taking place.—LioscohmAire 0/seaside.
LONCIPOIUD. —The repealer' ham had a meeting in this
county, and say they can return two men of that political
cast. Mr. Vaughan, who is in the geld as a candidate, will,
it is said, with proper inducement, cone up to the mark. At
present, Mr. Vaughan is a wbig. it b stated that some
priests will support Mr. Fos, the tory " nationalist," as is
the fashion to call them.
LIITRIm.—Lord Clements has retired gum the repTlll4M-
tad= of this county, and his brother, the Hon. E. 8. Cle-
mente, an assistant poor-law oommissicaor, h a candidate in
his stead. _

TOP LONDON.— Mr. J. W. P'reeltdeld has issued an
address u the fourth Conservative eandidate. His claims
upon the electors are to be urged in connexion with those
of Mews. John Mastennan, Aid. Johnsen, and R. C. L.
Bevan.

MJatiom.—T. B. Leonard, Esq., the liberal candidate, has
visited the borough.
NIWAIII.—Thu Earl of Lincoln having decided to offer
himself for Lanarkshire in the new pediment, it is now, we
mientand intended to nominate T. S. Godfrey, Esq., for
the borough of Newark.—Snagord Mercury.
NORTH DVIIIAM.—DUILI•II, TIMUIDAY NIONT.—The
deputation who left the mating of the county gentians on
Tuesday to wait on the Hon. H. T. Liddell, in London, to
mes, with him on the condition on which he would contest
fns *aunty at the general election, and in the slant of his
deellsdng to do so, to ascertain the sentiments of Lord Sea-
ben, have returned to-day. Theyhave brought an address;
lilei Mr. Liddell, declaring hie intention to retire from
Abe dentist, and one from Lord &ahem, promptly respond-
' img Is the call made on him to become a candidate. It ap-
pm Mr. Liddell was unwilling to expend the sum of
INI•17 oa his own account requisite to bear the expenses of
a eentert, end that he thought Lead &slum had the
*Med claims on the conservative party to become his
emmeor, and recommended the deputation to see Lord Sea-
hem and ascertain his sentiments on the subject. Mr. Lid-
dell farther stated, that if Lord &ahem should decline to
beams a candidate, and the gentry of the county thought
his en, Mr. H. Liddell, an eligible candidate, be would no-
dal*, a sonnet and defray the expenees himself rather than
the entinreatire party should be without a candldsce, with
the setae prospect of eowains his election. Lordleahens was

and for the mane in which he discharged the duties of
their repreeentative oa two former occasions. A second can
didate on the liberal interest appeared on Thursday, in the
r esizof Mr. Francis Pigott, of Heckfleld-heath, who ad-

A band of music paraded the town, and the streets promoted

IRELAND.
JOLT 8.
The condition of the country, in a social point of
view, can be fully understood from fierce litigation
now going on at quarter sessions. In addition to the
instances to which I have before referred, there is at
Nenagh the enormous quantity of 4,300 civil bills and
200 criminal cases ; at Strokestown, one of the divi-
sions of the county of Roecomnion, there were 1,900
civil bills, and 200 ejectmente for non-payment of
rent. At Parsonstown, oat of 126 offences, 100 were
offences against property.
I informed you on Monday last of the resignation
of Mr. M'Cartney, as chairman of the board of guar-
dians of Ballymoney union—the cause being the per-
tonal responsibility attached to the chairman or
other guardian who bad signed accounts which
may be disallowed by the auditor, under
the 28th section of the Poor-law Extension
Act. Mr. M'Cartney's resignation created a stir
in the north, and threatens to be followed by
withdrawals in other parts of Ireland. The Antrim
guardians, on Tuesday last, pawed some very strong
resolutions approving of Mr. M'Cartney's conduct,
and denouncing the unhappy section as arbitrary,
unconstitutional, and tyrannical. And yet the same
Election was found telitlens verbis in the old law.
Mr. Alfred Austin, in a letter to the pace-law
commirrioners, states that the removal of the desti-
tute Iri•I from Liverpool to Ireland will commence
iminciately. For the first few days the removals
will. not exceed 150 per diem ; but as soon as the
arrangements are perfect the numbers w ill be increased.
The market jury of Clenmel have pronounced the
provisions distributed by the relief committee there
to be unfit for human food.

SCOTLAND.
Bottrevaon, Jovr &
An official return has been orderedaa to the amount
ad metmemmiedstion in Fort Augustaa—most probably
in conmesion with her Majesty's approaching visit.
Although somewhat dismantled, the fort can receive
300 men.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Scottish Agricul-
tural Chemical Association it was announced that
during the last sin months the applications for
analrns of soils were 113, for analytical researches,
28—all which will in dee time tell on Scottish
husbandry.
Allusion has been made in the Express to the
Itmperfinouineas of the proposed addition to the pauper
education and monastic boarding system of Edinburgh
involved in the openimg of the stupendous fabric
known by the designation of Donaldson's Hospital.
This edifice owes its erection to Mr. Donaldson, a
printer in Edinburgh, who died in 1830, leaving
200,0001. for the 'maintenance and education of 300
children--objects which were ever sufficiently pro-
vided for while Mr. Donaldson wee alive. Education
itself can never be to cheap, but its conjunction with
maintenance, and the consequent estrangement of
youth from the parental root has caused much im-
morality and mischief, whilst the facilities for the
gratis accompliodiment of both objects have been so
multiplied in Benburgh as to weaken independent
feelings la raga% and came many in the middle
ranks offal" to avail themselves of bounties intended
only for tie indigent. These considerations have so
premed themselves on the governors of Donaldson's
Hospital, tint mow, wawa the building is on the eve
of completion, some of them are not indisposed to
a change in its objest. Various propositions have
been made, bat the one that has attained most
favour is its conversion into a general blind

asylum for Scotland. As we have already said, the
ease only requires to be properly represented to par-
liament m order to get the disposition of Mr. Donald-
son so altered as to allow the above or some kindred
designs( real utility to be carried into effect. Par-
liament km already stepped in to prevent the accu-
mulation of bequest funds, and it will be quite con-
latent b interpose its authority when the public weal
can be shown to be in danger from the settlement of
a well-meaning but crotchetty and indiscriminating
millionaire.

The Sheriff of Perth not only administers the law on
the bench, but proclaims its provisions to the lieges
beforehand. Thas, he has issued two proclamations,
announcing what statute rights the public enjoy in
regard to the over-crowding of mail-coaches, and the
sanitary improvements of towns. And yet in the
very paper which contains his lordship's proclamation
the town-council report shows the Solon. of that
body to be squabbling whether filth can be removed
at other than the expense of them, the town council.
A committee was appointed months ago to report on
this, and now 101. is to be spent in getting a legs!
opinion on what is clear as noon-day—namely, that
the transportation of nuisances is made at the expense
of the owners of property, or, failing them, the
parochial funds.
