tative under the Reform Act. Mr. Pritchard, the liberal,
and Mr. Whitmore' the conservative member, both offer
themrelvea for the seat. . . .

BUCKINOHAMSHIRE.—A severe contest is likely
to take place for this °panty. The Reeks Herald has
authority for stating that Mr. C. (I. Du Pre, who has re-
presented Buckinghamshire for the last twenty-nine_ years,
will again, in conjunction with Mr. Disraeli and Mr. R.
B. Haney, seek re-eleetion. They will be opposed by
Mr. N. G. Lambert, a magistrate of the county.

Serbs is for the county, in the liberal interest.
CHESTER.—The announcement by Mr. W. H.
Oladetone that it is not his intention to solicit the suffrages
of the elector' at the coming election has been followed
by an address by Mr. E. G. Salisbury. Mr. Salisbury u a
chancery barrister and represented the borough in the
liberal interest from 1857 to 1839. It is expected that the
conservatives will bring forward a candidate, the an-

tive candidate will be Lieutenant-Colonel Jervis, one of

MA RYLEBONE.—We have received two biters on
the subject of the forthcoming election for Marylehone.
" A Radical Elector" states that considerable cliwatisfae-
tion prevails at the manner in which the borough is repre-
sented, and that as one of the present members is said to
Le in "under false colours," a strong effort will be mado
to oust him. He advises reformers not to pledge them-
selves until the tight non are in the field. "A Maryle-
twee Elector" suggests that Mr. Thomas Chambers
should at once withdraw. He was returned through the
assistance of the tory party, and though he has frenerally
voted with the liberals, he is very far from inspiring confi-
dence. The writer hopes for the candidature of Captain
Sherard (,horn, R.N. who is, he says, "in every respect
a thorough ,lend."—Daily Noes.
MONMOUTHSHIRE.—It has been finally deter-
mined to bring forward two liberal candidates at the next

Rebow, the present sitting member for Colchester.
NORTH Norre.—Mr. Denison the Speaker of
the Howie of Commons, and Lord Edward Clinton will
both offer themselves for re-election, and as both candi-
dates are popular their election may be counted on as
certain It is said, however, that the conservatives will
bring forward two candidates. An addition of about
1,000 voters will be added to this division through the
lowering of the franchise.
NORTH SHIELIM—Mr. Shaw, the conservative
candidate, addressed an immense assemblage in the theatre
on Wednesday night, but to the astonishment of tho
meeting he declared in favour of the abolition of univer-
sity tests, the further extension of the suffrage, and tho
legal protection of the funds of trades unions. Ho said he
was opposed to vote by ballot and the eliaestablishment of
the Inch church. No vote was taken except one of

been called in this borough by Mr. Acland, political agent
for Mr. Roberta, the Recorder of Gnu:ahem, who con-
tested the vacant seat with Mr. Wyvill on the death of
the Hon. J. C. Hundaa, two years ago, getting only 13
votes. The constituency under the new Reform Bill will
be increased to about 000. It is thought that Mr. Wyvill
will retire, and that Sir /Wendell Palmer will contest the

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRA PIIS BILL.—The select
committee of the House of Com mons which have this bill
under consideration met again yesterday under the
presidency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr.
Vernon Harcourt, on behalf of Mr. Reuter's Telegraph
Company, announced that since the sitting of the com-
mittee on Thursday an arrangement had been come to
between his clients and the promoters of the bill, which
was so far mutually satisfactory. Ho should therefore
withdraw his opposition. Mr. Scudamore was again ex-
amined at considerable length, to show the probable
amount of capital required to enable government to
aasuino the proprietary and direction of the telegraphic
service. This amount he estimated at 8,000,0001.7ZST:
was pretty confident, but he did not Ike to promise any-
thing unnecessarily in addition to the great number of
promises he had made lately, that it would not reach to
7000,0001. or 8,000,0001. in making any abatement from
the present working expenses of the companies in his
estimate of such in the future witness lad only
allowed for such uctions as the companies had anion-
Wed they should effect by a proposed amalgamation.
Government could work more cheaply than even the
amalgamated companies. Mr. Bright, secretary of the
British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company, gave
evidence in reference to the cost of telegraphic wires and
their repairs ; and the committee then adjourned.
RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS BEFORE PARLlA-
intia.—Yeaterday in the House of Commons, in group
No. 9, the following Bills were considered :—ln the Wey
and Arun Junction Canal the preamble was declared to be
proved, and it was ordered to be reported. The Isle of
Wight (Newport Junction) Railway was unopposed, and
referred back to the committee ; and the Cambrian
Railway (Revived Line to Dolgelly) was ordered to be
further considered on Monday next. Mr. Pre» held a
Court of Examiners, when he found that, in "Ward
Jackson's " Estate Bill, Sarnia Estate (Extension of
Powers) Bill, and the Hamps Estate Bill, no standing
orders were applicable, and in the Aberdeen Town
Council Bill the standing orders had been complied with.
MUZZLES FOR Doos.—The Commissioner of
Police of the Metropolis has forwarded to us the sub-
joined memorandum, dated Metropolitan Police oMaes
10th July, 1868:—" A muzzle for dogs, which complies
with the conditions of the law and will admit of the
animal breathing and drinking without obstrucrion,azaz
be seen at Messrs. Barron and Wilson's, 438, West
who will make and supply any number 'squired of dif-
ferent sixes."

DEATH OF AN Ormx BAT= or Pam:m.-
11m Constantine, wife of Mr. W. S. Constantine, of Scar-
boroh, was on Thursday morning found dead in one of
the cells at the Borough gaol. She was apprehended on
the previous day on a charge of obtaining 224 by false
pretences hom the York City and County Banking
company's branch. It will be remembered that Constan-
tine was the man recently shot at by his landlord, and the
circumstances in which be has lance been placed by the
injuries he received may have had something to do with
the conduct of his wife. She was a confirmed opium
eater, and it is supposed her sudden and total deprivation
of the drug has acted injuriously upon her.
