£LECTJON INTELLIGINCE.

WAK 6FISLD.—Mr. Charleeworth will, it is said,
be a candidate for this borough in the conservative inter-
est at the general election. The sitting member is Mr.
W. H. Leathans, a liberal, with whom Mr. Charlesworth
contested the representetion in 1859.
CeausLa.—The conservative member, Mr.
W. N. Hodgson, will be opposed by Sir Wilfred Lawson,
who set for the city from 1859 to 1865, sad who lately re-
fused an invitation to stand in the liberal interest for
Sunderland.

COCIERMOCTH.—It is rumoured that Mr. Isaac
Fletcher, who unsuogiessf ally contested this borough
against Major Green Thompson a week or two ego, will
again come forward. Both the sitting members—Lord
Kayo and Major Thompson—are conservatives. One of
them—most probably the latter—must retire at the dis-
solution, as Cockermouth is one of the boroughs placed in
schedule A of the Reform Act of last year.
WHITEHAVEN.—Mr. Cavendish Bentinck is not
likely to be disturbed in the possession of the seat which
he has held since 1865. He is consented by marriage
with the family of the Earl of Loasdale, whose influence
is very powerful in the borough.
EAST CUMBEKLAND.—There is a rumour that
fir H. Vane, of Armathwaite Hall, and Mr. R. C.
Musgrave, of Edenhall, will be brought out in opposition
to the present liberal members, the Hon. C. Howard and
Mr. W. Marshall.

WILVT CUMBERL/Nl).—The Hon. Percy Wynd- ;
hats and Captain Lowther, both conservatives, will
scarcely be opposed. The influence of Lord Leconfield and 1
the Earl of Lansdale is powerful in this division.
BLACKBURN. —Mr. John Morley, the well known
political writer. intends to offer himself for the represen-
tation of Blackburn in the liberal interest. The sitting
members, Mears. Itornby and Fadden, are conservatives.
NORTH WILTB.-Bir George Jenkinson, who un-
successfully contested North Wilts in 1865, and Notting-
bans in 1866, again offers himself as a conservative to the
former constituency. He says in his address :—" I
advocated liberal measures, and I do so now with eve=
greater confidence, as the whole tendency of the legiletiv•
measures of the present government ham been beware
extreme liberality. A reform bill for the lowering of the
franchise has been passed, but in my opinion it would be
' more complete if the county franchise were lingered as
much as the borough franchise, for I cannot we why the
working man in the county is not as mach entitled to a
vote OA the working man in a town."
NOTTINGHAL—Lord Amberley, it is said, does
net intend to stead again for Nottingham. A powerful
oembittation of employers and others tJ ism is formed to
re-elect Mr. Morley, as an act of oompe manes for the loss
and mortification canoed to him by t/ in deprivation of his
seat on petition. Sir Robert Clifton hu also announced
his resolution to stand. Should Mr Morley decline, Sir
R. Clifton sad Mr. Osborne will pro osbly be returned
NORTH NORTHUKSERLAHD.— -A rumour is preva-
lent that on a dissolution el poxlie sisal Lord g„„" Percy
will retire from the representatio a of North Northumber-
land, and that Earl Para,' aka / Meet eon of the Duke of
Nortlitunberlacd, will come for ward u a candidate in his
place. It is also added that opg gaitio, may be anticipated,
as • Mean= al the and Menem" in the county
will probably pentad seat on the laud aide.

At one o'clock the horses fed, and so did the-
majority of the company, the important cere-
mony being very much facilitated by the erec-
tion of the new dining hall, and the excellent
&Merit. de cuisine of Messrs. Spier' and.. Pond ;
and in the evening the " sires " paraded in all
their strength and majesty. The annual growth
of the show was strongly indicated by the presence,
both at this and at previous times, of numerous
pairs in harness, both ponies and full-grown horses.
At the commencement of the show the directors
found the greatest difficulty in attracting exhibitors
in this class, but now their name is legion,. and
their whirling round the arena, and kicking upany
a muuntof the " Oly inpic dust," form one of the meet
attractive features of the exhibition. There.were
lady drivers yesterday as well as lady riders,..and
both worked zealously and fearlessly, bringiug,down
successive rounds of applause from thu reserved.
seats and galleries. The Prince of Wales is-ex-
pected to visit the show to-day, and his royal
highness, not wishing to be " mobbed," has
at the ast hour left the exact time of arrival
uncertain. Many hundreds of the fashionable
world must have expected to meet his ..reyal
highness yesterday, for the setting down of
carriages from three to five o'clock was incessant,
and the " horse show "—of carriage horses andent
—was almost as attractive at the entrance.as in.
the interior of the building.
' What is "the Lupin 1" A zealous exhibitor
who had of course no object in view beyond.thal
of benefiting both humanity and equinity-thruat
into our hands yesterday afternoon a rather volumi-
nous pamphlet, which, after an exordium setting.
forth the profound although somewhat rueondite
axioms that "The healthier a horse is, Unless.
liable he is to disease," and that " Prevention.. is.
better than cure," proceeded to state that tbe exhi-
bitor had discovered that a certain forage. plant
called " the Lupin " might be divided into the•
" Anthyllis Vulneraria, the " Broomtui...Sohra-
theni," the " Ornithopaa Satin," and the "Petro—
selinum Sativum," and that he had preeend an.
essential food from all the above learn?rlderivisr
tires, which would be found of extraordinary ad.-
vantage in the feeding of hones. We feel .Certaia.
that a discovery which comes forth herelded.by so.
much classical and botanical ennlitien-must be.
something well worth impaction, and therefc,ae,.
without pledging ouraelvsa to results, wefeel juin-
tied in calling the attention of horse-flow visters
to the preparation of "Lupin," acco-ding. to . the
analysis of Professor Voelaker, and which.wia be.
found in one of the gallons.
A very anditable feature of both lie.cattlh and
horse shows belt', at Islington is the almost total
absence of the light-fingered gentry, from the
crowd. Senialing of this may, *haps,. be re-
ferred to the 'primitive and virtuous chisnenter of
the locality, hut a good deal, we suspects, to the
admirable arrangements and sharp. surveillance of

the emus, the effect is there • these are no coin-
plainta of ladies chains pled a, or men's
watches abstracted.

CRYSTAL PALACE. —An interesting addition has
lately been made to the Navaho court, consisting of
specimens of the volcanic ash sad merit., by which the
city of Pompeii was overwhelmed, as well as of some of
the objects discovered in therein*. For these the company
is indebted to Signor Fiona, the able and indefatigable
director of the Mimeo Borhonico at Naples, who is also
director-wend of the excavations. A good soap of the
eat, and some of the most Interacting spots ha-.ro also been
pot up in the court.
THE HANDEL FESTIVAL—The provincial chorus
of the midland district asseniMed for rehearsal, under the
coadactorship of Mr. Front, at Birmingham, on Monday
evening, when the whole of the choruses were performed
in a manner which proved most satisfactorily the
efficiency of this branch of the festival choir.
CURATES' AUGYINTATION FUND. —At the second
annual meeting of the Curates' Augmentation Fund, to
be held at Willis's Rooms on Wednesday, the 24th inst.,
the Archbishop of York in the chair, we are informed that
the council will make grants of not lees than 251. for the
current year to all curates of 15 yeara standing who may
be eligible. The council hope to raise the amount of
those animal greats year by yew until they reach 1001., as
contemplated by the promoters of the fund.
