LEEDL—Last night there was a great liberal
meeting in Leeds, in order to nominate
20candidates
for the next election. From 16,000 ,000 per-
sons wore present. The 'first resolution pledged the
liberal party not to bring out more than two can-
didates, leaving the tories the third seat intended
for the minority. Mr. Baines, M.P., was present, and
was proposed for re-election on behalf of the working
classes. Mr. Alderratia Carter, hteddlltt of the tram
branch of the Reform League, was proposed, sa also wsa
Lord Ambcrley. Mr. Baines, in parliamentgthe meeting,
said within a fortnigt the presen would be a
thing of the past. The electors would be called uto
create a new parliament, • parliament now indeed writhe
history of Engbuid. He approved of bringing out only
two liberals for Leeds. Among the changes since last
election be especially mentioned the enfranchisement of
the working classes, by which the vote* in Leeds would be
multiplied fourfold. A peaceful revolution had been
effected, and the people have to show whether they will
exert their new power for the interest, honour, and
character of England. He believed they would do so.
Mr. Carter ooke, declaring that, if elected, he would
fight under Gladstone. The IthOW of hands waa largely in
favour of Baines and Carter. Mr. Carter then doctored
himself to be in the field. The tories have as yet made
no aim except placarding some bills on walls saying
" Bowl oft and Wheelhouse (a local barrister) for Leeds.'
MEATHYR.—The Right Hon. H. A. Bruce has
meta considerable number of his leading supporters at
the Bush Hotel. In tourse of his address he expressed
himself as tolerably of morass, if he could rely
upon promises, but in election times it would not do to be
too certain. He claimed the first seat, and thought that
16 ye,ars hard work in the House of Commons entitled
him to it. lie &wired to stand by himself, and let tho
other two candidates fight for the second seat between
themselves. A committee, upon which 609 Dames were
PM oiled, was appointed, of which Mr. Clark, of Howled'
Iron Works, and high sheriff for Glamorgan, iv chairman.
lihauosrEntsitua.- —At a numerously attended
meeting of delegates from all parts of the county, held at
Dolgelly, it was unanimously resolved that Mr. David
Williams, of Castell-Dendraeth, near Portmadoc, be in-
vited 'to stand in the liberal interest, and on the volun-
tary principle. Mr. Williams received a deputation on
Friday and acceded to the request, and his atlibwe will be
out in a few days. Be has twice before contested the
county, and was on the lest occasion defeated by a very
narrow majority. As yet the tories have made no definite
sign. ILr. -Richard Meredydd Richards, of Caerynwch,
near Dolgelly, is spoken of as a probable nominee, the
sitting member having given offence to his party by his
vote upon the Universities Bill. It will hardly be credited
in this age of progress that a meeting of Sir Watkin's
tenants has been convened for the purpose of adopting a
petition, praying that they may vote according to their
conscience and principles.
MORTETTI.—Sir George Grey has lately written
to Mr. A. It. Guthrie, of Waterloo, Blyth, the gentleman
who was chiefly instrumental in getting Birth and Cowpen
annexed to the parliamentary borough of Morpeth, and
has stated his desire to that gentleman to have an early
opportunity of addressing his new constituents in Blyth.
There is at present no indication of intended opposition to
the return of the right hon. gentleman.
Rshhuro.—Sir Charles Russell, whom the con-
servatives have given up as a candidate for Berkshire,
will, it is thought, offer himself for the county town.
STAFFORDSIIIRE.—Mr. Staveley Hill, Q.C., has
been invited to stand for West staordshire as a con-
servative. Mr. J. Hartley, of Wolverhampton, a Wes-
leyan, will contest East Stafford in the conservative interest.
THE EAST Rmixo.—Mr. Christopher Sykes, the
junior member for Beverley, and Mr. Mirrison Broadley,
ere candidates for the seat about to be vacated by Lord
Hotham. The Hon. Admiral Duncombe will also seek
re-election. With three conservative candidates no doubt
the liberals will contest the riding, but we have not yet
heard who is to be the candidate.
WATERFORD CITY.—Mr. James Delahunty has
commenced an active canvas of the electors.
WHITRY.—The Newcastle Chronicle understands
that Mr. W. H. Gladstone has announced his readiness to
come forward as a liberal candidate for the representation
of Whitby.
