ELEC7IOIV: INT LLIGE NCR.

BERW IC E.—A very strong contest is expected rrr this burtit,
BE•EItLEY.—M r. Lane Fox having declined to offer himself At
the ensuing election, C. H. Batley. Esq., a Yorkshire gentleman,
will offer himself in Mr. Fox's interest. There is no doubt of but
sum/IL—Leeds Mercury.
BRISTOL-111r. Hart Davin, in a letter to his constituents.
says.—•• The state of my health is such, that I cannot permit impart(
to be put in nomination as n candidate at the ensuing general elec-
tion, and this must be understood as my final detenttluatlou."
Mr. Bright says.—" With.the deepest gratitude for your confiffesew
—with the proud consciousness of having deserved it--with my
past the pledge of my future conduct--and., above all, with thy
grateful hope, that it my publie life meet not your approve', 1
shall carry with me your personal friendship and esteem.'
Caftuirr.— The Cardiff and contributory boroughs are likely
to be keenly contested ; but from the result of Lord James fituan's
canvass, little doubt is entertained of his success.

Catto,ow.—This county is as closely tied up.as the borough of
Carlow half, by the family compact of Mr. Kavanagh and CoL
Bruen.
CARMARTHEN.—The lion. Mr. Trevor and Mr. Jona have
announced their intention of again offering themselves for the
vacancies which will be occasioned in tile representation of Lbw
county and of the borough bathe expected dissolution. Both, to
is presumed, will he returned without opposition.
CI; lIBEtt LA ND --sir J. R. U. Graham, Bart has accepted the
invitation of the Blue Freemen of Carlisle; but he dots not ap-
pear to prize his good fortune quite to highly as certain of the
inciters would wish. Instead of flying on the wings of lomat ere*
to stake hands, dine, and so forth, he tells them that. when the
proper time arrives. he shall have the honour of soliciting there
support in person ; in the meantime he trusts they will reserve their
votes in Iris favour. Tints, we see, times are shined. Those wt.
liner set so high a value upon their favours, are now obliged to go
a begging, and many congratulate themselves that they can get a
really respectable gentleman like Sir, J. R. G. Graham to comply
with their requests —Cumberland Parquet.
DOVER.—Yesterday evening John Holcomb, Esq. one of lbw
candidate,' for the representation of this place, made his public en-
-ay isle this *OW*. oral a mesa gratifying efteptioaalo seedidate ie
sanely in the recollection of ally inhabitant; A was alike honour-
able to the freemen, and highly flattering to Mr. Holcomb. A.
party of his friends, to the number of :10 and upwards, on horses-
back, met his carriage an the London road, at three miles distorter,
and escorted it to Buckland Bridge, where a large band of muac,
with flags, streamers, devices. &c. and an immense number of
freemen, were waiting to receive him. A very long procenion
formed, and the horses being taken from his carriage, he was drown
into and through the town, amidst the most deafening hums. The
whole line of road, for the distance of two miles, was one dense
multitude. The windows, house tops, and, in fart, every rising
situation, where it was possible to obtain a view, vies tilled wait
well-dressed females, waving handkerchiefs, and showing favour'
of red and blue (Mr. Holcomb's colour), whilst the males che-reti
as the procession passed. Upon arriving at his Committee Room,
Mr. Holcomb addressed the freemen very shortly, thanking them
for the reception he had received, and which circumstance would be
remembered, and ever treasured in his heart.

