"EliglllFF.—One of the first results of the recent
effort to pat on the screw in Cardiff, in favour et the Bute
nogninee, is seen in the determination of the liberals not
only to re-elect Colonel Stuart, but to do so free of all
expense to himself. At the last contested election 2,000

Greenwich." The resolution was carried with enthestaam.

district committee of Mr.
McArthur comprise in the aggregate upwards of 2,000
electors. They hold almost diuly sittings, and have orga-
nised a system of canvassing all over the borough. The
other candidates, Messrs. Hughes, Doulton, Lawrence,
and Hartwell, are, to • great extent, resting upon their
oars with respect to canvassing. Mr. Alderman Law-
rence will commence attending a series of meetings next
week; and in a fortnight Mr. McArthur will do like-
wise.

Mr. Overend, Q.C., the leader of the Midland Circuit, has

gentleman has, however, declined the invitation, feeling
that with so large a constituency the contest would be too
much for his strength.

forward as a liberal candidate, in response to a requisition
bearing nearly 11,000 signatures. He declares in favour of
disestablahing the Irish church, a comprehensive system
of education, reform in the military and naval establish-
ments, the abolition of the ratepaying clauses, the protec-
tion of the funds of trades unions, and the ballot, should
it be necessary for the effectual protection of the voter.
Mr. Robert Barnes, an ex-mayor of Manchester, is
mentioned on the conservative side.

NEWAIIIE.—Mr. Edward Denison, nephew of
the Speaker, has issued an address as an independent
candidate, still however agreeing with the liberal leaders
on the principal topics of the day. He is favourable to
the diseste.blishment of the Irish church, and is of opinion
that that measure should be followed by one giving to the
agricultural tenants full compensation for unaxhwsted
improvements. The large measure of enfranchisement
given by the Reform Aot meets with his approval, as also
does the principle of personal payment of rates. Mr.
Denison is opposed to the ballot.
NORFOLK (Nortril).—The conservative CAME-
dates, the Hon. F. Walpole and Sir E. Loon, Bart.,
addreseed the electors at Aylaham on Tuesday. The
chair was taken by Mr. E. Fellowes, M.P. for Hunting-
donshire. To-morrow the candidates will attend a similar
meeting at Reepham.
Nora's' DEVON.—The address of Sir Stafford
Northcote. Secretary of State for India, appeared yes-
terday. The right hon. baronet first alludes to the new
Reform Act, and says that he is not disposed to regard
the extension of the franchise with uneasiness, provided
elections are fairly conducted, and the constitutional
counterpoises which now operate as checks upon hasty
legislation are not diminished. Sir Stafford then goes
ou to say:—" A question of the highest importance is
likely to engage the attention of the new parliament on
its first assembling. It will be called on to decide whether
we shall maintain, or shall been to subvert the established
church. Believing, ai I do, that the maintenance of an
tvtsbljshed church is of inestimable value to the nation. I
shall be prepared to support it. An attempt has been
made to draw a distinction in this respect between the
ace of Ireland and those of England and Scotland ; but
I can see no reason for admitting it, and I am further of
opinion that it is peculiarly undesirable to introduce into
Ireland any measure tending to stir up ill-will between
the different sections of her population, or to shake
confidence in the security of corporate or other property.
Ireland has a peculiar claim upon England for justice
and for simpathy. The people of England are anxious
to accord her both ; and the administration of the country
has for many years—and pre-eminently of late years—
been carried on in this spirit. Much has been done, but
much still remains to be done, not only to develop her
material resources and to remove the hindranceeto agri-
cultural Improvement, bat to promote harmony and con-
fidence in the country itself, and in its relations with
England and with the government of the United King-
dom. It would be much to be regretted that this import-
ant work should be interrupted by making Ireland the
battle-field of English party strife, or that practical me.-
sum *9144 in laid toe in favour of barren and irritating
religious controversy."
NOTTINGIIAII.—No other liberal besides Mr.
Hemel Osborne bee signified his intention of ete
this borough. A meeting of the liberal party is t:abestia
on the 50th inst. It is new said that two eoasereatives
will be brought forward.

