EjatAßivocir Btraomi.—The Right Hon. E. P.
Bouverie (L.) has issued his address seeking re-election.
With respect to the Irish church question ho says :—" The
Irish established church has long been deemed by the
liberal party to be an institution indefensible on any just
grounds of ppoolicy or reason. The time has arrived for its
removal. no endowment of Maynooth, which I have
always opposed, must needs also disappear, and with it all
schemes for endearing a Roman catholic university in Ire-
land." He thinks that the national expenditure calls for
a strict examination and revision, with a view to itareduc-
tion, and that Mr. Gladstone, the leader of the liberal
party, is the man who is eminently qualified and able, if
armed with executive power, to conduct such a revision
with skill and success.

tired from the candidature of this county, and the Right

he declines the invitation.

WoaczerEa.--Bir F. Lyeett bag issued his ad-
dress, in which he states that, though a steadfast pro-

banded down to us by the Reformation, he would, from
considerations of justice, give his vote for the principle
embodied in the resolutions concerning the Irish church
which commanded last session the assent of such large
majorities in the House of Commons. He would support
any well considered scheme of education, without resorbng
to the compulsory system, which would tend to extinSh
voluntary effort. He is in favour of protection •
granted by law to the funds of all trade societies fo
for the protection of the interests of labour—the capital of
the working man. In conclusion Sir Francis says he
would support all measures calculated toromote the well-
being of the masses, and 'to enhance the prosperity and
extend the liberties of this great country.
