SCAILUOROUGII.—Lord Nlidgrave has issued an
address announcing himself again a candidate, as a decided
friend of the government of Lord Palineniton.
liaLtea.x..—Sir Charles Wood has issued his ad-
dress. He considers it unnocestary to make any personal
declaration of his political principles, end has nothing to
logy on the social or political domestic questions of the day.
Ile refers to the recent rote of the Howie of Commons, with-
out imputing low motive.) to those opposed to him, and mays
" On this question her Majesty's government wore placed in a
minority by an extraordinary combination of different w-
iles. lam not disposed to question the honesty and purity
of the motives by which many of those votes were dictated,
but it was obvious, from this and other circumstances, that
. .

the government could not conduct with advantage the busi-
nem of the country in the HOMO of Common. It is now for
the country, in the election of its future representatives, to
decide whether the present government shall continue to ad.
minister the attain of this country, nr whether their guidance
is to be transferred to other bands, chosen from any of the very•
&area parties who were united in the rsocnt majority."

TYNEMOUTTI, THURSDAY MORNING.—The largest
in-door political meeting ever held in this town took place
lest night 4 the new Albion Aimemblf_flootas, to hear an
explanation from Mr. W. S. Lindsey of his votes during the
pest four rill.. The noble hall was densely packed, hun-
dreds being unable to gain admission. Mr. Lindsay, who
was accompanied to the platform by several of the leading
shipowners and merchants of the town, was most cordially
received. Alderman Pow, the chairman of the Shipowners' So-
_ . .

ciety, occupied the chair.—Mr. Lindsay maid he voted against
the government on the Chinese question because ho was
strongly convinced of the injustice of our proceedings
at Canton, and wan prepared to 'hike his seat upon it.—
The Chairman, in moving a vote of confidence in the public
conduct of Mr. Lindsay, observed that Mr. Lindsay had
attended well to their interest.. Lord Palmerston would not
go forward in other liberal question. without @queering.
Ilea Mr. Pow) at ono tioo thought that the government was
right with regard to the Chinese war; but, after more
maturely considering the question, he had come to the
conclusion that that might admit of doubt.—Mr. Hall
seconded the motion.—Mr. Bainbridge, barrister, of Culler-
costa, strenuously defended the conduct of Sir John
Bowling and Lord Palmerston. Nevertheless he would
let bygones be bygones. The old watchwords were
raised in the camp of toryiani spin, and if the
liberals failed in this issue they would have theme beck

o—.—
to power who were opposed to, all progress, and no on
would vote more heartily for Mr. Lindsay against a tory a

the day of election than himself. (Laud ;usocksg-continued
cheering.)—Mr. Dryden, shipowner, said if they had to be
plunged into us: and turmoil continually, where was the
money to come from to pay for it P Out of their pockets.
Peace suited this country best ; and let them nail their
colours to the masthead, end support their member, who

voted for economy and retrenchment.—The vote was put,
and a forest of hands was held up for it ; only font voted
against it. The vote was followed with immense cheering.
The Orrin have quarrelled amongst themselves, and their
organisation is completely broken up.
Nonwien, MAncit 12.—The Liberal party here
held a private meeting last evening, and the gentlemen pre-
sent were addressed by Viscotmt Bury, and Mr. Schneider
(who lately appeared as a candidate fur the representation of
Hull). It is now positively understood that Mr. Warner
will not offer himself for re-election, and that Lord Bury
and Mr. Schneider will contest the representation in the
liberal Intermt. Up to ono o'clock to-day they had not,
however, firmed any entree..
EDINBUROII.—The present members for the City of
Edinburgh, Mr. Cowan and Mr. Black, have both intimated
emir intention d again coating forward. Several other can-
ABMs bins keen named, each as Sir W. 0. Craig, who has
bass represented the city, and Viseount Melgund ; but the
der, it la said, is not desirous of re-entering on parliamcn-
Imp ally, and the noble viscount's opinions on various re-
ligions qnsatiens ass, it may be feared, somewhat too liberal
for Ile COd Itilsinrgh. The conservatives are in the
nesisibes lisaglst back and will probably not enter the field,
miss, from &Mona among the liberal party, they should
and sloop-hole for their candidate to enter. The conserve-
tires form but a very small minority in the city, but n mo-
demte candidate might obtain many wing votes, if Mr. Black
should stand alone in that interest.
GREAT YARMOUTIL—On Wednesday evening
large public meeting washeid in favour of the Liberal candi-