Mr. Butterworth. one of our present Members. has been canvass.
ins the town for some days past, and Mr. Wilbraham, our other
:limber, is expected To-morrow.
FIFE.—We understand that a candidate has appeared for the
eastern district of Fife burghs. against the Lord Advocate. viz.
Mr. Balfour cf Whittingham ; and that a keen canvas. has already
commenced.—Calcdoulan Mercury.
GALWAY.—Mr. James Daly is certain of his return for the
county of Galway; the contest will be between Mr. Martin. atil
Lambert of Crcgclare, the new candidate, who is promised all the
influence of the Marquis of Clanricarde. The resignation of Mr.
St. George, of Tyrone, is much regretted ;11r. Burke, the candidate
for the town, is opposed to the corporation.—Cut k Conga:salon.
GLAMORGAN.—There will nut, we understand, be any contest
for the county of Glamorgan.
GLOUCESTER.— R. Bramsb Cooper, Esq. and Colonel
Webb, the present Members for this city, again offer themselves r.*
candidates. John Phillpotts, Esq. also offers himself. A repo-t
is in circnlation that Colonel Berkeley also intend* to offer himself
as one of the Members, and we have some reason to suppose that
such a report is not altogether unfounded.—Gloruarer Herald..

„
iIAVERFORDWERT.—%% . H. Scourtield, Esq. retires. arid R.
H. P. Phillips Ma; offered himself as a candidate to succeed him.
lIEREFORD.—The pledge of numerous of the freemen of the
city of Hereford to support and vote for LorJ Costner, at the next
election. although having intimated his intention of retiring, cod to
which 373 signatures were attached, having been forwarded to Ewe-
nor Castle, the tin. James Somers Cocks has replied thereto,
expressing himself ” satisfied " that his brother, notwithatamllng
his public declaration. " will, with sincere thanks, accept thttr
most flattering offer of support."
KILDARE.—No contest. Lord William Fitzgerald ,and Mr.
Robert Letouche will be re-elected.

KI N 0.8 CO UxTY.—We suppose that Lord Oxmantown and
Mr. Bernard will be returned without opposition.
LEIT at at.--It is mated to us, and we are exceedingly sorry that
we see no re.a.stm to doubt the tact, that a coalition has been formed
by Mr. Samuel White, one of the sitting :Heathers, and that
branch of the Leitrim tam•lr which is opposed in politics and in-
terest to the excellent Earl of Leitrim. Thus 31r. Samuel White
joins the Orange interest. and becomes opposed to the return of one
of the stauncheat advocates of Catholic Emancipation.

LimEiticx.—There is a candidate hir the city of Umerick,
against Mr. Spring Rice. A gentleman of the name of Dixon ot.
fern himself.

Lou•ru.—.Some of one county of Louth friends talk monstrously
big about the independence of that fine county, in which it is well
known, however, there is a greit Catholic interest, but which, not-
withstanding, constantly returns two Orangemen. Mr. Leslie Fos-
ter, the relative of Lord Oriel, and Mr. John Jocelyn, the brother
of Lord Roden, the celebrated Biblical.
MEATit.—There will be no contest here. The conduct of Lord
Dec:ire and Sir Marcus Sommerville in Parriment, have secured
to them all the stifrr..ges in the county.
NEWCASTI.E.—Though a certain party are anxious to have a
contest at Newcastle, we do not believe, from what we have heard,

that there will be any serious opposition to the two present 31em.
bent. Lord Normanby is in Italy; and Sir E. 11----tt, and other•
who have been named an coming forward upon the new interest. we
are thoroughly persuaded, have no such intentions. It is, how-.
ever, currently reported that a third person will be put in nomina-
tion at the approsching election ; and thus a henry expense may
be brought upon Sir M. W. Ridley and Mr. Ellison, who, pollen,
for a fourth titt.e, the suffrages of thz free burgesses of that ancien

corrpnration.
N EWCAST Le-t; IZDEN. LYM E.—A considerable number of the
burgesses of this borough' principailv.of the ••,blue' party, held
a ••congress" in a field adjoining the town, on %Wednesday, for
the purpose of deliberating upon what should be done prevaratoty
to the election. The person who acted as •• president, • inquired,
" whether they wire satisfied with their present representatives ?"
Very general shouts of " No, no !" Wes any gentleman to be
invited!" Numbers answered, Ileatheme, 4r. fielithvote !"
After some further consultation, it was determin J that the assem-
bly should sign a requisition to that gentleman, calling upon him
again to steed as a candidate. This instrument was aecordincip
prepared and numerously signed 4 and two gentlemen of the pery