again offers himself as a candidate in the conservative
interest. He dean& his vote against Mr. Gladstone's
resolutions, preine the foreign policy of the government,
and maintains that the increase m taxation has been
owing to circumstances over which the administration
had 110 control.
SaussuaY.—The overseen of Fisherton, in this
borough, have added the names of female householders
to the list of persons entitled to vote. According to the
list the constituency will be increased to 1,473, or about
double the present number. Signatures are being pro-
cured to a requisition to Mr. John Chapman (conserve.-
tire) a director of the Union Bank, to stand for the city.
Sortie DEvox.—Lord Aniberley's address was
issued yesterday. After briefly glancing at the career of
the prevent parliament, his lonlehrp panes on to notice the
que,tion of the Irish church. He supported Mr. Glad-
stone. and should he be returned for South Devou be
would continue to do so. The funds wiling.

the church in Irelnabought continues Lord dialierlay,
"in my opinion, to be devoted to seentar purposes, sort
not to the endfiwnenit either of the Roman catholic or
any other priesthood. Bang opposed on principle to
nu

of the Maynooth great and the Regis= Donum. Reli-
gious equality, however, -will not Tie completed by the
abolitica of the lath chetah sa ea midowed

meet. The same principle will require that the various
pilaster, and came of the two Uninninin of Oxford

be opened to thunders of every Mod. I have hitherto
vottd for every proposal intended to somove the offensive
distinctions that now exist between churchmen sad non-
conformists at there universities, sad if again elected to
parliameet I shall continue to promote, as far as lam
able, the rams end. I triad that another parliament will
not pass without the adoption of a complete and effective
measure for the promotion of popular edscation. There
is no subject that seems to me mere imperatively to re-
quire the attention of parliament, sod I shall anxiously
consider any bill that may be introduced with regard to
it" The noble lord also touches on the tonere of land,
the increasing national expenditure, and the importance
of comity &MCA! boards.
SOUTH Ncrrrs.—The liberals Threaten an oppo-
sition in the division if the con nrvatives contest the north
of the county. It was thought at one time that Mr. Dar-
row would retire through old ago, but ft fa sow said,
though not with eartainty known, that the hon. gentle-
man will seek the suffrages of the sham in conjunction
with Mr. T. B. T. Rildiard, the present member. Oppo-
ntion here would be futile.
Taitwoirra.—Sir Henry Bulwer has been
warmly received in this borough. Itnboauziech delivered
on Tuersisy evening he said that, a/ he now with-
drew from the town. not being willing to turb its peace
by a piesnature canvass, he walfreturn and solicit the suf-
frages of the electors at a proper time.

vative candidate, is in the neighbourhood, but the
working men are said to be Ins in their support of Mr.
Johnstone.

occupy the attention of the sew parliament, he mentions
the conciliation of the interests of capital and labour, the
diminution of panperims, the amendment of the Poor-law,

blishment of a general unaedartan system of eduention.
The rghts and interests of the people in the common and
forest lands also require attention. He will support the
disagablishment of the Irish cbarch, the repeal of the
ratepaying clauses, and the ballot. Mr. Beales is en-
gaged -nightly in holding pntdic meetings in various parts
of this large comslitaeocy,
WARWICKSHIRE hintrni).—At an influential
meeting of liberal; at Leamington on Tuesday night., it
was announced that the Hon. Qtaados Leigh had been
appointed a revising barrister in Yorkshire, and therefore
could not take part in an election contest. Consequently
Sir Robert N. C. Hamilton, Bart., a county justice of
considerable influence, had been strongly requested to
join Lord Hyde in the liberal interest. As there is esti-
mated to be a majority of 400 liberal voters on the new
electoral roll, the determination has been formed to have
a second candidate. If the oonnty cannot produce one,
it was stated that the National Reform Union could and
would do so. Mr. John Hardy, M.P. for Dartmouth,