addressee soliciting re-election.
WIIITERAVEN.—MT. R. C. liildyard has issued
him address. In allusion to Mr. Cobden's motion, which be
supported, he says "For that vote the House of Common Is
dismissed. Happily the constitution of this few assolly
hen provided a court to which an independent member am
appeal against the censure of any government. You, tin
electors, who sent me to parliament, constitute that court et
appeal. At your bar I shall inertly present myself, and ask
you to reverse the sentence of the government, and, by again
selecting me as your representative, to express your opinion
that a vote which I gave in accordance with my conscientious
conviction hem not diaentitled me to the confidence of ray
constituents."
CIIELTEMIARL—NO second candidate has yet come

ment) with every prospect of curves.
KIDDERMINsTER.—Mr. Boycott, who came for-
ward at the late election, but withdrew, has issued circulars
to the burgesses, stating his intention to become a candidate.
We understand that John Stoney Pskington, Esq., was
applied to to come forward, but the proposal was declined.
WEriT WORCEsTERsIIIRE.—No movement has as
yet taken place. Lord Elmley and Mr. F. W. Knight will
no doubt offer themselves for re-election, and it is by no
means improbable that a liberal candidate may be brought
forward, that interest being now very much strengthened in
this division.— Worcester Chronicle.

terest. Dr. Phillimore's intentions are not yet known.
Tarsron.—The Right Hon. H. Labouchere has
boned his address. Re says It will now bo for the
country to decide between contending parties; and I heartily
hope that the decision will be such so either to strengthen
the hands of those who now hold power, or else to transfer it
at °nee to others who may poetess in a greater degree the
madame of parliament and the people." In noneequence of
a rumour that the other libetel member, Sir John Bounden,
intends offering himself to another constituency, Mr.
Arthur Mills has again put forward an address. He gives
no statement of his political opinions.
Damwten.—The Right lion. Sir J. S. raking-
ton has issued an address soliciting for re-election for this
borough. "I am desirous, as I have ever been" he aye,
"to maintain unimpaired the institutions of ray country;
that with this view I am slways ready to onselder thous
changes which an rendered neesmsry from time to time,*
the rapid progress of events; that I attach great and In-
, creasing importance to the Domini of adopting all proper

and prudent measures for elevating the character and social
condition of the labouring classes; and that prolonged en-
pericnoe has only increased my sense of the grace reoponei•
bility with which the duties of a member of parliament are
fulfilled."

YORKSHIRE (NORTH RIDING).—An influential ad-
doom ham been presented to the lion. J. Dundee, brother of
the Earl of Zetlatid, requesting him to allow Mused to be
put in nomination for the North Riding of Yorkshire, The

Milton, Goderich, Mulgrave, and Ernest Bruce; Sir W. M.
E. Milner, Sir W. Lawson, Sir B. It. Graham, Sir G. Strick-
land, Admiral Wytil, Mr. Bowes, and meat of the influen-
tial landed proprietors in the North Riding. Mr. Dundee
has acceded to the requisition, and has honed his address.
The hen. gentleman says The present appeal to the
country is nominally upon the question of the propriety of
the measures taken by her Majesty's rtpresentatives at Can-
ton ; kit that is not the real question at issue between parties

