REFRZBENTATION OF GUILDFORD.—The Surrey
and Hasa Nem arid Guildford Tines, of this day's date,
contains an address issued by Henry Lawes Lon, Baq.' an
old and staunch liberal, soliciting the suffrages of the
electors of Guildford in opposition to the return of the
conservative member, Mr. Bovill, who vacates his seat
on appointment as Solicitor-General in Lord Derby's
ministry.

REPRESENTATION or DROFIVICH.—DROITWICH,
PRISMS Nionr.—ln consequence of the rumour cement
through the London papers, that Sir J. 8. Pakington,
M.P. for this borough, was about to be raised to the peer-
age, £ private meeting of the heada of the liberal party in
this borough has been held, at which it was resolved, in
the event of the rumour proving true, to bring forward a
liberal candidate to represent the borough. Accordingly,
this evening, an address has been issued by Mr. Corbett,
of the Stoke Alkali Works, offering himself to the electors
on liberal principles.
REPRESENTATION OF COCKERMOTJTIT.—The re-
election of Lord Naas for Cockermouth, after his appoint-
ment to the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland, is to
be opposed by Mr. Wilfred Lawson, late M.P. for Carlisle,
who has oonsented to come forward as candidate in the
liberal interest. A public meeting was held at Cocker.
mouth on Thursday, to support Mr. Lawman's candidature.
Mr. Lawson, in the course of the proceedings, addressed
the meeting. He referred with regret to the rejection of
the Reform Bill at &Clue when something like a settlement
of the question might have been expected, and animad-
verted strongly upon the part played by the Adullamites.
He ridiculed the opinions of those who anticipated social
and domestic ruin from an extension of the franchise, and
in • few pointed remarks contended that evil would be
done by leaving the tories in undisputed possession of
power. They were now about to fight for the odd man in
the county. Cumberland returned nine members, five of
whom went wrong and four right. It remained for them
to set that right, and though he had failed to do mat Car-
lisle, be was quite sure that many of hie Carlisle friends
would be glad to see it accomplished. Mr. Lawson called
upon the non-electorsto unite to secure their freedom,
and after quoting the remarkable words of Mr. Gladstone
on the mooed reading of the Reform Bill, he concluded
by expressing a hope that next week they would send a
message to Mr. Gladstone that would cheer him in his
noble and glorious, but arduous work—that they would
tell him that the little northern borough celebrated in
bygone days for even marching in the van of freedom bad
asserted itself with undivided voice in favour of the cause
of that principle, and that all its power should be thrown
into the scale of freedom and of justice. On the motion
of Mr. Watson, seconded by Mr. Ramsay, it was remelted
" that this meeting pledges itself to use all legitimate
means to secure Mr. wson's return as member for Cock-
ermouth."
REPRESENTATION OF DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.
Another of the gentlemen announced as candidates for the
honour of representing the University of Dublin has
formally set his claims before the electors. The address
of Mr. Hedges Eyre Chatterton will be found hi our
columns this evening. In his constitutional political
views, Mr. Chatterton does not differ from Mr. J. E.
Walsh, and, like that gentleman, he has been • distin-
guished rtudent, and a scholar of Trinity College, and is a
Queen's counsel and an eminent legal practitioner. If
Ir. J. E. Walsh was out of the field., Mr. Chatterton
would, from his high character, his admitted ability as
a lawyer, and his distinguished college career, be a most
fit person to represent the university.—Duldin Evening
