ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

TIVERTON.

Lord Palmerston is to be opposed in this borough
by Sir John Huron Maxwell, of London, who has just issued
an address "To the Free and Independent Electors," in
which the honourable baronet says :—"Wishing to confirm
your title to freedom and independence in your borough—
which has been closed fur nearly a quarter of a century—l
am not intimidated even by the circumstance of my chief
opponent being the Prime Minister of England, from
coming forward to solicit your suffrages, thus enabling
every elector to asset his privileges and exercise
his franchise." He then announces his principles
to bo conservative, "by which I mean," ho gays, "a
warm attachment to the venerable institutions of

our land, with, at the same time, a MIICCI 0 desire
to introduce, through the medium of our legieleturei
such improvements as the lapse of years and the spirit of the
age may, from time to time, render necessary. Lord Pal-
merston has considered it his duty to appeal to the consti-
tuencies of the country for a veto of conedenco in him, end a
reversal of the vote of censure which, by a majority of the
House of Commons (including the leading statesmen of
every political section) was lately passed upon his govern-
mint. It wOlbe for you, gentlemen, to show by your vote.
on the day of election whether you approve of the conduct of
Lord Palmerston and his cabinet; or whether, by returning
mess your rcpmentative, you convey a condemnation of
bin policy in China, and of the policy of Sir John
Beeriug, which mainly has brought about the deplorable
events now occurring in that country." Upon this address
being issued, the Chairman of Lord Palmerston's committee,
Mr. F. Holes, issued the following address to the electors
Lord Pultaerston's committee respectfully announce that a
commeniattion has been received from his lordship, declar-
ing his purpose of again offrring himself as a candidate for
the r•prcecntation of this borough ; and that, previous to his
kedabip's arrival, they will take ea early opportunity of can-
vassing the electors for their guff-ages on his behalf."

TUE CITY OV LONDON.—Mr. Bailees Currie, =-
SWIM', probably, of Lord John 'tweeli's determination, has
published the following addrese to the electors of the city of
London:—" Gentlemen,—ln obedience to the wishes of a
large body of electors, I offer myself as a candidate for the
representation of the City. My political opinions, tested by
my votes, have been so long before the public, that I need not
explain them now. I believe that they have been maintained
fur twenty years consistently, fearlessly, and with entire in-
dependence. But there is one object of paramount In-
terest at the present moment to which I must specially
refer. Speaking in July last, in the Bowe of Commons,
on the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, I used these words "
When the reputations of experienced statesmen fell
scattered around like leaven in autumn, the noble lord
(Palmerston) stood firm, nailed his colours to the mast,
threw energy into the councils of the crown, maintained
the honour of the country and restored pence to Europe.'
Those were my convictions then, they have been confirmed
and strengthened by the events of last autumn. The whole
of that strange history cannot now be told, but posterity will
recognise the merits of a minister by whose persevering
courage alone all the conditions if peace were carried out,
and thanks to whom England retains her proud and rightful
place among the makes of the earth. I believe that an im-
mense majority of the citizens of London are determined to
support Lord Palmerston against combination, which I for-
bear to designate, but which he lose called, with happy mag-
nanimity, ' the fortuitous concourse of atom. In the earns
lobby.' Contlemen,—At your bidding I have resigned •
constituency as independent, intelligent, and faithful as any
win ever represented. I believe that I shall be honoured by
your generous support, and I leave my election in your
hands with perfect confidence as to the result.—l are, gen-
tlemen, your very faithful servant, limites

Cornbill, March 12."
LIVERPOOL, TITURSDAY.—The contest on the
coming election premiums to be very severe, and both parties
are sanguine of success. Upwards of 4,000 new votes are on
the wieder, and this fact caws much speculation as to the
result. The liberal party are at present determined to con-
centrate their strength upon Mr. J. C. Ewert, although many
of them are desirous of sharing their votes with Mr. Hors-
fell, who is a favourite with both parties.
SALYORD.—It was confidently rumoured yesterday
that Mr. Langworthy would not offer himself for re-elec-
tion, end that Mr. Cobden would be put in nomination for
the borough.