in parliament. It is really ono of eonthlcnoe—or want of
confidence—in the present admini..tmtion will the country
have Lord Palmerton or Mr. Disraeli P If I had been in
parliament, I should have certainly supported the minister
who has so successfully carried us through unexampled diffi-
culties; and in offering myself to your notice I at suer de-
clare myself as a supporter of the general policy of her Ma-
jesty'a prment government."
Neeld has declined to come
forward, in consequence of the strong requisition he has
received from Cricklade. Captain Boldero has also isaued
his address. Mr. Nisbet has not issued an address, but a re-
quisition to him Is In course of signature requesting hint to
come forward again se a candidate. Mr. Lielye has lassed

an address to the electors.
SALISBURY.—Mr. Slade, Q.C., is spoken of as a
candidate on the Conservative interest. Mr. Daniel Iligford
Ilurr, of Ross, who utusuccesaftilly contested the city at the
last general election, is also spoken of. Mr. Chaplin and
General Buckley will offer themselves for re-election.

GRIII9ISY.—We (Stan ford Mercury) understand
from undoubted authority that Lord Anne.ley doer not intend
again to offer himself for tho borough; and it in pretty cer-
tain that at the nest general election Lord Wortley will be
returned as the representative of Grimsby without opposition.
liusTlNGtxrN.—General Peel and Thomas Baring,
Esq., the present members, have issued addresses to the
electors of Huntingdon and Godmiutchester. Respecting the

county representation, there have been some meetings
amongst this inenential whigs this meek; and the result is
that J. M. Heathectate, Esq., of Conington Castle, is an-
nounced u a candidate in the liberal interest. Mr. Rust and
Mr. Followed are candidates in the tory interest.
G:

far as we (Stamford Mercury)
gather, the popular feeling Is strongly in favour of the
Hon. F. J. Tollemaeho and Mr. WeIV, and it is anticipated
Lord Graham will lee it prudent to withdraw from the con-
test.

ATltsrunE. Sir James Ferguason, who was
elected for this county when in the trenches before Sebas-
topol, upon the death of Colonel Blair, who was killed at
Inkermann, has again offered himself. As yet there is no
talk of opposition.
Ara Be aces.—Mr. Craufurd, the sitting member
for these burghs, has issued an address declaring himself
strongly in favour of Lord Palmerston. Mr. Archibold T. Boyle
offers himself as a candidate. Mr. Boyle Is an advocate at
the Scottish bar, and son of the late Lord President Boyle.
He is a liberal conservative, and contested thu burghs with
Mr. Craufurd at the last general election, when he was de-
feated by a very small majority.
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—After a lengthened re-
tirement from public life, the veteran Colonel Henry White,
is about to take the field for Longford, of which county be
is the lord-lioutenant. As the gallant colonel's principles

are identical with those professed by the sitting members,
Colonel Greville and Mr. H. G. Hughes, the contest pro-
misee to be a severe one. Ms or Govirt has addressed the elec-
tors of the city of Limerick, and one of the local papers sug-
gests that a coalition should be formed between the major
and Mr. Serie:ant O'Brien, with a view of ousting Mr.
Francis W. Russell, ono of the sitting members. In the
county of Clare it is believed that Mr. Cornelius
O'Brien is to retire, but that Sr John F. Fitz-
gerald, notwithstanding his great age, will again offer
himself to the electors. Several new candidates are named,
—viz., Mr. Luke White, son of Colonel Henry White, above
mentioned ; Mr. Pairs° Creogh, Lord T. Conynghara, and
Mr. W. J. Skerrett—all liberals. Mr. Pesach Brodyan, of
Pihown, is about to resign the shrievalty of Drogheda, with
a view of contesting the borough with Mr. M'Cann, the
present member. Sir William Somerville fa also spoken of,
and it is said that there is a strung feeling in his favour. A
fourth candidate is reported in the person of Captain
Singleton, who starts on the Conservative interest. Mr.
Martin Joseph Blake, who has represented the town of
Galway for upwards of 20 years, has, it seems, signified his
intention of retiring. His sue„essor, it is generally believed,
will be Lord Dunkellin, now in Pestle. Tho sitting members
for the county of Galway are threatened with opposition to their
reelection. The new aspiranta are Lord Ihinlo, Mr. W. If.
Gregory, and Mr. Denis Kirwan, all of whom are supporters
of the Maynooth grant; but the friend. of Sir Thomas
Burke and Captain Bellew appear to be quite certain of their
re-election.

