ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

Buzcos.—Mr. Hugh Powell Price, of Castle-
madoc, will contest this borough against Mr. Howel
Gwyn, M.P. His address is on broadly liberal views, and
in it be expresses himself a warm adherent of Mr. (Had-
stone's policy. _ _ _

CHATIIAIL—Mr. Arthur Otway, the [fitting
member fur this borough, has just tamed his address to
the electors, making for their suffrages at the approaching
election. Ho apiwals to his pug conduct as a liberal mem-
ber as • ground for claiming the support of both old and
new electors.

CITY OF LONDON. Baron Rothschild and
Messrs. Crawford, Goschen, and Lawrence, the four
liberal members, have issued a joint addrote. After
alluding to the fact that each elector for the City has now
but three votes, the hon. members go on to say :—.4 We
have refrained from addressing you with reference to the
coming election until the effect of the extension of the
franchise upon the relative strength of the liberal and
conservative parties had been well ascertained. It ap-
pears that, large as was the liberal majority at the elec-
tion of 1865, the accession to its ranks which it has since
acquired is such, that the minority, as we are advised,
will not reach the number which would entitle the con-
servative party to expect to return one member to parlia-
ment, ev,n under the new system of limited voting.
With your assured numerical superiority the liberal
party in the City can still return four members. It is
therefore our grateful duty again to place our services at
your disposal ; and relying on a continuance of the sup-
port we have hitherto received from you. we shall ap-
proach the contest with every confidence in the result.
The conviction that in the fats of the limitation of your
individual votes united action can alone secure the four
seats to the liberal party is paramount in our minds, and
we have therefore thought it right, in the first instance, to
address you jointly, hoping in due timo to avail ourselves
of the customary privilege of placing before you, each in
his own name, the opinions wo hold on these great issues
which the coming election is to try."
Drnux CITY.—The Freeman understands that
at a recent meeting of the conservative party, it was defi-
nitely decided that the Hon. Mi. Plunket, author of the
" Life of Lord Plunket," and nephew of the late Bishop
of Tuam, should be the second conservative candidate in
conjunction with Sir Arthur Guinness, Bart., for the
suffrages of the citizens of Dublin.
Faoaiz.—Sir Henry C. Rawlinson, H.C.B.
M.P., has issued his address to the electors of Frome—the
borough he has represented for the past three years. In
it he says that the cordial reception he met with at the
inauguration of the Promo Working Men's Liberal Union
on Monday last emboldens him to come forward and
solicit their suffrages at the next election. The tory party
have not yet started a candidate, nor are they expected
to do so. . -

HAOINEY.—The local papers state that Mr.
Tyswa Amherst will not be the conservative candidate for
this new borough as at first intended, but that the con-
servatives have determined on starting Colonel Thompson,
of the Tower Hamlets rifle brigade, as their candidate.
I Pawlen.— Mr. H. E. Adair, one of the sitting
members (liberal) seeks re-election. Mr. W. 11. West, a
barrister, is a second liberal candidate.
LEOLINBTER.—The sitting members for this
hot ouph, Mr. Richard Arkwright and Lord Mahon, have
issued their addresses to the electors, soliciting re-election.
For some weeks past they have been actively engaged in
canvassing the borough, and each seems confident of the
result. The tory party in the borough are divided., and
should It liberal candidate appear there would be little
doubt of his success.

-....--
NEWCASTIZ-UNDER-LYME. Mr. Rnlmon, of
Northampton, has been adopted as the second liberal
candidate for this borough, in conjunction with Mr. Allen,
the sitting member.
SOUTH WANWICKSIIIRE.—MeitiIIa. H. C. Wise
and John Hardy have issued their addresses in the con-
servative interest.
Tktßo.—The quiet walk-over which has been
anticipated here for the liberal member, the Hon. Captain
Vivian, and the conservative, Mr. F. M. Williams, is now
very likely to be disturbed. The working mon of Truro
have for some time past been complaining of the conduct
of the liberal leaders, who appear to be content to have the
representation of the borough neutralised by allowing a
tory to retain one of the seats unchallenged. The liberals
buying gained a considerable accession of strength by the
new Reform Bill, the working men have determined to
take action on their own account, and the result is that
Mr. Ilismore-Edwards, a London publisher, has arrived
in Truro at their invitation, and is making arrangements
for contesting the seat.
WEDNERBUItY.- Mr. A. Browlen, who has been
definitely accepted by the liberals of this new borough as
their candidate, has addressed several meetings during
the last few days, and resolutions approving of his candi-
dature have been unanimously adopted.

cup and cover was presented to Mr. Cherie.' Noate,

Mawr of citizens. The cup, which W4-.1 presented by the
