ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

• RAITESWIOR.
The nomination of nandidatee to fill a vacancy in
the representation in parliament by the resignation of Lord
Clarence Paget, one of the liberal members for the borough
of Sandwich, Deal, and. Walmer, who has accepted the post
of Commander of the Fleet in the Mediterranean, took
place at Sandwich yesterday. In order to prevent • recur-
rence of those unseemly proceedings which have charac-
terised former election contests at Sandwich, the authori-
ties took the precaution of appointing about 50 special
constables. From an early hour in the morning supporters
of the two candidates (Mr. Thomas Brassey, jun., liberal,
and Mr. Charles Capper, conservative) paraded the streets
of Sandwich, preceded by bands of music and colour-
bearers. Mr. Capper, it will be recollected, contested the re-
presentation of Sandwich at the last general election, but
got defeated by upwards of 60 votes. The proasedine
commenced at 2 o'clock, when the candidates with their
friends occupied • hustings erected in the cattle market.
Their appearance was the signal for outbursts of feeling
on the part of • large concourse of spectators, exhibited by
yells, shouts, and other extreme exhibitions. Order hav-
ing been restored by the mayor,
Mr. W. Mona proposed,, and Alderman CAVELL
seconded, Mr. Charles Capper as a lit and proper person to
represent them in parliament.
A similar proposition on behalf of Mr. Thomas Steamy
having bean made by Mr. F. LEITH, and seconded by Mr.
BUSHELL,
Mr. CAPPER came forward to address the electors. He
maid he did not aspire to the position of representing the
constituency in parliament from any unworthy motive,
and belonged to a class who occupied their position by
their own exertions. Happily in this free country the
doors of parliament were open to any man whom his fellow-
citizens might choose to send there to represent them, and
he held that it was not only • laudatory but a praiseworthy
ambition for any man to endeavour to seek a seat in the
House of Commons.
Mr. linAamEr next addressed the electors. After thank-
ing them for the courtesy with which he had been received
since his appearance amongst them, he proceeded to say
that he came forward as a firm but consistent liberal. lie
was nut, however, in favour of any great organic changes,
only such as were demanded by the growing intelligence
and prosperity of the country. To such measures he would
give his generous support, and believing as he dd that the
reform question came within the limits of what the coun-
try required, he should be prepared to support it. Fur-
ther, he believed that government would have neglected •
duty by further deferring the subject.
The show of hands was taken amidst considerable confu-
sion, the mayor declaring the result to be in favour of the
conservative candidate.
A poll was then demanded, and fixed for the following
(this) day.

ITALY.

(YILON MB OWN CORIMPONDENT.)

FLORENCE, MAT 3.

I have no new fact of a striking nature to tell
you respecting the great question which is occupy-
ing the mind and the tongue of every man, woman,
and child here to the exclusion of aught else. The
war fever is indeed rising rapidly to over-boiling
pitch. It would be difficult to say what might be
the result of a sudden communication to the nation
that after all there was to be no war. And I think
it is out of the question to suppose that the
government here could have acted as they have
done if war were not decided on. The nation
would feel, in any other ease, that the application
of the Finance Minister for full financial powers,
which were, as you know, granted to him by an
unanimous vote of the Chamber (save one), was
really a piece of simple eseruquerie. It would
amount to obtaining money under false pretences.
There was a large and enthusiastic meeting in
the square in front of the Pitti Palace last night,
the object of which was to insist on the employ-
ment of Garibaldi and his volunteers—not to insist
on war ; that is deemed quite settled. A deputa-
tion proceeded to the Chamber, wherelthey were
told that they were acting very irregularly ; that
the only mode for them to approach the house was
by petition. The popular leaders took the rebuke
in perfectly good part, said that they were sorry to
have erred, and retired to prepare a petition.
To-day the Chamber is in secret sitting.
The first result of the full powers granted to the
Finance Minister has been a decree, published yes-
terday, announcing that the National Bank has
agreed to lend the government 250 millions, at 3
per cent.. payable half-yearly at the close of each
half-year. In return the bank is from that day
(2nd May) till further disposition, relieved from
the obligation of paying its notes in cash.
The other great banking corporations of the
kingdom are authorised to pay their notes either in
cash or in notes of the National Bank at their
pleasure. Two-thirds at least of the metallic
reserve of these banks will be " immobilized"—
i. e., is to remain in the vaults ; and each esta-
blishment will on application receive from the
National Bank a quantity of its notes of equal
value to the metal thus held in reserve.
The villas around Bologna which are within the
line of the new fortifications have been ordered to
be vacated by the 6th of this month. Of course
your readers have not allowed the dust thrown by
the Constitutionners statements, that the Italian
government had declared that Italy was making no
preparations for war, to enter their eyes. In the
midst of all that is going on around us such state-
menu appear too absurdly ridiculous

WINDSOR.
Yesterday, at the Town-hall, Mr. J. Jones, the
mayor, read letters received from two electors, urging that,
as they understood a number of prizefighters had been en-
gaged as supporters of one of the parties at the forthcom-
ing election of members for the representation of the
borough, the necessary steps should be takes for the pre-
servation of the peace of the town. About 100 special con-
stables were accordingly sworn in to assist the borough
police, while it was resolved that an application should be
made to Colonel lilandy, the chief constable of Berke, for
extra assistance. This application was forwarded to
Reading in the course of the day. To-day there will be a
meeting, convened by the mayor, at which the magistrates
of Windsor, the four candidates and their agents, have
been requested to attend, in order that arrangements
for the carrying out of the election in an amicable manner
may be concocted. Party feeling is beginning to run rather
high, and the excitement culminates as theday of election
approaches. Rough-looking strangers, stated to belong to
the prize-fighting fraternity, of whom there are said to be
about 90, have arrived in the royal borough, causing appre-
hensions of a " row" on the day of election, unless precau-
tionary measures are taken. The mayor and magistrates
have, however, acted promptly, and will to-day increase
the number of constables to 150 men, including the
borough police force. It is hoped that by these measures
any contemplated breach of the peace will be provided
amiimt. Such a thing would be sheer folly, even if thought
of, a riot could, of course, be immediately repressed by
I the as
aid of the garrison. The erection of the polling-booths
in the market -place beneath the Town-hall has been oom-