TIPPERARY:I)UBLIN, THURSDAY NIGHT.—Thu
polling commenced this morning e nine o'clock, and closed
at five p.m., when the gross poll for Tharlos, Clonmel, and
Tipperary, was as follows ,—The O'Donoghue, 1,832 ; Wal-
dron, 1,139; majority for the O'Donbogue, 693. No return
has yet boon received from the throe other polling places.

Amongst the candidates for parliamentary honours
is the venerable Robert Owen. In an address to " the
electors of Great Britain end Inland," ho says that " a
new mien= for the human ruse is about to commence,"
and if they will elect him to a seat In the House of Com-
, moue, free of expellee, and without trouble, he "will
accept the °Hee and explain this discovery, and how the
change can be immediately cotumeumd most advan-
tageoualy in all civilised countries simultaneously."
It is true, he says, that when oho new parliament meets he
s ill be 86 years of age, but " Providence he. so far given me
strength of body and mind for this great work, and to intro-
duce it for the adoption of all nations, is evidently the mis-
sion which from my birth I have been wonderfully aided
and preserved to accompli h." Mr. Owen dates his address
from Sine:maks Park, Benumb.

COURT or COMMON COUNCIL.—At a meeting of
this court yesterday, the Lord Mayor reported that its vote
of confidence in Lord Palmerston had been most cordially
received by his lordship, who had felt himself much com-
plimented thereby. Mr. Blake then called attention to •
question of privilege. He read the following extract from
Galignarois diestessrer of Paris :—" It may be remembered
(says Cialignant) that in September, 1855, Mr. Ashwell,
managing director of the Great Luxembourg Railway Com-
ps:ly to Beiginni,with Sir Wm. Magnay and Mr. Mas Lerman,
jun., directors of the company, were tried by the Tribunal
of Correctional Police of Brussels, charged with certain
ffinudulent transactions in connexion with the company, but
they were acquitted. On Tuesday last en appeal against the
decision was prountod to the Court of Appeal at Brussels,
and ait neither of the three gentlemen appeared to oppose it,
the court, after hearing a statement of the alleged facts,
declared the judgment of the tribunal erroneous, and quash-
ing it,condenenst by default. Mr. Avhwell to two years' lin-
pnsonment and 2,000 f. fine, and the other two severally to
three years' imprisonment and 3,0001. fine. In the pleading'
Sir W. Magnay and Mr. Masterman were accused of appropri-
ating as much as 58,000/. of the property of the shareholders."
Mr. Blake moved that it be referred to the law officers of the
corporation to ascertain how far a member of the
ea o 4
herein-mentioned, had diequalnied himself from holding that
position.—Mr. Young objected to taking such a proceeding
behind the backs of the wooed, and in the ohmic" of !Ai
deuce as to the facts.—Deputy Holt, Mr. T. H. Fry, and Sir
Peter Laurie, spoke for having the matter investigated by
the law officers. Mr. Elliott thought an opportunity should
be given to the gentleman concerned to offer his explanations,
since it was possible this mi.-spryer paragraph might be
erroneous. After soros conversation the motion of Mr.
Blake was altered, and it .66 resolved that the Recorder,
Commonfierjeant,Comptroller,Reraembrancer, and Solicitor,
should make all duo inquiry into the correctness or other-
wise of the statement, and whether the member implicated
therein was disqualified front holding a Peat in this court.
A correspondent informs us that a subscription
has been net on foot on behalf of the widow and six children
of the poor man Leery who was killed yetterday week by a
fall from the scaffolding at the buildings now in course of
erection opposite Hyde Park.
